Fantasy Flock vs FantasyPros! 2026 Fantasy Football Mock Draft (Ep. 2083)

And then before he went down with an injury last year, he had two games back to back with over 80% of the snaps.
M
6:23Mason DoddGUEST
But every single week that went on, he had a higher snap rate than the week prior.
M
6:32Mason DoddGUEST
And if you look at Sportsbook projections right now, they actually have the Chargers as one of the most improved offenses year over year, both with the offensive line improvements and the offensive coordinator, as you already suggested.

8:00Mason DoddGUEST
But I looked at all of the top running backs and wide receivers that were drafted, uh, the top 36 guys with their ADP, the amount of games that they played, their fantasy football finish, the outcome of these guys, got all the averages for every year that we have Best Ball Mania data, right? Um, so da- going back to 2021.
M
8:21Mason DoddGUEST
I made an entire video breaking this down, but what you can see with this a couple different times is, one, the price of these running backs.
M
8:35Mason DoddGUEST
Now that's up to pick 44, right? So significantly more expensive as opposed to where we've seen the wide receivers, um, fall down dramatically in price.

6:42Mason DoddGUEST
Has anybody said that phrase to you all year long? That used to be every single person's talking point.
M
6:49Mason DoddGUEST
Can I share my screen real quick? Because I did a ton of research into this for a really in-depth video.
M
7:00Mason DoddGUEST
But I looked at all of the top running backs and wide receivers that were drafted, the top 36 guys with their ADP, the amount of games that they played, their fantasy football finish, the outcome of these guys, got all the averages for every year that we have best ball mania data, right? So going back to 2021, so we have a pretty large sample here.

And, and even in games where the Dolphins were getting blown out, he was still quite good.
M
3:48Mason DoddGUEST
But if you get the tool loaded up, one thing that's really interesting that you can do here at the turn now is on the combos section you can see expected ownership of the rest of the field on player combos.
M
3:59Mason DoddGUEST
So, like, say you take Gent in round one, you can throw Gent in there, and then you can actually see what percentage of the field should have Gent paired with A.J., Barkley, Chase Brown, Hampton.
M
4:15Mason DoddGUEST
So obviously we already selected, um, A.J., so you're not gonna see this as much.

Aaron Rodgers Changes EVERYTHING for Best Ball
D
136:12Davis MattekHOST
the three tight end stuff, I feel like if you don't have a tight end by the time level one goes, you just like kinda always need to be doing three is, is sorta how I feel.
M
136:21Mason DoddGUEST
And I think there's even like a unique outcome for taking Bowers and then two tight ends super, super late.
M
136:27Mason DoddGUEST
Like if you just go through the, um, theoretical world in which you take Bowers or you take McBride, from like the most common outcome, it's horrible to take three tight ends just because they are having to hit your spot so often if they're gonna pay out that pick.
M
136:42Mason DoddGUEST
But like hypothetically, you get an eight-week injury for Bowers or an eight-week injury for McBride.
M
136:52Mason DoddGUEST
So the advancement to the actual tournament itself, Bowers is a 4% advanced player, but you sneak him in because you took that extra tight end in round 17, and then you have the 45-point Bower- Bowers game like we had from Kyle Pitts last season.

82:05Mason DoddGUEST
I haven't been able to make it work where you take like Lamar and Hurts, or Lamar and May, or Jalen Hurts and May.
M
82:18Mason DoddGUEST
But what I've really liked especially is like the crap quarterbacks are pushed up the board, is taking like a QB in round six, whether that's like Jalen Hurts, Drake May, Joe Burrow, and then following it up with like the range of guys that are going three to four rounds later, just grab one of them.
M
82:40Mason DoddGUEST
And then going with two QB builds, just at a slight premium, because the third quarterbacks are so much more expensive than they were in the past.
D
85:56Davis MattekHOST
I mean, they might try and convert this guy Zabian Thomas to running back, but I, I probably need to start taking more Swift and Manungai.

Chris WelshHOST
Mason, why don't you start us off here? Uh, who is your perfect target in round one?
M
5:01Mason DoddGUEST
So the way that I price like what player goes in round one, round two, round three is on my side I have a consensus ADP list where we take the average ADP from Yahoo, ESPN, and Sleeper Drafts.
M
5:12Mason DoddGUEST
And there actually see CeeDee Lamb going behind Justin Jefferson in pick six in a lot of these drafts.
M
5:17Mason DoddGUEST
And if you actually look at the points per game that we've had from the top three wide receivers over the past two seasons with CeeDee Lamb, Jamar Chase, and Justin Jefferson, I went ahead and I looked at all the games in which Dak Prescott played, all the games in which Joe Burrow played, and then obviously we have no games with McCarthy.
M
5:33Mason DoddGUEST
But if we look at all the games with Dak Prescott for CeeDee Lamb, he's actually averaged 22.1 points per game over the past two years.
M
5:40Mason DoddGUEST
Chase with Burrow is averaged 22.0, and Justin Jefferson's been at 19.2. And now that you have the Justin Jefferson potential hamstring question mark, and while McCarthy has a lot of upside but we can't be 100% certain that he's the guy, um, I think CeeDee Lamb's in a really good spot to just potentially be the wide receiver one overall that you can get a pick six.
