Player analysis
Player insights
Amari Cooper
NegativeValue47:26
Amari Cooper was selected at the 2.02 draft position in the current mock draft.
Insight pageAndre Johnson
PositiveValue13:00
The source identifies Andre Johnson as their favorite player ever, noting his consistency as a first-round fantasy pick during their early years of playing.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
PositiveRole7:00
The source identifies Brock Bowers as an elite tight end option, noting that he anchors the team's tight end room as the best in the league. Having already selected him in the mock draft, the source is avoiding additional tight ends like Colston Loveland or Trey McBride.
Insight pageBucky Irving
PositiveValue35:43
Bucky Irving is rising in redraft ADP compared to best ball, likely due to reduced concerns regarding his injury status now that he is in camp.
Insight pageCaleb Williams
PositiveProjection48:33
The source ranks Caleb Williams as the highest-ranked player on his board, though he was unable to draft him at the 8.09 spot.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
PositiveProjection28:17
The source ranks CeeDee Lamb as the highest-ranked player for 12-team, full-PPR, double-flex league settings, making him the ideal cornerstone for a wide receiver-heavy start.
Insight pageChase Brown
NegativeValue47:19
Chase Brown was selected between the 1.12 and 2.01 draft positions in the current mock draft.
Insight pageChris Godwin
PositiveValue5:56
The source bumped Chris Godwin up in their rankings following the injury update regarding Jalen McMillan, placing him ahead of Stefon Diggs, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Lawrence, Kalen Ballage, and Blake Corum. He was subsequently drafted in the ninth round as a depth veteran wide receiver.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
NegativeValue45:45
Christian McCaffrey was selected with the 1.06 pick in the current draft.
Insight pageChuba Hubbard
Colston Loveland
PositiveValue7:42
Colston Loveland is the highest-ranked player according to the expert average rankings on flockfantasy.com, though the source avoided drafting him because they had already selected Brock Bowers and did not want to draft a tight end for a flex spot.
Insight pageCourtland Sutton
PositiveValue19:13
Courtland Sutton is viewed as a value pick to be scooped at a discount, potentially receiving a value bump following the injury to Jaylen Waddle; he is also utilized as a depth veteran wide receiver.
Insight pageDavante Adams
De'Von Achane
PositiveValue29:11
Devon Achane is targeted at the 2.04, viewed as a strong value that justifies an early-round wide receiver strategy due to the depth of running back talent available in the second round.
Insight pageDK Metcalf
NegativeProjection46:26
The source selects DK Metcalf at the 7.09 in a double-flex league; while acknowledging his limited ceiling and poor offensive/quarterback situation, the source values his consistent production as a reliable top-24/25 wide receiver.
Insight pageEmeka Egbuka
NegativeProjection32:48
The source indicates that the injury status of teammate Jalen McMillan impacts where Emeka Egbuka should be ranked.
Insight pageJalen Hurts
NegativeProjection13:29
Jalen Hurts loses relative value in six-point passing touchdown leagues compared to four-point formats. His fantasy production relies heavily on rushing touchdowns (averaging 10+ per season) rather than passing volume (1.4 passing TDs per game over the last two years), making him less efficient than high-volume passers like Joe Burrow in this scoring system.
Insight pageJalen McMillan
NegativeInjury4:12
Jaylen McMillan has a knee injury with no current timeline for return. The source advises moving him down in best ball rankings and notes he is not a draftable asset in standard redraft leagues. He is considered the only concerning injury of the day, with ripple effects on teammate rankings.
Insight pageNegativeInjury18:46
Jalen McMillan is dealing with an injury that the source identifies as the only concerning injury of the day; this update has caused the source to adjust their rankings for teammates Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka.
Insight pageJames Cook
NegativeValue47:19
James Cook was selected between the 1.12 and 2.01 draft positions in the current mock draft.
Insight pageJameson Williams
PositiveValue45:26
The source considers Jameson Williams an incredible value in the sixth round of a full PPR, double-flex league, expressing a strong preference to draft him over other available options.
Insight pageJayden Daniels
PositiveProjection45:48
The source ranks Jayden Daniels as one of their highest-ranked quarterbacks for these formats, calling his value at the 7.08 in a 6-point passing touchdown format 'absolutely incredible'. While he is a preferred target, the source advises against drafting him as a second quarterback if Lamar Jackson is already on the roster.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
NegativeInjury3:41
Jaylen Waddle is dealing with a strain and is expected to return in 4 to 5 days; the source is monitoring the situation but has not yet moved him down in rankings. His injury status is also impacting the draft value of other players like Courtland Sutton.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
NegativeUsage23:21
Jalen Warren is selected as the team's third running back in the draft.
Insight pageJoe Burrow
PositiveProjection12:14
Joe Burrow is a high-priority target in six-point passing touchdown formats, where he gains significant value over rushing-reliant quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts. While Hurts averages over 10 rushing touchdowns per season, Burrow has averaged 2.3 passing touchdowns per game over the last two years compared to 1.4 for Hurts. The source ranks Burrow among their highest-valued quarterbacks for these formats.
Insight pageJordan Addison
PositiveValue48:42
The source reaches for Jordan Addison at the 8.04, justifying the pick because the full-PPR, four-wide-receiver-capable format makes Addison a viable fifth wide receiver for his roster build.
Insight pageJordyn Tyson
NegativeValue69:19
The source identifies Jordan Tyson as their next highest-ranked player available after Jameson Williams is sniped, though they explicitly clarify that Tyson is not in the same tier as Williams.
Insight pageJosh Downs
NegativeValue45:16
The source views drafting Josh Downs at the 6.12 as a significant reach relative to ADP, though they acknowledge that reaching for a preferred player is more understandable when drafting from the extreme turns of the board.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
PositiveValue32:31
The source notes that Josh Jacobs recently got banged up, though they do not consider the injury concerning, comparing it to Jaylen Waddle's status. Additionally, the source highlights Jacobs as a historical example of a successful draft stance, noting that he capitalized on the market overreacting to Jacobs playing a single drive in the Hall of Fame game, which caused his ADP to drop to the eighth round.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue29:03
Kenneth Walker is identified as the source's highest-ranked player, a stance that aligns with his current Sleeper ADP.
Insight pageKyle Pitts
NegativeValue48:56
The source suggests that in a standard two-wide receiver, one-flex league, drafting a tight end like Kyle Pitts is a superior strategic move compared to reaching for a fifth wide receiver.
Insight pageKyren Williams
PositiveValue4:36
Kyren Williams is drafted to help balance roster construction and is prioritized over Josh Jacobs based on internal sheets despite Sleeper ADP. He is part of a running back room ranked 11th, described as an older, boring back with projectable volume.
Insight pageLamar Jackson
PositiveProjection40:05
The source selects Lamar Jackson as their primary quarterback in a six-point passing touchdown league, citing his high-end passing touchdown production from two years ago and his consistent rushing upside. Despite a later comment expressing regret about the pick, the source maintains he is the highest-ranked player on their draft sheets.
Insight pageLuther Burden
PositiveBreakout7:47
Luther Burden is viewed as a high-upside wide receiver two, with the source moving him up in their personal rankings due to positive buzz coming out of Chicago.
Insight pageMichael Pittman
NegativeValue18:36
Michael Pittman Jr. was selected in the ninth round of the mock draft; he is noted as the highest-ranked player on the site's expert average, though the source prefers other options in their personal rankings.
Insight pageMike Evans
Nico Collins
PositiveValue30:51
The source identifies Nico Collins as the best value on the board, noting that their internal ranking differs from the Sleeper ADP.
Insight pagePuka Nacua
PositiveRole6:56
Puka Nacua was selected as the first pick in the mock draft and is drafted as the team's stud wide receiver, anchoring a wide receiver room that the source ranks fourth overall.
Insight pageQuentin Johnston
PositiveValue13:14
The source highlights Quentin Johnston as a favorite player in a more recent context.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
RJ Harvey
NegativeValue73:58
The source characterizes the selection of RJ Harvey at the 6.02 as a 'crazy draft' move; while it is considered a reach, the source notes it is more justifiable when drafting from the turn of the board.
Insight pageStefon Diggs
NegativeValue8:48
The source is monitoring Stefon Diggs' draft position to evaluate his current market value following his recent signing.
Insight pageTee Higgins
PositiveValue35:06
The source selects Tee Higgins as their second wide receiver in a full PPR, double-flex mock draft, noting he has been the highest-ranked player on their draft sheets for some time, despite Sleeper ADP favoring Bucky Irving. The source expresses satisfaction with the roster construction alongside CeeDee Lamb.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
NegativeValue8:51
Terry McLaurin was drafted at 502, with the source noting his draft stock is slipping following the Stefon Diggs signing.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
NegativeInjury9:28
The source is moving TreVeyon Henderson down in their rankings due to ongoing pass protection deficiencies and injury concerns coming out of New England. Despite his scoring potential, Henderson is struggling to earn playing time, with Rhamondre Stevenson currently preferred for his superior pass protection skills.
Insight pageTrey McBride
NegativeValue8:05
Trey McBride is valued higher than Brock Bowers in the market and carries a higher Sleeper ADP than Nico Collins. The source notes that drafting McBride would effectively cross Colston Loveland off their board as they do not want to draft a tight end to fill a flex spot.
Insight pageTreylon Burks
NegativeRole22:53
Treylon Burks is considered part of the team's fourth-ranked wide receiver room.
Insight pageXavier Worthy

Episode Transcript
0:00As always, we are going to get into a real money draft right after we go ahead and start the mock because you know me,
0:07you know I'm not entering into a real money league until I'm at least a little bit warm. So, instead of being a
0:14stone-cold idiot, I'm only an idiot.
0:16But, today is a special stream. One, sadly, we have some injury updates to discuss, but more importantly, we had football today. Yes, Carson Beck and the
0:26Arizona Cardinals took on the Carolina Panthers. Now, I'll be honest with y'all. Um does anything that happened today in the Hall of Fame game matter in
0:33the slightest way for fantasy purposes at all? No. I was explaining it to my fiance tonight when we were walking the
0:40dogs, and how I was putting it is like oh, okay. So, I of course this is how I was explaining it to her. I was going
0:47the preseason, it's like practice, right? They're practice games. But, the Hall of Fame game is a practice game for the practice game. So, realistically,
0:57nothing that happened in the game tonight matters at all from a fantasy perspective, but a hell of a lot of fun
1:03to be able to actually see some clips on Twitter, see Carson Beck hitting some deep bombs, and yeah, just reminds us
1:09that we are that much closer to football. But, I Yes, Bam Knight's stock up. Um yeah, let's go through everything just changed after this game. Let's talk
1:20about the fantasy football lessons learned from the Cardinals and Panthers uh game. I I'm not changing you my rankings for a second, but there are
1:29some other things that happened today injury-wise that I do think we need to talk about and put them on the radar.
1:35Let me just pull up the Underdog Twitter cuz that's the easiest way to do it. So, obviously, Carson Beck, 188 passing
1:40yards, passing touchdown, hit a couple deep bombs, people are excited for. I don't need to get hit with the copyright, so we're going to skip past
1:46that. Don't care about the Jayden Higgins update, don't care about any of these highlight grabs. I'm Jona Coleman getting some positive um buzz coming out
1:53of Denver camp from Adam Schefter. If we continue to get a drumbeat here, I mean Jona Coleman was a very compelling
2:00prospect. So maybe that's something to keep your eye on. I'm not changing my rankings due to it. Uh the Jamir Gibbs
2:06signing extension literally doesn't matter at all. I mean we knew he was going to play this season. We talked about this in the live stream last
2:12night. Literally who cares? Um Casey Conception grabbing a ball from Shaddur Sanders doesn't matter. Cardell Tate um doesn't matter. Where's the stuff that
2:21does matter? Here, Jaylen Waddle has a strain and expects to be back in the next 4 to 5 days. I am not moving Jaylen
2:27Waddle down my rankings due to this update just yet, but it is going to be something to monitor as we go through
2:32the rest of the week. And then going through and looking for some additional things. DeSean Shribling back at practice. That is going to be a great
2:40update here. And then where is the Jaylen McMillan stuff? Because that's what actually matters here. Um Kinyon Sedique expected to be ready for week
2:48one but will miss a couple weeks. We already talked about moving Kinyon Sedique down. To to do Jayden Jaylen McMillan knee without timeline for
2:56return. So this is something that I actually do think matters. I mean does matter for best ball leagues with the Jaylen McMillan stuff. I mean your
3:05regular redraft league if you're drafting in a two wide receiver one flex Yahoo league, you're not drafting Jaylen McMillan. He's a waiver wire wide
3:12receiver. But in best ball, I think you have to move McMillan down and you also need to give a bump up to a couple other
3:20wide receivers with McMillan seeing what seems to be I mean a concerning injury the way that they worded it. So how I
3:28updated my rankings today, I'm sure y'all noticed. Obviously you can go to flockfantasy.com pull up my updated rankings anytime you want. Looks like at
3:34this time of year literally every single creator on the site's updating their rankings daily as I just did with mine.
3:41Um I did move two players up. I moved Egbuka up.
3:47Where Egbuka's now at the top of this tier for me. I moved him ahead of Terrill Atwell, Ladd McConkey, Garrett Wilson just two or three spots, right?
3:54Because if Jaylen McMillan um is going to be negatively impacted by this this off season, I think that is relevant.
4:00And then I also decided to move Chris Godwin up a bit. I moved Godwin ahead of guys like Stefon Diggs, Rico Dowdle,
4:07Trevor Lawrence, Kalen Ballage, and Blake Corum. I think it is a positive little thing for Godwin as well.
4:16But, I appreciate everybody hanging out with us in this live stream. We are starting our draft off with Puka Nacua and Brock Bowers. We'll see how the rest
4:25of this mock goes. Again, that $200 draft that we're going to be doing right after this. How we're going to fill that
4:30is how we always do. It is just going to be first come, first serve from the people in the live chat. Um I'm going to
4:36take Kyren Williams here. We're going to try to balance it out. But, it'll be first come, first serve with the people
4:40in the live chat. I'm going to go ahead and send the link to join our league.
4:46The first 11 people that click that link, you're in the league. Now, if I notice that you've been in a ton of
4:51drafts over the past few nights, I may boot you for somebody else. But, nonetheless, um first come, first serve.
4:57First 11 people that get in, you have a $0 buy-in. You are in the league for free. And I'm going to be putting $200
5:06in the league pot tonight. Whoever wins and gets first place, you get the entire pot. You get all $200.
5:13So, come ready. I appreciate you hanging out with us. Of course, you know I want to give back the best that I can. So,
5:20we're going to be doing that every single night until the season starts.
5:23And we are also going to be giving away a free flockfantasy.com season pass every single night before the season starts as well. All you have to do to
5:31enter that giveaway is drop a like on this live stream and then type the word season pass into the live chat. If you
5:38do those two things, you are going to get entered in to win a free one. And obviously, if you don't already have
5:43your season pass, it's not too late.

5:47It's going to get you set up with real-time draft assistance for your Sleeper, ESPN, Yahoo leagues. It's going to get you set up with custom draft
5:55sheets for your exact platform and your exact league settings. It's going to get you weekly and rest-of-season rankings throughout the entire year, not only for
6:03myself, but pretty much all your favorite creators you already watch on YouTube. Get you access to the trade calculator, get access to the My Teams page, the whole
6:12nine yards, everything for your redraft leagues on flockfantasy.com. Just make sure you use code flock. That way you also get free start/sit trade questions
6:20that you can ask me during the live streams in the season. And I'm going to be live streaming every single day until
6:25Christmas. I believe today is day like 101 of live streaming every day in a row.
6:34Now, Jackson says, "When is the actual flock league draft?" The flock league draft, which is what I'm practicing in every single practicing for every single
6:43night we do these live streams, is going to be August 15th.
6:48Let me confirm with you all real quick.
6:50Let me get the day that the meet-up is, because it's going to be the day before the meet-up, the day after we are going
6:58to have that flock league draft, which I am very excited for, of course.
7:04Let me scroll back, try to figure out when the flock league meet-up is. Okay, so the flock league meet-up is Sunday,
7:1116th, Revelry Kitchen and Bar in Austin, Texas at 5:00 p.m. Um it's completely free to show up. I'm going to have a ton
7:17of free hats. I'm going to have a ton of free merch for y'all. Um I'd love to meet you, love to hang out with you, and
7:22love to hook you up with some stuff for free. So, pull up to the meet-up um if you're in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas,
7:29Austin, any of the surrounding areas, I'd absolutely love to see you. So, please come out.
7:34Now, we have Davante Adams off of the 408. We're about to be on the clock again. I've already taken Bowers. The
7:40expert average rankings on flockfantasy.com have Colson Loveland as the highest ranked player. If you look at my rankings, I do have that now as
7:47Luther Burden with all the positive buzz that we're getting coming out of Chicago for Burden. So, I'll go ahead and take
7:52him here as our wide receiver two to make sure that we have that continued balanced start. And I do want to
7:56reiterate while Loveland maybe is exciting here, there's no world in which I want to be drafting another top tight end if I took Bowers
8:05or McBride. There's no world in which I want to take a fourth round pick where I can say, "The only slot in my roster
8:13that this guy can go into is the flex."
8:16So, if I take Bowers, that essentially crosses Loveland off my board. If I take McBride, it essentially crosses um Loveland off my board as well. And
8:26then obviously, if I take Bowers, I'm not taking McBride. Very, very clear.
8:30Okay.
8:32Now, we'll see what makes it back to us. And we just hit 300 likes on the stream.
8:38Appreciate everybody going down there and hitting that like button.
8:41Now, Mike Evans off the board at the 501.
8:51Terry goes 502. I guess Terry's slipping a bit with the Stefon Diggs signing.
8:55I'll be interested to see where Diggs goes in this draft.
8:59When we only have one running back through the first four rounds, I'm probably going to grab our second running back here in the fifth. Let me
9:05pull up the draft assistant. The draft assistant's telling us we're going to go at tight end. We have more than enough
9:10points there. Um what it looks like we need is we need running back and quarterback points. So, um that's what we're looking at.
9:16Quinshon Judkins off the board.
9:19Let me swing this around. Um right now, the expert average on flockfantasy.com have De'Andre Swift as the pick. I probably need to go ahead and just move
9:28Swift over Trevion in my rankings given the latest updates that we have coming out of New England with Trevion Henderson still dealing with pass
9:36production issues. Cuz the big concern with Trayveon isn't that he wouldn't score points if he gets on the field. If he gets on the field, I think Trayveon
9:43Henderson's going to score significantly more points than any other running back in this round. But the concern that you have with Trayveon Henderson is that he
9:51just isn't able to get on the field because of pass protection for um Rhamondre Stevenson.
10:00Now, Salty Springs says, "Mason, love the new vid. I feel like the new guys have a lot of potential. Good luck in the year."
10:06Appreciate you, my friend.
10:08Um it was the newest Flock League video was also the first time Thomas has edited one of those style videos. So, the
10:16editing was a little different.
10:17Definitely stuff we want to improve on.
10:19Definitely we are going to be trying our absolute best in the Flock League this year. But I am super excited. We have
10:25some special announcements that I'm trying to keep close to the chest that y'all should probably see about a week from now cuz everybody's coming into
10:32town on in 5 days. People are getting here on the 11th. So, I think Flock League's going to be absolutely massive
10:39this year. I think people are going to be super excited about the updates we put out in about 5 days.
10:45But obviously nobody likes Um Jordan says, "I like the editing." Yeah. Um the only like the notes that I had with
10:52Thomas that I didn't like in the newest Flock League video was for the editing was some of like the sound effects
10:59I didn't like. And then also some of like the stuff like making like flames go around me or some crap like that. And just in case y'all
11:10don't know we're talking about, there was a new Flock League video put out today. You're more than welcome to go hop in the comments. Let us know how you
11:17absolutely hate the new guy. How you absolutely hate Zufaa.
11:21And I'm sure we'll get you some street cred in the comment section. But yeah, if y'all hadn't seen, we actually voted
11:27on some league changes for the Flock League in terms of rules. I think two votes officially passed. We're switching to six-point passing touchdowns and the
11:37explanations are in the video.
11:39Um and then the other thing that passed is the third-place team isn't allowed to pick their match up for the semi or for
11:49the first round of the playoffs.
11:51So, those were the two things that passed. I could be mistaken. I know we voted on more stuff other than that.
11:59Okay. [snorts] Now, Romadune say offered 606, Drake Maygo 607 and
12:10let's see what we're going to do. Again, quarterback is in play. Well, if this was a basketball draft, I'd really be
12:15crossing Burrow off our board if we didn't have Chase. I guess here Burrow is viable. In terms of running backs, it'd be like
12:23Jaylen Warren. I don't know how excited we are about that. The three teams after us don't have a QB. So, I think we are
12:28going to go ahead and take Joe Burrow here at the 609.
12:35Okay, TC says Zach had me laughing during the video. Yeah, Zach's clips are pretty good.
12:42Um it's AJ says, "Is the league you're going to host next going to be on Underdog or Sleeper?" We're going to do
12:48a redraft league on Sleeper, my friend.
12:55Isaiah says, "Hey Mason, who would you say your favorite NFL player of all time is?" Um the first few years I played
13:01fantasy football, I think the first two years um my first-round pick was Andre Johnson both seasons.
13:08So, I would probably say Andre Johnson if we're going favorite player ever.
13:14If I got to pick a little bit more of a recent example, I would probably go Quentin Johnston.
13:23Slice says, "Mason, remember it's a six-point passing touchdown now, so Burrow's more valuable, right? Yeah, so if we're going like Flock League rule
13:30changes here, transitioning from a four-point passing touchdown league to a six-point passing touchdown league is greatly going to benefit Joe Burrow over Jalen Hurts.
13:39Cuz like obviously we can go through and we can look at what we had with Jalen Hurts over the past few years and Hurts
13:45has been just good if not better than Burrow from a points perspective, but this is with a four-point passing touchdown league. And a big reason for
13:51this is Jalen Hurts rushing touchdowns, 10, 13, 15, 14, 8. Jalen Hurts is averaging over 10 rushing touchdowns per season. We'll take Jalen Warren here as
14:01our third running back. Whereas if we go through and if we look at what Joe Burrow has done in the rushing
14:05department, um rushing touchdowns for Joe Burrow over the past 3 years, he's had two rushing TDs. So the gap between Hurts or Burrow is about 10 rushing
14:15touchdowns per season. But the gap with passing TDs, like if we're going from a per game perspective, over the past 2
14:22years Joe Burrow's average about 2.3 passing touchdowns per game. And over the past 2 years with Jalen Hurts, Jalen Hurts is averaging about 1.4.
14:31So Jalen Hurts has about a rushing touchdown or 0.75 rushing touchdowns per game more than Joe Burrow, but Joe Burrow has
14:42what about the same amount over Hurts with a passing touchdown category? So if rushing touchdowns were six fantasy points and passing touchdowns are only
14:51worth four, you're going to give the edge to the quarterback that's coming away with the rushing TDs over the passing TDs just cuz the passing TDs are
14:58discounted. But with our league changing to a six-point passing touchdown format, all of a sudden it doesn't matter where those touchdowns come from, it just
15:07matters who's going to be scoring more.
15:08So six-point passing touchdown league, I do think you give the edge to Burrow in comparison to where we would have been
15:15with this previously.
15:17Okay.
15:19Now we have R.J. Harvey at the 7-Eleven.
15:21Chuba Hubbard goes at the 7-12.
15:26Lawrence 801.
15:31Salty says, "Hey Mason, any updates on the Flock Fantasy app hitting the App Store?"
15:36So, I think I told you all the latest hold up was I called Apple and I finally got on the phone with them.
15:43They said that the issue was we gave them the wrong DUNS number, D U N S.
15:51So, I think the reason was is back whenever I set up this is a company cuz I did this for years for free. I of
15:58course I in college. And then all of a sudden one year I was like, "Crap, I'm starting to make money doing this." Like
16:02I never thought that would ever happen.
16:04So, I had to like set up a really quick LLC and I just set up like a sole proprietorship LLC. I didn't know what I
16:10was doing. My mom helped me do it. Um and then a couple years later when I was like, "Oh, I'm actually starting to
16:16bring people on the team. We're actually starting to make decent money doing this." I had uh then get an actual like
16:22accountant to do taxes. And then he told me he was like, "Hey, you'll actually save money doing taxes if you switch to
16:27an S corp." So, then we switched to an S corp. And then the DUNS number I submitted to Apple for the app, Flock
16:34Fantasy app, I think it was the DUNS number from the initial like thing before we switched to an S corp. So
16:40anyway, long story short, called them, told us we got the wrong DUNS number. I then had to go through, find the correct
16:45one. I sent it to the dev from flockfantasy.com who's handling all the app stuff. Um he submitted it to Apple.
16:52He got on the phone with Apple. Last I heard was 2 days ago.
16:57I don't think it was yesterday. I think it was 2 days ago.
17:00And they manually switched it and then pushed it back into review. So, we got we failed the first review cuz I gave
17:06them the wrong number.
17:07But we are in review again the second time. So, hopefully the Flock Fantasy app is out relatively soon.
17:16But that's the update I got for y'all right now. So, using the expert average on the site, you actually have Michael
17:22Pittman Jr. as the highest ranked player. However, using my rankings, we have Courtland Sutton. And that wouldn't be the worst time in the world to be
17:29scooping some Sutton at a discount given the Waddle injury. Now, again, I'm not making any dramatic statements with this Waddle injury. You can see here he went
17:36at the 401 in this draft. But maybe Sutton gets a small bump up.
17:43Fanny says, "Mason needs to switch to C-corp soon since he's going to IPO."
17:47So, obviously, the flock league comments, absolutely brutal. Everybody's saying that Zoofa's the worst person on the planet, blah blah blah. In case you
17:54didn't read them, that's the summary.
17:57One of my favorite comments though that I read, I think Danny sent this in the chat. I could be mistaken. Somebody said, um
18:06"Did this sell to private equity?"
18:09"Everything that sells to private equity gets worse." It's like, brother, you think I was able to sell a YouTube channel with 50,000 subscribers to
18:18private equity. Now, don't get me wrong.
18:20If they come a knocking, I'll come a answering.
18:23But that is very generous.
18:25But according to the comment section, maybe we are hitting an IPO soon. So, I'll call the accountant. I'll tell him start getting our IPO papers ready.
18:33And we'll see what happens.
18:36Now, Michael Pittman Jr. goes 903.
18:41So, looking at our team, like I think we're in a good spot. We could draft a second quarterback if we really wanted
18:47to. I don't think so. I think I'd rather take another wide receiver. And I did bump Godwin a bit in my rankings with
18:52the Jalen McMillan injury update that we got. So, I'll go ahead and I'll take Godwin here in the ninth as our fourth
18:57wide receiver. So, now we have the elite tight end with Bowers. Running back is okay. It's not a good running back room,
19:05but we have Kyren Swift, Jaylen Warren as our three running backs. It's like three older, boring running backs with projectable volume. We have a stud wide
19:13receiver with Puka, high upside wide receiver two Luther Burden, some depth veteran wide receivers with Sutton and Chris Godwin, and then we have Joe
19:20Burrow quarterback. Which again, I kind of want to start prepping for my 6-point passing touchdown league, which is the flock league. So, I think I'm going to
19:27start trying to target some more of these pocket passing options.
19:31And let me see if Sammy set this the Sleeper league up as a 6-point passing touchdown league, or let
19:42me see if he set it up as a 4-point passing touchdown league. Cuz the league that we're about to do, that's the $200
19:47buy-in, is going to be free for y'all to join. I'm putting $200 in the pot.
19:50Whoever wins the league gets the 200 bucks. Um I again want to be using these as practice for my main league. And
19:57since my main league now is 6-point passing touchdowns, I want to make sure that's the same thing here. So, yes, the
20:03draft that we are about to do is going to be a 6-point passing touchdown league. So, everybody knows.
20:11Perry says, "Can you use the draft tool for online draft I mean offline draft?"
20:15So, um I would say that there are three big prongs that you can use the draft sheets with. One's the real-time draft
20:22assistance, right? Where you see me going through and using these when we're drafting in like Sleeper, ESPN, Yahoo on my computer. But this real-time draft
20:29assistance is only going to work on the computer for you. So, we about Obviously, we wanted to have the draft sheets work for you on mobile. We wanted
20:36to have the draft sheets work for you if you were completely offline as well. So, the solution to that is if you're on
20:43like your phone or maybe you don't want to use Google Chrome and don't want to use the live draft assistant, you can
20:48use the draft sheets where you can go through and manually cross off these players as they get drafted, add guys to
20:54your team. Of course, make sure you're putting in your exact platform. Make sure you're putting in your exact league settings because that will go ahead and
21:01change how these positions are getting value next to each other. Like some leagues, quarterbacks are more valuable than others. Same thing, tight end, blah
21:08blah blah. Um but anyway, you could do this on mobile. And if you wanted to go completely offline, this little download
21:15button, you click that, and it will download draft sheets for you that again are custom to your exact league settings. I'm going to take Xavier
21:22Worthy here as our last pick. But they are custom to your exact league settings, and you can print them off if
21:28you prefer to do that instead, and you can take them to your draft. So again, don't look at this and think it's crazy.
21:34This is for some very weird league settings that may not be yours. So don't think you should take these to your
21:39draft because you probably shouldn't.
21:42But let me go ahead and let's finish this draft. We get a Brandon
21:51Aubrey going here at the 10.10.
21:55And let's wait to see what the recap has as the
22:06best team in this league, the worst team in this league, etc. etc.
22:12And then I will move over to the $200 draft, and I will fill that for y'all.
22:19And again, it'll be essentially the first 11 people to click that link are going to be in that $200 draft with us,
22:25but after you do a mock draft on flockfantasy.com, you can go through and you can see how you rank. So my team
22:31here in this league ranks fourth, but if I use my rankings, which again was what I was drafting off of, I'm assuming my
22:38Yeah, my rankings actually have me ranked third. I have the seventh best quarterback room with Joe Burrow.
22:44Running back, I'm down at 11 with Kyren Williams, Warren. Wide receiver, I have the fourth best wide receiver room with Puka, Burks, and Sutton, Godwin, Worthy.
22:53And then I have the best tight end room with Brock Bowers.
22:56But not the best team in this league, but it is what it is.
23:00Now, let me move this over. I want to make sure that nobody can grab this link and type it in. And then we have a bunch of
23:09people screaming at me in the chat, so let's not do that. So again, we have 11 open spots here. I am going to be
23:16sending a link in this live chat for y'all to join this league. I will remind you how this works.
23:26There are going to be a lot of people in the chat that are trying to join at once. So most likely, you don't get in
23:32this one. Let's be real, let's call a spade a spade. Now, I am going to be doing this every single night on the
23:38live stream, so don't worry if you don't get in this one. Hopefully you get in the one tomorrow, the next day, the next
23:42day, the next day, the next day. I'll be doing this every night for y'all.
23:45But I'm going to send the link in the live chat. You will buy in $0. This is a real league that's going to go through
23:51the entire season. I am putting $200 into the pot, and whoever wins this league gets the entire $200.
23:59So, I'm going to send this link right now. It's incoming.
24:03$200 league that is sent into the chat.
24:10Now, yes. So, there is a chance, but it's the Dumb and Dumber chance. Do y'all know the meme?
24:16What would you say the chances are? One in a million. So, you're telling me there's a chance.
24:20Okay. Let me know in the chat real quick if you recognize any of these names from the drafts that we have been doing over
24:27the past few nights.
24:29I don't recognize any of them. I don't think we need to kick anybody out.
24:35But if y'all know somebody here, we'll go ahead and bounce them.
24:43MTX says you said 250 yesterday. Yes, yesterday's league was $250, my friend.
24:49And today's is 200. The days before was actually 500. It's going to be different every day.
24:55Okay. So, we got a lot of people saying Pat Mahomes is the same person. I'm going to go to the league from
25:01yesterday. Let's see what the league from yesterday has.
25:06Pat Mahomes was not in the one from yesterday. Was he in the one from the day before?
25:11Pat Mahomes was in the one the day before. Pat Mahomes, I am sorry, my friend. I hate to do this to you. I'm
25:21not You're going to be allowed one in the future, but this one probably a little too early if you were in one two
25:27days ago. I see you in the chat saying no. I am very sorry. Again, I don't want to be the bad guy here, but I do want to
25:33try to make this as fair as possible and get as many people involved as possible.
25:37You're definitely going to be allowed to join them in the future, but this may be a little bit too recent. So, I'm going
25:41to remove you from the league, and then we will immediately get somebody new in here. I guess that name is Reef of the
25:48new guy that just got in.
25:50Um So, Reef, you are in, my friend. I don't recognize your name from the past few days, but I will double-check here just
25:59to make sure.
26:01And I know y'all can see that I'm projected to lose all these. Remember, I'm not drafting kickers or defenses.
26:06We're rostering extra running backs for the time being.
26:08But anyway, I think we're good to go. I think Reef is brand new. So, let me go ahead, and let's set this day. Let's set
26:16this time. We're going to randomize the draft order. And I get nine. Feels like I'm always eight, nine, or 10 in these
26:23drafts. I would like to get some practice from somewhere else.
26:27But I thought we set the time. We'll do this again. Let's go into this draft room. We'll pull up my draft assistant.
26:34So, again, I'm going to be using the live draft assistant from flockfantasy.com.
26:39Typically, I kind of hide this in the corner because obviously the people that I'm drafting with here, um they are watching this live stream. They came
26:48from this live stream. So, I don't want them to know exactly who I plan on picking. So, I will move this over here.
26:58Payson says, "I joined on mobile, by the way. Don't give up, guys." Yeah, I saw people before the live stream started. I
27:03was having to charge my mouse, so we were sitting here a couple minutes reading the chat before we could start this live stream. I saw people in the
27:09chat going, "It's impossible to join on mobile. You can only join on desktop."
27:14What the hell are y'all talking about?
27:16People just say stuff to say stuff.
27:19People are in these drafts on mobile, they're in these these drafts on desktop.
27:24Okay.
27:26Now, let's see. Jameson off the board at the 105. So, the first five picks are pretty much
27:37the exact picks we see in every single draft. Again, I know this is what I say often, but the draft really does start
27:43at six.
27:45And this team at six, maybe it's going to auto their first pick. There's no way. Yeah, they take McCaffrey.
27:51Again, this is a real money league, so I kind of hope somebody gets here and autos a crap team so we can stomp on
27:57them. My rankings do have CD Lamb as the highest ranked player for these league settings specifically. If you are using our draft sheets for a non-PPR league,
28:07or if you're using our draft sheets for a two wide receiver one flex 10 team league, it probably won't be the wide
28:12receiver with CD Lamb, but this is a 12-team double flex full PPR league. So, with these league settings specifically, I am fine building around the wide
28:23receiver and going a little bit wide receiver heavy to start this draft off.
28:29Again, we can't completely ignore the running back position, but we have a little more flexibility with these early round picks.
28:36Okay.
28:39Now, James Cook, Chase Brown both go 112 to 201. Amari Cooper and Hampton off at the 202.
28:48I don't want to say who we have as the highest ranked player, but let me see what this team does.
29:03They go Kenneth Walker, my highest ranked player, same exact guy according to um ES I'm sorry, Sleeper ADP. I have Devon Achane here at the 204, which is
29:12one of the reasons I feel comfortable going through and taking CD Lamb at the end of round one because you know in the
29:19second round this year that you are probably going to get some pretty good values at running back in the second.
29:29So, going with Achane feels just fine.
29:33And how do I turn off these reactions?
29:37Gotta Plunder, if you keep doing these reactions, I swear you're not going to be in another draft the rest of the
29:42time.
29:43I don't need to see a turd emoji on every single pick in this draft board.
29:49Okay. A money says, "What percentage of these drafts do you normally win? 30 to 40%?" Question mark. So, here's the thing, in 12-team leagues, the expected
29:57win win rate that anybody has that's an average drafter will be about 8.3%, right? Maybe it's 8.6%. Let me just divide one by 12 real quick. No, it's
30:088.3%. Yeah, we're right.
30:11So, um a humble person would say like, "Oh, I'm better than average. I I typically win about 15% of them, right?
30:19I have a win rate that's almost double what the average is."
30:26But, in my experience, what I'm expecting to win with these leagues this next year, I would say is anywhere from 95% to
30:35100%.
30:42And if you got something to say about that, join my next draft.
30:49Obviously, I'm joking. Okay.
30:51But, let's go ahead and see the best value that I have on the board
30:59right now is Nico, which is different than the Sleeper ADP. The Sleeper ADP has McBride, but Nico goes here at the
31:07212, then Malik Nabers at the 301.
31:14Okay.
31:20Beast what's his question in Flock Fantasy? Can I join any random 12 mans for money? Like I just like I just said,
31:26my friend.
31:28I've I've explained that process to get into these leagues a thousand times. You click the link in the chat.
31:35But, um Alex says, "Where's the live draft assistant on the website?" So, if you got the season pass, if you go to the
31:42draft sheets page, you can go ahead and hit this get the overlay tool, and it will go ahead and download the live draft assistant um to
31:52Google Chrome for you, and then you can open the extension and use it as you draft.
31:57So, just it's on the draft sheets page on flockfantasy.com. Just go to the top.
32:05Okay.
32:11Now, Olave 303.
32:14For us, when we start wide receiver running back, what I do like is we're not really stressing about anything here in the third.
32:23Okay.
32:26Uh Breece 304.
32:31Jacobs did get banged up as well. We don't I It doesn't seem that concerning, very similar to Waddle. Like really the
32:38only concerning injury from today, from what I've read, appears to be Jaylen McMillan. Which again, I don't necessarily think you were drafting
32:45McMillan in any format other than Best Ball, but if he does have a serious injury to somewhat serious injury, it does impact where you rank Godwin and
32:52Egbuka.
32:56Okay.
33:04Finley says, "Do you follow Vegas lines at all in your rankings? I know McBride is valued higher than Bowers." I will
33:09double check that. We have sports book data posted on flockfantasy.com, but Okay.
33:19Egbuka off of the 308.
33:26My sheets have it as Kyren Williams. ADP has it as Jacobs.
33:35So, we're going to go ahead and we're going to take Kyren here at the 309.
33:45Okay.
33:49Flowers goes 312.
34:06Josh Allen 311. When we start with Achane and Kyren, let me just see what it has.
34:19Okay.
34:21Lad 401. I'm sorry. I'm all over the place right now. I'm just trying to figure out what we want to do with this
34:25next pick.
34:29I think there are two guys that I'm going to be looking at.
34:32Again, I had moved Ebuka up our rankings with the Mcmillan stuff, but Ebuka already gone at the 308.
34:48Mcmillan goes here at the 402. I wanted Mcmillan. Sadly, we don't get him.
35:02Waddle goes. We actually get the guy we wanted then. Um Tee Higgins has been the highest ranked player on my draft sheets
35:08for a little bit. Sleeper ADP has it as Bucky Irving, but we're going to take Tee Higgins as our second wide receiver.
35:14So now we have Lamb Higgins at wide receiver and we have Achane Kyren at running back. I love this start, especially for these league settings,
35:20full PPR, double flex.
35:23Like I really like this situation.
35:26Okay.
35:28Now, I see people still saying season pass.
35:31I'll remind y'all, if you have not done so already, not too late to enter in to win the free flockfantasy.com season
35:36pass. All you got to do is drop a like on the stream and then type the word season pass into the live chat. You do
35:43those two things and you are set up to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass.
35:50Okay, Bucky Irving off the board at the 407.
35:54Davante Adams 408.
35:59And it is interesting seeing Bucky Irving just go significantly higher than like in these redraft leagues than where he was going in best ball. I guess maybe
36:08we have fewer concerns of the injury stuff now that he is in camp and that is worth noting.
36:21Um stink rats says can tell football's coming as the viewers keep going up. So, believe it or not, I'm going to be
36:27honest with you, I don't like So, back whenever I first started doing this as a job, as you can imagine, whenever I started doing this, never
36:35thought in a million years this could ever be a job. Jobs like this didn't exist, right? I was just doing it for
36:40fun for years.
36:41And then once it started making a little bit of money from it, was like senior year of college. So, it was like, I'm about
36:47to have to go to medical school or get a real grown uh big boy job.
36:52Took the leap. I was like, I think I can make this a real thing. I can I think I can make this a real job.
36:57And I did that in like 2021. I had started live streaming every day in 2020.
37:02So, 2021 and 2022, when I was stressed every single day, like, can it be a real job or can't it be a
37:11real job?
37:12I looked at the views nonstop. Like, if you've ever uploaded a YouTube video, there's something called YouTube Studio, where it will tell you all the
37:20analytics, like, oh, this was your best video over the past 10, or oh, this was your worst video over the past 10. And I
37:26stressed about it to no end, because it was like, I don't know if I'm going to like this is my livelihood. I'm trying to make
37:33this a thing, you know? I'm trying to make this a job. And I was super stressed on if I was going to be able to
37:37do it or not, how things were going to go, blah blah blah.
37:40Um but now that it's like, oh, okay, I'm pretty established, I don't have to worry about it going away, at least in the short term.
37:49Obviously, YouTube doesn't last forever.
37:52Like, but I feel pretty confident that I'll at least be able to do this for like the next 3 years.
37:56I don't look at the views really anymore at all.
38:03But But back in like 2021, 2022, dear god, like, I had to I when I was living in Tampa, I deleted a leak
38:12YouTube Studio off my phone, because like, my mental health was in the gutter. I was like, I would upload a video, and if it was like, even if it
38:22was if it was like the best video I'd uploaded in a week and it was getting a ton of views I'd be like, "Okay, cool.
38:28Thank God. I can take a breather."
38:30Like but I wouldn't even be like celebrating. I'd just be like, "Okay, I can breathe."
38:34And then if it was bad I'd be like, "My day's ruined. My life's ruined. This is This is going to This is horrible." So,
38:39I'd delete it from my phone cuz it was so bad but that was like 5 years ago.
38:44Definitely come a long way since then.
38:45Feel much much better.
38:47Uh B Marlo says, "Follower since 2020.
38:49Crazy to see the growth. Hard work pays off." Appreciate you, my friend. Thank you so much for sticking with me, my friend.
38:57Chat says, "Mason, I'm in healthcare.
38:58What kind of doctor were you thinking about?" So, I'm sure y'all have noticed I have like a I have my hair is longer
39:04right now so you can't really see it. I have a really bad scar that goes from like here, wraps around here. Doesn't
39:10help the hairline. You can see the scar like right here, you know. Um but so I had brain surgery when I was
39:17like 1 or 2 years old. Super big deal.
39:20Life-changing. Had to go in every year, see the neurosurgeon. Um get cat scans, blah blah blah.
39:27Um ended up having to have surgery again when I was in high school, yada yada yada. So, I talked about like growing up
39:33all the time like, "Oh, I want to be a neurosurgeon."
39:36So, like from the time I was like 4 years old, that's what I always said.
39:39Now, did I actually want to be that or did I say that once and then got a good reaction from my parents and people
39:43around me and I was like, "Oh, I guess that's a good idea. I guess that's what I should be." Who knows?
39:48But that's what I said forever.
39:51The real God honest truth is I probably wasn't smart enough to be that or I definitely wasn't smart enough to be
39:57that. But six-point passing touchdown format, what's the deal with Lamar?
40:0541 passing touchdowns 2 years ago. We're going Lamar Jackson in a six-point passing TD league. He's the highest-ranked player for my draft
40:12sheets here. Double flex league so quarterback's not as as important.
40:16Obviously, Lamar gives you a ton of rushing as well, but we've seen the passing touchdowns be there for Lamar Jackson.
40:25Okay.
40:26But, yeah, anyway, with the neurosurgeon stuff, I want to be very clear.
40:31Well, maybe I said that for my entire life. Let's be real and let's be honest with each other.
40:37I probably couldn't have done it, right?
40:41If I could have, I probably would have.
40:45But, def- probably not smart enough.
40:48Definitely in college when I should have been working extremely hard.
40:53Like, I just I just got so freaking lucky. Y'all have no idea. Like, in those classes when I should have been
40:59studying, preparing, learning the stuff that I would have needed for the MCAT, I swear to God every single day in college, I was listening to Dynasty
41:08Fantasy Football podcast. I was on myfantasyleague.com cycling through my 20 different dynasty teams, sending out trades. I would literally be over the summer in like
41:19operating rooms, like shadowing a surgeon, supposed to be watching a surgery, in the corner on a chair, on my phone in a dynasty startup draft. I have
41:28these vivid vivid memories about this.
41:32And I should have absolutely screwed my future and it should have ruined me being stupid and doing that in college instead of learning and working
41:42hard and doing what I should have done.
41:44But, I just got lucky beyond belief that this turned out to be my job. Um now, what I did not get lucky beyond belief
41:51with is Jameson Williams going at the 6.03. Now, my highest ranked player for these formats are Daniels and Burrow, but we can't take any of those guys. So,
41:59instead, we're going to reach dramatically. My next highest ranked player is going to be Jordan Tyson. Do I think Jordan Tyson is in the same tier
42:07as Jameson Williams? No, I don't. I would have much preferred Jamo. Getting Jameson Williams in the sixth in a full PPR double flex league is absolutely
42:16incredible. That team at 10 does look really good.
42:20But yeah, we're not able to take advantage. I'm not able to take him. He gets sniped from us. So, my next best
42:25will be Tyson. Again, I actually do have the quarterbacks ranked ahead of Jordan Tyson here, especially with it being a six-point passing touchdown format. But,
42:32when we already have Lamar, there's no world in which I'm taking a second quarterback of note here in round six.
42:38And trying to trade one of them, right? I've seen that attempted by so many people over the years. And what happens every single
42:49time is your league mates are smart, especially at the quarterback position or the tight end position where it you can always go to the waiver wire and get
42:55one. Like, hypothetically, if I go like, "Oh, okay. Jayden Daniels is my highest ranked player here. Let me take Jayden Daniels."
43:03Then, one week before the season, I throw Lamar and Jayden Daniels on the trade block and go, "Hey, I'm looking to
43:07sell a quarterback. It looks like you need one."
43:10Person I try to trade with would look at the fact that I have Lamar and Jayden Daniels and try to offer me 75 cents on
43:15the dollar.
43:16All right, it's just not going to work.
43:17When you have Lamar, don't take another quarterback.
43:20Spice and Dice says, "What did Mrs.
43:22Flock think about early YouTube?"
43:24So, I started dating Mrs. Flock um be while I was doing YouTube at the time
43:38I was dating Mrs. Flock, but I hadn't started live streaming or making a penny from it.
43:45All she knew is I recorded dynasty fantasy football videos in my closet, you know?
43:52And I did that for years and years.
43:55And like was I mean, she was supportive, right? It's not like she was telling me, "Hey, you're wasting your time. Don't do
44:03this." But, very similar to like my ultra marathon stuff or like my Iron Man stuff now which I would consider like
44:09that's my hobby, right? Like my hobby would be like doing like endurance events, ultra marathons, Ironmans, whatever it is.
44:16Like she's she's supportive, she's going to show up to the races, she's going to let me talk about it, yada yada yada.
44:21But it's not her thing, you know, it's not something that she's into. So very similar like to that's how YouTube was. It was just
44:29like a hobby that I did every day for a couple hours.
44:35Okay.
44:38Now interesting to see Josh Downs here at the 612. Josh Downs at the 612 and RJ Harvey at the 602
44:48is a crazy draft. Now I will say if you are going to reach on a player, right?
44:54You're like, "Hey, Josh Downs is my guy.
44:57RJ Harvey is my guy."
45:00Where does it make the most sense to reach on them?
45:03At the turn.
45:04At the very beginning of a round because like hypothetically RJ Harvey's your guy, you know you want him.
45:11You have 23 picks by the time you're back up on the clock at the 711.
45:16Or Josh Downs is your guy, you have 24 picks by the time you're back up on the clock at the 812. So if you're ever
45:22going to reach dramatically on a player like that, I will understand it more if you are doing so from like an extreme
45:30side of the board. But like if you're reaching 20 picks according to ADP when you're in the dead smack middle of the
45:36board, there it's less understandable, but these teams where they reached, they are on the ends. So if they really want their guys and they're like, "Hey,
45:45I believe Josh Downs going to be the reason why I win 200 bucks." Go for it.
45:48Just for me, I probably would have taken Jayden Daniels instead.
45:54BK2 Brandon says Lumberjack over Zufall.
45:57#justiceforlumberjack.
46:00Now let me move over.
46:04Teresa says, "Remember when Mrs. Flock drafted a team on stream? Pure gold." I appreciate you hanging out with us in that live stream, Teresa. And yes, I
46:11woke up Mrs. Flock at like 3:00 in the morning and told her, "Hey, you got to go draft a fantasy team with
46:18me."
46:20Jayden Daniels 708 in a 6-point passing touchdown format, that is absolutely incredible. Now, this is a double flex full PPR league, right? So, I am able to
46:30start four wide receivers. If I look at my highest ranked player for these league settings that's remaining, it is going to be DK Metcalf. I don't know
46:38where Sleeper ADP has him. They actually have him behind Harold Landry and Kyle Pitts, so he's not that buried in Sleeper ADP, but we'll take him here at
46:47the 709.
46:49Um I wouldn't fault anybody at all for saying like, "Hey, Metcalf limited ceiling, yada yada yada." But, the man just prints like top 24, top 25 wide
46:57receiver seasons. So, in a double flex league, getting him as a wide receiver four, I feel pretty confident that we're going to be able to start him. Now, do I
47:05know if he has a crazy high ceiling? Uh probably not. Offense is probably bad.
47:09Quarterback play is probably bad.
47:10Metcalf's not an elite talent in his own right.
47:14But, we're cool taking him here at the 709.
47:20Gotti streams says, "What was the best Hall of Fame game ever?" So, the best Hall of Fame game ever was the game in
47:27which Josh Jacobs played. Because if y'all remember, that season, I had already made Josh Jacobs my stance in fantasy football. That was the year that
47:38everybody was talking about the dead zone running back that you can't take running backs early, blah blah blah.
47:44And I had made Josh Jacobs my most drafted player, and he was going in like the fifth round.
47:50And then what happened was Josh Jacobs played in the Hall of Fame game. Every single person lost their mind.
47:57They were talking about like Who was it at the time? Zamir White being the starting running back for the Raiders at
48:03that point. And Jacobs fell down to being like an eighth round pick.
48:07And then I was able to just go all in and I won like $150,000 that year.
48:14So, that was my favorite Hall of Fame game ever. What kind of propelled me to winning 150k? People overreacting to the
48:21fact that Josh Jacobs suited up and played a drive.
48:25But um in terms of action-wise, I wouldn't have a good answer for you. Now, my rankings have Caleb Williams the highest
48:34ranked player. I can't take him though.
48:36Um y'all are going to hate this next pick of mine cuz I'm going to scroll way down ADP and I'm going to reach
48:42significantly on somebody, but I'm going to be taking Jordan Addison at the 804.
48:49Again, fifth wide receiver with this build, which if it's a two wide receiver one flex league, what you should probably do instead is take a tight end
48:56like Kyle Pitts. But in a league in which it's a full PPR format and I can start four wide receivers weekly, I'm
49:01cool taking Addison.
49:04Okay.
49:09Now, let me move this over.
49:14Red says AI says Mason Dodd won $2 million in July 2025 on Underdog Fantasy.
49:21I don't know if that's true that AI says that, but if so, um
49:38You know what? It may or may not have something to do with the fact that I've spent the last month figuring out how to run AI bots to feed
49:47into the AI algorithms that Mason Dodd is the best fantasy football player this planet's ever seen.
49:54He has won every fantasy football tournament that's ever been launched, and he has a 100% win rate in all of his
49:59leagues.
50:01So, maybe my bots feeding the other AI bots that information.
50:06It's finally come to fruition. The my fruits are finally being harvested, and they are finally preaching the gospel as intended.
50:20Okay.
50:22Now, Kyler Murray and Guy Yes. I spent Here's the deal. I told Avery, I went, "Hey, Avery, man.
50:31I know your parents just gave you $50 million. Don't lie to me."
50:35And Avery said, "Damn, how did you find that out?" And I said, "Hey, man, the YouTube comment section told me, but no
50:39problem. I'm going to keep this a secret between you and me.
50:43I need a million."
50:45He said, "Is that what it's going to take to buy you off?" I said, "Yes, it's what it's going to take."
50:50He gave me that million, and I spent it on AI bots to train AI to default to whatever fantasy football question is asked of it
51:02to Mason Dodd knows the answer, go to his live stream and ask him.
51:06So, hopefully, it will pay back in dividends, but it's too early to tell.
51:11Now, 809 Caleb Williams is insane.
51:15Again, I feel bad about taking Lamar.
51:18Dak at the 812 in a 6-point passing touchdown format is pretty damn good pick as well.
51:25Okay.
51:28Kevin says, "Did Jayden move up at all after the Diggs signing?" Yes, I actually talked about that in the video yesterday. I moved Jayden Daniels up my
51:34rankings. I think Jayden Daniels here at the 708 is incredible value.
51:38Like, if Daniels would have made it to me at the 709, I would have felt so damn bad about our Lamar Jackson pick.
51:48Okay.
51:54Fuji says Mason sacrificed a million for the data centers. Now we have no bees for Paul's pollen is pollination and honey.
52:02As you can see me try to read the word pollination, you understand that I truly was not smart enough to be a doctor.
52:09Okay, we're about to be on the clock again.
52:13We are currently just sitting with H and Kyren at running back.
52:21I don't want to say who my highest ranked player is because I actually think we could I mean my two highest
52:27ranked players are so far down and oh no, never mind. That was stupid. My page was accidentally just scrolled down itself. So they my two players aren't
52:35that far down in ADP as I thought.
52:39Um I guess one of them is. Where the hell's Rashad White? Rashad White has an ADP of 128 on Sleeper.
52:47I'm going to take him here at the 909.
52:49If anything, I feel like this is cheaper than where Rashad White typically goes and we just get the like he goes after
52:57Jacquory Cross Kamara. I think this is just a good example of Sleeper ADP burying somebody. So if you're drafting against people that don't have their own
53:05rankings list, don't have their own draft sheets that they pull up to the draft with, um you may be able to find them at a
53:11pretty damn good value at the 910 turn.
53:15Okay.
53:19Teresa says no Zoofa hate in here, guys.
53:21Hey, this is a Zoofa you're allowed to hate on Zoofa.
53:27I appreciate it, Teresa, but I want to be very clear.
53:34You are allowed to do all the hate on Zoofa you want. Here, Flockly comment section, Discord, Reddit, Twitter, hate away. If you hate the guy,
53:45let him know.
53:47Let him know why you hate him.
53:50Let him know you Yeah, hate his looks, you hate his humor. Let him know every little detail that you hate about him.
53:58So, my next highest ranked player is the same guy It was actually back-to-back Rashad White, then this other character that we're probably going to be able to
54:05take in the 10th. Mahomes goes, so we are going to take my next highest ranked guy. Um Sleeper ADP has Dart Gadson
54:13Kincaid, but I have George Kittle. So, we're going to take George Kittle here at the 10.04. I like Kittle more in a
54:19league in which you have the IR slot, where we can go through, draft another tight end, and throw Kittle in the IR if
54:24he misses the beginning of the season coming back from the torn Achilles.
54:29Okay.
54:31Roman says Zufall wishes he was lumberjack.
54:35I bet right about now he does wish that.
54:40Mitch says White over Brooks is crazy.
54:42Um I know Jonathan Brooks obviously has all the steam in the world, and a lot of people are projecting out Jonathan
54:47Brooks to be the starting running back for Carolina, but I don't know. It's so tough for me to
54:58bet on a running back that hasn't played a real game of football since 2023.
55:08Now, Fuji says I'm happy for Zufall, but these 8 to 14-year-olds better show up to these flock league videos.
55:15Let's be very clear here with the Zufall stuff.
55:22We did not vote Zufall in because he will be bringing any audience to the flock league videos.
55:30He live streamed tonight and had like 80 concurrent viewers, and we have like 2,000 in this live stream.
55:39Zoofa will be bringing about zero new subscribers to the Flock League channel. The reason why I put him at the top of my rankings to vote him in
55:51and why to assume other creators all put him pretty high as well is because I think he is going to be the
55:57best at making clips. I think he's going to be very entertaining.
56:04And I think he's going to help us make the best videos. I don't think he's going to be bringing any established
56:08audience over. Same thing with Rome.
56:12I don't think Rome's bringing people over.
56:15But I think Rome's out of the people who auditioned the most talented person at making clips and being entertaining. You know.
56:25So.
56:28Uh I'm not ba- down banking on any either of them going like, "Hey, for you to you got in here because we need your
56:37audience."
56:38They're not bringing really many people over, but they're super talented, super entertaining, seem like great guys. I think they'll be able
56:46to help make the best videos.
56:52And we do have Zoofa out here. Yeah, yeah, Zoofa I was telling them they're allowed to hate on you. I'm sorry, but
56:57it's okay. I get the hate as well. I hate Mason Dodd.
57:01Okay.
57:04Now.
57:06Let's see Al Zeer off at the 11:04.
57:11And at this point our team is so balanced. Like we're going to take a second tight end having Kittle here.
57:17We're going to need a couple more running backs only having H and Kyren and Rashad White, but I mean y'all have
57:22seen me over the past few drafts.
57:24What I typically like to do is I typically want to go running back, running back, running back, ignore kicker and defense, and see if we get an
57:33injury before the season starts right and see if we can just hit on a big time way with one of these late round picks
57:39cuz these late round guys are going to be players that we end up cutting anyway.
57:45Okay.
57:49I did says you would have gotten only gotten a new audience of Jinx joint if okay so like if Jinx Ludwig anybody like that that's like
57:59they live stream and they have 10,000 20,000 people watching them.
58:05Okay, I'm okay dear God my rankings have somebody that's so damn we have two guys at the top of my rankings here. We have Jake Ferguson and
58:15then another player that is so far down that's um I'm almost certain that we're going to
58:26be able to get them back around at the 12:04. My hesitation in taking Jake Ferg though is there like a lot of tight ends
58:33in this tier that I feel like we can get another tight end of the 12:04 but the other guy that I would take if we didn't
58:38take Jake Ferguson is almost guaranteed to be available to us in the 12. So we're going to go Jake Ferguson here.
58:46Salty spring says Austin Eckler would have been cool. Yeah, I reached out to Austin Eckler to ask him if you wanted
58:52in. The people that I reached out to and I shot DMs to and I was like hey you don't have to audition.
58:58um like you would just be incredible cuz what we did if y'all remember we had one dedicated fan spot and then we had the
59:04wild card spot. We were only supposed to give one spot away to the fan auditions.
59:09And the people oh Chris Rodriguez is who I actually wanted I feel like an idiot.
59:14I thought we were going to be able to game the system with him being rounds lower in the sleeper ADP than he was in
59:21our rankings. I thought we were going to get Chris Rodriguez in the 12.
59:27That is freaking brutal.
59:34Okay, Brian Robinson goes >> [sighs] >> I'm going to take Jonah Coleman with the positive blurbs that we have coming out,
59:44but this is probably just a tilt pick where we wanted Chris Rodriguez and sadly didn't get him.
59:50But yeah, the people that are reached out to for the flock league that I was like they would bring like something
59:55completely different and they don't need to audition. And of course, we didn't get any of them, which is why we're here. I tried to get Ryan Trahan in,
60:02which I got a meeting with him. Super cool that I got to talk to him, pitched him, blah blah blah. Sadly didn't get
60:08him. All love, super nice guy.
60:11Really wanted him, but that would have been insane. Like if we would have got Ryan Trahan, it's like, hey, game over. He's bringing some He's
60:17bringing a massive audience. He's like 23 million subscribers.
60:22We I reached out to Lovable Wig, ghosted, no response. Jynx ghosted, no response. Sketch ghosted, no response.
60:30MMG who said he couldn't travel during that period, completely understands. He was very, very nice in his response, really appreciate him.
60:39And I reached out to Matthew Berry.
60:42He said he didn't have the time for it, really nice. Appreciate him responding.
60:47I reached out to Austin Ekeler, who I had open DMs with because he had DM'd me trying to get me to promote something
60:52one time.
60:53And ghosted, didn't respond.
60:57But those are the people that I reached out to for the flock league that I was like, "Hey, you don't even have to
61:02audition. You're just in with that wild card spot."
61:07And we struck out, so we decided to give the second spot away to the fan audition vote.
61:16Cuz again, we were only supposed to have one person from the fan auditions, which if it would have played out that way,
61:21that one person would have been Realm.
61:29Now, we have Boston off at the 12:11.
61:32Bigsby goes 12:12. I probably need to be mixing in Bigsby in some of these.
61:39Like very similar thought process with Bigsby that you have with the other handcuff running backs, right? It's literally just I mean, Bigsby's a more compelling
61:47version of it though, just because the Philadelphia Eagles are a better offense.
61:53Okay, Houston goes to the 13:01 elite defense, very similar to the Rams, but again, I I really am starting to just
62:00like the idea of these last few rounds, every single draft, taking three to four running backs, hoping that one ends up
62:09hitting, knowing that we're just going to end up cutting the other two guys for a kicker and a defense right before
62:15the season starts, but those kickers and defenses we're going to cycle through the entire season anyway.
62:23Teresa says, "You didn't want me in cuz I would beat y'all." Teresa, you did not do I tried to get you out of to
62:28audition, Teresa. I wanted it.
62:31Um No.
62:39Omar goes 13:04.
62:45Britain Strange 13:05.
62:49Connor says, "I really like Bigsby.
62:50There's also been positive news of his camp usage."
62:54Yeah, and again, good like Barkley's an older running back, 30 years old, has had a lot of touches in his career, has had an injury history.
63:03It's a good offense.
63:06It's not like Bigsby's proven that he's for sure a stud or anything, but who knows? It'd be a really good situation to be stepping into.
63:19>> Okay.
63:21Cardo says, "Mason, you should have asked Speed. That would have been something crazy." See, that would have been impossible. The only reason Here's
63:27how I came up with that list of people to ask.
63:30Ryan Trahan had I had DM'd him on Instagram back and forth before cuz he watches the channel.
63:37Jynxzi I know watches the channel.
63:42Um let me see my highest ranked players.
63:45Again, we're just taking shots on running backs.
63:50We'll take Mike Washington handcuffed to Ashton Jeanty. We're just going to take three of these guys at the end.
63:56Um Sketch Football Creator, right? MMG Football Creator. Ludwig, he had done the like um he had hosted like a live streamer
64:06fantasy football league last year, which hopefully he does that again this year because um all those like super popular mainstream I mean, mainstream like live
64:15streamers.
64:17Um them doing like a fantasy football league together, even if it's just the draft and they don't follow through with it the rest of the year, it still does
64:23grow fantasy football and helps out a ton. So, really appreciate him doing that last year. Obviously, I'm not involved at all, but it helps fantasy
64:30football, which I mean, at this point, I just want to help fantasy football any way that I can.
64:36But, that's the reason I came up with that list. Like obviously, if you were looking at like internet impact, like
64:46using Jynxzi as an example. Jynxzi is an elephant and I am an ant. Same thing with Speed. Speed is an elephant, I am
64:54an ant.
64:56Like there's no way in hell an elephant should even look at an ant.
65:00But, the reason I thought it was possible to get Jynxzi is cuz he watches the channel, right? So, I was like, "Wait,
65:07wait, we got somewhat of an in there. We got somewhat of an in."
65:12Now, wide receiver Jordan Tyson's our wide receiver five. Let me see, are there any other wide receivers you'd be interested in taking? Not really.
65:21Again, these last two rounds are probably just going to end up cutting these players for kicker and a defense anyway. So, I'm just going to continue
65:27to go with these backup running backs.
65:30I'm going to take Black here. I mean, sleeper ADP has him at 2,500, but I think he can be the straight-up
65:37backup to Christian McCaffrey.
65:40Okay.
65:41Let me move this down and ooh, I need to switch this thing around. It is frozen.
65:51Okay.
65:58Now, let's pull this down. Um John says Tom Grossi would have been pretty sick.
66:03I actually forgot I did reach out to him as well.
66:07See, live streams and he has like 5,000 concurrent.
66:10Like he is crazy big.
66:13But it is like funny. Again, I want to reiterate.
66:18I think Grooman Zuffer are going to kill it for the Flock League because I think they are super entertaining individuals.
66:25Seem great, but the reason we voted him them in isn't cuz like we're expecting Zuffer to bring a bunch of 15-year-olds watch a channel.
66:35So, I think he's going to be the best person at making clips.
66:40But um Yeah, but those other people like Jynxzi, like if we would have got Jynxzi, it's like, hey, this is a
66:49complete game changer. 90% of the people watching the videos all of a sudden are going to be Jynxzi fans.
66:55But let me get ready to give away the free flockfantasy.com season pass.
67:05Um if y'all not done so already and you want to enter, all you got to do is drop a like on the stream and then type the
67:13word season pass into the live chat.
67:18You do those two things, you'll be entered into win a flockfantasy.com season pass and we will give that away in 1 seconds.
67:26And I'll remind y'all, if you haven't already, make sure you subscribe to the channel. I mean, we're going to be doing
67:30this every single night until the season starts.
67:35And we do 200 $200 drafts, $500 drafts.
67:42Um, last night it was 250.
67:44Cedric, etc. And then we also give away the free season pass every single night as well.
67:50But let me go over to Wheel of Names.
67:54And yeah, let's give away this free season pass.
68:00Copy.
68:02Paste. Click to spin.
68:05Let's see who the winner. I think the winner yesterday was Kenny Powers.
68:10Let's see who the winner today is.
68:14Sam the Snake TTV. Sam the Snake TTV, if you are in the live chat, please let me know what your flockfantasy.com username
68:23is so I can go ahead and hook you up.
68:26And the other thing that I will point out is, of course, um, if you haven't already, make sure, if you want to win your league, get the
68:35flockfantasy.com season pass. Gets you access to the real-time draft assistance, gets you access to the custom draft sheets that are tailored to
68:43your exact league settings, um, and your exact draft platform.
68:50And um, I'm confused cuz it's Jack Clark is
69:00looking like he wants to get muted.
69:02But, anyway, get you access to the season pass, draft assistance, draft sheets, rankings throughout the entire year,
69:11trade calculator, rankings page, my teams page. It's 34 bucks, not $34 a month, but $34 for the entire season.
69:20Links in the chat, links in the description comment section. Use code flock and you will get set up with free questions
69:27during the stream.
69:31Okay.
69:33Now, let me see if we have Sam the Snake in the chat. And again, I think what our plan is going to be here
69:45is most likely to take a running back.
69:47If there's a defense that I absolutely love, we'll mix in that defense here in the last round. And actually, yeah, we
69:53do get that option. I've already drafted six running backs with Coleman, Mike Washington, Galen Black. These are just long shots, but we do get the ability to
70:01take the Chargers, which get to play the Arizona Cardinals week one, which I think is the best match up you can have
70:06for this team. So, I will take the Chargers here in the last round cuz I do think it's a really good defense.
70:12But, I think that's all I have for this stream. I really appreciate y'all hanging out with us. I'll be live tomorrow, the next day, the next day,
70:21the next day. I hope that you're there.
70:23I hope you hop in the draft. Much love.
70:26And yeah, I hope I get to see you in the live stream tomorrow night.
