0:00.0 | So check this out. I have some friends in the fantasy space that I consider experts. |
0:04.4 | They spend tens of thousands of dollars on fantasy buy-ins each year and play in the biggest |
0:09.3 | tournaments. And I ask them a simple question, who are you targeting in drafts? And in this video, |
0:13.9 | I will share with you the 12 names I heard the most. And it starts with Joe Mixon, who currently |
0:19.0 | goes in round five of drafts, and he's a huge |
0:21.5 | favorite of the experts. Let's dive in. Now, Joe Mixen is dropping in drafts partially because of this |
0:26.7 | legal issue. He has a misdemeanor for a menacing charge, and his pretrial is coming up on |
0:31.2 | June 29th. He's being charged for allegedly putting a weapon at a woman and threatening her. |
0:35.9 | Now, the expectation as of right now is that |
0:38.0 | he won't miss any time. There's a chance the league could suspend him, but it's unlikely, |
0:41.6 | and this is important because Mixon has finished as a top 10 fantasy running back pretty quietly, |
0:46.5 | actually, in four of his last five years, which means he goes about two rounds too late. And even |
0:50.9 | though he wasn't the most efficient last year, he still had his cheat codes. Because he was top five in running back receptions and sixth in red zone usage. Now, there's one more |
0:59.8 | big issue. There's reports coming out recently that Mixham would likely need to realign his contract, |
1:04.4 | likely take a pay cut to remain with the team. Now, his current expected market value for this |
1:09.6 | year is going to be $12.6 million. |
1:12.1 | They would like to cut this down to around $10 million. |
1:15.0 | Now, there's some good news that is in favor of Joe Mixon here. |
1:17.8 | First off, according to the athletic at OTAs, Mixon looks every bit of involved as a core part of |
1:23.1 | the offense for 2023. |
1:24.7 | And the other thing is that the leading running backs, this past free agency, only got like $6 million. So Mixon probably wouldn't get much more in the open market. And a final |
1:31.2 | point is that his current contract that he signed a few years back, four years, $48 million. Believe it or |
