Episode Transcript

0:00This Yahoo fantasy football draft literally just started. Bijan went one, Jahmyr Gibbs went two. I'm going to be picking at six. Now, this is going to be
0:10a league in which you start one quarterback, two wide receivers, two running backs, one tight end, as well as one flex. Now, we do have the live draft
0:17assistant for Yahoo fantasy. That's already live. We'll be using some of this. And also, I want to be going through and testing out our draft sheets
0:25as well. Our draft sheets are custom for these exact league settings here. We filled that out on flockfantasy.com. And then we also went through and
0:34um pulled in the Yahoo ADP, averaged it out with my rankings, and we have this list that we can go off of. So, once we
0:40see Bijan, Gibbs, Ja'Marr Chase all off the board, I'm going to cross them off on my draft sheets. We'll follow along
0:46here, and we'll see who's the best available at pick six. And yeah, we have a lot that we can look at. Um after
0:53Chase goes, Puka Nacua's off. So, right now, the highest graded player according to the experts is going to be sitting with JaySZN.
1:01Um and you can actually see this with the emojis down here. I um Domain, Zach, we all have JaySZN as the highest ranked
1:08player. FSE has that name as Christian McCaffrey. Nobody has it as Amon-Ra St.
1:14Brown at this point, at least on flockfantasy.com with the draft assistant for these league settings. Um we'll see what Ethan does. Again, we're
1:21going to be on the clock in one pick. He goes Jackson Smith-Njigba. So, one thing that's going to be interesting is if you
1:27are looking at just my straight-up rankings, while I do have Amon-Ra St.
1:31Brown ahead of him. Because we want to take into account the draft platform that we're playing on, we are going to
1:37be combining this with the Yahoo ADP to make sure that we can stay balanced here with positional values. So, we're going
1:42to take Christian McCaffrey here. Um and let me go over I don't even know how to make these picks on Yahoo. Okay,
1:49perfect. We take CMC at pick six. Again, even if Amon-Ra's the highest ranked player for me, we definitely want to make sure that we are balancing this,
1:58knowing that we can get wide receiver values later in these Yahoo drafts. I don't know if you all have had the
2:04opportunity to check the ADPs, but KM is already letting us know that Josh Allen has an ADP of like the beginning of the
2:11second round in Yahoo drafts. Obviously, depending on the draft platform that you're playing on, you should expect the ADPs to be pretty different, and I do
2:21think you should be adjusting your positional values because of so. So, we actually did also just launch on flockfantasy.com that ADP sheet page,
2:30where this is going to be able to help you a ton. So, you can go over and pull up the consensus ADP on
2:34flockfantasy.com. We have the expert average ranks on flock fantasy. We have Sleeper, ESPN, Yahoo, Underdog, CBS, FFPC all loaded in. We have an average
2:43ADP. You can see what players are way too high on Yahoo, like CeeDee Lamb is surprisingly high on Ya- Yahoo. You have
2:49like uh Brock Bowers higher on Yahoo than anywhere else. And yeah, Josh Allen has an ADP of 17 on Yahoo, even though
2:56he has an average ADP of 28 across all platforms. So, we're going to keep into account what the ADP is for some of these names as we
3:05go through and draft, rather than just going off of my rankings. And here, Jonathan Taylor makes it all the way down to the 201 in this draft. Super
3:14crazy to see that kind of fall. Like, you had Amari Cooper off at 10. You had Saquon Barkley off at nine. Um
3:22yeah, this this is insane.
3:25Now, let's move this over. Zaylon says, "I feel like this year though, the ADPs across the sites have been more volatile
3:31than ever." Which again, is why we are creating those custom draft sheets, so you can use them for the exact platform
3:38that you're playing on. Cuz if one platform has running backs going way higher than another one, uh maybe you need to go through and take that running
3:45back with Christian McCaffrey instead of Amon-Ra St. Brown, right? And then I will say also, the draft sheets are going to make the adjustments. Like, if
3:50you're playing in a league where you maybe have two flex spots rather than one, um there you can justify going with
3:56the receiver. Um but here, if it's only a league where you start two wide receivers and one flex, so you can only
4:02start three wide receivers the very most, in that instance, again, I do think you want to be pushing up the running backs like we saw here with
4:09McCaffrey.
4:10Now, I've actually been lazy. I've not been marking these sheets off on the site. So, let me go ahead and make sure
4:16I catch up with that. Um we are on the clock real quick. You can see my rankings have Chase Brown as the
4:22highest-ranked player, and that is the same way with all the other experts on the site at this point. If we go over
4:27and look at who the highest-ranked player is for Yahoo, it is going to be Drake London. But no, I think we listen
4:33to our rankings here. We're going to go ahead. We are going to take Chase Brown.
4:36This is going to be a running back running back start, and honestly, I think we're going to be put in a pretty
4:40good position because of this, having Christian McCaffrey and Chase Brown through the first two rounds.
4:45Now, we are going to be on the clock again in 10 picks. So, 10 picks, we should be able to access some running
4:51back upside.
4:53But let's go through and let me mark off all the players that have already gone.
4:59Now, um Zylon says, "I'm playing the draft sheets now that you have on the site.
5:03Love the addition. How do I get to show all the different apps?" That's going to be the ADP um tab on flockfantasy.com
5:10right ahead of the draft sheet. So, if you're on the draft sheets here, you just go one up, which is ADP, and that
5:14will show everything there, my friend.
5:17Um Drake London off the board at 2.08.
5:19Let me make sure I mark him off of the draft sheets, and you'll see the draft assistant automatically updating all this as well.
5:25Um and I'll remind y'all, of course, if y'all wanted to get access to all these draft sheets for your exact league
5:29format, for your exact league settings, and get the real-time draft assistance with everything as well, um it's all on flockfantasy.com. The season pass is
5:37still live for only $34 at this point.
5:40It syncs with your Yahoo league, your Sleeper league, your ESPN league, whatever you're playing on, we have it set up for you. And yeah, if you use
5:48code flock when you sign up, you're actually going to get free questions that you can ask me during the season on
5:52the live streams as well with free start sit and with free trade question vouchers. The link to flockfantasy.com is always in the description. It's
5:59always in the comment section. In my opinion, it's by far and away, not even really close, the number one way that
6:05you can win your league this year. And at the same time, it's at the lowest cost of pretty much any product you're
6:10going to find in fantasy football. So, we've worked on this for years and years and years. We have a ton of super
6:17valuable creators. And yeah, really proud of all the work the devs have been able to put together. And we're only going to be improving the tools as time
6:25goes on in the future. So, Josh Allen does indeed finally go off the board here in round three. If you're looking
6:31at my rankings, I have a ton of wide receivers that are available. We have Rashee Rice, DeVonta Smith, Chris Olave.
6:37Like a ton of these names stand out as guys that we could be taking in round three. And again, when we start running
6:42back running back, you'll actually see according to the draft assistant, we are already far ahead of where we need to be
6:48at running back by round three. We are falling behind at wide receiver though.
6:52So, wide receiver is going to be a need with this third pick. So, Neighbors is off the board at the 305. If we look at
6:58Yahoo rankings, they have Chris Olave as the highest ranked player. If we were looking at experts on the site, um Domain agrees with that. Domain has
7:06Olave up there. However, Fantasy Stock Exchange, myself, and Fantasy Land, we all have Rice. So, I'm going to go ahead. I will take Rashee Rice as my
7:15first wide receiver off the board here at the 306 to pair him up with McCaffrey and Chase Brown.
7:21Okay. Now, let me pull this over. I feel good about our team.
7:28I think it's a very good spot at this point.
7:31Like again, let me go through and show y'all where we stand with the draft sheets. I think Neighbors has gone. So, if you're looking at the
7:40flockfantasy.com draft sheets at this point.
7:43Devonta Smith is also one of the highest available names.
7:48You have Devonta Smith, Kyren, Chris Olave, Tee Higgins as the names that are the most appealing according to those draft sheets.
7:56Okay, so let's see what Robert decides to do.
8:02Um Let me see.
8:09He goes Terrell McMillan, then we get Cam Akers. Interesting to see Akers go off the board this early.
8:16I mean, y'all know I'm taking a ridiculous amount of Cam Akers in Underdog Best Ball drafts.
8:20If this is the cost that he requires in the flock league though, I'm probably not going to take him. I'll take Devonta
8:26Smith instead of Cam Akers if this unless we get like reports in training camp, hey this dude is 100% fully healthy. You don't have to worry
8:35about the injury stuff at all.
8:37Devonta Smith off the board. Who he is who I had ranked as the best available player. Then we see Lamar Jackson go. I
8:44think we are going to get to the point here at sometime in which we end up seeing teams flip to auto draft and this goes a little bit
8:55faster. That's one of the big problems that you have with the mock drafts on these sites this time of year as a lot
9:00of people will stop drafting like halfway through and then you're going up against the bots, but I'm going to make sure we get in our practice regardless.
9:08Has Kyren already gone?
9:10No, Kyren's still available which is interesting. I may take Kyren in the middle of the fourth if he makes it to
9:15us.
9:16Especially if Javonte's already gone.
9:20This is the team that took Lamar Jackson at the 3.11. They took CeeDee Lamb over Jonathan Taylor.
9:26They decided to go with Tee Higgins at the 4.02.
9:30So Higgins goes 4.02.
9:38Kyren, then Joe Burrow. goes, I'm surprised to see the Burrow pick this early. I think taking Burrow here is a very bad call.
9:48Kyren's a really good pick.
9:50We are two picks away. There's a chance we get ETN. According to the draft assistant, we have a 53% chance that
9:55Travis ETN's taken by our next pick. Uh now that's only a 39% chance after Davante Adams goes.
10:06Okay. Davante Adams off the board.
10:09If you're using the draft sheets, you will see that Ladd McConkey is the best available wide receiver.
10:16The best available running back is ETN.
10:19And then quarterback and tight end, I don't really want to be looking at many people this point. You could point to
10:24Loveland standing out, but again, uh for me personally, I'd go ETN over Loveland.
10:28Yeah, Garrett Wilson off the board.
10:31So once Wilson's off, if you look at my rankings, I have ETN as the highest ranked names, so does Domain Fantasy.
10:37Um so I actually think that we are going to roll in that direction. Let's go ahead and let's take Travis ETN.
10:42According to Yahoo, you want to go Colson Loveland here. I just feel comfortable getting our tight ends a little bit later, so. Uh now we have
10:50Christian McCaffrey, Chase Brown, Travis ETN. Wide receiver, we have Rashee Rice.
10:55If you're looking at where we stand from a running back points perspective, we are already good on running back. Having CMC, Chase Brown, and ETN, we don't need
11:04to be taking another running back for quite some time.
11:07Um yeah, so this is a really good spot to be in.
11:12Okay. Um Ryan says, "Hey Mason, how often do the Sleeper, ESPN, etc.
11:16rankings update on flockfantasy.com? Is it pretty live or do y'all do that up um manually?" So the rankings for the creators on flockfantasy.com are updated
11:26about every day, not exactly every day.
11:29The ADPs with all the sites and flockfantasy.com are updated about every single day. However, while we update them and we hit that API access, like
11:39we'll check ESPN ADPs every single day to see if they're updated.
11:44Um those platforms themselves don't update ADP.
11:47So, like if ESPN or Yahoo keeps the same ADP all week long, we'll check to try to update it every day, but if it's the same exact thing,
11:56like we can't really do much about it.
11:58But, whatever the latest ADP on the site is, we'll be up-to-date within the same day on flock fantasy.
12:06Okay.
12:08Now, Luther Burden off the board at 5:01. We are on the clock in four picks here, and we actually have a lot of wide
12:14receivers as my highest ranked players.
12:16If you're sorting this by my rankings, we have like Emeka, Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans, Jameson Williams. Um if you're sorting this by the expert average
12:24ranks, um similar scenario here, like Emeka is the last player in this tier according to the expert average rankings. So, if we get the opportunity
12:32to take him, we probably need to go ahead and take Emeka at the 5:06, especially knowing that I mean, we don't
12:38have our second wide receiver, and this team before us hasn't drafted a running back. There's a damn good shot they have
12:43to take a running back at the 5:05.
12:46Okay.
12:49Now, this team goes Jayden Daniels, then TreVeyon Henderson. Um so, if you're looking at the draft assistant, every single expert on the site is ranking
12:58Emeka as that top name.
13:00So, I think we're going to listen to him. We're going to go ahead. We are going to take Emeka here as our second
13:06wide receiver. Terry McLaurin's technically the highest according to Yahoo rankings, but frankly, I don't care much about that. I think Emeka is
13:13the better pick, so that's who we're going to be going with. And again, it's not like it's just myself. All the
13:18experts on flockfantasy.com are putting that as the same thing. Quinton Johnston off the board at the 5:07, and I absolutely love the way that this Draft
13:27Assistant has our team now. Again, we have Christian McCaffrey, Chase Brown, Travis Etienne at running back. Wide receiver, we are sitting with the
13:35combination of Rashee Rice as well as Emeka.
13:41We don't really have many team needs. If this was like the Flock League as an example and we knew that everybody was
13:47drafting rationally, we would be able to push quarterbacks so far down this board. Cuz you know your league mates best, right? There are going to be super
13:56casual leagues where the team that took Josh Allen at the 303, they're still going to take a second quarterback later on, right? Teams that don't know what
14:04they're doing.
14:05Um but then the Flock League as an example, whoever takes Drake Maye, they're not drafting another quarterback. Whoever takes Josh Allen,
14:12they're not taking another quarterback.
14:14Who This team that drafted Jayden Daniels, they're not taking another one.
14:16The Burrow team's not taking another one. The Lamar team's not taking another one. So if your league mates know what they are doing, like at this point a lot
14:24of these teams wouldn't even think about taking another quarterback anytime soon.
14:28So that would give us the ability to kind of like punt the position to the very end. However, since this is a mock
14:34draft, we frankly have no idea how these other drafters are going to go. I've never drafted with these people before.
14:40There is a chance that we end up seeing the Josh Allen team take that second QB, right?
14:47Okay.
14:49Now, let's pull this over. DJ Moore off the board at the 512.
14:55Let me see where my rankings have it. Um the expert average ranks have Mike Evans as the top pick.
15:00Um there's a 90% chance though that he does end up getting drafted by the time we are on the clock. Um now that's
15:06actually gone down as there have been a couple other teams to take players, now there's only a 78% chance that he gets taken by our
15:14next pick. We're up in four picks. Um looking at Yahoo, he's actually not the highest ranked player and he's not even
15:21the highest ranked player in ADP, but yeah, Mike Evans does go again the draft assistant told us he was most likely
15:26going to go by our next selection.
15:32Okay.
15:34Montgomery off of the 604. Montgomery massive fall. I mean, in Underdog drafts Montgomery's going way higher than this.
15:46Okay. Kermit, the draft order video for flock I mean, the flock league's not coming out for over a month, my friend.
15:54We're not even remotely close to that.
15:56Uh and my highest-ranked player is going to be Carnell Tate. The highest-ranked according to the expert average ranks on the site is Jadarian Price.
16:08Um again, I'm probably going to listen to my rankings here because the um average expert ranks have Carnell Tate and Jadarian Price in the same tier
16:16anyway. If we look at where we stand from a needs perspective, we still need wide receiver points more than we need
16:22running back points. So, we're going to go ahead and we will take Carnell Tate um as our third wide receiver. And now
16:30these teams are auto drafting, so we are back up on the clock. I'm looking at my ranks. Um I have Brian Thomas the
16:37highest-ranked player, and that's going to be the same way for the other experts on the site. However, Brian Thomas has an ADP of 96 on Yahoo. Um Jordan Tyson's
16:47the second highest-ranked player. He has an ADP of 84. So, I'm going to take Jordan Tyson instead of Brian Thomas with the expectations that we would be
16:55able to get Brian Thomas on the way back around. And again, this is a big thing, making those adjustments based on the
17:00actual platform that you're drafting on.
17:02Cuz if this was an Underdog draft, there's no way you're ever getting Brian Thomas in the eighth round. And same thing, if this was an ESPN draft, Brian
17:10Thomas isn't falling that far, right?
17:12But specifically on Yahoo, I think Sleeper ADP has Brian Thomas super low as well. So, even if he's ranked incredibly high on flockfantasy.com in
17:21comparison to this range here, there's just a chance we're able to get him later.
17:26So, now wide receiver, we have Rashee Rice, Ebuka, Carnell Tate, Jordan Tyson.
17:31Running back, we have McCaffrey, Chase Brown.
17:34Um this is an incredible team.
17:38Especially if we're able to get Brian Thomas cuz then at that point like we are so redundant at wide receiver. We
17:45have Carnell Tate, Jordan Tyson down there on the bench. We don't have to even consider starting them anytime soon. The highest ranked player
17:51according to Yahoo is going to be Alec Pierce.
17:55And ooh, did Brian Thomas end up going?
17:57Yeah, Brian Thomas ended up going. So, sadly we didn't get him. So, for me even if Mekhi Mews makes it back, who is my
18:02highest ranked name, I don't necessarily know if we want three rookie wide receivers on the team. So, I would probably instead pivot over to another
18:10position. I think we could look back over at running back and maybe go with Ramondre or Pollard. A running back that
18:15has a chance to be the starting running back in their own backfield.
18:19So, um as of now the highest ranked player in my rankings is Parker Washington. Um the expert average rankings um have that
18:27tied between Pollard and Washington.
18:30Um Looking at the ADPs of these guys though, Parker Washington ADP 106, Tony Pollard ADP of 92. So, we're going to
18:39take Tony Pollard here instead with the expectation that if you really wanted Parker Washington, you could get him on the way back around potentially. But no,
18:46Parker Washington actually does end up going at the 901 so that doesn't happen.
18:51Um and we are on the clock again. My rankings have Quentin Johnston as the highest ranked player. We have one, two,
18:57three bench spots left. So, we can take Quentin Johnston and then we can grab two quarterbacks at the end as well as we can take
19:08two tight ends at the end as well. So, we'll take Quentin Johnston and then we're probably going to be done when it
19:13comes to running back and wide receiver.
19:15Maybe we went a little heavy on the running back position in terms of the top end production where we got McCaffrey, Chase Brown, Travis Etienne,
19:23as well as Tony Pollard. Maybe we're a little light on wide receiver since we don't have the true top end names, but
19:27we have plenty of depth and a ton of upside. We have Rice, Egbuka, Quentin Johnston, Jordan Addison, as well as Quentin Johnston.
19:39Okay.
19:44Let's see. Mahomes going to be my highest ranked name. We would have a stack with Rashee Rice as well.
19:50Which I'm completely fine going for that stack here. And again, we need a quarterback at this point, and we're going to be able to take two QBs.
19:56Mahomes is gone. Um at this point, I'm really only drafting quarterbacks and tight ends.
20:00So, let's see. Can I filter this down by positions? Yeah, let's look at quarterbacks. Stafford's my highest ranked player, and he's the highest
20:07ranked according to ADP. So, we will take Matthew Stafford as our quarterback.
20:12Um it would have been really nice if we got Mahomes. We got sniped on Mahomes by two picks. We have Malik Willis, Jared
20:17Goff, Jordan Love all off the board.
20:19Xavier Worthy goes as well.
20:21Um looking at my highest ranked players when it comes to quarterback tight end.
20:25We have like Baylor I mean, Baker Mayfield is the highest ranked QB.
20:29We have Mark Andrews as the highest ranked tight end. And if we're looking at the ADPs here, it looks like we're
20:34less likely to get Andrews on the way back than we would be Baker. So, let's take Mark Andrews at the 11.06 as our
20:41first tight ends.
20:44God, I wish we would have got Patrick Mahomes. I would have felt so much better about that.
20:49It's Monkey says, "Would you say it's much easier to draft on Yahoo compared to like Underdog?" Oh, for sure.
20:56Most people that are drafting on like Yahoo, on ESPN, on Sleeper, like your redraft league mates,
21:08you're not going to have to like they're not using draft assistance. They're not using real-time tools.
21:19Underdog there are people that know what they are doing and there are people that are absolutely tuned in.
21:26Um Here the sucky thing is if this was the flock league draft all these quarterbacks are waiver wire QBs. We're sitting in here in a Yahoo public mock
21:37draft lobby where teams are taking three QBs. So it looks more like an underdog draft when you get to this point. We have Stafford. I don't
21:44even want to take a second quarterback.
21:46These quarterbacks are so bad. Again, I would have better quarterbacks available on the waiver wire in my league.
21:53Instead, we're probably going to pivot over to tight end. I'm going to go Hunter Henry as our second tight end in
21:57case Andrews isn't viable.
22:00Okay.
22:01Hunter Henry goes. So we're actually going to probably take my highest ranked tight end which is going to be Actually, I'm not going to go s-
22:10>> [sighs] >> I'm going to go Chig over Sedeeq given the fact that we are already built around the rookies with Carnell Tate and
22:17Jordan Tyson. So I don't want a ridiculous amount of rookies on the bottom end of our bench and then all of
22:22a sudden we are just dealing with um a completely clogged roster at the bottom.
22:30Um let me see if I can go through and look at our exact draft results here.
22:35So quarterback we have Stafford. We would effectively be streaming quarterbacks if this is the flock league. Don't feel bad about starting
22:41Stafford week one. Don't get me wrong.
22:43Running back we're sitting with McCaffrey, Chase Brown. We have Travis Etienne in the flex. Wide receiver Rashee Rice, Emeka then going down to
22:51the bench we have Carnell Tate, Jordan Tyson, Tony Pollard, Quentin Johnston and then we have a bomb tight end, bomb quarterback. Again, flock league we'd be
23:00able to stream these positions and then we're going to take two um more players at the very end. We're going to take a
23:05kicker and a defense. But I'm going to be honest with you, I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do with kicker and
23:09a defense. So, I don't feel the need to sit here and do that on the live stream.
23:14Instead, we will pivot over and we will hop into an Underdog Draft.
23:20Um and yeah, let's do this. I'm I'm going to keep doing those redraft mock drafts probably every other day on the live
23:28stream. Um just so we can keep mixing them in. But obviously, y'all know I absolutely love these Underdog Drafts and I'm going to be getting in as many
23:36as I possibly can. So, I'm going to be streaming Underdog Drafts still every single day on this stream until the season starts.
23:46And I got to make this screen way smaller.
23:49Okay, a little bit better here.
23:52Probably do better than that. Ooh.
23:55Okay, here we go. And we get pick seven in this. So, very similar to what we saw in the redraft draft. I'm going to be
24:00honest with y'all though, this is going to be a lot harder.
24:05Um the Yahoo Drafts, ESPN Drafts, Sleeper Drafts, like once we get to the Flock League, it's going to be difficult because we
24:14have people that know what they're doing. And I'm sure once we get closer to August, the people in those mock draft rooms, they're going to get
24:20smarter. They're going to have a better sense of what they are doing. But as of now, they are I don't want to say clueless, but
24:31Again, we got Travis Etienne in the middle of the fourth.
24:36Brian Thomas went around eight.
24:39Okay.
24:42EU says, "Do a Facebook draft tomorrow, please. That's where the fantasy elites are drafting these days." Um is there actually drafts on Facebook?
24:52There's no way Facebook has fantasy football drafts, do they?
24:55And if so, do we need to be syncing them with flockfantasy.com?
25:03I'm assuming that it's just a straight-up joke, but let me know.
25:10Okay.
25:11Fry game says, "How do you turn on the flock fantasy helper while you're drafting on Sleeper and ESPN?" If you got the season pass, make sure you draft
25:19Okay, real quick.
25:20If you want to do the draft sheets yourself, all you would do is go to the draft sheets section on flockfantasy.com. If you wanted to
25:28download the live assistant to your computer to draft with you, you hit the get the overlay tool.
25:34And then you'll go into the browser extensions on Google Chrome. We're going to take Amon-Ra St. Brown. He's my highest ranked player.
25:40You'll go into the browser extensions on Google Chrome.
25:45Then from there, you'll just click the flockfantasy.com one. You'll sign in. It will check to see if you have the season
25:51pass. It will check to see if you're a mother flocker. And if you are, then it will go ahead and automatically load up
25:56for you, my friend.
25:59Okay. Braden, yes, you should.
26:02Now we got Moisty in this draft with us at two.
26:06Cameron in this draft with us at 12.
26:08Happy to have y'all.
26:12And Danny's Danny's punishment is going to be a live stream.
26:19And Braden, yes, I already told you you're going to get your season pass.
26:23Um Jesse says, "In your opinion, how much is skill versus luck when doing good in fantasy?" I would say it's very similar
26:32to poker, right?
26:34The beauty of fantasy football, and this is why fantasy football is such a big game. My highest ranked player is Drake London. We are going to go ahead
26:44and rip him.
26:45The reason fantasy football is so popular, and the reason why fantasy football is so good is
26:56it is not always the best person wins, right?
27:01There is of course luck in it.
27:04So, if you were to sit down and you were to play in a fantasy football league 10,000 times, right? You were to do
27:1110,000 drafts.
27:15Most likely out of the 10,000 the better player is going to win more than the worst player, right? It's almost a guarantee.
27:27But, if you are only ripping one draft, right?
27:33If the better player has a 60% chance of winning and the worst player has a 40% chance of winning, the worst player can win, convince
27:45themselves that they are good, and vice versa, right?
27:53The worst player could lose and convince themselves that they are unlucky.
28:01That So, there is an element of skill in it for sure, but very similar to poker, right?
28:07If you sit down and play a poker poker with your buddies, more likely than not there's one person that's much better
28:14than everybody else, all right? Or one person that's much worse than everybody else.
28:20But, is it impossible for the person that's the worst to pick up pocket aces and end up having a winning session that night?
28:30No, it's very possible.
28:32So, I wouldn't be able to tell you what percent is luck versus skill, but the reason why fantasy football is so fun
28:44is because there is that luck element.
28:46If it was only skill, it would be like chess, right? Where chess the better player is going to win almost every time.
28:55Okay.
28:56Zoofus says, "I'd say fantasy is 70% skill, 30% luck." Let me know what y'all think in the chat. What percentage luck
29:03versus skill do you think fantasy football is?
29:07Caden says, "Sorry to spam the question, but is there any chance y'all will add to include average ADP value picks in the draft sheets?" I'll
29:15show you that right now, my friend.
29:18So, Olave goes 29. My highest ranked player is Breece, then it's Tee Higgins.
29:26We'll see what this team right before us does. He went two running backs to start. He goes Tee Higgins. So, it does
29:31mean we are going to get Breece Hall to pair up with St. Brown as well as Drake London, which I feel good about that
29:37starting wide receiver wide receiver.
29:39Okay.
29:41So, it says, "So Sorry to spam, but same question, but is there any chance y'all will add {slash} include average ADP
29:48value?" So, if you're referring to the consensus ADP sheets, right, that we have on flockfantasy.com, where we have this average ADP across all platforms.
29:58If you open up the draft sheets right now, you can go through and you can look at all of the different columns that you
30:05have. So, like right now this is a Sleeper league, we have Sleeper ADP loaded in, we have consensus ADP loaded in, we have the ranking loaded in for
30:13your exact league format, and then we take the ranking plus the ADP for the platform you're drafting on, we add them
30:19together, we sort by that, that way you have the best draft sheet to go off of to take into account the platform you're
30:26playing on, so you can pick up values and not reach when you don't need to. Um but, if you just scroll over and look at
30:32the additional columns, you get the consensus ADP's already added to the draft sheets, my friend, so what you're asking us what you want us to do, we already did
30:41it for you. I mean, if you use the draft sheets last year, um everything the same is on there.
30:48Okay.
30:49Now, Josh Jacobs off the board at 40.
30:54We got 75% luck, 25% skill.
30:57Um Malik Nabers off the board. My highest ranked player is Cam Skattebo.
31:00Ooh, Skattebo flipped Luther Burden in ADP, which y'all know I agree with.
31:05Um We got 50/50. You could always get a torn ACL. That is true.
31:1180% luck, 20% skill, 50/50.
31:1750/50, 90 luck, 10 skill, 50 skill, 25 luck, 25 paying attention to the waiver wire. I would say that 25 paying
31:26attention to the waiver wire is skill.
31:2970 lucky, 30 skill, 70 skill, 30 lucky.
31:33So, here's the thing, nobody has a good answer for you.
31:37We really don't.
31:39Um Harry says, "How would you handle drafting in person where there is no ADP and people aren't using a draft sheet
31:45and just taking who they want?" If that's the case, I would go to the draft sheets. I would load up my exact league
31:50settings. You go through, you put your exact league settings in here, right?
31:54Like say it's a superflex league, um then what you're going to see is you're going to see the and then you put in the
32:01superflex league, you set my rankings, and you'll go through if you sort by my rankings, you will see the exact Oh, this is what's
32:11happening. Sorry, I was like, why are these draft sheets not updating? My screen froze. Okay, there we go. But, you'll see the exact
32:18um ranking that you should take the players. So, there's those two different columns. There's the ranking column, and then there is the ranking plus ADP,
32:27right?
32:30So, if your league mates aren't drafting on the platform, they're just doing in person, I I just go based off the
32:36ranking because you don't have to worry about them looking at an ADP set.
32:42Now, we have a massive run on wide receivers after we take Scat with Terry, Waddle, Evans, Jamo, Adams, Luther Burden all off.
32:51Um let me remind y'all of course real quick what tournament this is.
32:55I will say there is some skill and there is some luck to this tournament. It's a $5 buy-in, million-dollar prize pool,
33:01200k to first, 100k to second, 50,000 to third, 25,000 to fourth all the way down the line. We've actually had a member of
33:08the flock win a puppy draft on Underdog before. Again, this draft here is a best ball draft. There's no time commitment
33:14during the year. So, I draft hundreds of teams every off season. It's how I profited over $127,000 in these Underdog drafts myself. And if
33:22you wanted to draft with us, um always drafting on this live stream every single night. Link to join Underdog Fantasy is in the description. It's in
33:30the comment section. It's in the live chat. If you use code flock when you sign up to Underdog Fantasy, you're going to get $50 out of your account
33:37after you play your first five, and you're going to get access to the flockfantasy.com best ball rankings, and the flockfantasy.com best ball draft
33:44assistance. That way you have an advantage in these drafts yourself. Um I'm going to get weird here. I'm going to take Lamar Jackson.
33:53I have Cardale Tate ranked ahead of Lamar, but I'm going to get weird. I'm going to go ahead and take Lamar because the
34:00quarterback stacking options are minimal on our team at this point. I don't want to take a um Atlanta quarterback to pair up with
34:07Drake London. So, we're going to snipe that Zay Flowers team on Lamar Jackson here at 55.
34:14Okay.
34:17Now, Cadence says Mason makes his own luck. Flock League don't stand a chance.
34:21That is true, my friend.
34:25That is true. Here's the Okay, I'm going to be honest with y'all to the question of how much of fantasy football is luck
34:31versus how much is skill?
34:34Whenever I win, 100% is skill.
34:39Whenever I lose, 95% is luck.
34:45Okay.
34:47It's as simple as that. You can break down the math and all the fancy types you want.
34:53But when I win, it's skill. When I lose, it's luck. This team at 10 is absolutely crushing.
35:03Now, um Bennett says, "So what perks are in the motherflocker package?" So the season pass on the site is the $34 one.
35:13Okay.
35:16F it. Let's take Daniels. Let's see how this goes. This is a $5 draft. We're going to get weird with it. You would
35:20never do this in your regular redraft league, but in a best ball draft, you have to take two to three quarterbacks
35:24anyway. So let's see what happens.
35:27So the $34 season pass just comes with all the redraft stuff, right? So if you're like your ESPN, your Sleeper, your Yahoo leagues, the $97 annual
35:35motherflocker um comes with all the redraft stuff, but also the dynasty stuff. It gives you the option to add on the best ball stuff as well.
35:45Um and also again, if you use code flock when you get the $34 pass, it will get you free start sit and trade questions
35:53for me during the live stream.
35:55Um but it won't get you a free team review.
35:58The motherflocker, however, gets you the start sit and trade questions for free um when you use code flock, and it will
36:06also get you a free team review.
36:08But my main thing I would break it down as, if you play dynasty and best ball, you probably want the motherflocker. If
36:15you only play redraft, then I would probably recommend just getting the $34 season pass.
36:23Um Ben says, "Mason, what are your thoughts on superflex. Should I do it? I highly [snorts] recommend superflex in dynasty leagues. However, for your
36:32regular redraft league, I personally prefer one quarterback. But honestly, I do think that it's going to be up to your just personal preference.
36:42Um looking at the draft assistant right now in the live draft grades, it doesn't look like anybody has had a horrible
36:49draft so far. It looks like everybody's right in line.
36:55Okay.
36:57Andrew says, "Is motherflocker included with the season pass?" No, motherflocker and season pass are two different packages.
37:03Yeah, motherflocker is the $97 season pass that comes with the dynasty stuff.
37:07Um if you don't play dynasty and you just want the redraft stuff, that's the $34 season pass. They're just two different options on the site.
37:16Okay, so let's move this around. For me, um I think we want wide receiver more than anything, but DK Metcalf just went,
37:22so we don't even get that option. We're just going to go ahead and take Ramondre.
37:27It's a weird-ass team. We just went double anchor wide receiver, which is like my least favorite thing to do.
37:38Okay.
37:44Now, after we take Ramondre, Sutton off the board at 80.
37:49Really weird to see that team after us decide to go Caleb Williams instead of Daniels. Cuz here's the thing about taking an unstacked Caleb
37:59Williams, there are no Bears options that you can draft later on, right?
38:09But if you go like Jayden Daniels the way that we did, one Jayden Daniels gives you more rushing upside, so a stack will
38:16matter less.
38:18And two, at the same time, like you can grab boring names later like Antonio Williams, like Chig.
38:30So you have a little more flexibility on that front.
38:37Okay, we are on the clock here. Harvey goes at 79.
38:42Oh dear god, we got to take Tucker Kraft. I really wanted to go with the wide receiver here, but when you get
38:48the opportunity to take Tucker Kraft at 90, we just got to do it.
38:54Spencer says, "Can you believe the Quentin Johnston price? It's outrageous." No. Here's the deal.
39:00I made Quentin Johnston my most drafted player around wide receiver 70 last year. He helped us profit like 20 something thousand dollars last season
39:07in drafts. He almost won us like 200,000 dollars last season in drafts. Sadly, we didn't get lucky when we needed to.
39:14Um so I would love to come out and go all in on Quentin Johnston again this year, and I did do so whenever he had an ADP
39:24in round nine. He was one of my most drafted players during that point. But now that he's risen up to having a cost where it goes at the
39:326-7 turn, it is much, much tougher to draft him.
39:41So um if y'all haven't noticed, I'm not like over the moon targeting Quentin Johnston this year. I'm definitely not going to call him an avoid
39:52out of the respect for the amount of money that he's won us.
39:57I'm going to keep my lips sealed on that.
40:00But definitely the price is tougher to justify me going all in as him being my most drafted player this season in
40:07comparison to where it was last.
40:10Okay.
40:12Uh Bennett says, "Just finish your wide receiver breakout vid. It was amazing."
40:14My friend, thank Thank much, my friend.
40:16I really hope that that helps you out.
40:19Um No brain says, "Just checked out the team Mason getting cooked again." That is true, my friend.
40:26Cooked like a Thanksgiving turkey.
40:31Dart off 98, what we are wanting to see is we are wanting to see quarterbacks off the board, of course. And for me, a
40:38wide receiver is almost a necessity with this next pick.
40:42We'll see if we get one, but Um Kahlil M'ingo guy making it to us at 103 would kind of be insane.
40:55What are you doing here, buddy?
41:01What are you doing here?
41:03Goes Kahlil M'ingo guy.
41:05That team goes Bow next. Thank god, we're going to get a wide receiver.
41:11So, looking at the draft assistant at this point, we're done taking quarterbacks, obviously. Running back, we need to get five.
41:18Wide receiver, we need to have eight wide receivers at this point just cuz we haven't drafted somebody in so damn long. And then we need to draft three
41:25tight ends as well. Michael Pittman goes, that's going to leave us with Ricky Pearsall as our third wide receiver, which feels disgusting, but it
41:34is what it is. It's pick 103. We made the video a way back months ago at this point after we had drafted our first 100
41:42teams. We talked about our most drafted wide receivers and our least drafted wide receivers.
41:47Um Quentin Johnston was my most drafted wide receiver at that point, obviously, until his value has risen so much and now that I've
41:54I've stopped drafting him as much as I did.
41:57But, let me go through and revisit this cuz I had very rarely drafted Ricky Pearsall. Yeah, Quentin Johnston like had an ADP of like 116,
42:0798, pick 100. Like really hovered around pick 100 for a while.
42:12An ADP Ricky Pearsall when he was one of our least drafted players and we made the video advocating to avoid him
42:19had an ADP back then of like 97.
42:23Um so he actually had an ADP higher than Quentin Johnston back when drafts first opened. And now there's just so much of
42:30a wider gap between the two that I feel okay taking Pearsall at 103 because the more enticing wide receivers in my mind
42:37are already off the board.
42:42Okay.
42:44Uh Michael, welcome to being a member my friend.
42:48King Rock says, "My girlfriend's favorite time of the year hearing Mason's voice almost every day."
42:52Your girlfriend's a very lucky lady, but let's be honest with each other here my friend.
42:57Your girlfriend hears my voice every day all year round.
43:02Maybe it's not on YouTube.
43:04But I don't know why we got to pretend that this is only a YouTube ordeal.
43:10Okay, we're going to take Rachaad White.
43:11He's my highest ranked player and while yes, we need a wide receiver, we also need a running back.
43:17Okay, so now our team is St. Brown wide receiver one.
43:24Drake London wide receiver two.
43:28Ricky Pearsall wide receiver three.
43:32Running back we have Breece Hall RB1.
43:35Cam Akers RB2.
43:37Rhamondre RB3.
43:39Rachaad White RB4.
43:42We have the bully quarterback strategy, which is not ideal. We don't want to do this.
43:47Um and then we have Tucker Kraft here at tight end as well.
43:52Okay.
43:53Marvin says, "Bought the Flock Best Ball tool and I'm loving just looking at all my Best Ball teams and seeing their
43:57grades and combos. Fun times." Um yeah, I really if you you need anything else from us, just let me know my friend.
44:05So I'm super happy to hear that enjoying the tools. And yeah, if there's anything as you use them that you go, "Hey, this
44:11would be cool. I want the devs to add it."
44:14by all means, trust me, I'd be happy to throw more work at the developers on the site. So, just let me know anything you
44:21want, my guy.
44:24Now, let's pull this around. Stash this horrible draft. Thank you, Stash. I appreciate it, my friend. Cameron says, "Am I
44:35cooking at 12 or nah?"
44:38Let's go ahead and let's check this out.
44:4212, James Cook, Amari Hampton, Kyren Williams. Then we play catch-up here receiver with T'eo Bryan Thomas, Rondale Moore, Jaylen Reed. Lawrence to pair up
44:51with Bryan Thomas, Love to pair with Reed. Your team's better than mine.
44:56I don't know if I'm going to say you're cooking, but I've burnt what I've cooked.
45:04And I definitely like your team a little bit more here, my friend.
45:10Okay.
45:12Now, let's swing this back over.
45:17So, we can take Mark Andrews to pair up with Lamar.
45:21Again, wide receiver is the bigger priority for us, but my highest ranked wide receiver is Stefon Diggs, and based on ADP, it looks
45:29like we can probably get him in the next round.
45:34Andrews goes.
45:41Laugh me, we're just going to take freaking Shakir.
45:45Freaking laugh me. God, that's a horrible pick.
45:50Absolute garbo pick.
45:58But again, with my highest ranked receiver being Diggs, there's a damn good chance we get Stefon Diggs at 138.
46:06And I've already drafted so much Stefon Diggs as well.
46:19All right. Jake Ferguson at 128. It would have just been better to get Mark Andrews.
46:27And ooh, I see a bunch of people typing season pass. Completely forgot to mention that we do have the giveaway live.
46:32We set up the giveaway a while ago. So if you all type season pass, you all should be in it. We've already had 154
46:37people in it, so.
46:39Again, I will remind you all how to enter in to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass. You have to do two things.
46:45One, drop a like on the live stream.
46:48Should be simple enough. And two, type the word season pass into the live chat.
46:55And we are giving away a free flockfantasy.com season pass every single day. Okay, my highest ranked player is Isaiah Likely. Then we go over
47:04to Travis Hunter next. I actually think wide receiver is going to matter more No, we're just going to take our highest
47:10ranked.
47:11We're going to go Likely. We forced the wide receiver pick in the last round.
47:14Well, yes, Chig does give us the Jayden Daniels stack. You can very easily make the argument that's what we need. I just
47:20think Isaiah Likely is the better player, so we're going to take Likely.
47:25Okay.
47:27But I wish we would have got Stefon Diggs making it back. There's a lot of drafts in which we are able to
47:33get Diggs here. Let me see the difference in the amount of drafts I've taken Shaheed and compares I'm sorry, not Shaheed, Shakir in comparison to
47:42Stefon Diggs. Shakir I have taken in 1.7 drafts. I've drafted 229 teams on Underdog. Before this one, I had taken
47:52him in only four drafts.
47:54Stefon Diggs, on the other hand, I had taken in 25 drafts, 11%. So, it's all I think it I'm not going to sit
48:08here and cry that we missed out on getting another Stefon Diggs share.
48:13I think it's acceptable for us to roll the dice to see if we get him in the 12th round.
48:19Patty says, "Will there ever be a tool in which we can make our own rankings?"
48:23So, I actually brought this up to the devs on flockfantasy.com in the meeting on Monday, which I guess was yesterday.
48:29I said that enough of y'all have asked in the live streams lately to be able to make your own rankings that you can use
48:36with all the tools that we build out.
48:39And long story short, one of the devs said, "Yes, that should be easy."
48:46The other dev said, "That's going to be a massive hit on our database. We're going to have to store so many blah blah
48:52blah."
48:53Um nerdy dev talk, nerdy dev talk, nerdy dev talk.
48:57Um I said, "Okay. Well, let's look into it and let's figure it out." Um long story short, yes, y'all will most likely
49:05be able to upload your own rankings and create your own rankings on flockfantasy.com to use with all the tools, but I can't promise that's going to be
49:14something that's like super quick that you get that next week.
49:21Okay.
49:25Now, Britain Strange goes 145. Isiah Pacheco off 146.
49:37Uh Caden says, "I'm interested in personal rankings, too, even for additional price." We definitely would not like upcharge y'all like an
49:44additional cost to make your rankings.
49:47It would just have to be included with anything you have.
49:50Um the devs just have to find a way to optimize the back end, that way we can have cuz if we give y'all that option, we
50:00probably are going to have to save 5,000 different ranking sets.
50:04So, like we went through and we mapped out a lot of different things. We'll see if we get Omar Cooper here. Crap, we
50:08didn't. Um Jaylen McMillan I have Daniel Jones as my highest ranked player, but we're not taking a quarterback, obviously. So, we'll just move to my
50:15highest ranked wide receiver, which is Jaylen McMillan. We just need random bodies here that aren't going to matter in a regular redraft league, but could
50:21matter in best ball.
50:23But, here's the compromise that we talked about this a little bit on Monday to bore y'all with the details.
50:28Essentially, right now on flockfantasy.com, every single time one of the creators updates their ranking you'll um we save the latest rankings,
50:40right? So, we've saved every single ranking set on flockfantasy.com over the past 3 years.
50:48So, like if you go through and pull up like R.J. Harvey as an example, and you want to see how his ranking has changed
50:54this off season after they resigned Dobbins and then they drafted Zonovan Knight, you can see like his dynasty ranking here because all the um rankings on
51:03flockfantasy.com have been saved.
51:05What I essentially told the devs, I was like, "If we're going to have to save like 5,000 people's rankings on the site
51:12Okay, my highest ranked name is Kenyon Sadiq, and honestly, we can't take a third tight end, so we're going to grab
51:17him.
51:18Um the compromise I think we came up with to make it easier for the devs to build out and host all the data for y'all
51:26is like say y'all make your rankings to use with the tools on flockfantasy.com and then you update them, and update them, and update them. Like I update
51:38mine pretty much every single day.
51:40We're not going to save every single version in our database of your rankings throughout time, so you can see a nice
51:47little chart of like how your rankings have changed. Cuz that would probably be too much data for us to save, and it
51:53would probably make the site slower.
51:55But what we'll probably do is just save your latest rankings.
52:00Um that way Um it's one helpful for y'all. Y'all can
52:11use the tools with your own rankings.
52:13And two, we're not just overloading our back end.
52:19Okay.
52:24Um Bennett says, "When's the next time you're going to hop in a $500 draft?" I don't know, my friend.
52:29Probably next week.
52:31If I had to guess.
52:38Josh says, "Mason, love the chicken sandwich vid. When's the cheeseburgers coming?" Sooner rather than later, my friend.
52:43Sooner rather than later. I got sick this past week.
52:46Had a pretty nasty cough/flu situation.
52:50Um definitely better now, but now I'm having to like catch up on a bunch of work. I have like a bunch of business
52:55meetings this week, which sucks.
53:01It is what it is.
53:03Um hopefully I can make a cheeseburger video soon. But one thing that does not suck is um
53:14Today did not suck. Today was extremely fun.
53:19Shout out to Mr. Vetry.
53:23I don't know if y'all saw this, but we went ahead and went to the France Spain um
53:33match today in Dallas. It was so much fun.
53:39Um my underdog picks they didn't hit. It is It is what it is.
53:45Thanks for nothing. Uh, we're going to take No part of me wants Adam and I Mitchell.
53:53I don't care if I'm already built around the Jets.
53:55Um, but yeah, the game was a ton of fun.
54:01Let's pull this over.
54:09Slide this down.
54:15We got Ballers says blue and white teams don't win in that stadium.
54:22That is true.
54:25Blue and white teams don't win in that Dallas Cowboys stadium.
54:30Lou, happy to see you, my guy.
54:34Heri says, "When you go get cheeseburgers, make sure you don't get lettuce for the explosive diarrhea virus going around."
54:41I know this is like the most hack joke of all time.
54:46But yeah, I sent the I saw this the tweet that was like "Health officials are tracking a growing
54:56outbreak of a parasitic stomach illness that's now been reported. Gives explosive diarrhea that can last for weeks or months even untreated." So, I
55:04sent that to my family group chat and I said, "Y'all are lucky enough to know patient zero."
55:10Nobody responded. I guess nobody thought it was funny. I thought it was funny.
55:14Yes, low-hanging fruit, I get it. Maybe I could have been a little more creative, a little more original.
55:21I still thought it deserved at least a reaction. A like a little haha reaction in the family group chat.
55:29However, I didn't get anything.
55:32They straight-up ignored me.
55:35Not a thumbs-up, not a thumbs-down, not a haha.
55:40Just a a a cold the cold shoulder.
55:49One thing I didn't get an ignored with though is Ooh.
55:56I'll show y'all this little picture.
55:59This the little baby puppy was laying on the bed.
56:04The big girl who's usually shy and doesn't really want to hang out with the baby puppy that much. Which of course I
56:09want her to like the baby puppy more than anything in the world. I want them to play together all the time. It would
56:14warm my heart to an insane degree.
56:17She jumped up to lay on the bed with the puppy and got all close to the puppy. They laid there together.
56:24Aw.
56:25It was the cutest thing I'd ever seen.
56:27It warmed my heart to a degree that y'all have no idea.
56:32I took a thousand photos.
56:36And Yeah, I just absolutely love them so freaking much.
56:46This one's cute with the little baby puppy.
56:52I'm sorry. Uh give me just a couple more weeks I get to show y'all pictures.
56:57Once the puppy is big as the other dog, I'll quit it.
57:01But Aries says, "No way that's Mrs. Flock ripping a draft in the background." My friend, who do you who do you think is
57:09actually the brains behind Flock Fantasy?
57:13You think it's me who drafts the winning teams? You've seen me on these live streams. How many streams has it been
57:18since I've drafted a good team?
57:21I have Mrs. Flock in the other room ripping drafts. She's my only chance to win something.
57:26Um we're going to take Tank Dell here.
57:28And then we're going to look at the math to figure out if we should take another running back or receiver.
57:37Um, running back five is better than six. Wide receivers eight is better than seven based on what we've done. Okay, so
57:43we're going to take another receiver.
57:44But oh, real quick, let me give away a free flockfantasy.com season pass.
57:49I was driving for 7 hours today and I have to wake up at like much
57:58earlier than usual to drive far ways to get my car's oil changed tomorrow morning, so I'm going to try to end this
58:06stream a little bit early. Typically, we do three drafts, we're only going to do two today. So, we're going to give away
58:10a free flockfantasy.com season pass right now.
58:14Let's go ahead and rip it.
58:17See who's winning this thing.
58:23Okay, Caesar Quijano, 6336, please, my friends, message me right now. What is your flockfantasy.com username? I'd be super
58:35happy to go ahead and get you set up with a free flockfantasy.com season pass.
58:42Um, we're going to take Rashad White here to go ahead and pair up with Lamar Jackson. And again, we looked at the
58:47historical math and it does appear that we need to go ahead and take an eighth wide receiver as opposed to a s-
58:55sev- I mean, sixth running back.
58:58But, I'm going to kill time here wait for Caesar to let us know his name. And as I kill that time,
59:06I will remind y'all season pass. For the time being, it's still only 34 bucks.
59:10You're going to get access to all the draft sheets for your redraft leagues, all the draft assistants for your redraft leagues.
59:16Um, you're going to get the weekly rankings, the rest of season rankings updated throughout the season, trade calculator, my team's page. Not only all the stuff
59:25that I put out, but all the stuff that the other creators you watch on YouTube put out as well.
59:30It's all 34 bucks. It's going to be the way you win your league and at the same time, we are still making it the cheapest
59:36product in fantasy football, even though in my opinion, it's by far and away the best.
59:41Now, Caesar just found you for the season pass. I appreciate you, my friend. I'm going to go ahead and send this username to the devs on the site so
59:50you get set up.
59:52But, appreciate you.
59:55Really hope that y'all enjoyed this stream. I had a ton of fun today. I'm sorry that we're ending this a little
60:01bit early, but much love and I really hope to see out in the live stream.
