Insight pageD'Andre Swift
Dak Prescott
PositiveProjection0:45
Analyst's highest ranked player overall and projects he could fall to pick 87 in this smaller field contest, making him acceptable as an unstacked QB in this format.

Williams is the highest ranked running back in the analyst's rankings and is selected at pick 35.
Insight pageLamar Jackson

Insight pagePositiveValue0:33

PositiveValue0:19
Stefon Diggs is ranked ahead of Isaiah Likely on Mason's board, indicating he has more value than the pick used on Likely.

Episode Transcript
0:00It is a day to rejoice and that is because the puppy tournament is back.
0:06Everybody's favorite tournament on Underdog. This is the $5 buyin, million-dollar prize pool. 200k to first, 100k to second. You can see all
0:14the prices here. And how you turn your five bucks into 200,000, which we've had a member of the flock win the puppy
0:20tournament before, is you have to be a top two scoring team in your 12 team draft in the regular season. Then you
0:26make the fantasy playoff tournament.
0:28Week 15, you have to go up against nine people if you beat them. Week 16, you have to go up against nine people again.
0:35If you beat them, week 17, you have to go up against 375 people. And if you beat them, you turn your $5 into 200k.
0:43You get second place, you turn your $5 into a h 100,000. I know this is the tournament that most people really enjoy
0:50because it's at such a low price point that they are able to rip a ton of drafts. And we're going to be doing this
0:55tournament. We're going to be doing these drafts specifically on this live stream a ton over the coming weeks as I'm expecting this tournament actually
1:05stays open a decent while because there were two separate puppy tournaments that dropped on underdog. One's the fast puppy, so these puppy drafts that have a
1:1420 second timer. The other is the slow puppy, so the drafts that have an eighthour timer. But here we're at pick
1:2211. And so far this has been an incredibly standard draft. Um really there's nothing out of the ordinary.
1:28Technically Jonathan Taylor and McAffrey have a higher ADP than a Monroe St.
1:32Brown, but it's not uncommon at all to see St. Brown go at six. We get Justin Jefferson making it down to us with this
1:41pick here at 11. He's the highest ranked player in my rankings. We'll go ahead and take him. We also know just if you
1:46look at my rankings here on the side, they're going to be a ton of running backs that are also available immediately after for us. So we'll take
1:54Jefferson. We'll see what running back makes it back. We have Derk Henry and Chase Brown both going. If we look at
2:00the most common pairings with Jefferson on what we should expect based on the way the ADP lines up, you will see that
2:08Genty I believe is going to be the most unique pick. And he's the highest ranked player for me. Justin Jefferson teams
2:14only get to take Ash and Genty about 5.8% of the time according to the flockfantasy.com draft assistant. So, with that in mind, not only is it a pick
2:23that's the highest in my rankings, not only does it start us with an absolute hammer at wide receiver and a hammer at
2:29running back, but it's a pretty unique pick in this tournament as well, which is something that I care about. Now, let
2:36me swing this around. I'm going to set up a free giveaway for y'all for the season pass. Just give me one second to
2:40do that. Um, and as I do that, I'll remind y'all these underdog drafts, they're baseball, right? There's no time commitment at all during the season.
2:46That's how I draft hundreds of teams every offseason. That's how I have profited over um $127,000 in these underdog drafts over the past
2:55four years. And of course, I'm going to keep doing drafts every single night on this stream. I would love for you to
3:02draft with us. We always leave the link in the description as well as the comment section. And if you sign up to
3:08Underdog Fantasy with promo code flock, you're going to get $5 added to your account after you play your first I'm sorry, you're going to get $50 added to
3:15your account after you play your first five. So, just play one of these $5 drafts and you'll get 50 bucks added in
3:20and you can rip a ton of drafts and you'll get access to the flockfantasy.com best baseball tools.
3:25That way, you have an advantage in these drafts as well. Now, let me swing this around and set up the free season pass
3:35giveaway. So, it just got set up here.
3:38Um, if you drop a like on the live stream and type season pass in the chat, you'll be entered in to win that free
3:42flockfantasy.com season pass. But super interesting turn here at pick 24 and 25.
3:50That team at one reaches on both Z Flowers as well as T. Higgins. Flowers and Higgins play against each other in
3:57week 17. So um when that's the final week that a ton of money is up for grabs. Again, that's when you can win
4:04the 100K. A lot of people like betting on individual games to be shootouts.
4:08That way if the Baltimore Ravens Cincinnati Bengals game is a shootout, both of these players smash and this is possibly one of the only teams that has
4:16this exact combo because Flowers and Higgins typically go in the middle to the end of the third. Now for me, I have
4:22them ranked so far beyond this it would be tough to take him personally.
4:28Now McBride makes it all the way down to pick 30. Absolutely love that cost on McBride. Then we have a Josh Allen. For
4:35me, I have it ranked as ETN Chairen and then Malik Neighbors. Good shot.
4:40Neighbors misses a large chunk of the season. But because it's a $100,000 first place prize and you have to have a crazy high ceiling in
4:50the final three weeks, I'm willing to take a super low floor player with Malik Neighbors due to the injury for the
4:58ceiling that he may give us in those final three. Now, my rankings here have Kyron Williams the highest ranked player. So, we are going to take Kiran
5:05when he makes it to us at 35. We used to get Kairen back. I mean, in these drafts like a month and a half ago all the way
5:12down in the fourth round, which felt very good. Jacobs goes at 36. Um, Neighbors is my highest rate name. So, we're going to get Malik Neighbors here
5:20in the fourth round. Again, I already addressed with the injury stuff. It's very much a concern that you potentially don't have Malik Neighbors for the first
5:30eight weeks this season. like that is a very real possibility.
5:34But I want to be optimizing my team for the highest ceiling I can possibly have in weeks 15, 16, 17. If that's going to be
5:42the case, I do think that during that 3-week stretch, it is a possibility. Is it super likely? No. But it is a
5:50possibility that Malik Neighbors is the number one wide receiver in fantasy during those three weeks. So, even though this pick comes with a ton of
5:58risk, this is a $5 buyin, million-dollar prize pool. 100k to first. I'm sorry, 200,000 of first, 100k to second. Right.
6:08In my opinion, what we should be doing is swinging for the absolute fences trying to hit a home run here. And
6:15possibly you hit that home run with Malik Neighbors if he's able to come back in like week five. And all of a
6:20sudden, he is a piece that moves the needle for you, especially if you get to the fantasy playoffs.
6:27Now, let me see this. Um, Wesco, long time remember the vlog says, "Do you think Fernando Mendoza is going to start?" Yes, I think Fernando Mendoza is
6:37going to start. Um, I need to make a YouTube short about this because I feel like this is something I talk about very
6:43frequently, but I'll just go through make a YouTube short and get the exact numbers out there for everybody.
6:48essentially every single time a quarterback selected number one overall, they are um starting within the first four weeks
6:59of the season.
7:01Like I think Mendoza doesn't start week one, but I think he starts the vast majority of the year.
7:08Okay. Job says, "Just got a Kenyan Drake signed jersey. How are we feeling about the pickup?" How much is a Kenyan Drake
7:15signed jersey for going nowadays?
7:18Let's pull this up. What do y'all think?
7:21Kenyon Drake signed jersey.
7:27So, we got a Cardinals one, 119.
7:31An Alabama one, 109.
7:36Oh, this one's only 65 on eBay.
7:42If you're a massive Kenyan Drake fan, go for it, my friend. I I'll say I'm not drafting him this year. That's what
7:47you're asking. Okay.
7:53Okay. Preston says, "Hey, Mason, are the draft sheets on the flock site tailored to your league if you have it linked?"
7:59Yes, sir, they are. I'll show you exactly how that works after we make these two picks. Tutenoff at 57. Y'all can see my rankings here. Not that big
8:06of a surprise. One thing that's an interesting note is the team after us has drafted four running backs straight.
8:14So, my expectation for this team is they kind of have to go wide receiver, wide receiver. So, if we wanted to get fancy
8:21with it, we could go Roma Dunce and see if we end up getting Lamar Jackson on the way back.
8:27And honestly, let's do it. This team after us has four running backs.
8:33Do they take Brian Thomas and Jordan Tyson here? No, they don't. They go Lamar Jackson. We rolled the dice. It didn't work out. It is what it Oh my
8:40gosh.
8:42They go Lamar Jackson and Drake May.
8:49What are you doing here, brother?
8:55Zero wide receivers through the first six rounds.
9:00Absolutely brutal. Already the worst grade in the draft and I'm expecting that only to get worse as time goes on.
9:08Crazy this team at 12. Absolutely insane. But Preston, I'll pull up the draft sheets on flockfantasy.com real quick to just explain how this works for
9:16you. So, you have two separate options with the draft sheets one. Obviously, I know a lot of y'all been on flockfantasy.com for years. You maybe
9:24already have one of your fantasy leagues loaded, right? So, like say um let me see if the flock league is in here.
9:33I don't see the Okay, the flock league right here. Say you select like your exact league that you already have linked with flockfantasy.com.
9:41Um you'll see that immediately it automatically pulls in your exact league settings. It's a sleeper league. Here are all the form. I mean here are all
9:49the settings. So we'll go through and pull in the custom draft sheets for the settings of this league exactly. But if
9:57you don't have it linked, then what you would do instead is you would just be able to get custom mode and then you
10:03would fill this out however you want where you would go, "Oh, I'm drafting on Yahoo. It's a super flex league where we
10:08start two wide receivers and one flex and we have six bench spots and then it will go through and tailor make
10:14everything for you for that format in particular.
10:19Okay, but like so here like an example if you go oh Superflex league I'm going to use Mason's rankings." You can see
10:25obviously Lamar, Josh Allen, Daniels, Burrow, May, Herz are all way, way higher. But long story short, you can either use the league that you have
10:35linked, select that, and flocky.com will do all the work for you. It will pull in all your league settings and automatically make the adjustments or
10:42you could manually fill out your league settings there if you don't have your league linked.
10:48Okay, now let's pull this over. Ryan says, "Hey, Mason, how many trade questions do you get if you get a season
10:55pass?" You get two free questions if you get the season pass with code flock.
11:00You'll get a free start sit question as well as a free trade question that you can ask me during the season. And then
11:05also, if you have the season pass, all future trade questions and start set questions would be discounted. So, I think it will like lower the price of a
11:14start set question or a trade question during the year if you have the season pass to like $3.50.
11:19But you'll get a free you'll get one free start set and one free trade.
11:24Okay, now let's see. Quinton Johnson off the board at 77. Super interesting to see this team at pick four go zero running
11:32backs for the first seven rounds.
11:37Crazy here.
11:40Okay, that goes 80. So this team at eight only has one running back and they have two QBs. Now their one running back
11:47is McAffrey. This has been an insane draft. I feel like I'm the only person here with a normal team. We'll take Alec
11:55Pierce as our fifth wide receiver.
11:58We've hammered running backs and wide receivers through the first seven rounds at this point. This team, oh my gosh,
12:06what is going on?
12:10They take Jaden Reed finally.
12:16My rankings have Addison and the Mahomes as the highest ranked names.
12:22I'm gonna be an idiot and I'm gonna pull up Patrick Mahomes. We're just gonna get our quarterback here.
12:28That team at 12 has four running backs, two QBs
12:39at tight ends, all before their first wide receiver.
12:44It doesn't matter if you're looking at an ESPN, a Yahoo, an underdog draft, not no format that's working on. Maybe if
12:54it's a point per carry superflex league, sure, by all means, go for it.
13:01But here with this, that is brutal. Um, now we have Godwin Worthy off 87 88.
13:18Dattle goes 89.
13:28Okay, Harvey makes it all the way down to 91. The team had Sutton, so it looks like they're building around the
13:32Broncos.
13:34Part of my break says, "Holy God, I just got Neighbors at 44."
13:39Unless we get like just a devastating update with Malik Neighbors. I feel like I have to take him in the fourth round
13:45every single draft. Now, where it gets interesting is in your regular reddraft league because like say in the flock league as an example, right, where six
13:54teams are going to make the playoffs and we don't necessarily need to think about the highest ceiling we possibly can get.
14:02um in the final three weeks we don't have to go up against hundreds of other teams, right?
14:08You're just going up against five other people. You don't need to have the craziest of all ceilings.
14:19Um [sighs] there I would push neighbors down further where it would be really scary to take neighbors at 38
14:34because you would be effectively just signing on for a zero halfway through the year and at the same time again we
14:40can't justify it by just saying oh the final three weeks that that ceiling is what matters most. So, like in the flock
14:47league specifically, like a regular reddraft format, we'll obviously have more information with the neighbors progress by the time we have to make
14:54that decision, but I would be less excited to take him in that kind of league as I would in underdog basketball
15:01draft. I think he's kind of made for this format.
15:05Now, we'll swing this around. I think y'all can pretty comfortably see who we want. My rankings have Jackson Dart as the highest rate name. High rankings
15:14have it as Dart, Harold Fannon, and then Jacobe Meyers. And yeah, we have Malik Neighbors. And we need a quarterback. So
15:21Jackson Dart is the auto pick. Not even a mention. We're currently rocking the Jackson Dart jersey. Now maybe you say, Mason, the team after you, they've
15:29already drafted um Lamar Jackson, Drake May, they can't take another quarterback. Why would you take Jackson Dart here at 107? Reason's real simple.
15:38The team after us has no idea what the hell they're doing.
15:42We're through the first eight rounds and their only wide receiver is Jaden Reid.
15:45And we prove that fact with what do they do at 108? They take their third quarterback with Jordan Love before their second wide receiver.
15:54So, thank God we took Jackson Dart where we did. Now, I'm going to go ahead and take my next highest ranked player,
15:59which is going to be Harold Fannon for my first tight end.
16:04But god, this is a good team. Now, we have Genty RB1, Kairen RB2. I really like to see it. Wide receiver, we have
16:12Justin Jefferson at one. We have Neighbors at two, Rome at three, Brian Thomas at four, Alec Pierce at five, we have Harold Fannon at tight ends, and
16:22then quarterback, we have an unstacked Mahomes, and we have Dart paired with Neighbors.
16:27Looking at the flockfantasy.com draft assistant, let me see what the math displays, it does look like three quarterbacks would be ideal. It looks
16:36like five or six running backs would be in play. probably want to be going with seven wide receivers and then we want to
16:43be going three tight ends. So, we'll see if we get that third quarterback fall into us. There is a world in which this
16:49draft just gets a little wacky where we don't get a third quarterback and instead we end up taking a sixth running
16:54back.
16:58Okay, now Harrison says, "Why a dart jersey Mason? You're not a New York guy, my friend. You want to see what is next
17:10to me right now on this desk?
17:13Do you have any idea the kind of mess that is in this office? Any idea what my current setup looks like?
17:24Right next to me, we also got the Tetero McMillan jersey. Carolina Panthers. Am I a Carolina guy? No. Right next to that,
17:33what else do we have? Oh, we got the Drake May jersey. You can see right here. What do we have right next
17:41to that? Oh, right next to that. I'm not a Cincinnati guy, but we got you a Joe Burrow jersey. What do we have right next to that one? Now,
17:53I am a team of destiny guy. And we got a team of destiny jersey here. A little bit lower quality. I'll give you that.
18:02But we got a team of destiny football jersey. Let's keep it moving. What What do we have next to that?
18:10What is this? We got a Jared Goff football jersey. I don't think we need to keep going. We can throw this pile
18:18right over.
18:20And what do we have next to that? We got an applesauce. Green screen's not going to let you see it, but you got to trust
18:25me. It's an applesauce. All right.
18:28Travis Kelce goes 124. It would have been nice to get Kelsey paired with Mahomes. It is what it is. We'll be able
18:32to move on.
18:34Okay, now let's swing this around. Tracy goes at 128.
18:46We'll see what this team does right ahead of us.
18:53Shahed goes 130.
19:00Okay, I don't even want to think about trying to predict what the team after us is going to do.
19:05We're going to take Isaiah likely because we have Jackson Dart.
19:08Technically, he's not my highest ranked name here. I have Stefon Diggs, Chris Rodriguez ranked ahead of him, but it is what it is. We have Dart. We're already
19:14in on this offense.
19:18Okay.
19:26What are you doing here, brother? I mean, you take Jaylen Naylor, I approve.
19:29You needed a wide receiver.
19:31What are we doing here after? Because Tyler Algier 133 is going to allow us to grab Chris Rodriguez as our third
19:39running back. And now that team at 12 is going for it. They are trying to get the worst live grade the Flockfantasy.com
19:49draft assistant has ever given out.
19:52They're doing their damn best to make that happen. They have Lamar May Love at quarterback. Running back Derk Henry, Chase Brown, Jacob Scat, Tyler Algier,
20:03wide receiver, Jaden Reed, Matthew Golden, Jaylen Naylor.
20:08About the worst grade I've ever seen.
20:11And we are only 12 rounds in. I expect that to possibly only get worse. We'll see. We'll see.
20:19Okay.
20:20Micah says, "How do I get into drafts with you? Do I need a season pass?" No, no, no. You don't need a season pass to
20:25sign up on underdog. The these are just underdog fantasy drafts. We do them every single night in the live stream.
20:30So, as long as you have an underdog account and you enter the draft at the same time as I do, you should be able to
20:34get into a draft with me, my friend. But the season pass is to help you with like your ESPN sleeper Yahoo league. Um, the
20:40season pass doesn't have anything to do with getting drafts of me on underdog.
20:45And yes, so y Matthew Golden for JN out.
20:48Vinnie says, "I've never seen an F. Is that even possible?" We'll see what this team at 12 ends up as. There's a chance
20:56they end up as an F. We don't know. It's too early to tell.
21:02Andrew says, "Why is the first team so bad?" Um I think the first team's better than the um Analyzer is giving it credit to be my
21:11guess on why it's grading out so poorly is just the massive reach on say Flowers at 24 and Tiggins at 25. You take
21:19Flowers and Higgins ahead of Pickkins, Rice, Devont Smith, McBride, and Bree, the draft grader is not going to love you.
21:28You reach on Jared Goff at 97.
21:33You reach on Pitman, like a lot of these guys, you're just going out and taking well ahead of ADP.
21:40Ryan says, "Hey Mason, I was wondering how much a trade question is. I could not find it on the site." If you go to
21:44the personal advice section on flockfantasy.com, you can submit um personal questions there. And a trade question, if you have no membership to
21:53flockasy.com, should be about $5 at the minimum. But if you have a season pass and you use code flock, you should have free trade
22:02question vouchers. So you can ask a question for free. We're going to take Isaiah Pacheco here. It's important that we backfill running back points.
22:09But yeah, so if you got the season pass and use code flock, you should have a free trade question voucher waiting for
22:15you as well that you can use. Okay, now Isaac Tesla off at 156.
22:24Jerry Judy goes, "My rankings have Britain Strange the highest ranked player. We need to take three tight ends anyway. Let's go ahead and do it."
22:34And that team at 12, their grade has not gone down. I mean, they go backtoback wide receiver. They reach on those guys
22:40heavily, but I mean they needed the wide receiver position.
22:44Okay, after we take Strange, we have Jawan Johnson. So, at this point, obviously, we are done ourselves taking tight end. So, it's really good
22:53to see these tight ends off the board.
23:00Okay, Jordan James goes 161. Did Jordan Jame What is going on in these drafts?
23:11Did news come out today about Jordan James?
23:20Please let me know.
23:24Like, am I just completely out of the loop here?
23:29Taji Spears off at 165.
23:36Jerry says, "Where are the drafts on Underdog?" If you go to the games section on Underdog, you'll see them there.
23:43So, I'll just pull up the underdog lobby real quick.
23:50Debo goes at 166. So, when you first open up underdog, it will show you the pick them.
23:57And if you want to see the drafts, if you're on desktop, you just hit drafts up here at the top left. And then you
24:04can hit NFL. And then you have all the NFL fantasy drafts like this is the one that we're in right now. If you're on
24:09the app, instead of the navbar being in the top left, it's at the bottom and you just hit games. So there's pick them and
24:16then there are games and drafts are in the game section.
24:20Okay.
24:25Now Aaron Rodgers 169 for that team's third QB. Mendoza goes 170.
24:32So there is a chance at this point. Now all of a sudden we're stuck at only drafting two options at quarterback
24:41because like we could go Gino if we really wanted. Obviously we don't have any Jets.
24:45If you really wanted to take Adai Mitchell you could do so but that's not me.
24:55Okay let's see. Matt says the drafts have been very interesting all day. I got Lamb and Jefferson in one. I I've heard
25:06plenty of y'all say that on the live streams that y'all been able to get Lamb and Jefferson together in a draft. That
25:12has not happened to me a single time this year. Dylan Samson goes, I have Alvin Kamar as my highest ranked player
25:17here. I think we're going to take him.
25:21Once we go Kamar at 179, draft assistance telling us we're done at running back.
25:29If we want to take a quarterback, this is our last shot. Do we want Gino? Do we want the third QB?
25:36We want QB at pick 86 and 107.
25:45No, we're not going to do so. The reason being is I I mean I maybe I'm just using my monkey brain. I really like Mahomes and
25:53Dart. I understand a lot of people are scared off Mahomes this year.
25:58I frankly don't care. He's Patrick Mahomes. It it's a lizard brain way of thinking, but the last time Patrick Mahomes got super cheap in
26:09drafts and I went, I don't care what the red flags are. He's Patrick Mahomes. I'm drafting as much of him as I can. We
26:15ended up with $141,000 of winnings that year.
26:21And I think we're just running it back with the same thing.
26:28Okay, K. goes 185.
26:32Ridley 186.
26:37Okay. Canary says, "I have a Lamb Jefferson neighbors basketball man Bania team. I'm really excited." I would be super excited about that as well if you
26:44got enough running back points with it.
26:47But yeah, and another thing is I think this team more than others with this type of wide receiver investment, we probably want to take the extra wide
26:55receiver because there's a good shot Neighbors isn't here at the beginning of the season.
27:08H I'm sorry about that. I thought I Let me know if y'all heard that. I tried muting the mic. I just realized that I
27:15probably muted the wrong microphone.
27:19So, your boy's not the smartest.
27:23Jeremy Bernard goes 192.
27:26Pat Fry Me 193.
27:30Jimmy Chungus says, "Are we catching a cold?" We are long um long past catching a cold.
27:37It has been caught and it's been a brewin.
27:42We've been battling this thing. I'm freaking going to war every single day with it.
27:47And that reminds me. Oh, I pray to God I got some Nyquil waiting for me after this. I haven't had to take Nyquil so
27:54far dealing with it, but tonight's feeling like a night. If I don't take it, it's going to be a miserable one.
28:02Okay, Brilen Allen goes 198.
28:06Steam takes their fourth running back with Kron Allen. Super interesting team here.
28:12Nicholas Singleton off.
28:16I guess if we really wanted to go with the third QB, we can take Brassette.
28:26We can go like a boring Cooper Cup.
28:32Let's take a boring Cooper Cup pick here just to possibly keep us alive when neighbor struggles early.
28:39And I was thinking we were going to get Brett on the way back around, but this Lamar May team takes Jacobe Brassette as
28:45their fourth QB. Dear God.
28:48With that in mind, we're going to pivot back over there. No, I'm not taking two.
28:51I have no idea how many games he's going to start. I would honestly rather just take a shot at one of the receivers.
28:57The guy I had been taking a lot of was Brandon, but we're going to pivot that over to Darnell Mooney and get him
29:03paired up with Dart and maybe he covers us for the lack of neighbors early.
29:09But let me show this team off. This team obviously hinges a lot on Mahomes being healthy, but right now Mahomes looks
29:17like a lock to play week one. We have Mahomes dart at quarterback. Wide receiver one, Jefferson. Wide receiver two, Neighbors. Wide receiver three,
29:26Rome. Four, Brian Thomas. Five, Alec Pierce. Six, Zachariah Branch. Seven, Cooper Cup. Eight, Darnell Mooney.
29:35Running back one, Genty. Running back two, Kairen. Running back three, Rodriguez. Running back four, Pacheco.
29:40Running back five, Kamar.
29:42Tied in one, we have Harold Fannon.
29:44Tight end two, Isaiah Likely. Tight end three, we have Britain Strange. So, we're going to get into another draft, but it's going to be a different one.
29:54These $5 puppy drafts I'm going to be ripping for weeks and weeks and weeks, right? As long as this tournament's open. We're going to be doing at least
30:01one of these every single night in the live stream. Most likely, we're going to do a ton of them every night on the
30:06stream. However, this draft also just dropped under underdog today and it's about to fill already. So, we kind of have to get in if we want to have a shot
30:17to draft any teams in this one. This is the $75 Bulldog.
30:24I'll show y'all the payouts, the structure, everything here. But first, let me see where we're going to be picking from.
30:31Okay, we're going to be at pick 10 in this one. Let me show y'all the payout structure. So, you're only allowed to
30:39draft two teams in this tournament. It's a $75 buyin.
30:43$100,000 in prizes. 20K goes to first, 10,000 goes to second, 5,500 to third, 4,000 to fourth. You can see all the
30:53prizes here.
30:55How you turn your 75 bucks into 20,000.
30:59It is way easier than turning your $5 into 200,000. and the $ five dollar puppy. Of course, it's a smaller field
31:06contest. You have to be a top three scoring team in your 12 team draft to make it to the fantasy playoffs. Then
31:12from there, in week 15, you have to play against five other people in a sixperson pod and you have to be a top two scoring
31:20team. Then in week 16, you have to be able to beat three other people. And then in week 17, you're going to go up
31:28against 30 people. And if you beat them, you turn your 75 bucks into 20k. So these are the tournaments I really enjoy
31:36doing because I don't want to say it's easy to win them, but smaller field contests like this I've managed to win.
31:44I've managed to have a multitude of finishes inside the top five and a ton of week 17 appearances. So,
31:53um, generally when there's a tournament like this on underdog, I really want to enter.
32:00Now, Sedor Mcander says, "Travis Hunter is huge." Now, I didn't see any Travis Hunter photos or anything that came out.
32:07Was there something that came out about Travis Hunter?
32:12Pull this out. I saw the Marvin Harrison photo.
32:18Okay.
32:22Let me move this over. Let me search Travis Hunter on Twitter. See if anything shows up.
32:29Okay, yeah, I don't see anything about Hunter.
32:42I mean, hopefully anything came out positive. Y'all know I have a ton of them. Um, McAffrey is going to be my
32:46highest ranked player. very rarely you're going to get the opportunity to take him at 10. So, we'll go ahead and do that. And when we get a fall like
32:53Macaffrey, who typically goes at pick six, seven, eight, all the way down at 10, what I'm typically doing on the way
32:59back is just clicking the top of ADP because I want the most unique combo I can get with McAffrey. I'll show you the
33:05actual math with this. McCaffrey teams get James Cook like 0.5% of the time.
33:10Saquon Barkley 40, I mean, sorry, 4.8%.
33:14Amari and Hampton 9.8%. 8% Kenneth Walker 12% Achan 8.6%. So really the unique picks would be James Cook or Barkley. I think we would kind of be
33:25forced to take either one of those guys if they were to fall. If neither one of these players fall, then I'm just going
33:29to go ahead and take my highest ranked player, which my highest ranked player in that case would be Devon Han. Like I
33:35am a Chan ahead of Barkley. But this team goes London. So there's a chance.
33:39Yeah, we're going to actually get a unique pairing. We're either going to get James Cook or Saquon Barkley here.
33:44Barkley goes. So, I mean, I already showed you all this. McCaffrey teams only have James Cook following to them 0.5% of the time. This is an absolute
33:56massive, massive opportunity here. It is very difficult to overstate how big of an opportunity we have right
34:07now.
34:09I'm sick, so I'm not going to do a backflip. I'm not going to jump up and down with joy. All right? I'm just going
34:13to shoot it to you straight. I do a lot of these drafts. What I really, really want to see in the early rounds is
34:22something that other people will have an incredibly difficult time replicating.
34:28The McCaffrey James Cook pairing is going to be just that.
34:35Again, I don't love taking McAffrey at pick seven or six myself. I draft a Monro St. round over him, which is why I
34:41haven't drafted much McAffrey. Hell, I haven't drafted that much James Cook either because typically he's around one pick and I'd rather have Genty. But when
34:50both of these players fall, they're absolute smash picks at 10 and 15. And we're just going to have to make sure we
34:55don't mess it up now. Like, we got lucky through the first two rounds. Let's see if we can hold on.
35:02Okay, Dylan says, "Hypothetically, if you have a bad year and win zero dollars, what would be your thoughts?" So, I've drafted on underdog fantasy every year
35:13for four seasons in terms of tournaments, and I've had a losing season before an underdog. I think I've maybe had two
35:22losing seasons and two winning seasons.
35:24But the expectation if you're doing large field tournaments like this, just think about it, right? Like the puppy is a $5 buy in, $200,000 to first place. If
35:35you enter into any of these tournaments, you need to have the understanding that the most likely outcome is you lose.
35:44It's nothing underdog related. It's nothing fantasy football related. It's the structure of large field tournaments. You can apply it to poker.
35:54It's the same thing.
35:57In large field tournaments, there will be a small number of people every year that win a lot of money.
36:05And there will be a large number of people every year that will lose a little bit of money.
36:11So you have to go into the season with the expectation that the most likely outcome is you lose. I'll pull up my
36:21results that we shared way back in early May for y'all.
36:28But I sat down and did all the math like going back over the past five years. Uh calculating all my entry fees,
36:39calculating all my winnings, all the buyins.
36:44So, the total buyins, the total winnings, the total profit and loss, and then I did this every season from 2021, I'm sorry, 2022 through 2025.
36:56And here were the numbers. So, last four years, we profited 127,000, but the vast majority of that came in
37:072022.
37:10And again, like it wouldn't Oh, crap.
37:14We're on the clock. My highest ranked player is Zay Flowers and we need a wide receiver, so it's a no-brainer to take
37:19him.
37:21But if I were to lose $5,000 in underdog drafts this next season, that wouldn't shock me at all. If anything, that's the
37:30most likely outcome. Like, I would 100% like I've been a profitable player for four years now. I just showed you all
37:37the math. I mean, we've broken it down before. It's kind of public data and also you've seen me win the tournaments.
37:43But if like a really good result of an underdog drafter hypothetically, even though we've had two profitable two
37:52years and two negative the years is if you lose hypothetic, and this is for high stakes drafters, right? I'm not talking about just people doing it for
38:01fun that are going to play $30 in drafts, right? Kind of different. But say like you enter $5,000 worth of drafts every year, right? You're a super
38:11high stakes drafter or you enter $3,000 of drafts every year.
38:16If you lose a,000 bucks every year for five years and then in year six you win 10K.
38:24That is like putting you in the top echelon of drafters. And that is like one of the best results you can possibly
38:30have. We're going to take Malik Neighbors here again in these tournaments. I'm swinging for the fences. I'm trying to have the highest
38:37ceiling possible. I'm understanding that the most likely outcome is we lose our $75, but I want to make a pick that's
38:43going to put me in the range where in the final three weeks I have the upside to take down first place and get the
38:4920,000.
38:52Okay. Brandon says, "Were most of the winnings from the big dog both positive years?" Yes. So, most of my winnings and
38:58most of my losses at this point are from the big dog draft tournament because the big dog draft tournament is where you
39:04can get the most entries in, right?
39:07Because like the $5 puppy drafts, I do a ton of them on underdog because I think they're a lot of fun. They give me a ton
39:12of practice for not only the Flockly draft, but also like my high stakes big dog drafts on Underdog. But say like I
39:20do in the month of August 10 big dog drafts and I do a hundred puppy drafts.
39:27You go through and look at the math.
39:29That's $5,000 in the big dog versus 500 bucks in the puppy drafts. So naturally, most of both my buyins as well as my
39:39winnings, which obviously is going to directly mean my profit or loss, is going to come from the big dog tournament, just because that's by far
39:48and away where we put the most money down every year. It's hard to contextualize until you like actually look down and do all the math, but
39:58those $500 drafts are just exponentially more important for your profit and loss when you're like doing them how I am in
40:07comparison to the $5 drafts, which I mean, it's kind of obvious, but it's worth saying out loud.
40:14Now, Devonte Adams off the board at 49.
40:19DeAndre Swift goes 50.
40:24David McGomery off 51.
40:29Ryan says, "Why not Josh Allen there?"
40:31Um because when we start running back, running back, I am extremely inclined to go wide receiver, wide receiver at the 34 turn.
40:40Okay. Matt says, "What percentage of your drafts make the finals, do you think?"
40:46Uh, it just depends on the tournament, right? Every tournament is so unique with the amount of total teams drafted versus teams in the finals
40:57that it would honestly be impossible for me to even figure that out.
41:03Okay, now we'll swing this around. Let's see what Vinnie does.
41:12Okay, what are you doing here, brother?
41:15goes Carnell Tate. Judkins is my highest ranked player. I have it Judkins, Roma Dunce, then Brian Thomas. ADP has it Judkins, DJ Moore, Rome. But we'll take
41:26Judkins at 58.
41:29This team after us already has three running backs. So, I mean, there's no way we are getting Judkins on the way
41:34back around regardless.
41:37Jersey J says, "You suck, Mason. See, you lost more hair." Thank you, Jersey Jay. And let me blow up this profile
41:44picture so we can all admire how good-looking Jersey Jay is here.
41:51Jersey Jay, my friend, you're right. I do suck.
41:58My hairline clearly is not as good as yours. I'm clearly not as handsome or as successful as you are. Because on your
42:05profile picture, you don't just have one star. You don't just have two stars. You don't just have three. Hell, you don't
42:13even just have four. You have five whole stars, man.
42:19And when I see somebody with five stars in their profile pick, you know what I think? Damn, that's someone I got to
42:27take serious.
42:29That's someone I got to value their opinion. That's someone that has their life together.
42:36That's Oh, especially blowing up your photo. I makes me feel even worse because when I look at an absolute Chad like you and I
42:47have to turn off this live stream, crawl into my bed, cry, and honestly probably get nightmares
42:58of you coming into my room shirtless, guns ablazing, biceps popping out of that suit jacket.
43:06It scares me, right? I'm a beta boy. I'm a I'm a small child with with a bad hairline. It It is sad.
43:17Um Riner says he has a family. I mean, he does have a family that I'm I'm assuming that's another reason he's
43:24better than me. I My family is a puppy at this point.
43:28How am I supposed to say anything?
43:31Okay.
43:35Let's pull this. Air Jeff says, "Bulldog's going so fast since it dropped." Yeah, that's why I wanted to get it in. Like I
43:44honestly like the second that I saw the puppy drafts drop, I figured we were just going to rip three puppies in this
43:48live stream, but like I loaded on to Underdog right before the stream. I was like, the Bulldog literally dropped a couple hours
43:57ago and this thing's about to fill. So, it's like either I get in the drafts now or I'm just simply not going to be able
44:02to get them in. Okay, let me refresh this to see what the live grades are.
44:07Okay, let me swing this around. Um, we have a pretty good grade here considering we go running back, running back. So, so far, running back one, we
44:16have McCaffrey. Running back two, we have James Cook. Running back three, we have Quinn Sean Judkins.
44:22Wide receiver, we have Flowers, Neighbors, and Rome. So, it's a very, very low floor wide receiver room, but at the same time, I do think it's a very
44:32high ceiling wide receiver room. I would actually probably like this team a little bit more in the $5 puppy tournament as opposed to the $75 Bulldog
44:42just because it's a little bit of a smaller field contest, so you don't need to just chase the highest ceiling you
44:47could possibly get. But, I still feel fine about it.
44:51Okay, now let me pull this around. And yes, I see
45:00people in the chat.
45:03Type in season pass. I will remind y'all the season pass giveaway is currently live.
45:10If you wanted to potentially win a flockfantasy.com season pass, just got to do two things to get added to this list. We'll give it away at the end of
45:17this stream. One, drop a like on this live stream and two, go ahead and type the word season pass into the live chat.
45:28Those two things will enter you to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass.
45:34Alec Pierce goes 81. Um, Dak makes it to us. We don't have a Dakprescott stack.
45:40He is my highest ranked player, though.
45:44We're going to take Courtland Sutton instead, who's my highest ranked non-QB.
45:48Couple different things happening. One, the team after us only has a Bua and Brian Thomas at receiver. So, a very real chance they have to go wide
45:56receiver, wide receiver at the turn. The second thing is this team at 12 has Josh Allen and Drake May. Sean 12 probably
46:03can't take another QB. So, there is a real world scenario in which we actually get Dak Prescott making it to us at 87.
46:11And in a large field contest, not I probably wouldn't take him. Wouldn't really want that quarterback not stacked. But here in a smaller field
46:19contest like this one, I'm okay having an unstacked Dak Prescott.
46:25Okay, now let's pull this over. Stephen says, "Love the channel, Mace. Are you going to do weekly winners?" Um, I'm going to
46:33be honest with you, the weekly winners tournament on Underdog I I'm just not a fan of. like I have have a proven track
46:40record of being extremely successful in these drafts. Um, both from an advance rate and winning tournament perspective and just total profit loss. Um, and I
46:50feel very comfortable with my regular underdog 2026 fantasy football draft strategy. However, when it comes to the weekly winners tournament, I have no
47:00idea what to do. Literally not the smallest of an idea.
47:05So, I would not I mean I'm sure there are people and this is another reason why I don't want to do
47:12them. I am positive there are people in those draft lobbies that know what they're doing that are better than I am at the weekly
47:24winners. And if I were to go ahead and enter, I am just gonna get a beatdown put on me. So,
47:33I I I don't know how to draft in that, so I'm just not going to to be honest.
47:39Okay, let's pull this around. Dak Prescott goes 87.
47:47Lago says, "How do you get an edge if tons of people are using your rankings?"
47:52Very good question. I honestly think my edge at this point is not drafting any completely dead teams. Like even when we
47:59have a really weird start where we go like zero running backs the first five rounds, finding a way to navigate the
48:05later rounds where we still at least give that team a chance.
48:10Um so every team we draft has a structure in which it can advance, it can make the finals, it can potentially win a
48:18tournament having zero dead teams. And then also I never autodraft any teams.
48:26Like every team I draft I am in. And you know almost every draft that you do on the live stream it's a little bit different
48:36because everybody's engaged. Everybody's entering at the same time. But if you hop into like a regular underdog draft at 3 PM, there's going to be like one
48:44team in there that has a garbage garbage construction. one team in there that's completely autodrafting and you're like, "Oh, okay. Well, they're paying the
48:53rake." You know, I think as long as we make sure that we have a strong construction with every team that we
48:59draft, some will be better than others, of course, but we will have no dead teams.
49:05It doesn't It's maybe not ideal if other people have my rankings, but also the amount of people that have my rankings
49:13versus that draft teams on underdog, very slim.
49:17Okay, now let's pull this over. And oh, we have an update from Jersey Jay. And he's even better looking than I thought.
49:29We'll get to you in a second, Jersey Jay. This team at 12 has a really low score. Guess I don't know why it's that
49:36bad. Um, we're going to take Jackson Dart. Very similar to what we did in the last draft where we took Patrick Mahomes
49:41and Jackson Dart when we add Malik Neighbors in round four. It's kind of going to be a no-brainer to do it here.
49:46I will be more inclined, however, to go with the third quarterback in this draft tournament specifically because again, smaller field contest. So, I don't think
49:56we need the same level ceiling at wide receiver that we would in the puppy.
49:59Now, when we have Dak and Dart, we have so much production at quarterback that well, maybe we take a third. I'm not
50:06necessarily wanting to take Kyler. I'm not necessarily wanting to take Jordan Love. Like, I'd rather go with the safer pick here in this range. Gainwell goes
50:15at 108s.
50:17Romeo dos off. Perfect. It's going to give us either Jacobe or Rashad White.
50:21Kyler Murray goes. So, we're gonna get Jacobe Meyers here as our wide receiver five.
50:27Now, drum roll, please, everybody.
50:31We didn't even have to do it. We didn't even have to ask. He did it for us.
50:36You come to this live stream for a multitude of things. One, so you can hear my voice struggling through a cold.
50:43tube. Sometimes I show you a picture of a puppy, which actually I may have a puppy picture I can show you in one
50:48second, but none of that matters as much to revisit our friend Jersey J because he's giving you a little spice in the
50:58live stream tonight. Um, sadly, I I never am shirtless on the Flock Fantasy YouTube channel. That's kind of situated only for the Flock League YouTube
51:08channel. It's a little too spicy for me here. It's not too spicy for Jersey Jay, though. And I know the audience wants
51:14it. So, we have him in here taking his shirt off for us. Not only taking his shirt off for us, but also flexing for
51:22the world to see. And let me go ahead and let's see this.
51:29Pretty solid, my friend. Pretty good looking. Now, um what is even more impressive about this photo? Um while yes, I still do suck. I agree with you
51:40there 100%. Right. Nobody disagreed with you on that. We agreed with you from the very beginning. Um, it's more impressive than the shirtless photo is the wall of
51:50trophies behind you.
51:52Like this is what I'm here for. So like yes, nipples look scrumptious, right?
51:59Like beautiful nipples, my friend.
52:01Really cool necklace, too. I like the jewelry that you have when you took your shirt off for us. So jewelry beautiful.
52:08Um, nipples look really good.
52:12I like the smile is pretty cute, too.
52:14I'm not going to lie. You have a You have a pretty smile. Bracelets. I mean, here's the thing, man. Your accessory
52:21game, 10 out of 10. It's A+, right? If I could rock the accessories like you do.
52:28I would. But I don't have that game. I don't have that hairline. I freaking suck. You already said it, man. I KNOW.
52:35GOD DANG IT. I suck.
52:37But if I didn't suck, I could also have trophies.
52:42If I didn't suck, I could also have those accessories, that those necklaces, those bracelets.
52:51And God, I'm jealous, my friend. I'm jealous.
52:57Okay, now let's pull this over. And we are on the clock yet again. and we're gonna take Jake Ferg because we took an
53:07unstacked Dak Prescott. Obviously, Dak doesn't have a ton of rushing upside, so I'd prefer to stack him up. Um, smaller field contests like this, like I said,
53:14we can justify it where we can say like, "Oh, okay. We don't need to have stacks.
53:19We don't need to have the highest ceiling possible like we would in the puppy drafts, but still ideal, especially when we don't have a tight
53:25end yet." Um, taking Jake Ferg here to pair with Dak Prescott's kind of a no-brainer. Now, let me pull this around. My highest ranked player is
53:32Stefon Diggs. Again, I'm trying to draft a ton of digs, especially now that I completely lost his mind. Um, Shakir digs both go. Now, my highest ranked
53:42player is Travis Hunter.
53:47Coker's 10 spots higher in ADP. Maybe you justify taking a quarterback here. I like Travis Hunter, so I'm going to take
53:52Travis Hunter. I'm a simple man. Okay, now let's pull this back over.
54:00Okay, so now running back one, we have Christian McCaffrey. Running back two, James Cook. Running back three, Quinn Shawn Judkins. I think it's a very solid
54:12running back room. Quarterback, we have Dak Prescott stacked with Jake Ferguson.
54:17I like it. We also have Jackson Dart stacked with Malik Neighbors. I like that as well. wide receiver. We didn't get the top end production, but we were
54:25able to attack the position with quantity over quality. We have Z Flowers wide receiver 1, Neighbors 2, Rome
54:36three, Courtland Sutton four, Jacobe Meyers 5, Travis Hunter six. Interesting to have Meyers and Hunter together. I mean, if y'all remember, we had the
54:46Brian Thomas trade rumors and oh my gosh, you know what would have made me the happiest man on the planet?
54:52genuinely over the moon with enjoyment.
54:55It's hard for me to imagine what that would be like right now because again, your boy's struggling with this cold god
55:01knows what it is. I probably should have gone to urgent care today, but is if Brian Thomas would have got traded to
55:06the Buffalo Bills. If that would have happened, it would have been a good fantasy football season. But maybe that dream's not dead. Maybe this team that takes
55:16Jacobe as well as Travis Hunter. We're hoping we get a little Brian Thomas Jr.
55:20to the Buffalo Bills action. Obviously, super unlikely that happens. Now, Ian says, "Hey, Mason, how long does it take to get the best tool after using Code
55:28Flock to sign up on Underdog?" Um, so Underdog sends me a CSV with all the email addresses that signed up to
55:36underdog fantasy with Code Flock every morning from the day prior. I then take that CSV, upload it to flockfantasy.com.
55:43It runs, checks, see if there are any accounts that have matching email addresses. If your um email address matches on both, then you get hooked up
55:50with the free best stuff, my free basketball rankings, free basketball draft assistant, the whole nine yards on flockfantasy.com.
55:58Now, I'm going to be honest here as I am sick. I may or may not have forgotten to upload that CSV this morning. So, if you
56:05signed up underdog yesterday with Code Flock, um you will be with the batch that gets uploaded tomorrow morning. I am very sorry that I did not do that.
56:13I'm I'm I know I'm putting together a pretty good performance here. I know we got Christian McCaffrey and James Cook in this draft, but you got to believe
56:20me. You got to give me a little bit of slack here struggling with this cold.
56:25I'll get you set up tomorrow. And if it was well before that that you signed up with code flock, I'm shooting email to
56:32supportflockfantasy.com.
56:34That way you can get some help there.
56:35Um, I'm going to take Bryce Young. Let me just look at the draft assistant real quick. Yeah, the draft assistant does
56:40tell us that it's ideal for us to take three quarterbacks. And again, smaller field contests like this in comparison to the puppy. I'm actually going to be
56:48more inclined to go three QBs myself.
56:51Okay. Rival says, "I signed up two weeks ago and still don't have it. The most likely reason was that you didn't have
56:57an email address matching on flockfantasy.com at the time that I sent I mean I uploaded the CSV." So, if that's the case, just email
57:04supportflocky.com and we can go through and retroactively check to see if you signed up to underdog, see if you have a matching
57:11account, and then manually add that for you. now my friend.
57:15Okay, now let's pull this over. Kenyan Sadique off. We're gonna have Jawan Johnson as my highest ranked player. Pretty easy pick to take Jawan Johnson. We only have
57:27Jake Ferg at tight end. So, we'll go ahead and rip him here.
57:32Okay, Ethan says, "Hey, Mason, would you help me out? Would you rather have Bejon and Kyle Manungai or Acham and a Buuka?"
57:38I think that this is an incredible question here, my friend. I'm going to assume that this is a reddraft question.
57:44And if so, this is the first 2026 fantasy football trade question that I have seen all year.
57:53So, I'm going to do something I am so excited to do every single night during the season. I'm going to toss it to the
58:01live chat. Chat, please let me know.
58:06Would you rather have Bjon and Cal Manungai or Devon Achan and Abbuka?
58:16Bjan and Mcnungai or Aan and Ibuka.
58:20Please let me know.
58:24Okay, let's see.
58:32Bejon easy achan whatever is happening freaking bejon is
58:41being translated on my overlay to sesame I can't even comprehend why that would happen um
58:57a chan a chan bjan bej a chan jersey j and a chan Um, be jean bjan. A chan a chan a chan.
59:08I would say if it's a like it's honestly going to depend on your league settings a bit for me. If it's like your regular
59:15yahoo or your regular ESPN draft where you only start two wide receivers in a flux and the wide receiver depth doesn't
59:21matter much there. I'm just going to go with the best player in Bejon. However, if it was like a Oh, I'm sorry. I got to sneeze.
59:30Okay. It's not. It's Oh, God. Please come out of me. Sneeze. Please, God.
59:36Okay. God's not going to bless me with a sneeze. But if it was more like a deeper starting lineup where you start three
59:42wide receivers and two flex spots, full PBR format, then in that case, I would definitely value the Igbuka side just because value over replacement compared
59:49to the waiverwire is going to be a hell of a lot better.
59:54Lee says, "Creators put out a lot of acher, so the sheep are hating him." My friend, I'm gonna be honest. Devon Han's
60:02going to be my most drafted player inside the first three rounds of fantasy drafts this year. I know everybody in their mom hates Han. I get it. I
60:10understand why. And I mean, their arguments make a ton of sense.
60:15But I think the amount of regression people are pricing in, honestly, probably if they've taken it a little too far.
60:26Okay.
60:30Now AJ Barner off 175.
60:35Let me look at the math.
60:37So draft assistance telling us makes the most sense to take two more running backs, one more wide receiver, and one more tight end.
60:48Uh my rankings have Hawinson as the highest ranked player. So we're going to go ahead and take TJ Hawinson here at
60:52178.
61:00What else are we going to get at 183?
61:11Antonio Williams goes 179.
61:17Emit Johnson goes 180.
61:23So, we only need one more receiver and we're going to draft two more running backs. I think wide receiver is a hell
61:28of a lot weaker on our team than a running back is. So, I'd almost rather take the wide receiver at 183 and then
61:34just go two running backs in the final two rounds.
61:39While I have Zachariah Branch ranked ahead of Calvin Ridley, I think I'd rather go with the old crusty wide receiver here on a team where we already
61:46have a lot of young upside and also injured upside with Travis Hunter and Malik Neighbors. So, instead of taking Zachariah Branch, I think we're going to
61:53take Calvin Ridley and then we'll queue up two running backs to end this. But, um, let me swing this around and I will
62:03also remind y'all last chance probably I know typically we get three drafts in on the live stream.
62:11I'm a freaking professional so I you probably haven't heard this yet, but I'm sick. So, we're going to cut it a little
62:17bit short here so I can try to rest up, try to get to bed. Um, so again, last chance to enter in to get a free
62:23flockfantasy.com season pass. All you got to do is type season pass into the live chat and drop a like on the stream.
62:29Um, and then we'll go ahead and get you added this list and we'll spin the wheel. Let me set that up. And as I do,
62:36I'll remind y'all that, let me show y'all this, too. The draft sheets have officially dropped on flockfantasy.com.
62:43they are going to continuously get improved and iterated, but you'll have both the draft sheets and your draft assistance for your sleeper, your ESPN,
62:53etc., etc., etc., um, your Yahoo leagues. But if you haven't seen already, just go over to flockfantasy.com. You go through and put
63:02in your exact league settings here, right? one quarterback, two wide receivers, one flex, six bench spots, and then you can go through and see
63:11custom draft sheets that take into account the ADP of the platform that you're drafting on, your league settings, um, the rankings for these
63:19settings as well. Um, but yeah, this is live as is. If you have a season pass, you should be able to access that.
63:27Should get a hell of a lot better over the coming days or weeks as well. And let me copy the names. We'll swing this around and
63:38give away a free season pass.
63:41Let's spin this wheel. Let's see what we got.
63:48Okay, KJ Lifts. KJ Lifts, if you're in the chat, please let me know your vlogfantasy.com username and I'd be super happy to set you up with a free
63:59season pass.
64:02Okay, now we need to go through and take our fourth and fifth running backs.
64:10Gino falls considerably in this one.
64:12We're past two pick 200 and go still on the board. We'll take Mike Washington as the clear handcuff in Las Vegas.
64:20Jacobe goes 203.
64:24I like the Kron Allen pick, too, because I think there is a world in which Kron Allen just the straight up starter and
64:29Washington by the time we get to week eight.
64:36Kan Booty goes 204, Tyreek Hill off 205, Kron goes um we'll just take Marian Lloyd ET. I don't think we need to try
64:46to get super unique here with it being a smaller field contest, but Let me see if there's anything else to discuss. Yeah, he hasn't showed up yet.
64:57So, we're just going to kill a little more time. I'll remind you we're drafted on underdog yada yada yada. Link in the
65:02description and season pass two. If y'all um just want to guarantee yourself that you get it, you have the rankings
65:12all season long. trade calculator, my team's page, access to not only everything I put on the site, but everything all your favorite YouTube
65:20creators put on the site, and on top of this, get draft assistance for your sleeper, Yahoo, um, ESPN leagues. It's all on flockfantasy.com. You get set up
65:30with everything for only 34 bucks with the season pass right now. Can't guarantee that this price lasts forever, but it's definitely the price right now.
65:38And if you use code flock when you sign up to the season pass on flockfantasy.com, you'll also get free questions that you can ask me during the
65:46season like start sit and trade questions as well.
65:50But um I think that's all I have for y'all. And I see um Jose asking how he got a bad grade at pick 12. Um, I can
66:01very clearly see that at pick 12, my friend. Big problem that you had is you only have Isaiah likely and Hunter Henry
66:08at tight end. You for sure needed to go through and you needed to take another tight end. Um, probably instead of the
66:14sixth running back, you should have taken a third tight end there. Um, but I think that's all I got for y'all. I
66:21really appreciate you and I really hope I get to see you in the live stream tomorrow night. And I really hope I'm
66:26not sick tomorrow
