0:00What's going on, guys? It's Nick here back with another video. Time for my favorite video of the offseason, camp news. I'm going over every single team,
0:07the most important bit of news that we need to know. We're going to do this every single Saturday moving forward to
0:12make sure we stay on top of the latest news and are drafting players at the appropriate spots as their value changes. Uh, if there's one video you
0:21watch every single week, make it be this one. All right, going to be a long one.
0:24Sit back, hit the like button. Start things off. The Arizona Cardinals. Um, no like concrete news, but there's tons of rumors for Arizona. So, people don't
0:34love that Marv keeps dropping passes.
0:36There's tons of clips circulating the internet right now of him dropping like wide openen passes. That doesn't look great given what we've seen the last two
0:43years. Uh, but then also, coaches have really been talking up Michael Wilson.
0:47Uh, they've compared him to Puka and Robert Woods. Um, given also what we saw last season, what we've seen from clips
0:54from training camp, I don't know. Like I don't think we start drafting Michael Wilson ahead of Marv. But for me when we
1:01look at this offense and we say it's got like the hardest schedule I've ever seen. I mean truly Arizona has a brutal
1:07schedule. The fact that they're probably more than likely I would say like 80 90% chance going to have Carson Beck starting later in the season in the
1:14fantasy playoffs and this like thing we have with Marv of being a very talented player but he can't catch the football
1:21and it's just always something wrong for his production to just fall off. I don't know. I think we got to back off Marv a
1:27little bit. I think we got to start taking Michael Wilson a little bit higher, but I don't think they should flip each other in the rankings just
1:32yet. The other thing, probably the bigger thing I would say here is there really seems to be some legs around Algier splitting work. I mean, he's
1:41splitting the first team reps right now.
1:43That I wouldn't put too much stock behind. I mean, it's like opening days of camp. We see all the time that
1:48rookies do not open the day as a day one starter. um that it kind of like, you know, they ramp up throughout camp and
1:54he'll like love will be the start. That that's not really the question here. Um but numerous reports that Alier is going
2:02to have a role and it seems like they're kind of heading for the same split that they had in Atlanta in Bejon's rookie
2:09season. So Bjon and Algier split a lot in that rookie season. Bejian had 214 carries. Alier had 186 in that year.
2:18Bejun had a little over 1450 yards, eight touchdowns, running back 16 in adjusted points per game. Love right now is 13th by ADP. So, you're still getting
2:26that discount. I think that's the one thing I don't want people to panic too much and see these reports, see a split
2:30uh maybe see them move closer in projected uh carries because we know that Alier won't catch passes. I don't want people to be too concerned from
2:37that standpoint. Like you're not you're drafting him in the third round right now like the round two three turn and I've seen him slip a lot. I drafted him
2:43last night at pick 30 I think. like we're starting to get closer to the round 34 turn at times if he's going to
2:51go as running back 16. That's exactly what Bejan did in his rookie season even with the split. Um I will say I think
2:57Bejian was the higherend prospect.
2:59Number one and number two again like I said brutal schedule for Arizona. Um I don't know. I think we need to see
3:07Love's ADP fall. I think he's probably gonna fall behind Hall and behind Kairen. I think that's probably correct at this point, but I don't think it
3:13should crater. In Atlanta, not much. Uh, Zachariah Branch getting a lot of hype.
3:17You guys know I really like him as a prospect. Uh, fact of the matter is though, he's an exciting player. Uh, but
3:23they're going to run a ton of heavy personnel set. So, he's not going to see the field a ton. Probably more of a
3:27gadget player. Uh, someone who you like on underdog maybe can have some spiked weeks in round like 17 or 18, but if
3:32he's going to get hyped up into round like 14 or 15, that's not great. In a reddraft league, you're probably just
3:38not going to even get that late in the draft. you're not even going to be among the wide receivers in that range. So,
3:43probably not going to be touching him much this season, but um really good news in the heavy sets for Bejan London
3:48Pit. It seems like everything's going to be centered around them. Uh quarterback situation though really puts a damper on everyone's outlook. It does not look
3:56good uh in Atlanta for quarterback situation. Uh in Baltimore for the Ravens, truly nothing that moves the needle. Lamar looks good. He looks
4:03healthy. He's probably going to run for a ton of yards this season. We just talked about him in the video yesterday.
4:07Uh, but we knew that was going to happen and there's no real actual news behind that. There's some stories around the
4:12wide receivers, but you're not drafting any of the wide receivers that are not Z Flowers anyways, so who cares? Uh, Buffalo Bills positive reports on DJ
4:20Moore. So, the connection between Josh Allen, DJ Moore seems to be off to a good start. We talked about this maybe
4:26like a week ago in a video where I was like it was really bad for DJ Moore last season. But there's reasons to be
4:32optimistic this year going to Buffalo just in the difference between Caleb and Josh Allen. Not only from a talent standpoint, but from the fact that like
4:40DJ Moore was in the sacrificial X role and Caleb was asked to play within the system. And so there were never really a
4:46lot of plays where it was like Caleb is creating on his own. We're just like trying to find someone downfield. That's
4:51like all Josh Allen does. Josh Allen is the offense. He's great at scrambling, keeps his eyes open way downfield, like way way downfield uh when he is
5:00scrambling. And DJ Moore is a talented enough wide receiver even at this point in his career to get open on these
5:06scrambles. So, I'm much more optimistic about Moore um than last season. You have to be because the cost goes way up.
5:12Um but I'm optimistic and the the early reports in camp are very good. Uh doesn't really have much competition to be that top target. So, I think he's
5:20going to probably have a good year.
5:21Anytime you draft Josh Allen on underdog, which he's slipping a lot. I'm starting to get a ton of him. He's already my number one quarterback. I
5:27just got him at like 45 or something yesterday. Like, it's getting ridiculous how low ADP is. It becomes very easy to
5:34draft Allen and DJ Moore. And that's a very high weekly upside stack. So, I'm getting that one a lot more. Um, like it
5:40more in underdog than reddraft, though.
5:42Um, but I'll still take DJ Moore in all formats. Uh biggest one I would say there is I might be wrong on the James
5:49Cook receptions thing. So I'm not wrong in the sense that it has occurred historically. James Cook, if you look at his receptions, he's basically Jonathan
5:56Taylor. Like he he basically like doesn't get them in receptions in games that they've been trailing, been losing.
6:01They do not use him in the receiving game. But uh Pete Carmichael has been vocal um at times in the off offseason,
6:07but definitely more recently and into camp about getting James Cook more receptions and about throwing to the running backs more often. And I think
6:14there's more weight behind that now. Um, not only because I mean he's saying it now in camp, it seems like it's coming
6:19to fruition, but also when we think about Carmichael where he's been, New Orleans and Denver, he's been under Shawn Payeyton, um, offensive
6:26coordinator of the Shawn Payeyton teams where they're throwing the ball a ton of running backs. I mean, Shawn Payeyton, um, we've talked about in recent
6:32seasons, it's like a gold mine in fantasy if you consolidate on one running back. It's unfortunate in Denver at times we've had, you know, a split
6:39back or three running backs involved and it's harder in fantasy. Well, that's not really the case in Buffalo. If they're actually going to throw to James Cook a
6:46lot more this season, well, we know he's going to crush it on the ground. We know the touchdown upside is there. We've
6:50only been lacking the receptions. I mean, if those come now, we could be talking about him as a running back for
6:57I think now at this point um um after this video, um I'm going to flip him over Genty. I think you have to put
7:02James Cook over Genty if this is a possibility. Um there's a discussion to be had um because obviously it's Gibbs then Bejon then McCaffrey. I don't think
7:11you touched that. There's a discussion to be had if it's JT or Cook if we're going to have these receptions. I still
7:17think I want to have JT at that next spot, but with running back being so important. I mean, are we getting into a
7:23world where it's like you add in James Cook right in that discussion with Jonathan Taylor and say if you have that
7:29mid uh first round pick, you're going running back. You're just not going with these Aman Raw, Lamb, Jefferson, even JSN at times. and you're just saying, "I
7:38have so many options to take Gibbs or Bejan or McAffrey or JT or Cook and they're all such slam dunk picks. Just
7:44get them. If any of them are on the on the um the board, just draft one of them." I feel like that's probably the
7:48move this season. Uh again, James Cook going up. I'll draft him more. Now, uh Panthers uh Brazil uh tore his LCL, but
7:56he is still done for the season. So, not ACL, but still going to be done for the year. Uh you weren't drafting him,
8:00obviously. He was not someone I was high on personally, but he opened up the offense. That's one disappointing thing you have here is he wasn't going to be
8:08good in fantasy. I just I don't think he's that great a prospect, but he was going to run downfield a ton and open
8:12things up for T and for Coker. Well, if that's not happening anymore, it just makes their job a little bit harder. So,
8:17I do think like it's it's a net neutral probably slightly more condensed target share because Lega 39 get stinks. Um but
8:25maybe lower efficiency because they really did like Brazil as that like deep threat stretching the field, terrifying safeties, opening everything up. Well,
8:34if that's not going to happen anymore, um you not only can't move T inside as much, uh you have him running harder
8:40routes on the outside. Things aren't opened up as much. It's tougher for him.
8:43Uh but maybe the couple extra targets he's now going to get kind of makes up for that inefficiency. Uh Chicago, a few
8:49things. So, one, where's Manungai? He's not out there right now, and there's no reporting. Like, all all we know is he's
8:55not out there. I don't know why. Is he sick? Is it just something minor? Does it not matter? I don't I literally have
9:02no idea. So, continue watching that.
9:04Again, I record this video uh around noon, a little bit before noon right now. Uh so, if something comes out Friday afternoon, noon on Friday. Um I
9:12don't know about it. So, we're up to noon on Friday. And I still don't know where the heck Manungai is.
9:19So, we'll see. I don't want to draft him aggressively anyways. And this is a concern. So, if you're drafting underdog right now, pause button a little bit on
9:26Manungai. Uh but we just don't know. Uh bigger news, I would say. Uh we've been talking about figuring out who the one
9:32is, right? And not that the other guys aren't going to be involved, but if there's one player that's going to get
9:37all the targets or like going to be the most targeted player in Chicago, we want them in fantasy and they're a mustdrive
9:42player. I've been talking about Coulson Loveland as that guy. I think that is the most likely. I'm starting to think that less and to think it might be
9:51Burden. The reports for Burden out of camp are insane. like a ridiculous amount of hype from coaches, from players, not from Burden. It's not him
10:02going out there and hyping himself. It is Caleb, it is Adun, it is uh Ben Johnson. It is everyone on this team
10:07being like, "Yep, Burden is legit. He's incredible. They're targeting him a ton.
10:13Like, he's an incredible pick. Um I'm going I I moved him up a little bit yesterday to account for this news. Um,
10:20I'm gonna continue doing drafts and just make sure that Burden is at a spot where you are getting him consistently. And I
10:26think that means pushing him over Coulson Loveland in the rankings. Uh, and just making sure, you know, when you're in that general spot that he
10:34goes, he's always a top wide receiver.
10:36Uh, cuz man, if because he's so talented, the yards return are crazy last season. He's electric with the ball in his hands. if he's the guy they're
10:43also feeding targets to, my goodness, he could be a wide receiver one easily and you're getting him at such a discount.
10:49Uh, so probably if the these reports continue, probably going to be a monster trap player, probably going to be on a
10:54ton of my teams, but we'll see. I still love Coulson Loveland. I still think he's going to be great. Truly, there's
10:59very positive vibes for this entire offense. I I mean like up and down.
11:02Anyone on the field, not my own guy, anyone on the field, like even a Dunay is getting hype. It looked at the foot
11:07injury is totally fine. truly with how hard their schedule is, with how talented these players are, and how good the system is, buy Chicago. I really
11:14just think they're going to drop a nuke this season. I want Caleb, I want a Dunay, I want Loveland, I really want
11:20Burden given these reports right now.
11:23Uh, other team I really want the Bengals, Chase Brown. I mean, the reports are very positive right now, and it it makes
11:30sense from numerous perspectives, but when you have Joe Burrow going out there and being like, "Chase Brown is a featured running back capable of pass
11:38blocking, receiving, running. He should be on the field every play." What do you think? The offensive coordinator is going to be like, "Nah, take a seat,
11:44Chase Brown." Chase Brown's great. He's a featured running back. I still don't think like I I think right now it's still Squan, Ken Walker, then Chase
11:53Brown, and then Hampton. But I feel very good about Chase Brown instead of Hampton right now or over Hampton right now. And because there's also very
11:59positive reports about Ken Walker, I just think you got to go running back in that range. Like these are such good
12:04picks in this like Cook, Genty, Squan, Ken Walker, Chase Brown. How are you drafting? It's tough to say, but how are
12:12you even drafting Jefferson or Lamb in those spots? Like don't you have to go running back running back if you have a
12:16late first round pick? Like such positive vibes, such incredible upside for all of these running backs. it.
12:22Chase Brown's a great pick, but so is Ken Walker as we'll get to. So is I think Saquon. We'll get to that. Why
12:28it's it's trending a little bit in the other direction right now. Uh but yeah, you got to be drafting running back in
12:32that range, but Chase Brown, elite pick in round two. Um you still got to figure out if Saquon's going to be featured or
12:39not this season. Uh but yeah, very positive vibes in uh Cincy. Offensive line is great. Draft Cincy players. uh team you might not want to draft is the
12:47Cleveland Browns up next, but uh Todd Monkin has had a lot of praise for Fannon recently. Basically came out and said that he's going to be the focal
12:56point of the passing attack that they're going to pound the rock with Quinchon Judkins and throw it a ton to Fannon. Um
13:02also positive to see that Casey Conception right away is out there uh as like a starting receiver in uh first team rep. So that's great to see. Um,
13:11but Fannon's the guy like um it's unfortunate the quarterback play is going to stink. The offensive line is terrible. The the offensive system is
13:19not going to be good. Uh like the the production like as a total offense won't be there. Uh so even if he racks up
13:25perceptions, it likely won't be for many yards. He likely won't score many touchdowns, but any tight end that could be the featured option on the offense
13:33needs to be targeted in drafts. And so I'm more optimistic than I was in a tight end's ranking video earlier this
13:38week. Um, whenever you have the coach saying that they're going to feature this player on offense, center the offense around them and they're a player
13:45like like it's not a lie. Like you watch the interview, you watch last season, um, see how targeted he was. It just,
13:53you know, that he's not just like blowing smoke. Like this is he's going to get a ton of targets this season. Um,
13:58I still think you have to have Fan in behind Craft and Leaporta because they're just on such better offenses and if they're going to be healthy in week
14:05one, which it seems like Craft's going to be good to go and Laora's already good to go, like I think you have to do
14:10them. Um, but I think Fannon moves right behind them into that tier and separates from Pitts and a little bit more than he
14:17did before. Uh, for Dallas Cowboys, uh, Fenoy, the drum beatat continues. He's the locked in wide receiver three. Uh, I think his ascension is going to hurt uh
14:26Terrence Ferguson. Terrence Ferguson, Jake Ferguson on on Dallas. Um, I want news on Terrence Ferguson if he's going to be hyperargeted this season. But
14:35Ferguson always been this dump off guy, this low A dot guy, just not a super high upside role. And if they're also going to focus
14:43more targets on Ferguson, I feel like it's Ferguson up or Ferguson down and um Fenoy up. Fenoy is getting a lot of hype
14:50from the team. Uh he's playing well in camp. The coaching staff just really likes him. He's a very good pick later
14:57in underdog right now. I don't know that you get there in a reddraft league because again you're still kind of late
15:01in the draft at that point and you just might not need to go there. Uh but he's a great pick. And then um a lot of hype
15:07around Jaden Blue. I know we had hype last season, but it actually seems like he's headed for a much larger role right
15:13now. We'll see as camp continues. Can he hold on to that role? Uh he looks explosive. Team is like, "Yep, he took
15:19that next step. seems to be good. Again, we'll see if it continues, but very positive there. Uh Denver, nothing really much. Uh Waddle looks good, but
15:28that's to be expected. There's no actual news in Denver. Uh there's really nothing to say like nothing happened in Denver that makes us change anything. Up
15:36next, we have the Lions. Uh Gibbs isn't practicing as he works through the contract talks. Uh don't really be worried about that. Pacheco and Vaky are
15:44splitting the first team reps in the meantime. Don't love seeing that. Uh, if you like Pacheco, I've backed off Pacheco just a little bit recently. Um,
15:53I think that like if you were in that range looking for a handcuff, Tank Bsby is probably the one you want to be
15:58drafting. Uh, because he's just so locked in behind Saquon. Seemed like maybe, you know, Pacheco would be locked in behind him. But the reality is
16:06Pacheco is not that good. One year, $1.8 million deal. If they're actually thinking about using Baky a little bit in that role, I don't love it as much.
16:15Um, but it's just a situation to modern.
16:17Like if Pacheco has a good camp, if he is the clear number two behind Gibbs, there's a lot of upside for this role.
16:24You just need him to be like, you know, used on a weekly basis to actually have a strong role if Gibbs went down. Uh,
16:30because Gibbs isn't going to like hold out and not play this season. Uh, and I don't I don't know that right now we
16:36know for sure they'd have that role until he goes a little bit too early. If we don't know, I just just, you know,
16:41he's going like two rounds or maybe a round and a half ahead of Tank Bsby.
16:44just take Bby. Um, Green Bay, couple things. So, number one, Tucker Craft going to be good to go. Um, I think he's
16:51practicing as of today. Don't quote me on that, but if it's not today, it's like this weekend, like he's he's going
16:56to be practicing, so he's going to be good to go. Uh, Marshon Lloyd continues to get a lot of hype. He's been their
17:02most explosive player on the field. Um, if I had any advice to Marshon Lloyd, it'd be, you know what, you've proved
17:08it. Dial back the explosiveness a little bit. Preserve your groin. Preserve your hammy. They seem to be the things that get you into trouble. You know, you're
17:16trying to run 120 m an hour every play.
17:19Pull it back to 110. You're still probably the most explosive player, but now you might have a hammy at the end of
17:23the day. Uh very interested to see what happens here, especially if we get a Jacob suspension. Like if that happens, I still think they're probably going to
17:30go out and get someone. Um whether it's a free agent, whether they trade for a lower end back, uh they're not going to
17:36bring in like a running back one.
17:37Obviously, it's not possible, but do they go out and get Naji? Do they get one of these backs on free agency? Um, I
17:45don't know. But if Lloyd continues to have the camp that he's having and he stays healthy, it'll give them more trust in not doing that. Uh, and maybe
17:52Lloyd can be a good pick again in drafts. But, you know, you don't want to be on the Lloyd hype train. It's not a
17:58very fun ride. Uh, Houston Texans, there was a report recently about Monty and Marks splitting the workload this year.
18:04I mean, maybe that's true because, you know, 8020 is still a split. Uh but Monty is the guy. They they did not
18:11bring him in. And the other thing is like not only from a talent perspective is he is he the guy. Not only has the
18:17team at times said that he's the guy going to be a feature back this season, but think about it from Monty's
18:22perspective. Do you think in free agency they would have gone there and said, "Hey, uh want to split the work with
18:27Woody Marks?" And he was like, "Yes, please." And took that job. There were plenty of teams that would have been willing to give David Montgomery a
18:33contract. The fact that he went to Houston signals to me, they said, "You're the guy. You're the early down guy. You're getting the touchdowns.
18:40We're going to use you in the receiving game." Now, Woody Marks is a receiving back, so that will be his role. And
18:45Monty's not going to get a ton of touches in the receiving game, but for a round five pick to be locking in a very
18:49consistent running back, too. I just think he's such a safe pick. The touchdowns will be there early on workload will be there. The defense is
18:56great. Going to have enough receptions.
18:58I think he's a really good pick in drafts uh for the Colts. Oh, and actually one thing I'll say, uh, Jaden
19:04Higgins is getting a little bit of hype as well, but it's still going to be a runheavy offense with a great defense
19:10and he's behind Nico, so it can only be so good for that, too. Uh, for the Colts, seems like right now, DS is
19:18trending towards playing in two server sets. The reason we can't go all in yet, and I can't like put him on the
19:22mustdraft list just yet, is because, well, Alec Pierce isn't there yet. and do things shake around a little bit if Alec Pierce returns is uh down still in
19:31two wide receiver sets. We don't know.
19:33So positive so far. We love to see it.
19:36But let's be honest, if he wasn't in two wide receiver sets while Alec Pierce also wasn't out there, it would be uh a
19:42death blow to to Josh. So thankfully he is in those sets right now, but we'll see if that continues once Pierce is
19:49back. I don't know when Pierce is going to come back yet, though. It's kind of up in the air. Uh Jacksonville, number
19:54of things to go over. So, number one, Chris Rodriguez is out there, but not in team drills. He's going to be brought
19:59along slowly. The goal is to be healthy for week one. So, I'm thinking it's going to be a couple weeks before he
20:03plays in team drills. We just don't know yet. Um, but he's not out there yet. And Ton is taking advantage of all of that.
20:10He looks explosive. The coaches are hyping him up. Cohen called him an allpurpose back that's great in the red zone and in the passing game, which I
20:19mean, that's why we were excited about him as a prospect, right? were like, well, he's a prospect that can force miss tackles that can be used in the
20:25receiving game and as a goal linebacker.
20:27Those are the types of running backs.
20:29Think about like Cam Scaboo as well.
20:31Types of running backs to hit in fantasy. If we're trending towards that happening on the Jaguars with someone this explosive, yeah, there's a ton of
20:39upside because he was already used the goal line back last season. Now, I don't want us to get too far ahead of
20:43ourselves. They really like Rodriguez as well as a reason why they brought him in. He's got a history with Liam Cohen.
20:50Like I think he's still going to eat into the early down workload of Tutin, but they're very excited about Tuin.
20:57This is obviously a very positive thing.
20:59He's a great pick in fantasy right now.
21:01I just don't want people to assume that Crod's going to do nothing. They're ramping him up because he's going to have a role and they want him to be
21:09healthy once he returns. It's not going to be a featured back season for Tuton, but again, still a very good pick. such
21:16a good offense and he goes in great range of the draft where you don't need him to be featured. Uh after him, I
21:22would say Parker Washington having an unbelievable camp. We're at the point where he needs to be the top wide receiver in rankings. He's stacking
21:30backto backto back great days in camp.
21:33He looks like the team's number one target. It seems like he's going to be like that top target that Brian Thomas
21:39Jr. is is slated for, you know, that X roll field stretcher running the really tough routes. Um, but that he opens up
21:46the offense for Parker Washington. Uh, that Meyers kind of mixes in as that third wide receiver. That Travis Hunter plays more defense than offense, but
21:54still plays offense gets more designed usage. So, routes will be down, but targets per route run, yards per route run be very high. And that everyone, all
22:03four of them have elite contingent upside. If there's an injury to any one of these receivers, we see roles skyrocket in an offense that's going to
22:11consolidate among them. you're not going to have another wide receiver stepping up. Uh so great, honestly, all of them have great contingent upside makes them
22:17good picks, but Parker Washington is probably at this point going to have to be considered a mustdraft player. Uh he is just going in a great range of the
22:25draft where there's almost no risk at the at where he's going right now, which I think on underdog is like pick 67 or
22:34so, 68. It may have bumped up a spot or two the last couple days. Um every time you're in that range, you probably want
22:40to be drafting him. you don't draft one of like May Daniels, Burrow as part of a stack, you're taking Parker Washington,
22:46just hoping that in the next round you can get one of those elite quarterbacks.
22:50Love Parker Washington uh than like um Herbert or something like that. Kansas City up next. Um kind of what I talked
22:57about before. I love Chase Brown, but it's tough to move him over Ken Walker because Ken Walker is also getting great
23:04reports out of camp. We already know that Ken Walker is going to be featured at the goal line, going to have a ton of
23:08carries this season, that alone makes him worth a second round pick. But if we're going to add on what they've been
23:14talking about and then now doing in camp is add-on receptions, add-on usage in the screen game and we get that to add
23:20on top of it, I mean, he's a first round pick. But the problem is it's like, okay, well, if he's a first round pick
23:24and James Cook is a first- round pick and Jenty's a first round pick and we have Saquon getting a ton of carries on
23:30offense, it should be way better. also has a great defense and we've got Chase Brown being featured on another amazing offense with the best offensive line
23:37he's played behind. It's like, well, not everyone can go in round one. And so, it adds to this notion that it's like,
23:44well, Lamb and Jefferson are great as well, but do you want to be exiting that range with less than one of these guys?
23:51Like, what if you could draft Ken and Chase? Okay, well, they're second round picks, both of them right now. So, you
23:55can actually go like James Cook and one of these guys or Genty and one of these guys. I don't know. like it it adds a
24:00lot to the fact that it's like there's so many great running backs going in that general range. I kind of want to be
24:04leaving with two of them. Uh but yeah, Ken Walker also an amazing pick.
24:08Probably deserves to be round one pick right now. Uh and then keep an eye on Cyrus Allen getting a lot of hype right
24:13now. He's our fifth round rookie this season. Um he's only 180 pounds and not super fast, but he's making plays and
24:20let's be honest, Worthy has been a bust and Rice cannot beat man coverage. Only a zone beater. Kelsey also basically a
24:26zone beater over the middle of the field. And so Cyrus Allen, a lot of people have talked about him being like
24:30their best man beater. If he's the only one out that can out there, go out there and like actually win and get open. He
24:36could have a role. Uh Casey also historically kind of brings these rookies along pretty slowly. Uh even Rice they didn't really use in the first
24:43half of the season. Uh Raiders pretty quiet on the wide receiver front.
24:48Doesn't seem like any of them are really standing out. Doesn't matter a whole lot though. We know Bowowers is effectively their wide receiver one. Um, I think
24:55Michael Mayer is going to play a lot more than people are expecting. Have a much larger role than people think. This
25:00offense is going to run a ton of two tight end sets. That means only two wide receivers on the field. Uh, they're
25:06going to throw to tight ends at probably one of, if not the highest rate in the league. Um, I continue to think like
25:12round 17 18 picks are getting tougher on underdog. It It's very difficult at this point. All these sleepers we had are now
25:18going week in rounds 14, 15, and 16.
25:21It's it's tough in rounds 17 and 18. But Mayor continues to be there every single time at the back end of round 18. If you
25:29leave that spot open for him, I think that's an exceptional pick to make right now. Um, but yeah, I don't even know
25:35what their wide receiver position is going to look like, but I also don't think he cares. We're not really drafting them. Uh, Chargers,
25:41I I'm I was hoping this wouldn't happen.
25:43Like, we wanted a quiet camp from Katon Mitchell, but the team of course goes out there and tweets out like a 30 yard
25:51reception from Katon Mitchell. Air yards are king for running backs. So many running backs will have a role in the receiving game, but it's all dump offs.
25:59If you're getting usage downfield, there's like a handful of running backs usage downfield. So, if that continues, oh my goodness, if he's going to get,
26:06you know, consistent carries, consistent targets, some of them coming downfield.
26:11The upside for Katon Mitchell is significant this season. I still think he's probably the best pick you can make right now. Um, I just don't want the
26:19hype to to make it where he's like a top 100 pick. you've been able to get him in the 130s. I was in a high stakes draft
26:24uh the other day where I was planning to take him at 123. His ADP was like 137 or something like that. Uh he went at like
26:31115. So, it's already happening. Really hope it doesn't go too early. Um only other thing is Brennan Thompson's getting hyped, but like so is Trey
26:39Harris. So, this isn't like Trey Harris being bad. Thompson's getting hyped.
26:42He's going to overtake him. Um I still think it's going to be a battle. Uh but Thompson's a specific player, right?
26:48He's 5'9", 164 pounds.
26:51Okay. So, like not not exactly the biggest receiver in the NFL. Uh 4.2640 though. So, that's basically I think they're going to use him on design
27:00plays. Uh get him moving really fast across the field, deep downfield, uh deep shots, things like that. Whereas, I think Trey Harris is more like Trey
27:08Harris is a great run blocker. He can be used in even like 12 or 13 personnel sets. Um I think it's still Harris as
27:14number three. But if you're in round 18 underdog and you have a Charger stack, I would want Thompson added to that. Uh,
27:19Rams, not much news. I want more news. I want to know about Ferguson. I want to know exactly about the split. Seems like
27:26to start camp it is looking like that 50/50 split with Cororm. It seems like Corm had another great offseason that he's going to be very involved with this
27:33team. Uh, but not a lot of actionable news. Like there's not a lot where it's like, oh, this is definitely happening.
27:38Uh, seeing honestly a couple of the teams coming up, not a lot of actionable news. But Miami, um, nothing really. A
27:45Chan confirmed. They're going to be very runheavy. Of course, it's a running back saying that, so we'll see. But they're probably going to lean very runheavy
27:50this season. It's how runheavy can you be if you're terrible and if you're losing all the time. You can start run
27:55heavy. You can be run heavy when winning when trailing or when winning and neutral, but if you're trailing most weeks, how runheavy are you going to be?
28:02Um really just wouldn't be drafting Dolphins players. Uh Vikings, another one where we're more just watching.
28:10Watch the quarterback battle, watch the running back usage. We don't have any sort of takeaway yet. There's been up and downs for both quarterbacks. Um, we
28:19have no takeaway from the split between uh Mason, Claybourne, Aaron Jones. We just don't know enough yet. It's far too early in camp to have anything in
28:28Minnesota. In Patriots camp, uh, Vrabel was asked about uh, Trayvon Henderson improving, right? It's something we want to know like did he improve in pass
28:36protection in the offseason? Can you trust him more? and he goes into an answer kind of about um pass protection in general and how important it is and
28:43stuff like that. And then when answering the specific question about the running backs, he starts with, I love the way Raandre protects and uh Trayvon's
28:53continuing to work on that. That's not what you want to hear if you have been drafting Trayvon Henderson. Um I still
28:59like I said a couple weeks ago, people are kind of drafting Trayvon assuming he did make that next step. We don't know
29:04that he did. and the early reports are that he did not from the head coach. Uh I feel like we're heading towards a
29:10situation where it's exactly like last season and maybe better because the offensive line's better. Uh but like Raandre is the one they trust in pass
29:16protection. They are going to use him in the receiving game. He's the more consistent option on early downs.
29:22Trayvon's that explosive running back change of pace that could be great in the receiving game, but if he can't be trusted in pass protection, it's more on
29:29design plays in the receiving game, which can still lead to high end production, but not high-end enough for like where he's going. He goes too early
29:35in drafts right now. Uh, other name to watch is Eli Raridon. I mean, huge hype around him. He's a very athletic tight
29:41end. Amazing pick in rookie drafts right now. Underdog. Definitely draft him. Um, especially if it's tight end premium.
29:49Um, I think his ascension does a couple things. It basically would make it so that they wouldn't go out and get
29:55another tight end. We've talked about that being a positive for Henry, but if his ascension is so great that in the
30:00second half of the season, he's commanding a target sharing, getting design looks and like pushing Hunter Henry, well, that's a bad thing for
30:06Hunter Henry. So, I don't know exactly what to do with this right now. If the hype continues and Raridan's going to
30:11have like a role in week one, you got to bump Hunter Henry down to someone where it's like you're not really targeting as
30:16much. Still think Henry is fine in two tight end builds. Uh but certainly would not enter the season with Henry as her
30:22only tight end. And we will see. I might have to bump him down a little bit if continues to be this good. Uh Saints
30:28camp. Uh Kamar has been mixing in for first down work, but we still don't really know what the plan is here. I'm
30:34really hoping beat reporters continue to ask because we we just don't know. I don't think the team wants Kamar to be a
30:40huge thing this season, but if he's getting first team reps and he's going to be using the passing attack, like that's a knock on ETN. ETN has basically
30:47gone from being a really good pick u basically in the beginning of the third round uh to being someone where, you
30:53know, should probably be going closer to round 34 turn uh and if Camaro is going to be that receiving back, it really
30:58caps the upside of ETN.
31:01But we don't know yet. We don't know how heavy that role is going to be. They paid a lot of money to ETN. They really
31:07like him as a runner. We'll see. I just got to continue to monitor that one.
31:11Giants camp. Um probably the story of the week, right? Neighbors looks good. I mean, sometimes you're seeing, oh, they're out there running routes, you
31:20know, they're um going to participate at sometime soon. I mean, maybe he's not 100% right now. He's not 100% right now,
31:28but like my goodness, does he look good on these routes. he looks like he's cutting with absolutely no thought of the torn ACL and and other things too.
31:37Um we did talk about this about a week ago saying, you know, whenever you're going to bet on someone returning faster
31:44than expected from a significant knee injury, historically the people who have beaten those expectations are young, highly athletic wide receivers. What is
31:55the Malik Neighbors a young highly athletic wide receiver? So, it's not shocking that he goes out there as one of these like super high-end talents and
32:03recovered really well. He's incredibly athletic. Those are the people who return. Uh, he avoided the pup, which means the team fully expects him to play
32:11at some point in the first four weeks of the season. Multiple reports recently that, you know, there's a chance he plays in week one. At this point, two
32:18three turn. I think he has to go with the two three turn. I think the discussion at this point is where do you
32:23place him among those options among the Pickkins Nico AJ Browns of the world. Uh among Achan and Derk Henry um if you're
32:31a Trey McBry that range fan I'm not. Uh among like Love and Bree Hall like among these positions among the wide receiver
32:39where exactly does he go? That's what we're going to figure out over the next couple weeks and it's how quickly he's
32:44ramped up and how he looks continually how he progresses in camp. Right now, I think I'd probably take him over Pickkins. I think it's really tough
32:53between him and Nico. And I think right now, I'd probably still take Nico first.
32:56Uh, but if you're at the turn and you took Gibbs and you want to grab Neighbors and like Bree Hall or you
33:03wanted to go Gibbs, Nico, uh, Neighbors, I think there's a ton of upside. And I'm taking the two, three turn at this
33:10point. If he progresses significantly, I'm still not going to take him, I don't think, over that range of running back.
33:16It's like against Saquon, Ken Walker, U Chase Brown, Hampton, and I think I'd probably still put Bowowers at the end of that. But after that, I feel like I'm
33:27probably just going Malik Neighbors if again once we see him in practice looking good. If that happens, that's probably where I put him. Uh right now,
33:36I think it's more so the turn. But, you know, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very excited about the reports so far
33:41and the literal videos that we have of him running routes. uh Giants camp or Jets camp, Sadiq practice. So, we didn't
33:48know 100% if Sadi was going to be good to go to start camp. He is. He looks good. We already know he's hyperly
33:55athletic. He's very exciting player. Um I don't want to go crazy and start drafting him a ton because he's on the
34:00Jets and they have Garrett Wilson, they have Bree Hall, they have receivers they'll use. Like the usage will not be that high no matter how good he is in
34:08year one. But it's still exciting if you like taking him late that he looks good, he looks healthy. um good pick but only
34:17two ten builds mostly an underdog uh and a three10 build an underdog uh two10 builds in reddraft leagues and you know
34:24I don't think you can rely on them still early in the season uh Eagles again we got to figure this split out like right
34:29now they're splitting first team work with Tank and Saquon I wouldn't look at that too much just because they have talked numerous times about how they're
34:37like oh are you going to limit the workload for Saquon and they're like well we don't have to do that in games
34:42like we have offseason programs, we have OTAAS, we have camp, we have practice within the week. Those account for so many touches. If you reduce those
34:52touches, you're good to go in the season, right? Like, it's not about saying, "Oh, instead of giving him 20, we'll give him 18." Those two touches
34:58weren't going to make a huge difference.
35:00It's if you take, you know, 50 touches off his plate in weekly practices or, you know, 300 touches off his plate in
35:07um camp, well, that can add up to really saving him. So, it's not shocking to see this split. They should be doing this
35:15split. They know how good Squick is.
35:16Just need these touches in camp. Uh, but Tank looks good and Tank looked good last year. And the team likes Tank. And
35:23it's like, well, it makes sense that in season if Tank is actually going to perform really well, why not give him
35:30some early down works, especially some early down work that's like not high leverage, right? Uh, some early down work that's like, you know, it's first
35:37and 10, non-obvious passing down. the difference between Saquon and Tank Bsby might be like 0.1 yards. I mean, it just like might not be really that much.
35:45Those are some of the carries, but once they get into the red zone, uh once it's high level situations, passing downs,
35:50things like that, it's still going to be Saquon. So, I still maintain Saquon's great at that one-two turn, uh still someone we want in fantasy. But watch
35:58the reports on the split. Also, watch the reports on Mai Lemon in two receiver sets. He's not out there yet in two wide
36:04receiver sets, but that also is not shocking because it's so early in camp.
36:09If he was out there already, slam dunk mustdraft player. Like literally, if he was out there in two RC recess to start
36:14camp, he's a mustdraft player of the season. If he gets into that quickly, he still will be. Right now, we don't know.
36:20But it's like he's a rookie. It's not shocking the right uh right from the start. Steelers, uh Warren and Rico is
36:26splitting, and it's basically just everything we thought was going to happen is happening in Pittsburgh. Um Rico is the favorite to be the early
36:33down lead in rush attempts. Warren is the favorite for passing downs. that makes him my favorite in fantasy just because this offense is gonna throw to
36:41running backs at a top three rate in the NFL. There's so many vacated targets.
36:45He's a great pass catcher. Like he doesn't need the early down workload. If he's getting so much work in the receiving game to make up for it, it
36:50doesn't matter. Contingent upside for both of them. Uh downside still exists obviously, right? It's a 43-year-old quarterback on a very low volume in
36:58total offense, a very slow paced offense. It's just that a lot of that volume does go to the running backs. So,
37:04both Rico and Warren are very good picks in drafts with high upside. Uh, but that doesn't mean you're going to be like in
37:10love with starting them every week. It's going to be relatively up and down still. Uh, but Warren still my favorite, especially in full PPR. Uh, San Fran,
37:17big one. So, I have at this point dropped Piil effectively out of the rankings. I think I have him at like a
37:235% target share this season. The PCL is still an issue and it's not healing.
37:28Surgery is an option. If he has surgery, it ends his season. So, do not draft Ricky Pierce at all. Not worth it. They
37:35go out and they emergency sign Debo Samuel. That's going to tell us something. Uh, so again, I don't I don't know that Pearl is going to play. I
37:42don't think you should be drafting him right now at all in draft. Even if he tanks to round 18 and you're like, isn't
37:46that an upside play? As things stand right now, until we have more information, it's not worth drafting Ricky Pearl because the odds are right
37:54now he's not going to play. We'll see.
37:55Again, we do this video every week. We have mock drafts and live streams that we're going to be doing. like we'll talk
38:01about it, but I would not draft Piol right now. Um, Stribbling is a great pick where he goes. He will be going
38:07earlier in drafts. Uh, he had been going the 170s. That was free. Starting to go in the 150s recently. This will probably
38:14bump him up to like 130 uh ADP. And if Debo doesn't look good in camp, and because Stribbling also has looked great
38:21in camp, like he might go in the 110 range, that will start to get aggressive. But right now, anytime he's near the top, just take him. Um,
38:30Stribbling is exciting because it's a great offense, highly efficient. He's the best run blocking wide receiver in this draft class. Like, he will go out
38:37there and run block. That's what you need in this offense. And everyone's old, right? KD's old coming off a torn Achilles. Evans is old. Debo is old and
38:45like not as old as Evans, but looks worse than Evans physically. Like, everyone's old around him. Everyone could be falling off in this offense. I
38:52still think those guys are good, but like this is a very old offense that has struggled with injuries. Stribbling could have a huge role this season. and
38:57he again is a great pick in drafts right now. Uh Seahawks up next. Nothing concrete but very positive reports to start camp for uh Price. The thing is
39:09Charbanet also has positive reports.
39:11They're saying week one's a possibility that I believe that is physically impossible. There's just no way he's actually out there in week one. But
39:19basically as positive reports as possible for Charbanet. And so even though they're talking about using running backs more in the receiving
39:25game, they're utilizing him that way in camp for price, I still think it's something they're trying to develop and I don't want my running back that goes
39:32early as Price to lose his role as the season goes along. And I still think Sharpy is an absolute lock to be the
39:40passing down back on the goal line back when healthy. And if they're talking about this kid returning faster than anyone in human history's return mtor
39:47ACL, clearly the recovery is going pretty darn well. So I still don't draft Price. Uh but the reports are positive for him and the reports are positive for
39:54Shahed. Shahed is definitely moving up uh in rankings. Uh Bucks camp Ibuka is moving being moved all around the field.
40:02Looks to be a featured weapon. He's a mustdraft player this season. An amazing pick. Uh going much earlier in drafts now. So on underdog, he's probably not a
40:11mustdraft player because he goes so early. In reddraft leagues, he'll still go in a range where he's a mustdraft player. Uh and then the reports are
40:18right now Bucky Gainwell basically operating in a 1A 1B situation. So pretty much what we expected everywhere in Tampa Bay. Tennessee not a whole lot.
40:28Singleton some dud some hype like it's kind of up and down for Singleton. We just need a lot more in camp to shake
40:33out to know what his role is going to be this season. Um I still think Paul is a clear starter but watch that rotation.
40:39And then for the commanders um they have still not signed any wide receivers as of recording this around noon on Friday.
40:45Um, I still think they either go after Diggs or trade for Kan Booty. Uh, but it's tough to know right now. We know
40:50it's not Debo Samuel. He's gone to San Fran now. Uh, but yeah, I think they bring someone else in. But if not,
40:56Antonio Williams remains a good value in drafts. Uh, and then regardless, uh, McLuren is a great pick. So, uh, definitely some some really high-end
41:05news, right? Some news that really has impacted rankings so far. I've already adjusted to all this. I adjust every single day. There will be news every
41:13day. you're gonna watch this on Sunday or on Saturday or Sunday and there is going to be plenty of news that happen
41:18Friday night, Saturday, Sunday. So, make sure you're coming back to the videos uh next week. This is a very important video to watch every week. But then also
41:26the rankings, just make sure you're downloading, especially if you're playing on underdog. Download the updated rankings every day and play with
41:33those. Uh and then also just check the reports. Um keep up to date with these videos. Uh but then again, the rankings
41:39will account for all of this. So, if you just make sure you refresh those, you're good to go. So, that'll do it for this
41:44one. Thank you all for watching. If you're still here, please leave a like, subscribe to the channel if you are new,
41:48but I'll catch you all on the next one.
