Jon Warner said he has started sprinkling Jordan Whittington onto Rams builds after hearing Sean McVay call the rookie "a guy you don’t bet against." Warner highlighted the coach’s praise for Whittington’s strength, route precision and work ethic, then reminded viewers that the Rams used him as Cooper Kupp’s practice-squad clone all last season. With Kupp now 31 and coming off back-to-back injury-marred campaigns, Warner believes Whittington could step directly into the high-percentage slot role that funneled 28 % of team targets to Kupp in 2021-22. Because Whittington is undrafted in most rooms, Warner likes tacking him onto Stafford or Vikings bring-back stacks as a free shot at 6-to-8 target weeks if Kupp misses time or cedes snaps in two-WR sets.

Peter Overzet encouraged grabbing Andrei ‘Yoshi’ Iosivas in the final round as a cheap leverage play against fellow rookie Jermaine Burton. Pete noted that if Burton fails to lock down the WR3 job, Iosivas would be the next man up for a Bengals offense that ranked first in neutral-situation pass rate after Week 10 last year. He reminded listeners that Iosivas already flashed red-zone chemistry with Joe Burrow—3 TDs on just 18 targets—and that Cincinnati called pass inside the 10-yard line at the league’s fourth-highest rate. Because Yoshi’s ADP still sits outside the top 210 while Burton hovers in the 160s, Overzet views the big-bodied Princeton product as "free spike-week equity" for anyone building Bengals or Week 17 Chiefs stacks.

Nez compared the 2024 Raiders to last season’s Jets, warning that nearly every Raider is being drafted a round or two ahead of where their Vegas implied totals suggest they should go. He cited Fantasy Guru Drew’s spreadsheet showing Las Vegas sits bottom-six in projected points per game, yet drafters keep paying full freight for Davante Adams, Brock Bowers and Zamir White. Nez said the market is wish-casting a ceiling outcome even though Aidan O’Connell (or Gardner Minshew) caps touchdown upside, and the AFC West schedule features five defenses that finished top-12 in EPA per play allowed. His bottom line: the totals are shouting ‘under-perform,’ so stop clicking Raiders at sticker price and wait for a discount or simply pivot to similarly-priced players on better offenses.

Jon Warner made the case for stashing Braelon Allen late in drafts as one of the cheapest ‘true handcuff’ bets on the board. Warner trusts his “lying eyes,” pointing to Allen’s rare combination of 235-pound frame, reported 4.4 speed, and the swagger of wearing jersey No. 0. With the Jets’ depth chart thin behind bell-cow Breece Hall, Allen’s size and straight-line burst position him as the obvious next-man-up should Hall miss time. Warner dismissed Allen’s 2023 efficiency dip at Wisconsin, noting nothing was efficient in that Jets-level offense, and argued the rookie’s physical profile is exactly what the Jets would want to lean on in cold-weather, late-season games. Because other contingency backs such as Isaiah Davis carry similar “needs an injury” paths yet go a full round earlier, Warner is clicking Allen whenever he’s still on the board in the 18th round.

Nez advised fading Luther Burden until the rookie turns his camp narrative around. He noted a steady drumbeat of red flags: Burden opened camp on the rehab field, missed multiple team periods, and when he finally suited up was kicked out of a huddle for lining up incorrectly. Tuesday’s presser added more fuel, with coaches admitting Burden is “a little bit behind right now.” Nez said you can ignore one negative quote, but hearing the same theme from beat writers and staff over several practices signals a real developmental lag. With no positive buzz to offset the mounting concern, Nez is parking Burden on his do-not-draft list until he strings together full practices or flashes in preseason action, preferring veteran wideouts in the same range who aren’t fighting uphill for day-one snaps.

Jon Warner told the table to smash Emeka Egbuka any time he falls into the late-seventh, warning that Chihuahua and other badge-heavy rooms have already started treating him as a locked-in sixth-rounder. Warner expects Egbuka’s buzz to accelerate once the first preseason clip shows him running with the starters, noting that last year’s rookie WRs gained an average of 12.4 ADP spots once highlight reels circulated. He also pointed out that Egbuka’s only real competition for perimeter snaps is an aging Chris Godwin and an unpopular Cooper Kupp clone, making a 20-percent rookie target share feasible. With market sentiment still lukewarm after a sluggish combine, Warner is grabbing closing-line value now and predicts Egbuka will settle around pick 65 by Labor Day.

Nez called Cooper Kupp “probably one of the better value picks on the entire board” now that he routinely lasts into the double-digit rounds. Drafters, he says, are overreacting to minor off-field ‘signals’—a drastic haircut, a quiet camp, and DK Metcalf’s alpha status—while forgetting Kupp is locked in as Seattle’s clear WR2 in Gary Kubiak’s pass-friendly offense. Nez reminded listeners that Kubiak schemed a nearly 28% slot target share for Adam Thielen in 2023 and expects a similar middle-of-field diet for Kupp, who still owns a 2.28 career yards-per-route rate. Because the Seahawks’ defense lost three starters, Nez projects a bump in shoot-out game scripts that could push Kupp back toward 115-plus targets. His bottom line: Kupp has an easy path to smashing his WR40 price tag and should be gobbled up any time he slips past pick 105.

Peter Overzet admitted he “didn’t pound the table” for Deebo earlier in the round but still believes Samuel is one of the board’s biggest misprices. Overzet argued most drafters are anchored to last year’s down season—when Samuel played through illness and missed three games—yet are ignoring his clean bill of health and a fresh start in Cliff Kingsbury’s YAC-friendly system. Kingsbury has been chasing a Deebo-type weapon for five years and now has him as the unquestioned WR1 opposite rookie Jayden Daniels. Overzet added that Samuel has been posting a steady stream of workout videos and ‘revenge body’ clips, a pattern the market historically rewards once preseason highlights hit Twitter. With drafters happily pushing Terry McLaurin up on holdout rumors but leaving Deebo flat at pick 70-plus, Overzet is scooping Samuel wherever he falls into the sixth and calling him a “free bet on a proven 20-point ceiling.”

Jon Warner said the room is still sleeping on Kenneth Walker and predicted the Seahawk back will not be available in the mid-fourth much longer. Warner’s thesis: new offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak will install a classic wide-zone attack— the same tree that pushed Dalvin Cook to back-to-back RB6 finishes— which marries perfectly with Walker’s one-cut, home-run style. He expects Seattle to lean on the run while Geno Smith acclimates to the new scheme, forecasting 16-18 carries and multiple explosive runs per game for Walker. Because most drafters in June are clicking only wide receivers in this pocket, Warner is loading Walker now before the first week of August practice clips “send his ADP flying up an entire round.”

Peter Overzet argued Justin Herbert is one of the two most mispriced players in best-ball right now (alongside Dak Prescott). Herbert regularly lasts into the late-sixth despite possessing what Overzet called "undeniable top-five real-life talent" and entering Year 2 in Kellen Moore’s vertical scheme. Overzet expects Moore to further unlock Herbert’s deep-ball aggression—his 7.6-yard average depth of target in 2023 was the lowest of his career—and push pass attempts back toward the 700-throw territory we saw in 2021. With early-round drafters flocking to elite wideouts, he views the discount on a quarterback capable of a 5,000-yard, 40-TD season as a structural edge, especially when paired with similarly undervalued Chargers like Trey Harris and Keenan Allen.

Jon Warner recommended exploiting the coming ADP whiplash between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. He noted Richardson now jumps a full round earlier in every draft he enters, but believes the rookie’s volatile camp reports will push drafters off him the moment a bad preseason clip surfaces. When that happens Jones will spike back into the 16th and Richardson will slide, creating a perpetual buy-low window on whichever quarterback is cheaper. Warner reminded listeners the Colts’ brass is desperate for Richardson to succeed—making Jones expensive insurance, not a true threat—while Richardson’s 14 % designed-run rate and 27.3 fantasy-point average in completed games still dwarf Jones’ ceiling. His rule: "keep buying the cheaper yo-yo; upside always belongs to Richardson when prices level out."

Peter Overzet said the steady trickle of puff pieces on fringe Broncos receivers—Trent Sherfield, Jaleel McLaughlin, and rookie Troy Franklin—actually strengthens Courtland Sutton’s case as the unquestioned alpha. Because Sean Payton keeps auditioning depth options, Overzet believes it confirms the staff is still searching for a reliable No. 2 behind Sutton, not a replacement for him. In best-ball drafts he is treating Sutton as the only Denver wideout worth clicking outside of explicit Bo Nix stacks or Week-17 bring-backs, adding that Sutton’s red-zone dominance (30% end-zone target share last year) gives him weekly spike-week equity even if the overall pass volume is middling.

Nez called Evan Engram a "smash" any time he drifts a full round past ADP, highlighting their own selection at pick 118—about 12 spots of closing-line value—as the ideal example. He normally avoids Engram at sticker price but said the tight end becomes an auto-click when paired with rookie quarterback Bo Nix, turning a mild reach on Nix into a balanced stack. Nez argued Engram still commands middle-of-field targets and gives Denver double-stack potential in playoff weeks. His rule: if Engram is available beyond pick 110 in Nix builds, lock him in and worry about secondary correlation later.

Jon Warner said he has begun jamming Trey Harris while drafters remain lukewarm, calling the rookie "a potential riser" once preseason clips and contract clarity hit Twitter. Harris currently hovers around pick 100 after his second-round holdout, a full round behind where Warner saw him go in early drafts. Warner’s pitch: the only bodies Harris must hurdle for weekly routes are an injured Michael Pittman, an unpopular Cooper Kupp, a WR3 version of Tee Higgins, and a banged-up Darnell Mooney. If Harris merely beats out the shaky Quentin Johnston, he becomes Justin Herbert’s unquestioned No. 2 target in an offense that will throw 600-plus times. Warner expects that realization to shove Harris into the 80s by September, so he is gobbling exposure anywhere outside the top 90 before the window slams shut.

Nez cautioned that Emeka Egbuka’s rapid ADP climb—he went 72nd overall in their badge-heavy room—has crossed the point of profitability. Nez reminded listeners that Chris Godwin, still not ruled out for Week 1, is available in the same range, and argued Egbuka faces a crowded target tree in his rookie year. While first-round draft capital is encouraging, Nez questioned how much higher the market can realistically push a rookie who will share snaps with established veterans. He anticipates underdog drafters will "chew through the sixth round" and soon price Egbuka into the 50s, a level where you’re drafting him at ceiling rather than upside. His plan: keep clicking veterans like Godwin and Debo Samuel until Egbuka’s hype cools or new information emerges.

Jon Warner proclaimed he is "Jamo for life" now that Jaylen Waddle routinely falls into the late-4th/early-5th rounds. Warner thinks the market is over-penalizing Miami pieces for Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion history, noting the quarterback has actually played as many games over the past three seasons as several other starters. Warner expects Mike McDaniel to again funnel targets almost exclusively to Tyreek Hill and Waddle, producing the hyper-concentrated offense that made both players league winners in 2022. With most drafters paying full freight for Hill and De’Von Achane, Warner believes Waddle is "the discount ticket" to Dolphins ceiling outcomes and is comfortable drafting him standalone or as part of a full Dolphins stack.

Jon Warner acknowledged Zach Moss leaving is "huge for Chase Brown’s floor" but warned drafters not to assume Brown keeps last year’s 90-percent snap, four-catch per-game workloads. Warner pointed out that Cincinnati specifically signed Samaje Perine to reprise the trusty third-down role he thrived in before the Brown era, and history shows the staff trusts Perine in two-minute and trailing scripts. That change, Warner argued, removes Brown’s easiest path to week-winning receptions while still preserving Perine’s red-zone snaps if the Bengals fall behind. He’s still willing to draft Brown as an RB2, just not counting on the spike-week reception totals that boosted Brown’s 2023 best-ball advance rate.

Peter Overzet said he is actively "packing Loveland bags" because the rookie tight end offers a spike-week ceiling that Jake Ferguson simply cannot match at cost. Loveland still lasts into the 150s, whereas Ferguson—fresh off a new deal—regularly goes 30 picks earlier. Overzet conceded Ferguson’s contract is bullish but argued tournament formats reward upside over floor at tight end, and Loveland’s athletic profile plus down-field usage give him that upside. He expects best-ball rooms to correct once rookies start flashing in preseason, forecasting a one-to-two-round ADP climb. When he already owns Dak Prescott stacks, Overzet is still choosing Loveland over Ferguson, insisting "ceiling outcome Loveland feels" like the sharper bet.

Peter Overzet said the Bengals backfield finally "got so much cleaner" for Chase Brown once Zach Moss was shipped out of town. Without Moss siphoning early-down and goal-line carries, Overzet expects Brown to open the year as the uncontested 1A and views his current late-6th/early-7th-round ADP as a steal. He also likes pairing Brown with rookie Taj Brooks in the 18th as insurance, arguing that Brooks now slots into a true handcuff role instead of being part of a three-man mess. Overzet’s bottom line: the only real threat to Brown’s weekly ceiling is Samaje Perine on obvious passing downs, but Perine was already baked into price; Moss’s departure was not. That delta makes Brown one of his favorite upside RB2 bets in Best Ball streets right now.

Peter Overzet said he is done drafting Travis Etienne at his current 8th-round ADP (around pick 94) and will only consider him once he slides into the 110-plus range. Overzet argued that Jacksonville’s backfield is far more ambiguous than drafters want to admit: rookie Tank Bigsby has reportedly been taking first-team snaps in camp, Etienne was out-played last year, and a brand-new coaching staff has no loyalty to the incumbent. He also noted that early best-ball rooms set Etienne’s price, so it will take weeks for the market to correct. Until then he plans to hammer Bigsby—whose price still sits 2-3 rounds cheaper—while scooping any discounts on rookie Bhayshul Tuten that arise when the hamstring chatter scares the room. In short, stop paying full freight for a back who may be no better than 1A in a three-man committee and pivot to cheaper upside darts in the same backfield.

Jon Warner said he is "pounding the table" for Anthony Richardson while he is still going in the 16th–18th rounds. Warner called the Colts signal-caller a better version of last year’s discounted Justin Fields because Shane Steichen will again lean on designed quarterback runs. Richardson averaged 27.3 fantasy points in the three games he finished as a rookie, scoring on the ground in two of them and posting a 14% designed-run rate that trailed only Jalen Hurts. With no real competition on the roster and an upgraded pass-catching corps that now includes rookie Adonai Mitchell alongside Michael Pittman and Josh Downs, Warner is comfortable using Richardson as either a standalone QB2 or a high-ceiling tack-on QB3 in best-ball drafts, insisting “the price will never get better.”

Nez said he has stopped drafting rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd after Lloyd tweaked his groin again in camp. Nez pointed out the former USC back "has yet to be healthy" since arriving in Green Bay and a groin issue usually sidelines a runner for multiple weeks and saps burst even after he returns. With Lloyd repeatedly rehabbing instead of practicing, Nez is shifting his late-round Packers exposure to second-year back Emanuel Wilson while continuing to hammer Josh Jacobs, who now has "absolutely zero competition behind him" and therefore can’t, in Nez’s words, "do anything wrong at this price."

Nez said his preferred Badge Bros Brawl structure starts with taking a running back at pick 2, then building the rest of the lineup around a J.J. McCarthy double-stack. Grabbing McCarthy well after the elite quarterbacks lets you anchor the roster with one early wide receiver and pile on multiple "contingency" running-back bets while the room chases chalk stacks. Because McCarthy comes at a discount and is rarely paired with two pass catchers, Nez believes the approach delivers both uniqueness and late-season ceiling without sacrificing early projection.

Jon Warner called Dak Prescott "a very good selection" in the Brawl, noting that most drafters will only pair him with CeeDee Lamb. Warner prefers building Dak stacks around cheaper pieces like Jake Ferguson or late-round rookies, creating a unique roster while still tapping into an offense that finished top-3 in both neutral-situation pass rate (61 %) and points per game (29.9) last season. By avoiding Lamb’s first-round price tag you save early capital, gain structural flexibility, and still access Dak’s weekly 30-point ceiling—he logged four such games in 2023. Warner’s bottom line: draft Prescott and diversify his pass catchers to exploit field duplication at quarterback.

Peter Overzet explained that Justin Fields is an ideal third-round quarterback in the Badge Bros Brawl because his rushing production (career 53 rush yards per start) supplies a built-in floor during the 1-of-5 advancement rounds in Weeks 15-16. Unlike pocket passers who demand double stacks to hit ceilings, Fields can be drafted "naked" or with a single skinny stack, letting drafters spend fewer picks on his teammates. That flexibility is valuable in a six-team, 12-round draft where roster spots are scarce. Pete added that Fields has already produced eight top-8 fantasy finishes in 24 career games, so you still capture week-winning upside without sacrificing roster construction.

Peter Overzet said he would take Kyren Williams over Davante Adams at the same draft spot because running-back depth falls off a cliff immediately afterward. In Pete’s view, the Rams’ offense is one of the league’s most concentrated workloads—last year Williams handled 88 % of L.A.’s backfield touches in games he started—so you are essentially locking up a bell-cow role that can’t be replicated later in the Badge Bros Brawl’s 12-round format. The next tier of backs is committee-ridden, while wide receiver remains flush with viable starters. Overzet’s takeaway: if you are staring at that Kyren/WR pocket, grab Williams and let the room push each other around at wideout.

Peter Overzet called Tucker Kraft the clear tier-break tight end behind George Kittle, saying, “I like Kraft—I think he’s the tear break unless you want to get crazy.” In Pete’s view, Kraft offers the exact isolated spike-week potential you want from a TE3 without the ownership drag Isaiah Likely is picking up (he joked Likely could reach 80 % in this contest). That combination makes Kraft the sharper way to round out a three-tight-end build, especially if you already paid up for Kittle and want your final roster spot to chase ceiling rather than duplicate chalk. If Kraft is gone, Pete prefers diving even deeper instead of eating likely’s ownership.

After Jon Warner noted that Chris Olave has never topped 20 half-PPR points on Underdog, Peter Overzet pushed back, calling pick 88 an absurd bargain for a team’s unquestioned WR1. Overzet argued you do not need season-long dominance in the six-team Badge Bros Brawl—just a couple of spike weeks—and the upside is still intact even if the career high has not shown up yet. He added that Olave almost never slips this far in normal rooms, so the discount itself is edge enough to justify the click. Bottom line: Pete is happy to bet on Olave’s wide range of outcomes at a round-15 price tag and let the room overreact to last year’s scoring drought.

Peter Overzet said Aaron Jones belongs in the exact same late-eighth/early-ninth-round tier as Tony Pollard and is one of the final backs on the board with true three-down equity. He called Jones a classic “mystery-box” play because the new Viking offense will be piloted by rookie quarterback Cam Ward, creating a huge range of outcomes. In Pete’s view that uncertainty actually boosts Jones’ appeal: the staff could easily lean run-heavy to protect the rookie, giving the 29-year-old an 18-touch workload that simply does not exist for the backs available after pick 100. Once Pollard and Jones are gone, drafters are forced into muddy committees or pure contingent-upside darts, so Overzet advises scooping whichever of the two falls in every Badge Bros Brawl room before moving on to scroll-down lottery tickets.

Peter Overzet endorsed Tony Pollard as the final running back offering undisputed bell-cow upside before the draft board turns into committee chaos. Pollard and Aaron Jones form Peter’s personal cut-off: both have shown 20-touch workloads and now step into ‘mystery-box’ offenses with rookie quarterbacks that could tilt surprisingly run-heavy. Once those two are gone, you are forced into contingent-upsider types or three-way backfields. Grabbing Pollard in the 9th–10th round range of the Badge Bros Brawl lets you bank early-season volume while everyone else scrolls for handcuffs. Overzet advised pouncing whenever Pollard slips past pick 90, calling it the last reasonable shot at a weekly top-12 back who is still affordable in shallow drafts.

Peter Overzet called Isiah Pacheco a "do-not-draft" in the six-team, 12-round Badge Bros Brawl. Pacheco is landing on roughly 75-85% of rosters, which Peter argued destroys your leverage in a tournament where uniqueness is half the battle. He would rather swing on comparable median projections from lower-owned backs like Travis Etienne or J.K. Dobbins, both of whom are available two to three rounds later. Because the Brawl’s shallow format magnifies any duplication, Overzet believes you must fade chalky mid-round running backs who can be replicated elsewhere. His bottom line: pass on Pacheco entirely and pivot to backs whose ownership gives you an outsized payout if they spike in Week 17.

Nez said he is finally "taking his medicine" and prioritizing AJ Brown over the Drake London tier because a handful of small variables could unleash a nuclear season. Brown averaged a ridiculous seven straight 100-yard games the last time the Eagles were pushed into pass-heavy scripts, and even in 2023 — when Philadelphia rarely trailed — he still finished top-five in yards per route. Nez cited the stat that Jalen Hurts completed only ‘50-something’ passes while trailing across Brown’s final 14 games, underscoring how little volume the Eagles needed. If the defense regresses, that number has nowhere to go but up, and a fully healthy Brown would soak up the extra attempts. Nez’s takeaway: Brown owns the same overall WR1 ceiling as CeeDee Lamb but still sneaks into the late-second/early-third of Underdog’s Badge Bros Brawl, so keep smashing him before the market corrects.

Nez called Brock Bowers his favorite tight-end target in the Badge Bros Brawl, often pairing Bowers with Trey McBride or stopping at a single elite tight end if he lands Bowers in Round 4. He argued that Bowers’ collegiate profile—three consecutive 800-yard seasons and an 88th-percentile yards-per-route run—translates to an immediate top-5 ceiling on a Raiders team lacking a true alpha behind Davante Adams. Because the Brawl’s 12-round format minimizes roster spots, Nez values one-and-done upside over depth; Bowers gives that while freeing him to hammer running back volume in the middle rounds. He’s willing to reach slightly above ADP because the structural edge of locking in a ‘onesie’ allows additional scroll-downs elsewhere.

Jon Warner said he is "vaulting Kittle up" his personal board, arguing that Brandon Aiyuk’s indefinite knee timeline funnels even more of Brock Purdy’s intermediate targets toward Kittle. Warner is comfortable treating Kittle as part of the elite-tight-end cohort in the Brawl, noting that the 49ers already schemed a 22-percent red-zone target share for him last year and have yet to add another proven pass-catcher. In Warner’s view, the combo of Aiyuk uncertainty, an already condensed offense, and Kittle’s proven week-winning upside (four top-5 TE weeks in 2023) justifies paying the new sticker price, especially in a format that rewards isolated spike weeks.

Nez said he is “pretty much full-fading” George Kittle in the Badge Bros Brawl. Kittle’s ADP has spiked on the back of Brandon Aiyuk’s injury news and a perceived tier break after Trey McBride, but Nez thinks the cost leap is unjustified in a 12-round contest where every pick carries heightened opportunity cost. He prefers grabbing Brock Bowers or waiting to scoop three late tight ends that either correlate with his stacks or simply possess wider range-of-outcome profiles. In Nez’s view, paying a third-round tag for a tight end who averaged just 22% target share last year and relies on post-catch efficiency is bad portfolio management when roster spots are scarce.

Peter Overzet warned drafters to brace for a free-fall in Brandon Aiyuk’s Underdog price after Adam Schefter relayed John Lynch’s quote that Aiyuk is “not anywhere close” to a return timetable from last year’s knee injury. Overzet expects the market to re-price Aiyuk from his current WR40 range all the way down to Christian Kirk territory (around WR58/ADP 120-130). He called Aiyuk an “extremely tough click” until we get positive medical news, noting that the combination of an undefined recovery window and 49ers target competition (Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel) leaves very little ceiling at his old cost. His advice: stay on the sidelines and let the slide happen before considering any exposure.

Nez highlighted Anthony Richardson as his favorite deep-scroll quarterback in the Brawl. Richardson is currently QB 29 and drafted in fewer than 5 % of rooms, yet recent reports confirm his throwing shoulder is fully on track for training camp. Nez reminded listeners that Richardson averaged 0.77 fantasy points per drop-back last season—second only to Lamar Jackson—and posted two top-five weekly finishes in just four healthy starts. That kind of rushing-based ceiling is exactly what can separate a lineup in the 375-team Week 17 final, especially when virtually no one else in your pod will have him. Because elite quarterbacks go early and most drafters stop at two passers, grabbing Richardson as a low-owned third quarterback lets you chase an outlier game without sacrificing much projection during the regular weeks.

Jon Warner said Jordan Mason is one of the best leverage picks in the new Badge Bros Brawl because drafters simply are not clicking him. Warner estimated Mason shows up on only 68 % of rosters in this contest—even though Christian McCaffrey is a consensus first-rounder. That ownership gap creates an outsized payoff if McCaffrey misses time: the same backfield that would send Isaac Guerendo’s ADP into orbit in BBM is being mostly ignored here. Warner likes Mason as a classic handcuff-with-benefits who already handles short-yardage work and could project as a weekly top-20 back if thrust into the starting role. In a six-team draft where talent thins out fast after pick 108, he views Mason as a free shot at a top-five Week 17 running-back score that almost no one else in your pod will have.

Jon Warner keeps hammering Jauan Jennings in the mid-6th round of the Badge Bros Brawl, calling him his "favorite click on the Niners". With Brandon Aiyuk and rookie Ricky Pearsall both opening camp on the PUP list—and Christian McCaffrey plus George Kittle now overpriced—Jennings offers the cheapest path to San Francisco exposure. Warner views the PUP headlines as a non-story for Jennings himself, yet the ripple effect creates room-by-room leverage because drafters chase the flashier names. Jennings’ Week 14 bye also meshes perfectly with Underdog’s Eliminator format, giving him standalone value even if the stars return. Warner’s bottom line: keep scooping Jennings before the crowd realizes he’s the last uninflated piece of the 49ers passing game.

Nez warned that Chris Godwin’s cost is about to crater after a Twitter photo showed his ankle still badly swollen and reports confirmed he’s sitting out full-team drills. Because the sharpest ADP movers live on social media, Nez expects a swift and meaningful drop—regardless of whether drafters previously baked in any injury discount from his fractured fibula. He plans to let the fall happen, then scoop Godwin only once the market fully capitulates, noting that Mike Evans may hold steady while dynasty darling Emeka Egbuka probably creeps up. In short: hold your fire on Godwin in the Badge Bros Brawl and other Underdog rooms until the slide stabilizes and you’re paid to assume the medical risk.

Peter Overzet said he is now jamming Rashee Rice in the 5th round of the Badge Bros Brawl after fading him when he cost a 2nd-rounder. Citing Jack Miller’s tweet that roughly 20,000 BBM entries paid that earlier premium, Overzet argued Rice is automatically “better than a normal fifth-round pick” because you can spend four earlier selections on other high-end talent and still land the same player. Overzet also likes that a six-game suspension guarantees Rice stays healthy during the season’s most violent stretch, giving drafters back-half production with zero injury risk. In a 12-round, fast-draft format where wide-receiver depth is easy to patch, he believes the risk is minimal relative to the ceiling of locking in Patrick Mahomes’ slot specialist at a two-round discount. His advice: keep smashing Rice at current ADP before the market finishes repricing him.

Nez explained that Rashee Rice falling to the 11th round in the Badge Bros Brawl is a gift. By that point more than half of a roster is already constructed, and Rice’s locked-in short-area role with Patrick Mahomes still carries weekly spike potential. The combination of a 30-plus-pick ADP discount (he opened near 37 overall in BBM) and a format that rewards any usable score makes him an easy click. Nez acknowledged the ongoing legal uncertainty but argued that in a small, 12-round contest you can easily patch wide-receiver depth with later darts, so the risk/reward tilts heavily in Rice’s favor at his new price.

Peter Overzet argued that Omarion Hampton is the single best running-back pick in the late-third/early-fourth round cluster and should probably be a fringe second-rounder. With Najee Harris potentially sidelined, Hampton now profiles as a clear bell-cow for a Chargers offense sporting an "awesome" offensive line and a coaching staff that wants to lean run-heavy. Overzet sees no obvious hole in Hampton’s profile: he’s an elite prospect, already getting first-team reps, and his ADP has not exploded the way Dylan Samson’s has—meaning drafters are still getting a discount. He is comfortable selecting Hampton over Breece Hall and Chase Brown at the same price point (only Kyron Williams gives him pause). The takeaway: keep hammering Hampton before the market corrects upward.

Nez said he has not clicked Najee Harris since the post-Fourth-of-July FUD hit the market and will continue to pass until Harris sinks to roughly pick 140 or later in Underdog drafts. His reasoning is entirely market- and information-based: (1) the Chargers have released zero meaningful updates beyond a short agent statement, (2) beat reporters and social media have been silent—no practice photos, no helmet-visor shots, nothing—creating a "no news is bad news" scenario, and (3) the ADP slide shows no sign of stopping, so there is no incentive to buy early. Nez views the uncertainty around the eye/visor situation as purely bearish and is protecting his 1,000-plus-team portfolio by waiting for maximum discount before re-entering. Until that 140+ number appears, he advises drafting other backs in the same range and letting the rest of the room absorb the risk.

Defending a build that opened Hurts/Saquon and later grabbed Joe Burrow at a post-ADP discount, The What said two early elite quarterbacks are "quite all right" in cumulative-scoring best-ball tournaments. He pointed to the 2023 regular-season BBM winner (Mathology) as proof that front-loading QB ceiling can juice weekly point totals, especially when both passers are stacked—Hurts with Barkley for goal-line TD correlation and Burrow with Tee Higgins. The What argued that locking in 50-point upside at the position frees drafters to embrace late-round chaos without worrying about a third quarterback, making the roster both flexible and high scoring through 14 weeks.

The What argued that Geno Smith is a glaring value in current best-ball rooms because drafters have not priced in the realistic scenario of Las Vegas trading for him. He framed it as an easy late QB pick that can be immediately stacked with Jacoby Myers, noting that "the market in the slappies do not respect Geno Smith with the Raiders." Given the earlier segment where he cited multiple beat-writer links between the Raiders and Smith, The What views the combo as a cheap way to capture an every-week starter tied to a narrow target tree. His advice: scoop Smith well after pick 150 and pair him with Myers for an inexpensive correlation that could pay off if the rumblings become reality.

After selecting him, The What assured listeners that Mark Andrews "will not stop rising to every occasion," calling him the rare tight end who thrives no matter what cards he’s dealt. He framed Andrews as a perennial red-zone alpha whose target share remains intact even when Baltimore’s passing volume dips, making him one of the few non-Travis Kelce tight ends worth paying up for in best-ball drafts. Despite last year’s late-season injury, The What believes Andrews’ combination of bankable volume and weekly spike-week potential still justifies his third-round price tag.

The What mocked the idea that J.K. Dobbins will matter in Denver, noting the running back "doesn’t have much of an Achilles left" after last year’s rupture. He expects Sean Payton to bench Dobbins at the first missed blitz pickup in favor of Jaleel McLaughlin or rookie Audric Estime. With Payton’s short leash and a crowded committee, The What sees Dobbins as little more than an injury-prone camp body whose best-ball appeal vanished the moment he signed in Denver.

The What said Zach Charbonnet is strictly an insurance policy who "will never see the field as a starter without an injury." His logic is that Ken Walker owns every high-leverage early-down and goal-line snap and Seattle clearly views Charbonnet as a change-of-pace back. He even mentioned the Seahawks are "waiting on Damian Martinez"—a 2025 power back prospect—to handle true workhorse duties, further capping Charbonnet’s future ceiling. In best-ball terms, The What thinks burning a mid-round pick on Charbonnet is a wasted roster spot unless you’re specifically betting on a Walker injury.
