NP43 scolded drafters who paired Jared Goff with Kyler Murray in an Eliminator build, calling two Week-8 bye quarterbacks a "big no-no." Because Eliminator advancement is decided by weekly cutlines, he warned that taking two passers who both disappear the same week leaves rosters dangerously thin and risks an automatic elimination. His fix was simple: either avoid overlapping bye weeks at quarterback altogether or commit to adding a third signal-caller—someone like Jackson Dart—so the lineup never posts a zero during the mid-season gauntlet.

NP43 called Jared Goff the “saving grace” of their draft after landing him roughly 15 spots past Underdog’s ADP (around pick 120). Because the room had already secured Jamison Williams earlier, he felt the discounted Goff-Jamo stack gave the roster badly needed correlation without sacrificing closing-line equity. NP43 stressed that you rarely get a clean indoor quarterback tethered to Ben Johnson’s aggressive passing scheme at that price, making Goff a sharp pivot once premium stacks like Geno Smith–DK Metcalf or Tua-Waddle get sniped. The guest said any time Goff drifts a full round, drafters should snap him up as their QB2 and back-fill upside later rather than chasing ADP on weaker arms.

NP43 urged drafters to scoop rookie Caleb Johnson as a late-round running back after Pittsburgh hired Arthur Smith. Smith’s offenses historically rank top-3 in rush rate from 12-personnel, and NP43 expects the Steelers to load up on double-tight formations. Johnson’s college résumé screams three-down upside: 240 carries for 1,500 yards and 21 TDs in his junior year at Iowa after averaging 5.0 YPC as a true freshman. Film analysts like Matt Waldman have already labeled him a perfect fit for Pittsburgh’s outside-zone concepts. With the crowd largely enamored with Jaylen Warren, Johnson slides well past ADP, giving managers a cheap path to a 220-touch role if he outplays Najee Harris or forces a committee. NP43 framed him as a priority dart in 2-6-8-2 builds that are light at RB early.

NP43 warned viewers to avoid the Jets’ wide-receiver room, bluntly stating, “we’re not going to throw the ball, we’re really not.” He said the only Jets pass catcher he can even entertain is Aaron Smith, and even that is a reluctant click. The takeaway is simple: New York’s offensive identity projects to be extremely run-centric, leaving little chance for consistent spike weeks from the rest of the receiver depth chart in best-ball tournaments.

NP43 urged drafters to stay away from 29-year-old Chris Godwin (and, by extension, 30-year-old Stefon Diggs) after Godwin’s severe ankle-ligament tear and Diggs’ late-career knee issues. He argued that once a receiver hits 30, the body simply does not rebound quickly enough for them to post spike weeks the very next season. To illustrate, he rattled off the short list of historical comps: 35-year-old Jerry Rice is the only true success story after an ACL, Jordy Nelson managed 1,257 yards at age 31 but fell off a cliff the following season, while younger recoveries like 25-year-old Cooper Kupp and 22-year-old Breece Hall smashed precisely because youth accelerates healing. Given the lack of modern examples and Tampa’s additional problems (losing All-Pro LT Tristan Wirfs and likely negative game scripts with Baker Mayfield), NP43 is treating Godwin as a land mine and prefers swinging on healthy, mid-20s options such as Rashid Shaheed instead.

NP43 told viewers to snap up Isiah Pacheco any time he slips 10–15 spots past Underdog’s ADP. He framed Pacheco as a "potential starter" on a Chiefs offense that regularly finishes top-five in scoring, arguing the discount makes him a better roster fit than similarly priced backs such as Brian Robinson. The value slide provides both closing line equity and weekly spike-week upside for Best Ball formats.
