0:00Four players that I absolutely love for Fantasy Football.
0:02Must Draft players, okay? Here's the caveat. I didn't draft them.
0:05So this is a love list of players that I missed out on.
0:09I've already done most of my drafts. I'm going to do a ton of basketball, but my main leagues, my core leagues, right?
0:15Including my dynasty. I've got no stock in these guys.
0:18And I love them. Now that we're getting close to the season, I'm finding more love for them.
0:23So I'm going to tell you who they are and why you should consider drafting.
0:27I'm excited to dive in here. If you're new to this channel, hit the thumbs up and subscribe.
0:31If you're watching this video, hit the thumbs up.
0:34Help us at the channel. And drop a player you absolutely love.
0:37Or if you did your draft, who did you miss out on?
0:40Who is your must draft? Let's talk about it here, okay?
0:43Happy Sunday, everybody. Sun's birthday today, the big seven.
0:46So we're going to go out for lunch today.
0:48And we've got the World Cup. We're going to be watching that again.
0:51There's so much to do today. And I'm planning my move to Florida.
0:55So I've got a lot on the go. South Florida, baby, here I come.
0:59And moving away from the Northeast. And I'm just excited, man.
1:02A lot of changes, positive. And I got a big announcement August 1st.
1:05So DM me the word draft if you guys want to be the first to draft with me.
1:10And also hear what the announcement's about. That's coming very soon.
1:13So do that. And grab 16 Rounds draft kit, sleepers, breakouts, everything you need.
1:17If you don't draft with 16 rounds, you're going to lose if you don't draft with it.
1:21So make sure you guys grab it so you guys win your league.
1:25Everything. All my picks, 16 rounds I've linked to below.
1:27Pin comment. Use code lying to save. Okay? This weekend.
1:30All right? So let's go here. Who are the players that I love that I missed out on?
1:35First one is Justin Jefferson. Yeah. Believe it or not, I love Justin Jefferson.
1:39Why did I miss out on him? And why do I love him?
1:42Well, last year he had a down year. But I've talked about him.
1:46If you guys haven't checked my wide receiver lock episode, he's a lock.
1:49Because he's the alpha dog. In a world now, a fantasy football world where there's so much uncertainty, even at the wide
1:55receiver position, we don't have a true one. Justin Jefferson fills that spot cleanly.
1:59There's nobody else that's going to come in and take away Justin Jefferson's spot.
2:03He's going to get the volume. He's going to get the targets.
2:06He's going to get the distribution. He's going to get the volume.
2:09He's going to get touchdowns. He's going to get the work.
2:12So he is a lock. Now, why didn't I draft him?
2:15Because I didn't want to spend a first or second round pick on a guy that is coming off a down year, right?
2:21And I'm going running back early. So that's why I avoided him.
2:24That being said, he's still the alpha dog. He's still going to eat.
2:28He's still going to contribute, right? And he's trending upwards.
2:30When you look at players, you got to look at, did he have an up year?
2:35He's probably trending down. Did he have a down year?
2:37He's only trending up. He's trending up. I just didn't want to pay the first round pick.
2:42I do love him. And I think you guys are going to do great with him this year.
2:47I don't trust Kyler Murray. That's another caveat. I just don't trust him.
2:50That's another big issue. But when you look at just Justin Jefferson as a standalone player, he's awesome.
2:55I love him. Okay. Number two here. All right.
2:57Is Quinshawn Judkins. I'm going to keep talking about him.
3:00I missed out on him. And this could be my biggest regret of the season because we're talking about alpha dog, a
3:06guy that got a ton of volume, 230 attempts last year.
3:09I know he got hurt. That's why you're getting a fourth to fifth to sixth round possible discount.
3:14If he falls to sixth round, depending on your league, you're getting a major discount on RB1 with an improved O-line.
3:19They've got receivers now. He's in a great situation.
3:22Quinshawn Judkins is primed to dominate this year. Okay.
3:24And I'm telling you, they didn't draft anybody else.
3:27He's the alpha dog. All right. He's going to do well.
3:30All right. The off field issues are behind him.
3:32So when I look at Judkins, I'm like, dude, come on, man.
3:35Like you got to be all over that. So Judkins love them.
3:38Great opportunity. Go for it. All right. Number three here.
3:41I just posted a video on my IG. If you're not turned on notifications, turn them on here.
3:46Turn on the bell and my socials on Insta fantasy football counselor.
3:49Number three is Cam Scadabo. Absolutely love this guy.
3:52Now the problem is I posted a video. He was doing a backflip and almost tore his knee.
3:56If you watch this video, go to my IG.
3:59Does this backflip and like scares the heck out of all dynasty owners that have them.
4:03And that is my problem. When I look at Cam Scadabo, I love the intensity.
4:07I love the heart. He's everything you want mentally out of a fantasy football running back.
4:11He's going to run hard, but I think he's going to burn himself out again.
4:15I think he's going to injure himself by week three.
4:18Three, that's the risk you get when you draft a Cam Scadabo heading into the season.
4:22And the situation is good. Who do they got?
4:25Tracy there. Like I'm not really concerned at all.
4:27Dart's going to be okay. I think the receivers have question marks.
4:30I do like Malachi Fields as a sleeper. That's why I got to subscribe to his channel.
4:35I just gave you a sleeper. Stash Malachi Fields.
4:37I'm telling you, he's going to get some volume this year.
4:40All right. They've moved up to draft him in the third round to the Giants.
4:44Okay. But when I look at Scadabo, is he a drafter pass?
4:48That's a question that keeps circling in my head.
4:50But as part of a robust RB core, not as your main running back, sure, go for it.
4:55Why not? Why not get Cam Scadabo? Get that high ceiling guy that's going to run wild and crazy for you and
5:01going to take your fantasy team on his back.
5:03Why not? But when I see him doing backflips and doing crazy stuff, I get a little concerned here.
5:08All right. There's a liability here when it comes to my fantasy football team.
5:12If Cam Scadabo is doing crazy stuff, which we know he's going to do.
5:16He's definitely a few French fries short of a happy meal.
5:19Someone said. I had the old saying, a few grapes short of a fruit salad is more of, you know, the couple
5:25of fries less of a happy meal. That's a good one.
5:28And that's Scadabo for you. So do you want him?
5:30If you do make sure he's part of a robust RB core, not your main RB one.
5:35All right. And the last one here, absolutely love him.
5:38I missed out. It's probably going to be a regret or in fact, with all these guys, it can completely bust.
5:43I'll be like, Hey man, I'm glad I missed out on them.
5:46But all these guys have a ton of ceiling, a little bit of risk injury risk with Judkins Scadabo, JSN, or sorry, Justin Jefferson with the Kyler Murray.
5:54So they all have some question marks, right? Enough for me to deter them.
5:58But the last guy here, I love him. All right.
6:00Now, before I tell you exactly who he is, grab 16 rounds for all my picks.
6:05I've linked it below. Do not draft without him and just leave the video a like.
6:09It really helps the channel take a second of your time.
6:12Hit the like and drop a must draft. It's interactive.
6:15Get 16 rounds, hit the like and drop. Just who do you, who do you have to have?
6:19Who is a person that if you leave the draft not having that you're going to regret?
6:24Drop it below. I love to make it interactive.
6:26I like chatting. You can see I try to dive into the comments, right?
6:30All right. And also my Patreon group as well.
6:32Fantasy Frontlines. Make sure you guys join that. The only place to get real direct access to be guaranteed the Fantasy Frontlines,
6:38all out fantasy war room linked below. So who is this guy?
6:42Tommy Joe. Brian Thomas Jr. Why do I love him?
6:44It's very simple for me, guys. He's the wide receiver one.
6:47Contract year is coming. Coming off a down year.
6:50And he's only due to come up. Now he's got some people on that offense, right?
6:54That Myers, whoever it is. Those guys are betas.
6:56Whoever is on that depth chart are betas. He's the alpha dog.
7:00Remember, he was a first round pick. Crushed in his rookie year.
7:03Had a bit of down year. And guess what?
7:05He's trending up. So when I look at, you know, Brian Thomas Jr.
7:09This year, I get a value. And believe it or not, his ADP is going up.
7:13I saw him come off in a money league in round five.
7:16He was a lot lower. So look for him to trend up because of the news of him doing well in training
7:22camp, which has inflated his value a bit. So Brian Thomas Jr.
7:25Major wide receiver sleeper that you must draft. Okay?
7:28He's on my love list. I still love him.
7:30I believe a bounce back is imminent for the young fellow.
7:33And I do like him. All right? So Brian Thomas Jr., Cam Scadaboo, Judkins, Justin Jefferson.
7:37I love these guys. But I didn't draft them.
7:40The question is, are you going to draft them?
7:42That is the question. It's up to you guys to make a conviction.
7:46Convictions. I can make you guys, you know, believe something.
7:48But it's up to you guys to do your research on top and have my conviction match up with your conviction.
7:54Right? You may not be convinced on some of these guys.
7:57All right? So daily videos, guys, coming your way.
7:59Turn on the bell. Fantasy football is back. I hope everybody has a great Sunday.
8:03Enjoy the soccer game today. It's going to be amazing.
8:06And that's it. Once this World Cup is done, we go full flow fantasy football.
8:10More focus is going to go towards football. There's been a lot of distractions this summer, including the soccer, including the basketball, which ended recently, and the hockey.
8:18Now we're moving full force fantasy football. Buckle up.
8:20Turn on the bell. We're going hard. Okay? Align mentality.
8:23Have a great Sunday. Bye-bye.
