Carnell Tate

PositiveValue5:53

The source calls Carnell Tate a "big time league winner" and expresses absolute conviction in his value. Tate is available in the fifth round and described as a talented route runner with early draft capital. The Titans lack top-tier receiver talent outside Tate, positioning him to become a wide receiver one. The source emphasizes the value proposition: "fifth round, I get this guy in the fifth round, and I get to get a wide receiver one."

Emeka Egbuka

PositiveValue6:41

The source emphasizes Egbuka as a league winner at round three ADP, highlighting the absence of Mike Evans as a huge opportunity for Egbuka to shine. The source recommends stacking Egbuka and Carnell Tate in rounds three to five as an "amazing stack," allowing drafters to build their running back corps afterward. The source repeatedly hammers this conviction, noting many drafters are avoiding running backs for first-round wide receivers when Egbuka and Tate offer better value.

Kenyon Sadiq

PositiveSleeper2:35

The source identifies Sadiq as a league-winner tight end available at round 24 ADP, offering significant value compared to early-round tight end investments like Brock Bowers. Sadiq is described as physically elite—6'4", 240 pounds with 4.33 speed—and positioned to benefit from the Jets' offensive needs. The source notes he has "tons of upside" if given the ball, drawing a parallel to successful rookie tight ends like Tyler Warren and Sam Laporta, though acknowledges there's a chance he doesn't produce as expected.

0:15If you guys have been following the channel, make sure you guys do subscribe, turn on the bell for the Truth to
0:21Sports, the only channel giving you the truth, I'm actually on my way to South Florida, moving from, believe it or not,
0:28born and raised in Canada, I never really talked about where my geolocation was, because I really never liked my geolocation, so
0:34I was in the GTA my whole life, born and raised, and finally, finally South Florida, the brand is going to take
0:40off, because I've been doing what I've been doing out of Canada.
0:44You know, the top guy in Fantasy Football from Canada, which is ridiculous, okay, don't like the place, there's many reasons why,
0:50we'll get into it in this video, but we can have a chat, probably going to be talking a little bit more
0:57about it as my journey continues, but South Florida, I like the location, love the water, love the warm weather, love the
1:03people, love the vibe, love the energy, which is all things that Canada could not provide for me, so very grateful for
1:10the opportunity, and I grew up in the state, like, I was in the states a lot, growing up as a kid,
1:16I had relatives in San Jose, California, I have relatives in Chicago, relatives in Detroit area, so I've been around the states
1:23a lot, traveled a lot from my old job, so very, very grateful, very grateful to be in the U.S., man, and
1:29thank you Jesus for the opportunity, thank you everybody for following this channel to help make it happen, so moving my family
1:36to South Florida, three young kids, happy wife, happy life, right?
1:39So, we're on our way down, currently recording this in West Virginia, just wanted to give you guys some updates, and yeah,
1:45that's a story, for all you guys that don't know, big announcement still coming August 1st, so make sure you guys turn on the bell, right?
1:53Now that that's out of the way, make sure you guys do grab 16 Rounds, you don't want to draft without it,
1:59guys, that's how, that's because I want to build something that actually provides value, so when I give you guys something, I
2:06want to give you guys a 10x return on investment, right?
2:09I'm not just giving you rankings like everybody else in the industry, so grab 16 Rounds, that is how I support myself,
2:15but also give you guys the winning formula, right?
2:18I wanted to create something that actually helps people win, that's why I came up with 16 Rounds, I'm an independent, and
2:25yeah, I provide for you guys, so 16 Rounds, it's been selling really, really well, and you know, smash the sheep, right?
2:31Grab it, link it below. All right, so let's talk about these five league winners, and I've had a list here, and
2:37I'm kind of doing this a little bit off the cuff, but I made a list, but I didn't bring my list
2:44down with me, because again, I just did about eight hours driving, I'm exhausted, ready to pack it in for tonight.
2:50I'm actually releasing this in the morning, but I had recorded it the night before, okay?
2:55So the first league winner that I absolutely love is Kenyon Sadiq.
2:58Now, this guy, we've seen it with Tyler Warren last year, we saw it with, you know, we saw it with Sam
3:05Laporta a couple years ago, these rookie tight ends can go off.
3:08Now, understand, in contrast to last year, Geno Smith was throwing the ball, and Brock Bowers was coming off, what, like round
3:15one to two, which is crazy, and I was telling you guys, don't draft Brock Bowers, you know?
3:20And everybody did, and he didn't perform to where he was supposed to.
3:24So that being said, I'm getting a value on Sadiq, he's like, what, tight at 24, something like that?
3:29I can get this guy later, and he could go off.
3:33There's a chance he doesn't go off, but the offense there with the Jets definitely needs help.
3:37I don't know if Garrett Wilson's the ultimate solution there, but this guy's so physical, he's like 6'2", 6'4".
3:43He's a tall guy, 230, 40 pounds, and he runs like a 4.33.
3:47Go look up his stats. I probably butchered his stats, but he's like 6'4", 240.
3:51It's ridiculous. 4.33 speed. Okay? So he's very capable, if given the ball.
3:55Tons of upside with this guy, stash him later, right?
3:58That's a potential league winner. And the last one is going to be the most obvious league winner, but he's got the
4:04highest ceiling amongst any other player in Fantasy 2026.
4:07Okay? So stay to the end. Number two here is Cam Scadabo.
4:11Now, as you can see, the shirt I'm wearing, you know, I have a lot of faith.
4:16Now, I recommend everybody have some sort of faith because, you know, at the end of the day, man, this life is temporary.
4:22And I believe, you know, with absolute certainty that Jesus is the way.
4:26But up to you guys to do your own research on that as well.
4:30But Cam Scadabo, actually, I saw a video which I'm just meaning to post on my Insta.
4:35I might do it tonight here. But anyway, where he basically said, do you want to have dinner with God or win the Super Bowl?
4:43And he said, win the Super Bowl. And he was kind of like a little cold.
4:47And a lot of people, it kind of rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
4:52And the fact that he didn't really even give it a lot of thought.
4:56But anyway, it is what it is. Because when it comes to fantasy, though, I do like him a lot.
5:02I think he can win your leagues if he stays healthy.
5:05I think it's pretty obvious that the guy is pretty reckless.
5:08And I think he's going to have a short career.
5:11And I, again, if we want to go on a spiritual aspect of this, now that we're talking family and travel and all that stuff.
5:19And, you know, when you're talking spiritual, you know, Jesus has helped me.
5:22So I think God plays a huge role in people's success.
5:26Believe what you believe. But that's my thought on that.
5:29Jesus is the way. And he's helped my career.
5:31He helped me get down to the States. There's a lot of ways he's intertwined in my life.
5:37And, you know, I think hopefully Cam Scadabo finds his calling and his Jesus and his God.
5:41Because it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
5:44Regardless, I think he is a league winner. I think he's got a ton of upside if he stays healthy.
5:50Okay? Number three here. All right. Big time league winner.
5:53Absolutely love him is Carnell Tate. Now, I just posted a video of Carnell Tate looking amazing.
5:58All I hear is nothing but good things out of any type of camp that's been going on with the Titans.
6:04I definitely like Carnell Tate. I think he is amazing.
6:07Talent-wise, route runner, early draft capital guy. In a situation where the Titans just have not utilized any of their receivers.
6:13And don't have any top-tier talent outside of Carnell Tate.
6:16So, when I look at Carnell Tate, I'm like, dude, fifth round.
6:20I get this guy in the fifth round. And I get to get a wide receiver one.
6:25Sign me up on all rosters. Carnell Tate. Make sure you guys do draft him.
6:29I just love the value. And I love the fact that they invested so highly in the guy.
6:35So, sign me up on him. All right? Number four here, I don't care if I sound like a broken record because
6:41I'm going to keep talking about him. Because we're talking about guys that can win your leagues.
6:46And I know if you follow this channel regularly, you still don't want to skip this part because I want to hammer in my convictions here.
6:54But I got to go here with Emika Egbuka.
6:56The Eggman. Yes, eggs. One of my favorite meals in the morning.
7:00And I like, you know, pasture-raised eggs fresh with a little bit of turkey bacon.
7:04No antibiotics in the bacon. That's been helping me, you know, really lean up.
7:08So, yeah, man. Egbuka. I mean, there's no Mike Evans there.
7:11Huge opportunity to shine. Great talent. Sign me up, Egbuka.
7:14Round three ADP. And again, I see so many people drafting a first-round wide receiver avoiding running back.
7:20When you can get Egbuka and Carnell Tate as an amazing stack.
7:23Rounds three to five on average. I mean, sign me up.
7:26And you can work on your running back court.
7:29Again, my entire solution is in the 16 rounds.
7:32So, make sure you guys do grab the 16 Rounds draft solution, all right?
7:36And the last one here, like I said. If this guy gets a full opportunity, full workload, no interruptions.
7:41They just let him run wild, which they should this year.
7:45And signs are pointing that they actually will. Well, this guy is the number one player in fantasy.
7:50And he's going to break every single fantasy record.
7:53He's going to break CMC's 493, whatever it was, fantasy points in 2019.
7:56Whatever. Go look it up. CMC broke the record, most fantasy points.
8:00And I believe this guy can crush it if just given the opportunity.
8:04The guy I'm talking about is Jameer Gibbs. I mean, I know it's an obvious one, but we're talking league winners.
8:10I'm just saying, like, there's some people passing him up for, like, a Jamar Chase, something like that.
8:15I think that's a mistake. If you do have the first overall or second pick, I think Jameer Gibbs is a clear-cut
8:22option because, you know, Pacheco is a major downgrade from Montgomery.
8:25Now, again, I've been hearing they're going to use him.
8:28You know, the goal line, they're going to use him.
8:31Hopefully not. But sign me up, man. Sign me up for some Jameer Gibbs if I can get him.
8:36But, again, it's unlikely you're going to get Gibbs because unless you have the first or second round pick, first or second
8:43overall pick, you're not going to get him, right?
8:45So, again, I kind of went off on a tangent today to give you guys some insight on my life a little bit.
8:52I think it's important because I started my brand in 2016 predicated on the fact that I didn't like the way advice was being given.
8:59And now that it's come full circle, I've finally grown this thing out where I'm just so grateful that it is where
9:06it is and it's as big as where it is.
9:09And I appreciate everybody being here. So, I'm going to start sharing a little bit more of that.
9:14If you guys want more of those conversations, a little more insight other than just say here's five running, you know, players
9:20with no context, I could do that as well.
9:23But I just like adding a little bit of value that way as well, right?
9:27Subscribe, thumbs up, grab 16 Rounds of the Blades, and I will see you guys in daily videos.
9:33I'll try to keep these vlogs going as we tour going down south.
9:37I'm doing this over three nights. Again, just leaving West Virginia, heading to one of the Carolinas, and on my way down to South Florida.
9:44Subscribe, guys. Get 16 rounds. We'll talk soon. We'll talk soon.
