Good morning, friends and enemies. In today's video, we're going to be talking through some things that I think you should be looking at immediately following your fantasy drafts to capitalize on some of the momentum afterwards. And I'm feeling inspired today because we just had your idiot leaguemates draft in the office yesterday. All right. And that draft day vlog will be going out on that channel, which I will link down below if you want to follow that throughout the year uh within the next couple of days joe is a one-man team working really hard on getting that vlog we have like six cameras set up whatever so just give him a little bit of slack but it'll be out way prior to the actual season kicking off but it's got me thinking i'm looking at my team i'm what moves can I make? What is practical? What am I doing? And I want to share with you what I think is the next move following your draft immediately. Some of these might be obvious. Some of these might be things that you already do. Some of these might be pertaining to your week one lineup. Some of these might be things that you've never thought about doing. So I'm going to lay them all out on the line for you. And the very first thing to do is obviously start to capitalize on

some of the players on your waiver wire. Yesterday was cut down day, all right, which means by

4 p.m. yesterday, the teams needed to narrow the rosters down to 53 players. Now, that doesn't

necessarily mean that players moving to a new team are becoming

fantasy relevant, but what it does do is start to cut down and really trim the fat of depth charts

and specific players starting to move up those depth charts. So it's usually not going to end up

being any like game breaking type of players, but what it does is it opens up some deep around sleepers for you to add to the bottom of your bench. If, you know, if you drafted two kickers or two defenses or a third tight end or some shit like that, it's probably better to pad the bottom of your roster with some high upside receivers, some high upside running backs or something like that. So some guys that come to mind, and this one's very obvious, he's already like the worst kept secret, but Ali Gordon, right? We're looking at Devon H.N. He's got the calf injury. Jalen Wright is week to week. Now, I'm expecting H.N. to play in week one, but if not, Ollie Gordon seems to be the direct backup. And some of you guys probably already drafted last week. So the Gordon news didn't really like hit the mainstream yet and maybe you

guys aren't as tapped in. So the Gordon News didn't really like hit the mainstream yet.

And maybe you guys aren't as tapped in. But Ali Gordon is an immediate pickup for you. And he's probably like the top priority ad, I would say, on this list. Some other ones that I really, really like are a couple of rookie wide receivers. So we had Tim Patrick being traded away from Detroit. And he was expected to play the wide receiver three role, but it seems like they are really,

really comfortable with their third round pick, Isaac Tesla, taking that wide receiver three

spot.

He has balled out all summer.

This is something that I've kind of been reiterating to you guys throughout all the preseason

recap videos over the last few weeks.

So Isaac Tesla seems to be a dude that I think would be a nice bet to pat on the bottom of your roster. Again, he might be a guy that you drop pretty early on. I don't know what his actual involvement will be with all the weapons there. But if something does, if you're the wide receiver three in this high powered offense, something happens to either Jamesu Williams or Amman-Ross St. Brown,

and now you have Tesla running every single route in this type of offense. Like, if Amma-Rah goes down, like maybe Tesla takes over that athletic slot role. You don't know, right? And these are the types of guys you kind of throw on the bottom of your roster. Maybe they hit early on, and you've got an absolute gem on your hands. going along that same line, Tori Horton is another guy that I've kind of been touting for the Seattle Seahawks out there, right? We have JSN solidified as the number one guy. Horton was a day three pick for Seattle, but really good separator, started to gain a lot of steam throughout the summer, got a lot of buzz as a player who was starting to move up the depth chart. Problem was like you got JSN as the one.

You got Cooper Cup there who again, I'm like really, really not involved with Cooper Cup on any of my

teams. He's not a guy I'm targeting, which leaves outside wide receivers to be playmakers, right?

Like they need guys that can separate on the outside. They signed MVS and he was kind of like

Torrey Horton's biggest competition. However, MVS just got let go yesterday, which does clear the path for Tori Horton to be a starter in three wide receiver sets. And if Cooper Cup is past his prime and past what we think he is, then Horton should be, you know, a 70 to 80% snap guy in a team where Darnold likes to sling the ball, man. We saw the connection with Adison last year. We saw the connection with Jefferson, obviously, different caliber of players. But same style of player for Donald. He wants to throw the ball deep. So Ali Gordon, Isaac Tesla, Tori Horton, this is just a year to just snag these rookies, man. I haven't really touched on Amori Cooper signing with the Raiders. It's not something that really moves me. I don't think Jacoby Myers is getting moved at all.

I think it's probably more of just like a depth signing, although they have Jack Bess, their second rounder who's the wider seat for four right now. I wouldn't be surprised if Amari Cooper ends up starting over Trey Tucker here. You know, it doesn't impact the way I'm looking at Deontay Thornton out there. He is like the outside deep field separator type of dude where Cooper is probably limited in his route tree at that point. Cooper's not a guy that I'm necessarily like looking at or targeting, but I figured it was kind of worth mentioning at least, but I don't think he'll be much of an impact player. The last thing I'll throw in here, and this is like very big

brain, obviously, but Marshawn Lloyd, the backup day two pick for the Packers last year, is going to

...
