0:00Five names that are going to take over fantasy football, meaning they're going to absolutely dominate.
0:05And some of these guys are amazing value. And I picked names that have not dominated fantasy football yet, meaning they're going to dominate this year.
0:12This is the year they're going to take over, right?
0:15So it's not going to be a typical name like Jameer Gibbs.
0:18We know he's already taken over, okay? We want a name of a person who has not yet taken over that will.
0:24The last one I absolutely love. Love, love, love this player.
0:27All my rosters. I cannot wait to dive in.

0:50Let me know about a player that you feel is going to take over fantasy football this year.
0:55Love to get your feedback. That's the difference with this channel.
0:58We make it interactive. I see your comments. I interact.
1:01So make sure you guys do comment below. And if you want to actually really win your league and be light years
1:07and get that belt or whatever it is in your league that the winner gets, you don't want a toilet bowl, right?
1:13You want to win. Grab the 16 round drafts, which I've linked it below.
1:17I'm going to give you guys everything. All the answers, sleepers, breakouts, everything updated until the season starts.
1:23Full mock drafts. Principal cheat sheet. Grab 16 rounds or head on over to thefantasyfootballcouncil.com.
1:27It is June now, guys. Draft season is just around the corner.
1:30It is coming fast. You want to be ahead.
1:33Now is the best time to get in to 16 rounds right now.
1:36Grab it below, okay? Let's talk about these five players.
1:39I'm going to rip through it here for you.
1:42And I'm not going to waste any time. The first one is Carnell Tate.
1:46Wide receiver 30. He's like 60th-ish overall. 6'2", 192 pounds.
1:49And I know I'm wearing a Titans hat, but there's no bias here.
1:52This guy has to succeed. I mean, Cam Ward is on the hot seat right now.
1:57He had a mediocre rookie season. He's got a chip on his shoulder.
2:00They don't have any primetime games, which I would assume is going to bother Cam Ward a little bit because he's like,
2:07dude, I don't have a primetime game. I think everybody's sleeping on me.
2:10So I'm looking at a guy like Carnell Tate who was drafted in the first round.
2:15It was their first pick. They could have went with anybody.
2:18And they went with Carnell Tate. Why? Amazing red runner.
2:21Reliable hands. And he's been doing amazing in midi camp and OTAs.
2:24I cannot express to you how excited I am.
2:27Now, there is a bit of a wide receiver committee.
2:30They got Ridley. They got I.M. Noor. They got these other guys.
2:33You know, years to wow me. I'm not wowed Ridley and all these other guys.
2:37I'm not really, really concerned. I believe they're going to hone in on Tate.
2:41If Cam Ward wants to succeed, he's going to hone in on the best receiver.
2:45And you don't draft a guy in the first round to set him.
2:49He's going to be on the field a lot.
2:52Like a lot. Like 95% a lot is what I'm thinking.
2:55See, like he's the man. Okay. So I love him.
2:58Carnell Tate. Okay. He's going to. And again, wide receiver 30.
3:01That's insane value for a guy who can definitely beat the guys that are ahead of him.
3:05I would have rather have him over like a T Higgins round three.
3:09Like give me Tate round five and look for his ADP to continue to rise as we get close to the season.
3:15Okay. The second one is a wide receiver. I'm sorry.
3:18A running back that I absolutely love. Got him on all my rosters.
3:22I don't hesitate to draft this guy. Just roll with it.
3:25Just, just, just get this guy. He's an RB 10.
3:28It's Omarionon Hampton. Why do I love this guy?
3:30Why am I so intrigued by him this year?
3:33I mean, last year he could have finished as a top five running back.
3:37If he didn't get hurt, we'll say injuries, blah, blah, blah.
3:40It was a minor injury. I think it was an ankle.
3:43It was nothing. It was nothing like serious or catastrophic.
3:46It happened. We got that out of the way.
3:48I'm not worried this year at all. Amazing team, amazing offense.
3:52They've improved a lot around this team. There's no competition.
3:54They got Mitchell there, Vidal. Those guys are just guys to add depth.
3:58They're not the true workhorse guys. Whereas Hampton is the workhorse guy.
4:01He can run. He can catch. He's powerful. I was watching a bunch of tape on him from highlights.
4:07He is extremely powerful after the catch and after the run after, you know, once he gets the ball in his hands,
4:13when he runs with it, he just fights for those extra yards.
4:16He is really, really tough. I love him. He should get all the goal line work.
4:21I'm not concerned. Omari and Hampton love this guy.
4:23And the thing is, you can get him at the end of round one and you can stack him with somebody else.
4:30I'm just so happy. I got him. I feel comfortable with him.
4:33I like him more. More upside than guys like Jonathan Taylor, Ad Chain, CMC, right?
4:37Those guys don't have the ceiling that this guy does.
4:40I'm telling you. And sky's the limit. Okay. All right.
4:43Number three here. This one's a big time sleeper.
4:46Wide receiver 90, which is crazy, is Malachi Fields.
4:48This one's a bit of a dart throw. He is tough after the catch as well.
4:53You can tell I like tough players. You know, what is he?
4:56Six, four. Ran a four, six-ish. Not the fastest.
4:59218 pounds. But he's got reliable hands, which is good.
5:01And he can jump on those 50-50 balls. And he can get a lot of, you know, a lot of touchdowns potentially.
5:08The Giants right now, I don't know if you saw the video I posted.
5:12If you haven't checked my IG where Malik Nabors is playing baseball.
5:15I don't know what event this was. But hits the ball and he was struggling to run to first base.
5:21It was like really tough to watch, which means like he's not ready.
5:24At the time of this recording, apparently the Giants are now meeting with Odell Beckham Jr.
5:29That's how desperate they are. The guy sucks. He's washed up.
5:32And they just need wide receiver depth because, you know, Malik Nabors is just not going to do it yet.
5:38Malik Nabors is still a top 10-12 receiver on the consensus conchef's rankings, which doesn't make sense.
5:42I mean, the Giants moved up specifically to draft Malachi Fields.
5:45We know the Giants like to draft star receivers.
5:48That's kind of been their goal over the past, you know, so many years.
5:52You know, remember Victor Cruz with the dance and Odell Beckham.
5:55They like these guys that are flashy. This guy's a beast, Malachi Fields.
5:59I would just stash him. Like, don't think about it.
6:02If he's there, maybe grab him a round or two earlier for when you see him.
6:06Grab Malachi Fields. You may be happier later, okay?
6:09I think they really need a wide receiver to step up this year.
6:12You know, Malik Nabors is just not it, okay?
6:15Number four here. Last year, I said avoid the donkey.
6:18This year, I'm saying draft the donkey. The guy I'm talking about is Makanki, okay?
6:22Now, you can get this guy cheaper than you got him last year.
6:26Around three to four ADP. Last year, it was kind of on the two-three.
6:30Now, it was like the three-four. He dropped a round or two.
6:33And the main thing here is as long as they don't re-sign Keenan Allen, this guy becomes the alpha dog.
6:39I think Trey Harris has been doing decent in camp.
6:41I think Quentin Johnson is going to get his looks.
6:44I think Gattiston, Njoku, they've added. There's a lot of options.
6:47They're obviously Hampton. There's a lot of options here.
6:50But when Herbert wants somebody he can rely on as a clutch, I think this is the guy.
6:55I mean, you can't really go wrong with Ladd McConkie, okay?
6:58So don't be a donkey. He drafted him as one of your wide receivers there earlier on.
7:03You don't have to get a receiver around one.
7:05But this guy is one of the options you can get, okay?
7:09And the last one here, again, my favorite player at wide receiver.
7:12I love him. I'm going to keep talking about it in videos.
7:16I don't care if I sound like a broken record.
7:18I don't care. Boom or bust. I'm all in on this guy.
7:22And I've been saying it. And the fact that this guy is like wide receiver 20, what is he?
7:2724, 25. I got to look it up. I think he moved up to 21.
7:31He moved up three spots after he made an amazing catch in training.
7:35Is Emeka Egbuka. All right? I cannot say enough good things about him.
7:39The fact that Mike Evans is gone opened up a huge void there.
7:42Just draft him. Like, I don't know what to tell you.
7:46Like, go running back, running back, and draft him.
7:48Now, the problem with Emika, here's one problem. As we get closer to August, his stock is going to continue to rise.
7:54I would not be surprised if this guy is going to be a second-round pick by the time season starts.
8:00That's the only issue. Like, I got him in, I think it was the fourth round.
8:05Yeah. So, that's value. Right? And that's why I like to draft early because as soon as I was drafting in May, like April, May.
8:12I think it was end of April. And you know what?
8:15As soon as that news broke out with the catch, he slid up like three, four spots.
8:19That's what the Kinshipis do. Right? That's why I got to listen to this channel because it's the only channel giving you the truth.
8:26So, grab 60 rounds. I'll keep you guys updated on the best values.
8:30We're going to do mock drafts every month in there.
8:33You're going to get a login. So, grab that.
8:35You're going to be ahead of everybody else. Turn on the bell.
8:39We got daily videos. If you love daily videos, if you love fantasy, subscribe.
8:43But, yeah, man. These guys are going to take over.
8:45Tate, look out. Hampton. Malachi Fields, kind of boom or bust.
8:49Lad McConkie, as long as Keenan Allen doesn't get signed.
8:51And Amika Igbuka. I mean, I just love him.
8:54The ceiling is high with these players. Draft them.
8:57And the value is pretty good. You're not paying a first, second, third.
9:00Well, Hampton, yeah. But the other guy is pretty amazing value.
9:03All right? Subscribe, thumbs up. Leave a comment. And swipe it, hype it, and grab 16 rounds.
9:08Right? Lion mentality. Let's see. Have yourself a good day.
