0:003 Big Name Players I Cant Stop Thinking About.
0:03One of them is a must draft. The last one, I'm telling you man, he's a top 3 pick.
0:08I'm telling you, you've got to avoid him. And the middle one, I have no idea why he's coming off in the second round.
0:15So I just can't stop thinking about these players.
0:17I just wanted to share my thoughts. Have a quick discussion with you on this Monday.
0:22Hope you guys have an outstanding day. I'm going to start rolling out the top 10 episodes starting tomorrow.
0:27Top 10 running backs, wide receivers and so on and so forth.
0:30So turn on the bell, you don't want to miss that.
0:33And also daily videos here. You don't want to miss anything.
0:36So subscribe. If you haven't gotten 16 rounds, make sure you guys secure it.
0:40Secure the solution, secure the championship. Sleepers, breakouts, auto players draft each round.
0:44Grab 16 rounds right now. I've linked it below.
0:47Alright, so who are the 3 players I can't stop thinking about?
0:50One of them is Jameer Gibbs. Okay? There's just been recent reports that he's going to be the workhorse without a doubt.
0:56Even Campbell came out, head coach saying, Listen, Gibbs is going to run wild.
1:00And that's what I love to hear. That's what I love to hear out of coaches.
1:04Sometimes coaches can lie. They can deceive. But in this case, I believe that they genuinely want to run Jameer Gibbs.
1:10That's why they got rid of Montgomery. On a side tangent, they actually just found out latest NFL news that Montgomery is going to be the workhorse.
1:18That was pretty obvious. Woody Marks is not that great.
1:21Okay? So that was big news. So both these guys are finally going to get in a position that they don't take
1:27away volume from each other, which is absolutely fantastic for them.
1:30Okay? So the first one, again, is Jameer Gibbs.
1:32The problem with Jameer Gibbs is you won't get Jameer Gibbs unless you have the first or second pick.
1:38At this point, I would easily say he's the 1.01 without a doubt, barring any type of injury.
1:43I think, again, situation, talent, opportunity, everything is leaning towards this guy getting a ton of work.
1:48I mean, last year, he was 243 attempts, which is like 11th in attempts.
1:52And he fished third in fantasy points. That's phenomenal.
1:54Okay? So I'm going to be talking about him a bit more in the running back episode.
1:59But again, I'm just doing some dialogue here, talking about some players that have been on my mind.
2:04I'm going to share that with you guys. Okay?
2:06All right. Second guy here that I don't understand why he's coming off in the second round after the latest news here.
2:13And that is Malik Nabors. Malik Nabors, guys, is coming off a major knee surgery.
2:17And they sculpt them out, cleaned them out again.
2:19And then they acquire Odell Beckham. And then they bring in Juju.
2:23And they move up to draft Malachi Fields. It's like, okay, there's a lot of signs pointing to this guy possibly not
2:29getting the volume that you think he will or get on the field as soon as you think he will.
2:34Okay? So understand, guys, he's rehabbing. And then there was that video I posted on my social.
2:39It was like a baseball game or something where he hit the ball and he basically was stumbling to first.
2:45He couldn't even run to first. So there's a lot of concerns here when you look at a guy like Malik Nabors,
2:51especially like I can't believe he's sitting as like wide receiver 11.
2:54That's ludicrous. Okay? And then you got Rashi Rice who's coming off just after him.
2:58There's a lot of players that are, especially wide receivers that are coming off very, very early that are in very suspect situations.
3:05So I just don't trust Malik Nabors again. I've been thinking about it and I just, I can't get out of my
3:11mind how expensive he is in drafts. Again, Jameer Gibbs can't get him off my mind.
3:16I'm hoping I draft 1.0 if I were to draft again.
3:19And Malik, I think he's overpriced. Now the last guy, I got to talk about this guy.
3:23Okay? Way too overpriced. And the problem is when you look at any wide receiver coming off of pinnacle here, you got
3:30to ask yourself like, is he going to duplicate those numbers?
3:33The guy I'm talking about is Jackson Smith-Njigba. Way too expensive.
3:36Way too overpriced. I'm going to pass on. I'll tell you guys why you need to avoid Jackson Smith.
3:41Okay? 1,700 yards last year. Very hard to duplicate.
3:44Out of his three years ago, there were one out of three years that were good.
3:48So that year could very well be an anomaly.
3:51He's paid and incentivized. He's the highest paid wide receiver like pretty much ever.
3:55And then now he's on an offense that's coming off a Super Bowl hangover.
3:58And Sam Donald's throwing the ball. Like I just, there's a lot of variables here that say there's probably a decline coming.
4:05So that's where I am with Jackson Smith. He's been on my mind a lot because the consensus that she just keeps
4:11telling you to draft this guy, I think that could be a major mistake.
4:15Okay? So again, I want to keep doing these daily videos to share my thoughts.
4:19I'm also going to be doing the rankings videos.
4:21That's coming soon. And I'm going to keep pounding out that content, the truth.
4:25So you guys have the advantage. So be aware.
4:28Malik Nabors, Jackson Smith, do some research. I gave you some reasons why you got to avoid these guys.
4:33Injury from Malik. Jackson Smith, you know, coming off a pinnacle here.
4:37Jameer Gibbs, why he's looking better. So you got to look at what's trending, what's going up and down.
4:42Don't just draft based on last year. If you draft based on last year, you might get some bad results.
4:47Okay? Because again, what they did last year doesn't necessarily mean they're going to do it this year.
4:53Okay? So start thinking outside the box. Again, if you haven't gotten 16 rounds, secure the solution, secure the championship.
4:58Grab 16 rounds. Head on over to thefantasyfootballcouncil.com. Swipe it, hype it.
5:02And let me know below. Are you drafting Jackson Smith-Njigba?
5:04Are you drafting Malik? Love to get your feedback here on this Monday.
5:08Again, short, concise videos coming to you daily. Turn on the bell.
5:11And a longer form video is going to start rolling out now as you get closer to the season.
5:17All right? I appreciate you guys being here. Lion Mentality.
5:19Let's see.
