We're going to have a fire show as we are giving you our top 20 uh fantasy football wide receivers yeah, yeah, receivers man.

00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:55.104
That's what I do, man.

00:00:55.145 --> 00:01:01.765
I pick the receivers man oh, you pick the receivers because you play receiver yeah, that's what I do, all right.

00:01:01.786 --> 00:01:12.381
All right, the people just want to listen to what I have to say, so they're able to win their fantasy leagues if they're not in ours well, yeah, yeah, we're gonna touch on our league at the end.

00:01:12.841 --> 00:01:14.846
Yeah, so you know you play receiver.

00:01:14.846 --> 00:01:28.402
Uh, you certainly play receiver, but as far as picking man, these fantasy receivers, man, I mean I've got titles, I've got trophies, I've got rings, you know, yeah, down, down and not not too dusty man, not too dusty.

00:01:28.402 --> 00:01:29.525
You know what I mean.

00:01:29.525 --> 00:01:35.143
When it matter of fact, multiple 90s trophies man multiple titles in in each league.

00:01:35.143 --> 00:01:40.542
You know I'm saying if you don't win at least two or three titles in the league, man, you're not doing anything.

00:01:40.923 --> 00:01:50.292
You know, what I mean you agree with that uh, well, I'm gonna wait till I get one, so I have probably rights like that all right, my man.

00:01:50.593 --> 00:01:51.537
Well, you've been playing for me.

00:01:51.537 --> 00:01:52.641
How long you've been playing?

00:01:53.685 --> 00:01:55.269
like four, four years.

00:01:55.269 --> 00:01:55.811
I think that.

00:01:55.811 --> 00:02:00.885
I think I'm going to my fifth year okay, you're going to play fantasy being in at least one league.

00:02:00.965 --> 00:02:04.203
So yeah, so you, you've been playing since you were nine, so yeah, that's crazy.

00:02:04.203 --> 00:02:04.855
So you're 14, so we got you started.

00:02:04.855 --> 00:02:05.878
Got you started, so yeah, so you, you've been playing since you were nine, so that's crazy.

00:02:05.878 --> 00:02:07.623
So you're 14, so we got you started.

00:02:07.623 --> 00:02:10.722
Got you started very early, so you definitely know what you're talking about.

00:02:10.722 --> 00:02:12.586
So we've been ranking.

00:02:12.586 --> 00:02:14.914
I think this is our third year.

00:02:15.395 --> 00:02:19.370
Uh, this is our third year giving our right yep third year ranking yeah.

00:02:19.389 --> 00:02:21.518
So we've been doing this for for many years now.

00:02:21.518 --> 00:02:32.682
So we're giving our top 20 receivers today, um, next week it'll be running backs, then it'll be quarterbacks, we'll do tight ends, we're going to rank everybody, so excited to do that.

00:02:32.682 --> 00:02:37.725
So give us your feedback, uh, you know, give us your comments as we go, your rankings.

00:02:37.725 --> 00:02:39.394
We definitely want to see and hear that.

00:02:39.394 --> 00:02:46.330
And again, if you have any questions, let us know, uh, because we definitely want to uh hear from you all.

00:02:46.330 --> 00:02:54.233
Right, well, hey, man, um, before we get into it, let's uh, let's just go ahead and dive into some, uh, some draft tips.

00:02:54.233 --> 00:02:56.544
You know, let's go ahead and do that.

00:02:56.544 --> 00:03:02.564
So, just, we're talking about receiver, just what, what are some tips that you have just from from drafting?

00:03:03.888 --> 00:03:06.193
um, well, I usually like to go for the receivers.

00:03:06.193 --> 00:03:11.960
The last, um, I think the last few drafts I've had tried to go for a receiver in the first round.

00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:21.867
Uh, last year I had the eighth pick and I got super lucky by getting tyreek um eighth pick and the draft he fell all the way to eighth.

00:03:21.867 --> 00:03:26.972
I was able to get him and he had the best, the best year anybody, so that was awesome for get him and he had the best year at anybody, so that was awesome for me.

00:03:26.972 --> 00:03:33.389
Wow, so that's usually why Because there are really five receivers that.

00:03:33.468 --> 00:03:40.205
I'm really confident in this year, like if you get them in your first round, then you're set Like that is your number one.

00:03:40.205 --> 00:03:44.691
They're going to put up big numbers every week.

00:03:44.691 --> 00:03:47.929
So going for a receiver is really the smart move.

00:03:47.929 --> 00:03:50.046
But Josh Allen, I like him.

00:03:50.046 --> 00:03:52.826
He's going to put up big numbers.

00:03:52.826 --> 00:03:55.367
If you want to go QB, you should go for him.

00:03:55.367 --> 00:03:57.444
And that's really it.

00:03:57.444 --> 00:03:58.108
I got it.

00:03:59.782 --> 00:04:06.848
Yeah, it's risky going QB because the thing is, with quarterback there is a lot of parity with the quarterback position.

00:04:06.848 --> 00:04:18.190
So you know, back in the day you had to get a running back first round, like you just had to get a back because they would go, and now receivers are like what running backs used to be.

00:04:18.190 --> 00:04:25.541
So you have to have great running backs and with the great receivers, with the running backs, they get hurt, a lot of them get hurt.

00:04:25.541 --> 00:04:29.230
You can kind of afford to get your running backs a little later.

00:04:29.230 --> 00:04:32.343
A lot of the top running backs are going to be hurt.

00:04:32.343 --> 00:04:36.733
So, um, you pretty much have to draft the receiver first.

00:04:36.733 --> 00:04:41.494
I mean, if you go quarterback it has to be a world world beater.

00:04:41.494 --> 00:04:41.935
You know what I?

00:04:41.954 --> 00:04:44.125
mean and the only quarterback.

00:04:44.125 --> 00:04:58.130
If I were to get a qb, I would take alan in the first round that would be the only person because, yeah, my homes, um, I don't know he's in a lot of blowout games, right, so his numbers won't always be top top.

00:04:58.130 --> 00:05:03.646
But, alan, I think his team is going to rely on him so much that if you were to go QB, I think he would be the guy.

00:05:04.067 --> 00:05:05.149
For sure, for sure.

00:05:05.149 --> 00:05:07.052
Yeah, I definitely agree with that.

00:05:07.052 --> 00:05:08.875
So just a couple of tips there.

00:05:08.875 --> 00:05:12.069
Another I've got a few more things to mention before we go into.

00:05:12.069 --> 00:05:13.903
We're going to so the format of today.

00:05:13.903 --> 00:05:20.605
You're going to go ahead and give your 20 through 11, then I'm going to get my 20 through 11, then you'll do your top 10.

00:05:20.605 --> 00:05:21.567
I'll do my top 10.

00:05:21.567 --> 00:05:25.535
So that's how we'll do it, and then we'll touch on our league at the end there.

00:05:25.535 --> 00:05:29.165
And I've got some comments on IG.

00:05:29.165 --> 00:05:34.067
So let's see Already that Angel said love the Curry behind you.

00:05:34.067 --> 00:05:37.225
So you got a shout out on your Curry there.

00:05:37.225 --> 00:05:41.312
So I got a few more comments to make here.

00:05:41.817 --> 00:05:52.252
Another thing that I like to do is I like to draft people from loaded teams, the good teams, teams that are going to score a lot, teams that have good offenses.

00:05:52.252 --> 00:06:02.752
So you want to be careful of getting too many players on teams that you know that are going to be bad, because if they're a bad team, they're not going to have as many offensive opportunities.

00:06:02.752 --> 00:06:14.290
So they might be the lead person they may get, get a lot of targets, but how many you know touchdowns are they actually going to get so some teams to look out for that.

00:06:14.290 --> 00:06:33.471
Really don't have bona fide number one receivers, but they're teams that you probably want to get some receivers for are buffalo uh, kansas city chief and the packers so I agree yeah those are three teams that you want to keep an eye out on and you can get, especially with those receivers.

00:06:33.512 --> 00:06:35.242
You'll get, you'll be able to pick up later.

00:06:35.723 --> 00:06:46.872
So when you get to the sixth, seven, you know even 10th, 11th round especially the chiefs yeah, exactly yeah, chiefs and the Packers, I think, are definitely them to go for.

00:06:46.872 --> 00:06:46.973
Yeah.

00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:50.148
So that's just another tip there.

00:06:50.148 --> 00:06:50.608
All right, man.

00:06:50.608 --> 00:06:53.689
Well, let's go ahead and get into the top 20.

00:06:53.689 --> 00:07:01.985
Why don't you go ahead and start, do your 20 through 11, and then I'll go through my 20 through 11, and we'll see where we are.

00:07:02.286 --> 00:07:02.646
All right.

00:07:02.646 --> 00:07:08.300
Okay, so my 20th.

00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:09.423
I got zay flowers from the baltimore ravens.

00:07:09.423 --> 00:07:22.122
He had a good rookie year last year, had about around 860 yards, I think, had a few touchdowns and they also had a rushing out of some rushing touchdowns in there okay um him.

00:07:22.903 --> 00:07:28.281
He really came around later in the season for the ravens as the number one option.

00:07:28.281 --> 00:07:38.310
I really took them to the next level and I think he's going to carry, carry us to net to next year and take his production to a whole other level and be a top 20 receiver.

00:07:38.711 --> 00:07:40.802
Okay and not number number nine.

00:07:40.802 --> 00:07:42.665
Hold on, but before you go there.

00:07:42.665 --> 00:07:45.872
No's great, I actually have him way higher.

00:07:47.141 --> 00:07:49.726
So I'm, I'm very high, I like, I like Zay Flowers.

00:07:49.887 --> 00:07:51.069
I like, I like his game.

00:07:51.110 --> 00:07:53.293
He reminds me a lot of Tyreek.

00:07:53.779 --> 00:07:54.903
Definitely, definitely.

00:07:54.903 --> 00:07:56.706
He reminds me a lot of Tyreek they.

00:07:56.706 --> 00:08:01.423
They didn't start really going to him as a number one, the numbers that he put up.

00:08:01.423 --> 00:08:05.702
They didn't start going to him as a number one off the bat one the numbers that he put up.

00:08:05.723 --> 00:08:12.165
They didn't start going to him as a number one off the bat, so the numbers and he didn't play in the final game, so exactly, yeah yeah, so I think they have him like very underrated they have him.

00:08:12.165 --> 00:08:15.031
They have him way lower on the espn.

00:08:15.031 --> 00:08:18.021
I think they have him at like they've got him.

00:08:18.642 --> 00:08:25.072
Uh, they've got him at 24 24, yeah, 24 yeah I think you should be all right in that.

00:08:25.072 --> 00:08:31.142
But anyway, number number 19, I have dj more from the bears.

00:08:31.142 --> 00:08:38.081
Feels weird to say, but I have him from the bears no longer with your panthers, man, yeah but he's.

00:08:38.081 --> 00:08:48.565
Last year he had a good year, number six in the whole league in receiving yards over 1,300 yards about eight touchdowns.

00:08:48.565 --> 00:08:50.306
So he had a good year.

00:08:50.306 --> 00:08:54.711
But the Bears loaded up on receivers this offseason.

00:08:54.711 --> 00:08:55.865
They got Keenan Allen.

00:08:55.865 --> 00:08:58.980
I don't know how long he's going to be healthy, so he's getting up there in eight.

00:08:59.059 --> 00:09:00.065
I don't really trust him.

00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:12.613
I didn't have him on this list because I don't trust his health and the Bears are stacked at receiver and Roma Junze, a top 10 pick, who was the third receiver taken in a loaded class.

00:09:12.613 --> 00:09:17.129
He's going to put up some numbers, so I have him at 19.

00:09:17.129 --> 00:09:20.549
Number 18, I have Debo Samuel.

00:09:20.549 --> 00:09:26.636
I like Debo Samuel because he can get you a lot of just points in fantasy.

00:09:26.636 --> 00:09:34.453
He can give you some receiving points, rushing points, touchdown bonuses, receiving bonuses, all types of things.

00:09:34.453 --> 00:09:37.184
The only thing about him is his health.

00:09:37.184 --> 00:09:42.120
I don't know if Brandon Ayuk is going to play for the Niners.

00:09:42.663 --> 00:09:43.283
I don't know.

00:09:43.625 --> 00:09:47.888
He's going to take some of his targets, so that's the only thing I'm worried about with him.

00:09:48.663 --> 00:09:51.100
And he's such a physical player too, yeah, true.

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:53.763
So he runs so hard, Like you said.

00:09:53.763 --> 00:09:55.708
That's the only thing about Debo.

00:09:56.341 --> 00:09:56.623
Outside.

00:09:56.623 --> 00:09:57.647
I like Debo a lot.

00:09:57.647 --> 00:10:00.307
Number 17, you got Mike Evans.

00:10:00.307 --> 00:10:04.070
He was number ninth in receiving yards last year.

00:10:04.070 --> 00:10:06.539
He's been very consistent.

00:10:06.539 --> 00:10:11.154
He hasn't had a single season where he's had less than a thousand yards.

00:10:11.154 --> 00:10:13.842
So you know, you can probably at least get that from him.

00:10:13.842 --> 00:10:20.988
But the only thing with him is that he's getting up in age and Chris Godwin he's, he's in it, he's in his prime about.

00:10:20.988 --> 00:10:24.436
So you don't know when he'll he might come up and take his spot.

00:10:24.436 --> 00:10:26.100
So you never know.

00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:33.173
With that number 16, I got davante smith from the eagles, um highest trophy receiver, by the way.

00:10:33.173 --> 00:10:36.183
Um, he he the thing with him.

00:10:36.183 --> 00:10:41.153
He got his bag this summer so and he's a number two receiver.

00:10:41.153 --> 00:10:54.567
So yeah, even though he's a great receiver, those two things but are the reason I have him lower than last year now let's let's expound on that, because that's a great point, because that's something that you and I talk about a lot.

00:10:54.788 --> 00:10:59.486
You know off camera and whatnot, so that's something else to factor in the equation.

00:10:59.486 --> 00:11:02.961
When you're considering a player, if there's a tiebreaker, you know.

00:11:02.961 --> 00:11:12.716
If there's a player who is about to get paid, you know is in a contract year, that gives them a notch up on why you may want to go with them.

00:11:12.716 --> 00:11:16.850
If it's a player that just got a bag again, still go with them.

00:11:16.850 --> 00:11:21.591
But when it comes to tiebreaker situations, that is something to factor in.

00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:24.145
And even looking at it from a player perspective.

00:11:24.145 --> 00:11:35.288
I know players are super competitive, but it may not even be on purpose, just like you know, it's just like happens, like sometimes you lean back, you're like well, I do have $30 million in my bank account this year.

00:11:35.288 --> 00:11:43.182
That doesn't even happen like on purpose, but that's just how it is sometimes Number 15, I got Brandon I.

00:11:43.202 --> 00:11:44.384
That's just how it is sometimes.

00:11:44.384 --> 00:11:45.184
Number 15, I got Brandon Ayuk.

00:11:45.184 --> 00:11:49.107
I have him low because I don't even know about this situation.

00:11:49.107 --> 00:11:50.970
He didn't show up to mandatory minicamps.

00:11:50.970 --> 00:11:53.631
Trade talks are still happening.

00:11:53.631 --> 00:11:55.452
He doesn't have his money.

00:11:55.452 --> 00:11:59.817
He's very frustrated, even though he was seventh in receiving yards last year.

00:11:59.817 --> 00:12:05.245
I have him lower because I just don't really trust him that much.

00:12:05.245 --> 00:12:07.611
I don't know because I can see him going off because he doesn't have his money.

00:12:07.611 --> 00:12:12.831
He's going to try to earn it, but it is also a strong possibility he doesn't play this year.

00:12:12.831 --> 00:12:17.168
So I got to have both of those in the equation.

00:12:17.168 --> 00:12:18.231
Okay, yeah.

00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:23.732
Number 14, I have Marvin Harrison Jr, the rookie from Ohio State.

00:12:23.732 --> 00:12:25.865
I trust him a lot.

00:12:25.865 --> 00:12:30.582
The Ohio State, they produce a lot of good receivers over there and he's going.

00:12:30.582 --> 00:12:41.620
I know the Cardinals weren't the best team last year, but I think if he is on a bad team, he does have a solid quarterback with Kyler and he is a really good receiver.

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:44.369
So I think it's good to have him in the top 15.

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.868
And number 13, I haveaylen waddle and it's sort of like the davante situation.

00:12:50.868 --> 00:13:01.780
He is the number two receiver and he did get his bag, true, yeah, but I know two likes to throw the ball a lot, so I know he's gonna get get get his yards.

00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:07.153
He did get injured last year too, so and injuries be a part of it too.

00:13:07.153 --> 00:13:11.586
And yeah, number 12, I have cooper cup um.

00:13:11.586 --> 00:13:14.591
He, I, I don't.

00:13:14.591 --> 00:13:18.162
I I have puka nakua ahead of cooper cup um.

00:13:18.162 --> 00:13:20.827
So, yeah, I just don't trust cup.

00:13:20.827 --> 00:13:33.687
He's been injured the last two years, at least partial, partially of the season, and he did have a great year in 2021, arguably the best year ever for a receiver and since then he hasn't been the same.

00:13:33.788 --> 00:13:35.649
Oh yeah, I wish I had the clip.

00:13:35.649 --> 00:13:39.913
I wish I had the clips because you were on here before Cup Cup, cup Cup.

00:13:39.913 --> 00:13:45.217
You had him as your number one receiver going into that next year and I told you.

00:13:45.217 --> 00:13:47.927
I told you that that was a bad move.

00:13:47.927 --> 00:13:49.253
You know what I mean.

00:13:49.780 --> 00:13:51.208
Why are you throwing shots at me, man?

00:13:51.208 --> 00:13:53.086
Now?

00:13:53.086 --> 00:13:54.693
He's barely in your top 20.

00:13:54.693 --> 00:13:58.607
Okay, all right, he's not barely, he's number 12.

00:13:58.607 --> 00:14:00.187
He's barely in my top 10.

00:14:00.187 --> 00:14:01.725
That's how you should say it.

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:07.403
You ought to learn how to use your words, I phrased it, that's you gotta learn how to use your word.

00:14:07.423 --> 00:14:08.486
No, I phrased it that way on purpose.

00:14:08.486 --> 00:14:08.969
No, no, you didn't.

00:14:08.969 --> 00:14:09.068
Okay.

00:14:09.068 --> 00:14:10.371
Number 11 I got nico collins.

00:14:10.371 --> 00:14:12.719
He was, he was up.

00:14:12.719 --> 00:14:18.972
He was a really good receiver last year, eighth in receiving yards for cj and the texans um playoff team.

00:14:18.972 --> 00:14:21.405
They are a good team, so that's probably what you're saying earlier.

00:14:21.405 --> 00:14:24.604
The texans are going to score a lot of points so I feel very confident.

00:14:24.604 --> 00:14:29.144
Confident about Nico and the offense, especially with what he did last year.

00:14:29.144 --> 00:14:30.849
So, yeah, that's a good one.

00:14:31.089 --> 00:14:31.870
Okay, all right.

00:14:31.870 --> 00:14:34.386
All right, so that's your 20 through 11.

00:14:34.386 --> 00:14:39.532
All right, so let me move on to my 20 through 11 here.

00:14:39.532 --> 00:14:44.203
Get my notes here.

00:14:44.203 --> 00:14:55.095
So with all of my players I also have the ESPN rankings so I can compare, and a lot of my guys, I disagree with a lot of the ESPN rankings.

00:14:55.095 --> 00:14:55.635
Yeah.

00:14:55.655 --> 00:14:56.196
I do too.

00:14:56.436 --> 00:14:59.504
Yeah, yeah, a lot of players that they have lower, I have higher.

00:14:59.504 --> 00:15:01.190
A lot of people that have higher, I have lower.

00:15:01.190 --> 00:15:04.049
So I'll give you a comparison as I go through those.

00:15:04.049 --> 00:15:08.590
So number 20, I've got T t higgins of the bangles.

00:15:08.590 --> 00:15:12.860
I got t higgins, so the espn has him at number 27.

00:15:13.541 --> 00:15:18.466
Wow, yeah, they were just high on him last year, yeah yes, yes.

00:15:18.988 --> 00:15:24.434
So um t higgins has a lot to play for right.

00:15:24.434 --> 00:15:30.741
He's looking for a long-term deal.

00:15:30.741 --> 00:15:31.842
He's on a winning team.

00:15:31.842 --> 00:15:34.024
He's on a team with a high-powered offense.

00:15:34.024 --> 00:15:37.629
The Bengals are my pick to win it all.

00:15:37.629 --> 00:15:40.932
So they're my early pick to win it all right now.

00:15:40.932 --> 00:15:44.056
So I think they're going to be firing on all cylinders.

00:15:44.056 --> 00:15:47.043
Then Burrow gets off to a quick start.

00:15:47.062 --> 00:15:53.173
Um they what happened to the lions man uh, oh yeah, no, no, no, no, that's right.

00:15:53.173 --> 00:15:57.331
No, I got the bangles going to the super bowl I got, but I got the lions winning.

00:15:57.410 --> 00:15:57.692
I got the.

00:15:57.692 --> 00:15:58.341
You're lucky.

00:15:58.341 --> 00:16:00.187
I cleaned that up for you, that's right that's right.

00:16:00.187 --> 00:16:03.725
Yeah, yeah, that's right I should have just let you stay with that right you're trying to be mad at me.

00:16:03.946 --> 00:16:05.067
Yeah, I've got the lions.

00:16:05.067 --> 00:16:08.500
I've got the lions bangles, but I've got the bangles going to the super bowl.

00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:11.028
But with that said, the afc is going to be loaded.

00:16:11.028 --> 00:16:12.110
They got a lot of teams to beat.

00:16:12.110 --> 00:16:14.947
They got to beat the chiefs, they've got to beat the ravens.

00:16:14.947 --> 00:16:16.230
They have a lot of people they have to beat.

00:16:16.780 --> 00:16:20.144
Um, but I think higgins has a big year, has a lot to play for again.

00:16:20.144 --> 00:16:22.748
So I have Higgins as my number 20.

00:16:22.748 --> 00:16:25.471
As my number 19,.

00:16:25.471 --> 00:16:28.816
I've got Tyler Lockett of the Seahawks.

00:16:28.816 --> 00:16:30.582
I got Tyler Lockett of the Seahawks.

00:16:30.582 --> 00:16:36.774
So now with the Seahawks, lockett is a consistent player.

00:16:36.774 --> 00:16:39.065
So the ESPN has him at 44.

00:16:39.065 --> 00:16:41.090
They've got him way too low.

00:16:41.090 --> 00:16:42.393
They've got him way too low.

00:16:42.393 --> 00:16:44.445
So Lockett always plays.

00:16:44.445 --> 00:16:47.331
He's super consistent, plays every game.

00:16:47.331 --> 00:16:52.746
So you also have Metcalf on that team, but Lockett is the more consistent one.

00:16:52.746 --> 00:16:57.246
The other thing that I like about Lockett is he doesn't have some receivers.

00:16:57.246 --> 00:17:09.387
They'll end up with 1,000 yards or they end up with 900-something yards, but what will happen is they'll have a couple of really big games and then they have a bunch of clunkers and that'll mess you up.

00:17:09.387 --> 00:17:14.651
Fantasy wise, give me a guy that's going to consistently have decent games.

00:17:14.651 --> 00:17:14.971
Go ahead.

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:16.526
I had lock it last year.

00:17:16.526 --> 00:17:18.395
He wasn't as consistent last year.

00:17:18.395 --> 00:17:22.009
I'm going to say say that he wasn't as consistent last year.

00:17:22.221 --> 00:17:23.246
So he's been.

00:17:23.246 --> 00:17:26.644
He's been consistent every year I've had, so it's probably because you drafted him.

00:17:27.045 --> 00:17:34.253
You probably because he's getting older no man he may just be declining just a little bit.

00:17:34.334 --> 00:17:35.657
Every year I've had lockett.

00:17:35.657 --> 00:17:37.742
He's been solid, he's been consistent for me.

00:17:37.742 --> 00:17:41.570
So hey, if he's there a little later, I'll take him.

00:17:41.570 --> 00:17:44.547
I've got him as my 19 I'll take him on my team.

00:17:44.606 --> 00:17:44.988
I wouldn't.

00:17:44.988 --> 00:17:48.428
I wouldn't have him as a starter, but that's probably gonna be hard to do.

00:17:48.428 --> 00:17:49.851
I will definitely take all right.

00:17:49.851 --> 00:17:52.449
That'd be hard to have him on your team and not be a starter.

00:17:53.172 --> 00:18:02.762
Yeah, depends how good you draft yeah, I mean on on my team because I I'm heavy receiver, so if I'm drafting lockett he's probably my third receiver.

00:18:02.762 --> 00:18:09.609
You know, I mean because I take a lot of receivers early, so yeah, but I've got Lockett as my 13th, all right.

00:18:09.609 --> 00:18:14.031
My number 18, I've got Devontae Smith from the Eagles.

00:18:14.031 --> 00:18:15.526
So deep threat.

00:18:15.526 --> 00:18:19.611
He put up what over 1,000 yards last year, seven TDs.

00:18:19.611 --> 00:18:30.567
Again, he's competing with AJ Brown, but I think Devontae, he's competing with AJ Brown, but I think Devontae, he just takes the top off of the defense and I think he is going to get his numbers no matter what.

00:18:30.567 --> 00:18:33.248
So he's a good pick there at 18.

00:18:33.469 --> 00:18:35.990
The ESPN had him at 21.

00:18:35.990 --> 00:18:37.851
My number 17,.

00:18:37.851 --> 00:18:39.813
I've got Marvin Harrison Jr.

00:18:39.813 --> 00:18:40.992
I have him in there.

00:18:40.992 --> 00:18:43.515
He's my only rookie that I have on the list.

00:18:43.515 --> 00:18:48.357
So again, he has Kyler Murray as his quarterback.

00:18:48.357 --> 00:18:57.892
He's the only receiver there, has a, has a good quarterback strong arm, so he's going to get his touches and he's going to put up a decent number.

00:18:57.892 --> 00:19:00.006
So I've got him slated at 17.

00:19:00.006 --> 00:19:01.851
Espn actually has him at 13.

00:19:02.299 --> 00:19:03.487
Yeah, I have him really high yeah.

00:19:03.508 --> 00:19:03.950
I have him at 14.

00:19:03.950 --> 00:19:05.057
Espn actually has him at 13.

00:19:05.057 --> 00:19:05.599
They have him really high.

00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:07.092
I have him at 14.

00:19:07.092 --> 00:19:10.405
I could have had him a little lower, but I like him.

00:19:10.405 --> 00:19:13.326
But I'm hesitant on rookies a little bit.

00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:19.425
Well, hey, fun fact, I one time drafted a rookie in the first round.

00:19:19.425 --> 00:19:21.326
It was my very first draft.

00:19:21.326 --> 00:19:22.442
It was back.

00:19:22.442 --> 00:19:23.727
I think it was 96.

00:19:23.727 --> 00:19:25.085
I think it was 96 or 90.

00:19:25.085 --> 00:19:26.309
I can't remember the year, but my very first draft, it was back, I think it was 96.

00:19:26.309 --> 00:19:26.682
I think it was 96 or 90.

00:19:26.682 --> 00:19:29.987
I can't remember the year, but my very first fantasy football draft.

00:19:30.407 --> 00:19:39.112
Okay, in the first round I selected Randy Moss and he was a rookie and I got laughed at and clowned.

00:19:39.112 --> 00:19:41.449
I'm like, oh, what are you doing, taking a rookie?

00:19:41.449 --> 00:19:43.486
And he went off.

00:19:43.486 --> 00:19:47.130
Everybody knows he had a legendary rookie year and it worked out well.

00:19:47.130 --> 00:19:59.038
Now, as far as drafting, although he was a beast, it probably still wasn't the best pick, because if you can get a player in the fifth round, then don't take them in the first.

00:19:59.038 --> 00:20:01.037
So that was the mistake that I made.

00:20:01.037 --> 00:20:06.700
So, even though he had a great year, I could have stacked up other players and I still probably could have gotten Randy Moss later.

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:10.137
So anyway, that was my story on that, all right.

00:20:10.250 --> 00:20:16.079
So number 16, I've got Amari Cooper of the Browns.

00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:19.440
So ESPN has him as low as 32.

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:27.864
And Cooper last year he put up,250 yards, played 15 games had five TDs.

00:20:27.864 --> 00:20:36.320
And what I like about Cooper also again, he's still a speedster and I feel they're going to have a good season.

00:20:36.320 --> 00:20:42.088
They've got a great running game, they've got a good line, they have a good defense, they have a lot of pieces, so they're an offense that's going to get a great running game.

00:20:42.088 --> 00:20:57.737
They've got a good line, they have a good defense, they have a lot of pieces, so they're an offense that's going to get a lot of opportunities and with Cooper being the number one option, I think he's a great selection and in a lot of your drafts you'll probably be able to get him a little lower, but I think he's someone that you'll be able to steal.

00:20:57.737 --> 00:21:06.753
All right, number 15, this is is gonna be a shocker, but watch, this guy's gonna have a huge year.

00:21:06.753 --> 00:21:17.618
I've got jayden reed of the green bay packers yes, of the green bay packers what yes, yes, dude had.

00:21:17.739 --> 00:21:23.656
So he they really didn't even start throwing him the ball until the second half of the season.

00:21:23.656 --> 00:21:30.201
He totally came on the scene second half of the season but he still had eight touchdowns last year.

00:21:30.201 --> 00:21:32.295
Okay, your top guys again.

00:21:32.295 --> 00:21:34.000
Devontae Smith had seven.

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:40.222
Waddle Four Moore, who was one of the top receivers back there, had eight Right.

00:21:40.222 --> 00:21:44.741
So he was one of the top top guys as far as receivers Watch.

00:21:44.741 --> 00:21:46.457
He's going to have a huge year.

00:21:46.457 --> 00:21:50.394
He's the number one receiver for the Packers and we all know how low the.

00:21:50.394 --> 00:21:50.996
Packers are.

00:21:51.396 --> 00:21:51.817
Oh no.

00:21:52.057 --> 00:21:53.442
Yes, he is All right, watch.

00:21:53.442 --> 00:22:00.203
Hey, I was the guy that drafted Diggs when he went to Buffalo all right Congratulations.

00:22:04.510 --> 00:22:04.934
And I got Diggs.

00:22:04.934 --> 00:22:05.843
Like everybody had Diggs rated low that year.

00:22:05.843 --> 00:22:07.915
I got him like in the seventh or eighth round.

00:22:07.915 --> 00:22:10.739
Now you see where Diggs is.

00:22:10.739 --> 00:22:11.873
You know what I'm saying.

00:22:11.873 --> 00:22:14.898
So watch Jaden Reed, green Bay Packers.

00:22:14.898 --> 00:22:19.250
He is a number 15 receiver, watch, all right.

00:22:19.250 --> 00:22:31.044
So next I've got Drake from the falcons is my receiver rake, all right, yep, yep, I've got drake, my um, so number one.

00:22:31.044 --> 00:22:31.945
He's got kurt.

00:22:31.945 --> 00:22:34.051
He's got kurt, cousins throwing to him.

00:22:34.051 --> 00:22:38.971
He's the number one receiver and the falcons are going to be of the team of that division.

00:22:38.971 --> 00:22:42.057
All right, uh, number 13.

00:22:42.057 --> 00:22:43.441
I've got j Jalen Waddle.

00:22:43.441 --> 00:22:45.332
All right, like you, I've got Waddle.

00:22:45.332 --> 00:22:48.136
Waddle is rated number 22 on ESPN.

00:22:48.156 --> 00:22:54.596
I'm shocked by that he again had a thousand yard season and is a speedster.

00:22:54.596 --> 00:22:56.843
Tyreek isn't going to catch every ball.

00:22:56.843 --> 00:22:58.932
Miami's going to put up a ton of points.

00:22:58.932 --> 00:23:01.497
So Waddle is a great number two.

00:23:01.497 --> 00:23:03.420
Got him at number 13.

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:05.042
All right, I've got two more here.

00:23:05.042 --> 00:23:10.651
Number 12, I have DJ Moore of the Chicago Bears.

00:23:10.651 --> 00:23:16.473
Dj Moore put up 1,364 yards and the Bears were awful last year Eight TDs.

00:23:16.473 --> 00:23:26.339
Just imagine what he's going to do this year with the new quarterback, with the other weapons, the other receivers they, he is going to have a monster, monster year.

00:23:26.339 --> 00:23:31.462
So definitely want to draft him and ESPN has him at 19.

00:23:31.462 --> 00:23:33.144
I can't believe he's where.

00:23:33.144 --> 00:23:34.384
I have him to 19.

00:23:34.384 --> 00:23:35.665
You got him in 19.

00:23:35.665 --> 00:23:40.288
Yeah, you've got him way too low, Way, way too low, All right.

00:23:43.609 --> 00:23:45.676
And then my last on my team for a long time and I know this guy pretty well.

00:23:45.696 --> 00:23:46.238
So, yeah, yeah he.

00:23:46.238 --> 00:23:48.906
He was on the uh panthers and they had no quarterback.

00:23:48.906 --> 00:24:04.990
Now, now he has a quarterback, so now he's gonna lose his mind okay, uh, caleb all right, yes, heisman trophy winner you know who else the heisman trophy winner uh bryce young, I don't know about that.

00:24:06.213 --> 00:24:07.035
You know who's not a.

00:24:07.035 --> 00:24:07.836
You know who's not a.

00:24:07.836 --> 00:24:10.080
Heisman trophy winner cj.

00:24:10.521 --> 00:24:14.974
You're always hating on cj because he's not bryce hating on cj.

00:24:14.974 --> 00:24:20.020
Man you need to get, let me go who won the Heisman Trophy over CJ Bryce?

00:24:20.781 --> 00:24:22.724
Who beat CJ in the head-to-head?

00:24:22.724 --> 00:24:29.477
Bryce who was drafted over CJ Bryce Bryce always has the edge.

00:24:30.270 --> 00:24:31.095
Bryce has the edge.

00:24:31.095 --> 00:24:37.395
Okay, who was at the big party, the big party where they all wear white?

00:24:37.395 --> 00:24:38.739
Who was at the Esby's?

00:24:39.099 --> 00:24:39.622
Was he there?

00:24:39.622 --> 00:24:47.175
Bryce was at the Esby's, was he I'm I'm I'm shocked.

00:24:47.215 --> 00:24:48.479
They let him into the sbs.

00:24:48.479 --> 00:24:49.060
I'm shocked.

00:24:49.060 --> 00:24:51.855
Yeah, of course they let him at the I can't believe that.

00:24:51.996 --> 00:24:54.290
I cannot believe that of course they let him at the sbs.

00:24:54.290 --> 00:24:59.739
I mean you could have gotten sb and sb for what?

00:24:59.739 --> 00:25:01.761

Best heisman trophy winner no no, no, no, no, no, no, hey, roy.

00:25:07.269 --> 00:25:11.839
Shout out to roy for 49, as he says cj is having a better nfl career.

00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:18.098
Shout out to roy, man, we see so mad by looking at that video of cj throwing balls to travis scott.

00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.324
That was that was crazy.

00:25:20.324 --> 00:25:21.055
That was crazy.

00:25:21.055 --> 00:25:21.942
All right, let me All right.

00:25:21.942 --> 00:25:26.376
Let me get to my 11 before I kick it back to you for your top 10.

00:25:26.376 --> 00:25:30.877
My number 11 receiver I've got Puka Nakua.

00:25:30.877 --> 00:25:32.855
Puka Nakua of the Rams.

00:25:32.855 --> 00:25:38.051
Yeah, Puka Nakua, he had a monster year Summer.

00:25:38.051 --> 00:25:38.634
Pull that.

00:25:38.634 --> 00:25:41.811
I think you had a question If you could pull the other one back up, Diego.

00:25:41.811 --> 00:25:44.140
Who performed better, Bryce or CJ?

00:25:47.176 --> 00:25:48.160
Oh what the ESPYs?

00:25:49.451 --> 00:25:50.215
No, just period.

00:25:50.215 --> 00:25:51.615
So you're still saying oh who?

00:25:51.634 --> 00:25:52.397
performed better.

00:25:52.397 --> 00:25:54.080
Well, that's complicated.

00:25:54.080 --> 00:25:59.199
Because that's complicated, I'm going to give it another year, because rookie years are hard to judge by, you know.

00:25:59.199 --> 00:26:00.862
Okay, I'll give it another year.

00:26:01.403 --> 00:26:02.987
Okay, all right.

00:26:03.086 --> 00:26:03.367
All right?

00:26:03.387 --> 00:26:04.971
Okay, We'll take that one down Now Summer.

00:26:04.971 --> 00:26:06.758
Was there another question after that?

00:26:06.758 --> 00:26:11.546
And then let's see CJ Stroud, rookie of the year, and won a playoff game.

00:26:11.546 --> 00:26:12.269
Okay, that was a comment.

00:26:12.289 --> 00:26:13.951

00:26:14.112 --> 00:26:16.994
