00:00We got a guy at wide receiver 42, an ADP of 94.

00:03And this is probably my favorite one out of the bunch, Joe.

00:06Take it away.

00:07Yeah, wide receiver 42 for Matthew Golden,

00:10one of my favorite prospects coming out of Texas.

00:12He had an incredible game against Arizona last year

00:16in the college football playoffs.

00:17Just, you know, big touchdown after big touchdown,

00:19big moment after big moment.

00:21I loved them all year.

00:22And I was a little, you know, skeptical at first, like, okay,

00:25well, it's kind of a crowded wide receiver room.

00:26But guess what?

00:27It's getting less crowded because everybody's hurt in Green Bay.

00:30Matthew Golden is the truth.

00:31He's the only guy healthy enough to play.

00:33And I think Matthew Golden is going to get peppered with targets.

00:35I really do.

00:36So again, wide receiver 42, I see his finish.

00:40And this is the way you have to think about things.

00:41Where do these guys finish, right?

00:43Next year, where am I drafting Matthew Golden?

00:46Is he a top 25 wide receiver?

00:48I'm pretty sure he's going to be,

00:49just based off of what's there in Green Bay currently.

00:51And his wide receiver 42, that makes him a huge bargain.

00:54And that makes him a guy that if he breaks out this year,

00:56and I think he will, that he is going to help carry fantasy teams.

01:00So if you are somebody that is building early with running backs,

01:03Pearsall, Egbuka, Golden, some of these second-year wide receivers

01:07and rookie wide receivers, Ted McMillan,

01:09another one we just talked about too.

01:10Those are the guys you're going to have to target

01:12to make up ground at wide receiver.

01:14Guys who jump a tier at wide receiver is how you win fantasy leagues.

01:17Fours that perform as threes, threes that perform as twos,

01:19twos that can perform as ones.

01:21That's the secret sauce.

01:23Good advice, Joe.

01:24Definitely some good advice.

01:25All right.

01:25With the time that we have left,

01:27let's show some love to maybe the tight end position

01:29and the quarterback position.

01:31Our very own George Kurtz, as you can see,

01:33I believe each and every Saturday,

01:34along with Craig Misch on Fantasy Sports Today Saturday,

01:37was the first guy that put Tyler Warren on my radar.

01:42Tyler Warren, ADP at 96, tight end 10.

01:45Actually, I like Jonathan Taylor,

01:47so then I should like Tyler Warren, Joe.

01:49Yeah, you should.

01:51And here's the thing.

01:52Last year, there was a guy being drafted as tight end 10 overall

01:55who was a rookie.

01:56His name was Brock Bowers, and that worked out pretty well.

01:59And Tyler Warren is not Brock Bowers.

02:01He's a little bit more in that George Kittle kind of mode,

02:03I feel like.

02:04And just a phenomenal player at Penn State too.

02:06Just a guy that got after a great energy player.

02:09And Daniel Jones is the quarterback, at least for now.

02:12And I think when you go back and look at the history of Daniel Jones,

02:15when you gave him Saquon Barkley and Evan Ingram healthy,

02:17Daniel Jones was serviceable.

02:19I don't want to use the word good, because I don't think that's fair,

02:22but serviceable.

02:23And I think Tyler Warren, as the last tight end in a 10-team league being taken,

02:26is the guy that I want.

02:28I think Tucker Craft is in that conversation too,

02:30of guys who could break out at tight end this year

02:33because Matthew Golden, right?

02:35Kind of the last man standing there pass catching.

02:38Somebody else has to catch a football.

02:39Why not Tucker Craft, right?

02:40You saw him kind of emerge last year.

02:42Very quietly good season for him.

02:44So Craft, Warren, those are two guys at the tight end position

02:47that could really break out this season.

02:49All right.

02:50And last but not least is a quarterback,

02:52a quarterback 16, an ADP of 118.

02:55And when we talk about offensive ecosystem,

02:57which is a term from Joe, your book,

02:59just describing the overall offensive ability of the team,

03:02I look at Stefan Diggs and I look at Travion Henderson

03:05and I say, hey, who's throwing that football, Joe?

03:09Well, it's Drake May.

03:10And Drake May has an improved offensive line.

03:13It's not a great one, but it is improved.

03:15He has a lot more rushing ability than people realize.

03:17There's an upside here.

03:18And Pat Fitzmaurice, you know, Pat,

03:19who I work with at Fantasy Pros,

03:20he thinks he could rush for 700 plus yards this year.

03:24That's how much rushing he believes Drake May could have.

03:27And now that he does have weapons

03:28that can help Pat his stats like Stefan Diggs,

03:30like Kyle Williams, like Travion Henderson, right?

03:33You know, it's important.

03:34If you go back and look at the best of Justin Herbert, right?

03:36It was a Keenan Allen and Austin Eckler in his prime, right?

03:39Those guys help.

03:40Drake May had no help last year.

03:42And now as a second year QB,

03:44he's got a real offensive coordinator in Josh McDaniels.

03:47He's got a real head coach in Mike Crabill.

03:49He's got real talent around him

03:50at the skill position players for the first time.

03:52And there's a lot to like here.

03:54Plus, he's also free,

03:55which means that he's the 13th quarterback

03:57going off the board, 16th year recently.

03:59But now the real-time ADP has moved up to 13.

04:03So he's still pretty much, you know,

04:04if you wait on QB to the last couple rounds,

04:07Drake May should be around there.

04:08But if you take a Drake May and a Jared Goff

04:10with your last couple picks to have like,

04:12I'm going to have the veteran,

04:13but I'm also going to have the upside of the rushing QB.

04:16That's a good way of looking at it.

04:18And it's funny because Justin Fields,

04:19you know, so far after preseason,

04:21he's come down a little bit.

04:23Drake May's come up.

04:24They're going as the 12th and 13th QBs

04:26off the board in real-time ADP.

04:28But there's a scenario here

04:29where Drake May finishes as a top 10 QB.

04:32And the fact that he's free,

04:33I think is very intriguing.

04:34And in super flex leagues,

04:35when you're playing two quarterbacks,

04:37you definitely got to keep an eye on Drake May too.
