What's going on guys it's Nick here back in that video today We're going to five players that I really like but I'm close to zero buzz this offseason first up We've got Devin Singletary average ADP round pick 95 depends on the site Basically when you're looking in this range looking for upside, right? I mean we're past the range where everything is assured at the running mat position There is absolutely no certainty that anyone past really the top like 60 65 picks is going to get a strong workload this season you get close to pick a hundred and Devin Singletary is sitting there He actually has featured running back upside. He was awesome on Houston last season So if you remember last season the open team in Pierce Everyone just figured Damien Pierce was a guy Damien Pierce kind of stunk they threw in Singletary, you know, maybe like two months into the season and he was fantastic towards the end of the year They were featuring him. They wouldn't take him off the field unless he was like gasping for air Like they just wanted him out there every single flight and he was great for them on offense They wanted him back as well, but the Giants were pretty aggressive and going after him in free agency He got a decent contract as well. I was a similar deal to like Tony Pollard But it was honestly a better deal than Derek Henry got that Aaron Jones got like they were aggressive and being like, you know You're good We want you to kind of fill this role that's missing now. Let's say Juan is on team Is he gonna be safe on broccoli? No, of course not. He's not gonna be that good But you don't need him to be when I'm close to pick a hundred here Everyone likes Tyrant Tracy Jr. Everyone wants to think oh Eric Gray could be something this season Eric Gray was Putrid as a rookie and he's missed a lot of camp with injury. He's gotten a little bit of hype I don't think there's anything there. I don't think he's any sort of threat and again everyone's in love with Tyrant Tracy Jr But we do need to remember that like he was a six year college athlete. That's a negative Four years at wide receiver two years at running max So he's doing running my position also negative people really want to spin that right? They want to be like, oh, okay, so maybe he's just learning the running back position He's gonna get really good at it could also mean maybe he's not that good at it If he hasn't learned his position for a while also everyone wants to be like remember Antonio Gibson Gibson was like, oh my goodness. He's gonna be like a wide receiver out there, right? We see that Tyrant Tracy Jr. Four years at wide receiver like oh my goodness He's basically wide receivers gonna split him up wide He's gonna take all these passing down snaps his best season ever in college as a wide receiver was 36 receptions so he wasn't exactly some prolific wide receiver in college He could also be nothing or at least like, you know a clear backup, right? There's an out here where Devin Singletary is a close-to-featured running back someone let's just say getting 70% of the snaps most week. It's on a bad team a low scoring team Daniel Jones will still touch downs I get all of that, but we are very late in the draft and we're approaching a range where it is Actually handcuffs actually backups and yet there's a chance you're getting someone who has featured upside So I think he's being drafted very close to his floor. He is a pretty good talent I've kind of been down on him at times in the past But he basically proves me wrong every single season. He just goes out there and does really really well Stays healthy has a strong role teams like him I think that continues this season great great great pick as you've been trending back awesome player It's Kobe Myers after that Been talking about him for like the last month just being like I don't understand why the hype isn't getting higher on him wide receiver 62 44, but then 28 and 25 in points per game over the last four years and if you look back at the wide receiver 64 wide receiver 44 that was when he had a zero and two touchdowns remember that was the whole thing on New England and he could throw For touchdowns, but he was never used in the receiving game once they got into the red zone It was just so wild. It was like, you know, he's good. He was capable But they just like never looked his way now finally has the touchdowns these last two seasons wide receiver 28 25 points per game 80p right now wide receiver 54 Yet he's having an unbelievable camp. He's the locked in wide receiver, too I know Trey Tucker is like kind of getting involved a little bit more in year two, right? He's getting some deep shots. That's kind of what he is. I don't want to call him a gadget player But he's more just that person or it's like, you know We're gonna walk in every week being like two three shots to trade Tucker because it's super valuable when you have someone like that Who can not only stretch your defense, but then actually get behind them actually school these long touchdowns? That's super important for winning in football. So Tucker's gonna have a role But I mean my eyes obviously gonna have a very strong target share 71 receptions over 800 yards eight touchdowns with mostly Aiden O'Connell last season. I mean Mench is an upgrade and you kind of look through like Who he's been playing with right? He's been a top 28 wide receiver each of the last two years and points per game Mac Jones Bailey Zappy Aiden O'Connell Jimmy G and Brian Hoyer So I understand he's not getting some massive upgrade, right? This isn't like Drake London going from trash to Current cousins, right? That's a huge upgrade. That's why he goes way up, you know when he's producing as well He was like a wide receiver three wide receiver four and now you're taking him in round two like the early second round Huge upgrade there Myers Let's be honest could be playing with the best quarterback he's played with over these last two seasons and yet He's just produced as you know a quality flex option back to back years And he's going as the 54th wide receiver of sports again in his season where he had zero touchdowns He was 64th with only two touchdowns who's 44th and you're gonna average that Well, we're protecting him for one touchdown this season like it doesn't make any sense. And again Minchu's fine Like he's not some amazing quarterback But you at least know what you're getting with Gardner Minchu and its quality quarterback play It's still a low volume offense, you know Myers is probably not going to be a wide receiver one But he's definitely going to beat the wider tier 54 and he absolutely has a chance to be a top 25 wide receiver He's been hovering around that and now he's got better quarterback play. Why could he not be a top 25 wide receiver? Third unless Joe McLaughlin P-Rine last season 50 receptions. Do you want to Williams 47 McLaughlin 31 the Broncos had by far by a mile The most receptions at the running back position last season and that is not a fluke that is not from quarterback play That's because of Sean Payton Sean Payton. That's just how he operates He is awesome for running backs in fantasy football You can identify the most valuable running back on a Sean Payton offense. That is a gold mine in fantasy now last season It was a little bit weird because you did have P-Rine racking up 50 receptions on his own but then doing absolutely nothing in the ground and yet kind of had McLaughlin used in a similar way as well Not used much much on the ground, but also racking up receptions It was like they kind of split in amongst the three And you're like Nick they're gonna do the same thing this season not really so it kind of seems like P-Rines on the way out and now I don't know if they're gonna cut him We're probably gonna find out very soon But I don't know that he's going to have a role if they do keep him I kind of feel like they're gonna cut him because why keep him if you're not even wrong seems like the 300 max of rolling with this season is Johnson Williams Joe McLaughlin, but then Estimae Audrey Estimae now estimate is not P-Rine Estimae is a behemoth on the ground right? He is just a tank a unit. He's a threat for Johnson Williams on the ground He's the threat for goal line touches. He is not a threat in receiving him So if we look at it, I'm like, okay if we're going from P-Rine who was a receiving specialist To Estimae who's an early down specialist Take those 50 receptions a ton of them are gonna go Jalil McLaughlin like he's gonna be their third down back. He's gonna be their two-minute back when they're losing We're gonna be losing a lot Champagne loves him. He's an exceptional talent. He was highly efficient last season Honestly yards perception wasn't great last season, but he was great on the ground so they're not afraid to give him carries He'll mix in on the ground, but he's gonna have so much receiving work It's like are we getting kind of like Alvin Kamara Light? Like do we think he could rack up 50 60 65 Receptions this season really really pushed to even in half P-P-R scoring you get to 60 65 receptions You're having a very strong season if you're doing anything with that on the ground I also feel like bonyx might be good now. I don't know if he's gonna be amazing They're still projected to be the second lowest scoring team, but that also just means we're gonna lose a lot of games They're gonna be trailing that's McLaughlin time So I've talked about how I do like Estimae and I think Sean Payton really likes Estimae as one I think he has upside especially something would do happen to John to Williams But I think regardless McLaughlin is going to have a very strong role in this team He's gonna be utilized a lot more than people think and because he has that super valuable passing down role He's kind of the one I want right now So if I was like ranking them in terms of like ADP value it'd be McLaughlin then it would be Estimae Then Jean to Williams but Estimae and Jean to Williams would be very very similar Estimae just because like if you were in like a 14 team league, but still get him pretty late I think that's just really strong value because of the upside, but in terms of like drafting I'd still take Williams first But there's a pretty big difference in ADP between Williams and McLaughlin And I think McLaughlin especially for those who have full P-P-R At least even half P-P-R who in the mid 13th round that is an awesome pick to make that late And that's mid 13th round in a 12 team league team later in 10 Another player taste some hill. I know no one wants to hear his name But he's the Titan 27 off-board right now. I have him as a Titan 13 and half P-P-R scoring Not as good in full P-P-R. So I've had a lot of people ask me like should we be going up from full P-P-R I mean technically I do have his evaluate right Titan 20 and full P-P-R scoring But he's not gonna have that many interceptions the value here is that he's just gonna be used in so many areas, right? He is going to like be their goal line back. He's gonna goal line touches He's gonna be motioned out wide in the slot From a Titan position as a full back Which will also get him more goal line because we use full back carries for him as well use him and play action as well He'll probably line up at quarterback at times we use him with flea flickers things like that like he's going to have such a large role And I know it's like oh, you know that he used to have that old staff lights on but as a new staff Everything that we've been reading is that the new staff likes him even more Which is like kind of crazy But the new staff like made it a point to visit with him and tell them how much they love him How massive of role is gonna have and then all we hear throughout camp is that he's being lined up Everywhere he's being used in all areas of the game as like a weapon on offense Let's be honest. There are very few tight ends when the later rounds that actually have upside I would say the entire list is like Conklin Likely John who smith phant gesicki dulcich and Tucker craft. That's basically the list, right? But even within that list the actual upside that many of these guys have is not even top five It'd be top five if they got Unbelievably lucky with touchdowns most of these guys don't have league winning upside Taste some hill if he's gonna mix in every single week for like a pass attempt a couple targets Usage in the red zone and multiple carries and you can get that at like again the twenty seven ten enough board So super late mostly behind everyone. I think behind Conklin likely John ou phant gesicki. I think then dulcich and craft go behind him. Well, I do also like but You're getting him basically free double dip if you do happen to miss out on these top seven tight ends You know, you then you don't go after a joker You don't go after Ferguson and you want to just wait a super long time You want to go like Conklin and then taste some hill and just see because it's entirely possible that like, you know at his Advanced age for an NFL player at this point that maybe it's getting over hyped a little bit I don't think it is though And if you just double dip later on you've got that upside to where if he hits you kick out the other tight end You trade taste some hill if he goes off because that's also one thing we've looked historically little Note for draft strategy here the best thing you can possibly do at the tight end position historically in terms of winning a championship Is trading high always always always trade high on a tight end if there's any tight end That's a great trade high candidate. It is tastes of hill if he goes out there and in back-to-back weeks He has a rushing touchdown with like two receptions added in and he's got like six or seven carries and people like Oh my goodness. This guy's gonna give me a cheat code at the tight end position You sell high you gain a ton of value based on that but yeah, no matter who you look at I believe the only player last season was Sam Laporta and even him It was like basically even whether you traded him away or kept him always sell high at tight end if you are able to And taste some hill if you can get him for free and then sell high you're doing Phenomenally last player we got today is Sam darlin. I know no one wants to talk about Sam darlin with obvious reasons He's Sam darlin but any starting quarterback for the Vikings will be good in fantasy cousins was the quarterback six through week eight before his injury last season Then you have dobs taking over weeks nine through 13. He made starts He was the quarterback 11 over that time. Nick Mullens made starts in weeks 15 16 and 18 He was the quarterback 11 11 and five And then you add on jefferson was only active in 10 of those 18 games Like quarterback one whether it was cousins whether it was Mullens whether it was dobs You had a quarterback one in fantasy if you just started the starting quarterback in the minnesota bikings I know that sam darlin gets a bad rap We have seen glimpses like when we were going into year two for him even on jets with terrible Weapons terrible coaching. We were like hey Worth a flyer later on because he seems kind of solid as rookie season He fell off after that because again terrible coaching terrible weapons Then he moves to the panthers and it's like oh great terrible coaching again Terrible weapons. It was like he's never really had it. Now. He's got the coaching He's got the weapons. Obviously. He's a stacked offense, right? Well, especially when everyone starts to get healthy There's very clear upside here and it's another great double dip pick If you miss out on the top 11 quarterbacks, don't panic Take a shot on calib Williams jared goth if we really think jared goth's playing, you know in a dome In virtually every single game this season 13 in the first 14 weeks and we think this offense can be as good as it is He could lead the league in passing your dand touchdowns But take a shot on him or take a shot on calib Williams upside or take a shot on kirk cousins in this new offense with all these amazing weapons And then pair them with sam darnold then you can stream match up You can stream who's being hot You could trade one of them away if they do really well or you know what? You're just taking two shots on players who do still have lower floors And then you cut one of them if they don't work out So that is I think the ideal strategy if you do miss out on a top 11 quarterback But I really just think any week that sam darnold is starting I'm probably going to rank him as a top 10 top 12 quarterback and we're going to get in the week three week form People going to be like oh, yeah, he's throwing to justin jaferson Jordan adison. He's getting Hockinson back soon. We really like erin jones as an explosive player in fantasy. jailin naylor is having a great camp He's an explosive player as well like The coaching staff like everything is working out in his favor All we have to do is be half-competent and I think that sam darnold is half-competent So if you got a draft this weekend good luck to all of you I have a ton more content and rankings on the website the fennets of football advice Dot-com and if you want access to my rankings for free this season All you gotta do is sign up for your first underdog accountant today using promo code FFA making minimum $10 deposit That is it they'll give you a 50 deposit bonus up to $1,000 and then the following morning I will email you access to my rankings if you need access to the rankings that same day Either have to sign up before like 850 eastern in the morning Or just sign up directly through the website if you go through website you will get the rankings instantly the second you sign up You will have access so good luck to everyone this weekend that my friends is in this one Leave a like if you watch this far make sure to subscribe if you are new here.
