Best Ball Guy circled Jonnu Smith again as the perfect tight-end swing for a 700-thousand-entry best-ball tournament. He reminded listeners that Smith already logged a 60-percent snap share last year and now reunites with Arthur Smith in Pittsburgh, giving him a baseline of "about two points most weeks"—enough to avoid zeros while other positions spike. The real appeal is the ceiling: on weeks the Steelers lean into play-action seam routes, the veteran’s yards-after-catch ability can pop for 15–20 fantasy points, the kind of score that wins playoff rounds. At an 18th-round ADP he combines a usable weekly floor, direct correlation with any Kenny Pickett or George Pickens shares, and true tournament-winning upside, making him Best Ball Guy’s preferred TE3 in deep builds.

Best Ball Guy flagged Tank Bigsby as a sneaky mid-round running back whose value hinges on front-loaded touches. He reminded listeners that Jacksonville trusted Bigsby with meaningful carries the first month of 2023 before ceding the backfield to Travis Etienne, and thinks a similar script could play out this season while the Jaguars break in two rookie ball-carriers. That potential for September work—"Bigsby could be the bridge if he's the early-season guy like last year"—gives him unique utility in best-ball tournaments where early points often determine advance rates. Bigsby’s ADP remains depressed after a quiet rookie year, so Best Ball Guy is comfortable betting on a fast start and taking the floor he provides while waiting for rookies to develop.

Best Ball Guy pitched Noah Gray as the perfect 18th-round tack-on for Patrick Mahomes rosters. Gray already chips in roughly 80 fantasy points per season on limited routes, so he offers a usable weekly floor even before injury contingencies kick in. The real juice, according to the tout, is the "one-ankle-shank" scenario: if Travis Kelce misses time, Gray instantly inherits a full-time role in a Mahomes offense that produced 950 tight-end receiving yards last year. That combination of existing production, direct correlation with your QB1, and massive contingent upside makes Gray his preferred late-round dart when he needs one more tight end in best-ball builds.

Best Ball Guy said Jonnu Smith is one of his favorite dirt-cheap tight ends to round out a three-TE build. Smith’s Underdog ADP is identical to last summer, yet this time he reunites with OC Arthur Smith—the coach who milked a TE1 season out of him in Tennessee. The tout believes that reunion plus Pittsburgh’s paper-thin receiver room makes Jonnu “probably the second-best receiver on the team,” giving him every-down snap potential and legitimate spike-week upside. Because he already played 60-plus percent of snaps last year and costs nothing in the 17th–18th rounds, Best Ball Guy is comfortable locking him in as the high-ceiling piece of his tight-end trio.

Best Ball Guy doubled-down on his earlier endorsement of Geno Smith, stressing that the market still has not caught up to the veteran’s combination of floor and ceiling. He reminded listeners that Smith has cleared 350 rushing yards in every full season of his career, giving him a built-in weekly floor that most late quarterbacks simply do not supply. The tout added that Las Vegas’ offseason upgrades – Chip Kelly calling plays, plus a suddenly deep pass-catcher group featuring Bowers, Gentee, Besh, Jakobi Myers and Davante Adams – raise both Smith’s efficiency and spike-week potential. He also pointed to the Raiders’ 9.5-win Vegas total as confirmation that the team projects to be competitive, further insulating Smith’s fantasy output. With an Underdog ADP that still drifts past pick 145, Best Ball Guy views Smith as “essentially free,” making him an ideal QB2 or even QB3 in the three-quarterback builds he has been championing all summer.

Best Ball Guy said Geno Smith is being drafted far too late ("Geno at 170, what are we talking about?") and believes the veteran can finish around QB10—"this year’s Baker Mayfield" for best-ball drafters. He pointed to Chip Kelly’s arrival as OC and expects a warp-speed offense that maximizes volume: Smith will be throwing to a deep pass-catcher room that now includes rookies Gentee, Bowers and Besh alongside Jakobi Myers. In that context, Smith’s current ADP outside the top-20 quarterbacks is a gift; drafters can grab him as a second or even third QB and still capture weekly spike weeks that matter most in playoff rounds.

Best Ball Guy said he is passing on Courtland Sutton at his current best-ball ADP because the veteran’s 2023 production looks unsustainable. Denver added multiple pass-catchers—Evan Engram, rookie WR Harvey, rookie TE Pat Bryant—and expects bigger roles for second-year wideouts Veilet and Franklin. With that many new mouths, Sutton’s 10-touchdown spike is the first thing likely to regress, and touchdowns are "one of the easier things to fade." Given the fresh competition plus Sutton turning 29 this season, the tout believes we have already seen his fantasy ceiling and prefers targeting younger receivers in the same range.

Best Ball Guy said he is confident Washington ultimately keeps Terry McLaurin and predicted the sides will compromise at roughly $25 million per year—likely a two-year pact with around $40 million guaranteed. He argued McLaurin holds more leverage than people realize because the Commanders need a stable No. 1 target for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and cannot afford another public relations hit. The tout expects the deal to get done before the bulk of training-camp practices, which would erase current holdout fears and allow McLaurin’s depressed ADP to bounce back. Drafting him now locks in closing-line value and preserves access to a proven 24-25 percent target-share receiver at a multi-round discount.

Best Ball Guy called Xavier Legette a no-brainer late pick in the rookies-and-sophomores drafts. He noted that Legette was a first-round NFL selection last year and, unlike many rookies in this contest, is already penciled into a starting role, so "he’s going to project for points" right out of the gate. Because many drafters are chasing splashier names with uncertain roles, Legette’s ADP has stayed low, creating an inefficiency. Best Ball Guy is scooping him up as a reliable weekly scorer who can cover the early season while higher-variance prospects develop.

Best Ball Guy argued that Quentin Johnston remains a worthwhile stash, stressing that "you can't deny what he's done"—1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns across his first two seasons. The former first-rounder still carries premium draft capital and, in the tout’s view, deserves more respect in current best-ball rooms. With a clear path to starting snaps and big-play history, Johnston profiles as an upside swing after the 10th round.

Best Ball Guy called Keon Coleman "a very valiant pick" around 108 overall, pointing to his proven touchdown production. Coleman turned just 29 receptions into 550 yards and four scores last season, highlighting his deep-threat efficiency. The tout praised the rookie’s back-shoulder work in the end zone and expects those contested-catch skills to translate quickly in Buffalo’s pass-heavy attack, making him an affordable ceiling play at WR in best-ball formats.

Best Ball Guy noted that Hunter Henry could open 2024 as the Patriots’ de-facto target leader. Stefon Diggs is "coming on slow," rookie Kyle Williams is still learning the playbook, and Demario Douglas is the only other established pass catcher. In that context Henry’s red-zone chemistry with whoever wins the quarterback job should give him consistent spike-week potential at a bargain TE2 price in best-ball drafts.

Best Ball Guy said Brenton Strange is a sneaky late-round tight-end target because he could see "80 to 100 targets" in his second season. He reminded listeners that Evan Engram, now with Denver, handled heavy underneath volume for Trevor Lawrence the past two years and believes Doug Pederson will keep that possession-TE role baked into the offense. With Lawrence already trusting the position in high-leverage spots, Strange needs only average efficiency to pay off his near-undrafted ADP in best-ball tournaments.

Best Ball Guy urged drafters not to panic over Jauan Jennings’ minicamp absence. He expects the 49ers to smooth things over with a small incentive bump because Jennings suddenly has leverage after depth-chart rival Demarcus Robinson’s DUI arrest. The tout said a quick restructure "keeps him happy for the year," meaning his ADP slide should reverse once the deal is announced. He added that if Jennings were somehow traded, the possession receiver’s fantasy value would crater on another roster, so the current discount hinges on him staying put—an outcome he views as highly probable.

Best Ball Guy said A.J. Brown should be treated as a slam-dunk first-round pick in half-PPR best-ball formats. Brown lost four or five games to injury last season yet still finished with 1,056 yards and seven scores. The tout projected that if Brown simply plays a full 17 this year he "is probably looking at 10 touchdowns and 1,300 yards—that feels like a floor." He pointed out that Philadelphia attempted the fewest passes of any playoff team, so even a modest bump in volume under new OC Kellen Moore could push Brown’s ceiling north of those baseline numbers. Pairing him with Jalen Hurts remains easy because the quarterback never goes before Brown’s ADP, giving drafters a reliable elite stack option in nearly every room.

Best Ball Guy noted Terry McLaurin’s ADP is sliding while extension talks drag on, making the Jayden Daniels–McLaurin stack far cheaper than earlier in the offseason. He referenced how profitable the Commanders’ QB-WR stack was last year and plans to keep drafting it unless the holdout drags deep into camp. The risk of missing practice reps is outweighed by the chance to buy a proven 24-25% target share alpha several rounds below his usual cost.

Best Ball Guy likes grabbing Colston Loveland at his falling ADP. The Bears spent the 10th overall pick on him and he lands in a Ben Johnson offense built around play-action seam throws. Loveland is rehabbing shoulder surgery and may carry a ‘won’t be ready for camp’ tag, but the tout reminded listeners that best-ball tournaments weigh Weeks 15-17 most heavily. Any dip in ADP created by slow-start concerns just gives drafters cheaper access to a potential December difference-maker.

Best Ball Guy pointed out that if Najee Harris slips to picks 125–130 he becomes an automatic click. Even if Hampton impresses, the veteran should open Week 1 as the nominal starter and there is ‘no one else behind him’ on the depth chart. That makes Harris a rare case of a back who supplies both contingent upside (if Hampton falters or gets hurt) and standalone goal-line equity at an 11th-round cost—exactly the kind of profile you want on tournament rosters.

Best Ball Guy said Breece Hall is one of the best buy-low picks in current drafts. He argued the Jets’ decision to lock up Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner early signals a front office finally ‘getting it together,’ which should translate to a more stable, competitive offense. That organizational stability plus Hall’s proven explosive efficiency (4.9 yards after contact per rush last year before the knee flared up) makes the back a strong bet to remain the focal point rather than be rotated out. The tout believes the ‘no-drama’ camp lowers the odds of Hall being eased in and gives him realistic 20-touch upside late in the season—prime best-ball leverage at his late-Round-2/early-Round-3 price.

Best Ball Guy explained why he is comfortable sprinkling Brandin Cooks into the final rounds of Underdog drafts. After looking up the veteran’s deal, he found that New Orleans is on the hook for guaranteed money, which all but assures Cooks a roster spot and meaningful snaps. That financial commitment, plus the possibility that Chris Olave misses time, gives Cooks a path to run in two-receiver sets and no worse than the WR-3 role. Because Underdog lineups must start three wideouts every week, he values Cooks’ locked-in playing time and occasional spike-week profile over fringe rookie flyers. The contract floor, inexpensive price tag, and contingency upside make him a sensible depth addition when your roster still needs wide-receiver starts.

Best Ball Guy said drafters should be willing to click Jalen Hurts a full round ahead of ADP whenever they have already taken AJ Brown. After combing through his own portfolio with Best Ball Overlay, he noticed almost every Hurts roster in Best Ball Mania is paired with Devonta Smith or has no Eagles receiver at all, making the Hurts–Brown combination comparatively rare. By yanking Hurts into the early-fourth—roughly a 6-to-8-pick reach—you lock in Philadelphia’s alpha WR–QB connection and create leverage against a field that is building its Eagles stacks in a predictable way. He argued the modest reach is well worth the structural edge because Hurts still carries overall-QB1 weekly ceiling and Brown’s target-hog profile can swing playoff weeks 15-17 on his own.

Best Ball Guy called Aaron Jones a smash at pick 80, arguing drafters are overreacting to Jordan Mason’s offseason hype. Jones still averaged 4.9 yards per touch last year, caught 41 balls in only 12 healthy games, and produced three 20-point fantasy outings despite sharing snaps in Green Bay. Now he steps into what the tout labeled "one of the best offenses in the NFL," with Kevin O’Connell’s unit finishing top-6 in neutral-situation pace and red-zone plays per game. Jones’ pass-game chops fit perfectly with J.J. McCarthy’s check-down tendencies, and the Vikings have ranked top-8 in RB targets for two straight seasons. Best Ball Guy thinks Mason is a fine flier, but the ADPs have converged enough that he’s "buying the other side of that coin"—betting on Jones’ established receiving role and proven weekly ceiling in a dome-heavy schedule.

Best Ball Guy said Jauan Jennings suddenly looks like a sneaky late-round value after DeMarcus Robinson’s recent DUI, which he expects to cost Robinson three to four games. Jennings was penciled in for rotational snaps behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, but one fewer veteran in the mix should lock Jennings into the WR3 role for the season’s opening month. The tout admitted he has always viewed Jennings as “just a guy,” yet pointed out that any 49ers wideout running full routes with Brock Purdy can stumble into spike weeks because Kyle Shanahan routinely ranks top-10 in yards per attempt and red-zone efficiency. With early bye weeks thinning benches and Jennings currently free in the final rounds of Underdog drafts, Best Ball Guy is now comfortable grabbing him as a cheap Purdy bring-back who could post usable scores before Robinson even returns.

Best Ball Guy preferred drafting Xavier Worthy over Rashee Rice at their current prices, arguing the rookie’s 4.22-second forty and Year-2 (his mistaken term for rookie) breakout potential could easily outpace Rice, who is recovering from an LCL/PCL tear in the same knee. While Rice now costs a late-second pick, Worthy regularly lasts into the fourth, giving drafters cheaper access to Patrick Mahomes’ down-field targets. The tout admitted Rice is reportedly practicing without restrictions but remains skeptical of post-surgery explosiveness. He framed it as a classic ceiling-versus-floor bet: Worthy’s elite speed can break best-ball weeks immediately, whereas Rice carries hidden re-injury risk that the market is ignoring. At the discount, he is “totally fine” letting others chase Rice while he banks Chiefs spike-weeks through Worthy.

Best Ball Guy said Breece Hall is an easy smash in the early-third round of Underdog’s Best Ball Mania drafts. He pointed to Justin Fields—who he believes will siphon starts for the Jets at some point—as a check-down friendly quarterback, noting Fields targeted David Montgomery 58-plus times in Chicago, more than Jared Goff ever gave Montgomery. That, combined with a further-upgraded Jets offensive line and the rushing-lane stress a mobile QB puts on defenses, sets Hall up for both a reception spike and wider rushing lanes. In his words, the situation that once made Hall a 1.05 last summer “hasn’t really changed,” yet drafters now get him a full round later. He urged taking advantage of the market’s boredom while he stockpiles Hall exposure around pick 25–30.

Best Ball Guy loved scooping Jonnu Smith at pick 179, reminding viewers that the veteran “dominated the Falcons’ room even with Kyle Pitts” the last time he played under Arthur Smith—who is now coordinating Seattle’s offense. He labeled Smith the roster’s second-most athletic weapon behind DK Metcalf and expects Aaron Rodgers to lean on his tight ends in condensed-area situations. With Smith’s 4.6 speed, top-five yards-after-catch rate during his previous Arthur Smith stint, and almost zero ADP tax, the tout sees a clear path to spiked-week usability that makes him a smash in two-TE builds.

Best Ball Guy remained "pretty pro" on Javonte Williams, arguing that an ADP around pick 150 is wrong for someone he currently projects as the Cowboys’ Week 1 starter. He pointed out that last year’s market routinely paid a sixth-round premium for whoever handled Dallas goal-line work, yet drafters are letting Williams slide into the 13th round despite no meaningful competition and what he still considers a top-tier offensive line. Even acknowledging Zack Martin’s retirement chatter, the tout thinks the unit’s remaining tackle play plus Mike McCarthy’s red-zone run tendency should lock Williams into double-digit touchdown equity. In his words, “your name could be Tyler Knable and I’m still taking you at 150 if you’re the starting running back on the Cowboys,” so grabbing a proven three-down back at that price “hasn’t fallen far enough.”

Best Ball Guy endorsed grabbing two top-six tight ends early—he paired T.J. Hockenson with another premium option—to exploit a meta in which most drafters punt the position. He argued that locking in 25–30% combined target share and elite red-zone usage from the jump lets you stop at two TEs, freeing late-round ammo for upside swings elsewhere. With best-ball rooms increasingly symmetrical—balanced builds, three-QB churn, few structural gambles—he believes a double-elite TE start is one of the cleanest ways to differentiate playoff lineups without sacrificing weekly floor. In his words, “if the masses are fine rolling out Hunter Henry and Cade Otton, I want to be the guy smashing them with Hock and Laporta.”

Best Ball Guy softened his earlier Samson-over-Ford stance and said Ford is suddenly the sharper pick on Underdog’s half-PPR scoring. Ford’s heavier frame projects as the clear goal-line hammer while Quinshon Judkins’ legal cloud lingers and Dylan Samson is earmarked for perimeter touches. The tout noted that in a format where receptions are only 0.5 points, each short TD is worth as much as two Samson catches. He still loves Samson’s break-away 10-yard split and the coaching staff experimenting with him in the slot, but argued that upside is better captured on full-PPR sites (DraftKings, Drafters) or on rosters that already secured early-round power backs. If your build needs bankable red-zone work, Ford’s path to 6-10 touchdowns makes him “finally draftable again,” whereas Samson remains the higher-variance, mystery-box swing.

Best Ball Guy scoffed at Kyler Murray’s near-100 ADP, reminding listeners that Murray has "literally underperformed every single year" outside of one early-career spike. Even with Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride and James Conner surrounding him, the quarterback has failed to translate weapons into fantasy consistency. The tout noted Murray’s Week-10 bye means you only get nine starts before a forced sit, which is especially painful in best-ball advance rates. He advised passing on Murray at pick 100 and reallocating that capital to rushing QBs who have actually delivered top-5 weekly ceilings more recently.

Best Ball Guy revealed he has 22 percent Christian McCaffrey exposure in Underdog’s Eliminator contest and plans to push that even higher. The Week 14 bye aligns perfectly with Eliminator strategy—survive the regular season, then unleash McCaffrey for playoff rounds while many opponents cope with bye-week absences earlier in the year. Because the All-Pro back is reportedly healthy, the tout views Eliminator as the one format where paying McCaffrey’s premium actually creates leverage. He is fading CMC in BBM and other tournaments but wants "as much as I can" in Eliminator drafts to capitalize on the structural edge.

Best Ball Guy said that anyone passing on Saquon Barkley should offset the risk by rostering 15-20 percent Will Shipley. He’s personally “fading Saquon” but grabbing Shipley everywhere because the rookie is the clearest contingency play in Philadelphia’s backfield. If Barkley misses time or underperforms, Shipley’s profile and direct depth-chart placement could deliver league-tilting weeks at a fraction of the cost. The tout framed Shipley as insurance with real standalone value that keeps Eagles stacks intact while freeing early-round equity for other bets.

Best Ball Guy pushed Bucky Irving as a priority Round-2 pick in Underdog drafts, arguing that the rookie already flashed the inputs Pat Kerrane associates with legendary seasons. Irving finished his first year 15th in running-back targets and 19th in carries while posting elite efficiency markers: 1.97 yards per route run, +21.8 EPA, 4.94 yards created per touch (2nd in NFL), sixth-best explosive-play rate, fifth in evaded tackles, third in juke rate and an overall six yards every time he touched the ball. Although the 5'9", 192-lb frame looks shaky on paper, the tout thinks the Buccaneers’ aggressive passing attack and constant goal-line visits create ceiling touchdown variance. He even framed Tristan Wirfs’ injury as a sneaky positive, predicting more quick-hitting check-downs from Baker Mayfield to a back who is already an elite receiver. In short, Irving owns break-away ability, true three-down skills and the statistical profile to break best-ball tournaments if the volume grows.

Best Ball Guy said Quinshon Judkins is now an auto-target if he slips into the 100-110 range of Underdog drafts. He believes the rookie’s pre-draft profile—bell-cow size, 39% collegiate dominator, and top-five missed-tackle rate in the SEC—still screams league-winner upside. The domestic-battery allegation may not be adjudicated until 2025, mirroring Alvin Kamara’s and Rashee Rice’s delayed suspensions. With 36% of BBM entries already holding Judkins at an 85–65 ADP, scooping him two to three rounds later creates massive leverage and a cheap path to Browns correlation. His plan is to monitor where the crowd finally feels comfortable and snap him up every time he falls past pick 100.

Best Ball Guy mocked the idea of drafting Alvin Kamara at his current ADP, hammering several red flags. Kamara turns 30 this season and, according to the tout, will be running behind "the worst offense in football." He joked that the Saints could be 1-11 by fantasy playoff time, raising legitimate worries that a veteran with Kamara’s mileage has little incentive—or team context—to grind through December. With touchdown chances expected to crater and explosive plays becoming rarer as backs age, Best Ball Guy views Kamara as a trap pick for drafters still paying for past production instead of future outlook.

Best Ball Guy told viewers he is fading Travis Etienne at his current sticker price. He called Etienne "way overpriced" for 2024 after an "absolutely ass" 2023 season and pointed out that a brand-new coaching staff has no draft-capital loyalty to the former first-rounder. The host added that Jacksonville now has multiple alternatives, highlighting rookie speedster Bhayshul Tootin—"one of the fastest backs in the class"—and last year’s more efficient reserve who is available 50+ picks later. Vegas seems equally skeptical, hanging an early rushing-yard prop of only 400 yards for Etienne. In Best Ball Guy’s view, drafters can scoop cheaper, higher-upside backs in the same offense and avoid sinking a mid-round pick into a player whose workload and efficiency are both on shaky ground.

Best Ball Guy told viewers that now is "the time to buy" Keenan Allen in Best Ball Mania drafts. Allen’s uncertain free-agency status suppresses his price, yet any eventual signing will create "crazy closing-line value"—especially compared to the $1 Dalmatian where drafters can no longer capitalize. Even if Allen lands in a mediocre spot the host expects his ADP to surge several rounds once the market gets clarity, giving early adopters an easy value windfall.

Best Ball Guy selected Blake Corum in the final rounds, arguing the rookie is not even drafted in every BBM room yet profiles as the true back-up to Kyren Williams. If Williams misses time or stages a contract hold-out, Corum could immediately step into a bell-cow role rather than sharing with change-of-pace back Jarquez Hunter. The pick also correlates with his Matthew Stafford stack and adds unique advance-rate leverage because the room often ignores Corum entirely.

Best Ball Guy doubled down on his Matthew Stafford build by selecting Tutu Atwell at pick 173, noting Atwell’s recent $10 million contract all but guarantees full-time usage opposite Puka Nacua. The inexpensive double-stack provides week-16 shoot-out correlation with Seattle and unlocks late-season upside if Cooper Kupp’s health again becomes an issue. He compared the bet to Darius Slayton—paid receivers who will simply be on the field every route, creating low-cost spike-week equity.

Calling Darius Slayton "one of the best picks you can make," Best Ball Guy highlighted the veteran’s contract and 100 percent route participation as proof he will remain Daniel Jones’ primary down-field option. Instead of paying up for uncertain mid-round receivers, he prefers waiting to nab Slayton near pick 190, capturing similar production but at a fraction of the cost while leaving earlier capital for running backs and elite tight ends.

Drafting Dallas Goedert at pick 140 is "totally fine" according to Best Ball Guy, particularly with Dalton Kincaid still dealing with an unreported knee issue. Goedert carries a proven 20-plus point weekly ceiling in an Eagles attack that routinely ranks top-five in red-zone pass rate. The host prefers banking on that health certainty instead of chasing Kincaid’s questionable status, noting that pairing two upside tight ends like Goedert and George Kittle gives drafters tournament-winning spike-week potential without spending early-round capital.

Best Ball Guy pounded the table for taking Justin Fields whenever the dual-threat passer slides past ADP, grabbing him at pick 115 (15 spots of closing-line value) in this draft. He reminded viewers that Fields posted back-to-back 45-point weeks on Underdog and likened the pick to last summer’s Jaden Daniels smash because rushing scoring is "broken" on the site. Passing efficiency is secondary—Fields’ legs create weekly 30-plus ceiling outcomes that pocket passers cannot match, making him a priority best-ball target when the room lets him fall.

Best Ball Guy acknowledged he is not sold on Xavier Legette’s raw talent or Bryce Young’s quarterback play, yet still flagged Legette as a worthy dart in the late-round receiver pool. The former first-round pick enters his second season with a clean path to volume in Carolina’s shallow pass-catcher room, and any improvement from Young would "be very beneficial for Legette." The tout said he would "not be shocked" if Legette looks far better than he did as a rookie and turns into the Panthers’ primary outside target at a price that barely cracks the top-150 selections.

Best Ball Guy said he is "back in" on Quentin Johnston whenever the second-year wide-out slips into the 130-to-140 range. Johnston still carries first-round draft capital and has already logged roughly 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns through two disappointing seasons. At that sticker price Johnston can slide directly into the Chargers’ WR2 role if rookie Trey Harris face-plants, giving drafters inexpensive exposure to what he called a "pretty fun offense." The host framed Johnston as a low-cost way to buy contingent target upside that could pay off in tournament playoff weeks.

Best Ball Guy reiterated that drafters "have to have 20 %" Brock Bowers shares because the rookie’s current Round-2 tag is as cheap as it will ever be. He reminded viewers that Bowers posted as many receptions in college as Marvin Harrison Jr. had total targets last year, underscoring how rare his receiving-tight-end profile is. With the Raiders already hinting at designing the passing game around him, the host expects Bowers’ 2025 ADP to settle near the 1.06 slot and called skipping him in the second round a mistake on par with fading rookie Kyle Pitts in 2021. The combination of elite production, athleticism, and a consolidating target tree makes Bowers a cornerstone pick in tournament builds.

Best Ball Guy singled out Cedric Tillman as his favorite dart in the 130–140 ADP range. He noted that in limited 2023 snaps Tillman actually out-targeted Jerry Jeudy when they shared the field, hinting the second-year wideout may already be better than the higher-profile veteran. At 6'2"/215 with a productive Tennessee resume, Tillman owns the prototypical alpha frame the Browns lack opposite Amari Cooper. If Deshaun Watson bounces back even marginally, Tillman could post multiple 20-point weeks from a price where most wide receivers merely project for WR4 duties.

Best Ball Guy confessed he has been "grossly taking" Raheem Mostert whenever he slips outside the draftable range because the veteran looks like the clear No. 2 behind rookie MarShawn Genty. If Genty misses time, Mostert could deliver "80-plus points in four starts," the exact kind of spike-week production that buries best-ball rooms late in the year. He emphasized the leverage angle: a Genty injury would simultaneously nuke many first-round teams while propelling Mostert drafters forward with fresh legs in an offense he expects to be "pretty damn fun."

Best Ball Guy urged drafters to scoop Jakobi Meyers, insisting that the entire Raiders offense "is going to shock people." He pointed to the market-implied win total of nine games as evidence Vegas will be far more competitive than the public assumes. Meyers quietly finished 2023 with a 20 % target share and seven top-24 weekly finishes despite playing opposite Davante Adams; the host believes continuity with the same offensive system plus likely red-zone funneling to Meyers make his WR45–50 price a mistake. Stacking him with other Raiders or Falcons pieces creates natural Week 16/17 correlation for BBM playoff pods.
