And I put them together in categories. So I might take like my tier two and three of wide receivers and say I would be okay having these as wide receiver twos. And so now I know that these, like I would put them in groupings of an RB1 and RB2 because sometimes there's multiple tiers in there. That way it's like an extra tier. Follow up question to that. What do you do to form your tiers when I knock you out of the playoffs of here? Those just come out of my eyes so easy.

Inside the episode
134 passagesDave from New Jersey wants to know. He says he's been listening to you dudes for months now. That's a double O dudes. That's right. Double O dudes. He loves a show. He says we have sold him on drafting a quarterback late. He says he's been doing a ton of mock drafts on FantasyDraftWizard.com as well as Yahoo. Whenever he's drafting with picks one through four, he always goes running back. When his second pick comes around, Aaron Rogers is always there to be picked, often there to be picked between 20 and 24.
Basically, he got Aaron Rogers last year and he was a monster. He'd like to wait on a quarterback, but he doesn't know if he can pass on one. What's our take? Should he be taken in the second round or go wide receiver running back? I don't take Rogers in the second round. To me, it's kind of a math thing where if you're taking a quarterback that early in the first and second round, you're betting on them having basically a historical year for that player.
because that's how well they have to produce to give you the value to make up for the difference of losing out on high-end running backs and wide receivers while everyone else, or not everyone, but other players can take Romo in the ninth round and just be a couple points behind. I think you saw our philosophy on Rogers because we faced the decision in the early third round of a PPR draft on Tuesday and we were talked into it, which I think was a good value. I mean, there were a lot of...
People who said, yeah, you got to grab them there. I would have passed. Yeah, I would have, too. I would have rather had a four set. But, I mean, at least we were staring the question down in the third round. And I don't think it, I don't think it is crazy. If you're at the very back end of the two, it's not that different than the very beginning of the third. If you want to take Rogers there, you can't. Brian wants to know, should he keep Sammy Watkins for a fifth, Devante Freeman for a 12th, Martavis Bryant for a 12th. Standard scoring 12 team non-PPR. I think we're, I'm going Martavis. You grab your hoverboard.
And go Martin McBride. You gun it to 88 miles an hour. You ring that thing. All right. Aaron from D.C. He says, hello, gentlemen. Keep the fantasy info coming. He's in a 10-team PPR league. It's a keeper league. They keep one at the cost of the previous year's draft position. His options are Joyick Bell for an eighth, Tom Brady for a ninth, Brandon Cooks for a 10th, and Travis Kelsey for a 16th.
What say you guys? I say you can ring that bell. Am I wrong? I would go Kelsey in the 16th. I just think it's a throwaway pick for an elite player. I'd love to make the case for a bell, but I'm with you on Kelsey. You can ring it. I just want to talk through it real quick. I would take Kelsey. I can understand completely the argument for taking Cooksler in the 10th because that's really strong value. But where I would be willing to draft cooks would be around that fifth and sixth.
sixth round, but I see Travis Kelsey as an elite option difference maker at his position. I don't see Cooks as that. That makes sense. If you want to run your own mock draft draft draft draft.com, check that out. Hop in there. Try to do better than we did on Tuesday. I thought Tuesday went. Good luck. I thought it went pretty well. I was pretty happy. It felt a little thin at wide receiver, but that was the cost of Aaron Rogers. Not bad. I'm fine, being thin on wide receiver. You can get them in the waivers. Yeah, I'm with you on that. If there was a position that I'd rather, you know.
I want to stud, and I think we got that in Hopkins. Also, don't forget, check out the website, the fancy footballers.com. If your question was not answered, don't lose hope. That's right. Grab a bar of soap. Go to YouTube.com. We're going to start working on those in the next few days. Yeah, if you haven't heard of YouTube.com, it is a video website. It's amazing. And people actually, they put, have you guys ever used VHS tapes? You play them on the television? Yeah. They do those, but it's on the computer screen.
That's crazy. Now, correct me, I might be going complete urban legend, but I had heard that YouTube, the people that created YouTube, they, Mr. Tube, yeah. Yeah, Mr. You and Mr. Tube created it because they could not find the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction in the Super Bowl. I think that's, I think YouTube was around. That sounds like you get snopes straight out of that. Maybe. That's what I'm just throwing out there.
It would be awesome if that's why it happened. Did you know Gore actually invented the internet? Frank Gore. Yeah, Frank Gore. Internet brought to you by God.
