Well, at this point, Heath Cummings has drafted a lot of teams. Which players are on a lot of his rosters and which players is he avoiding on draft day? We'll find out right now.

0:13.4

And I'm Adam Azor with Heath Cummings. This is fantasy football today in five. Okay, Heath, so who's on a lot of your teams? You do a great job with a detailed spreadsheet.

0:22.6

You know how many shares of how many players you have.

0:24.7

So what does it look like right now?

0:27.5

Yeah, I've got Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott are my two most drafted quarterbacks.

0:32.1

Joe Mixon, DeAndre Swift, Josh Jacobs, and then Jamal Williams and Giovanni Bernard at running back.

0:55.6

A.J. Brown, Tyler Lockett, and Terrace Marshall at Wide Receiver and Mark Andrews and no a fan of tied in. I don't think there's too many surprises on that list if you've listened to me talked for the last six months. Yeah, but what about Terrace Marshall? That one's interesting that he ended up on a lot of your squads. Yeah, and generally speaking, like, there's more high-end guys this year, it feels like.

1:10.5

Generally speaking, what you'll see, where I'll see on my most roster are the guys that you can get in the double-digit rounds. Terrace Marshall is available in the last round of a lot of drafts. I think he has a chance to possibly leave Carolina in receiving touchdowns. It looks like their best red zone threat. You love that big slot roll.

1:13.4

You know, I also, this might sound crazy,

1:11.5

I kind of love preseason injuries because they push values down so much. And I don't have any DeAndre Swift yet. I'm not in, uh, as of right now, nearly as many leagues as you and it won't be in nearly as many leagues as as you at the end of the but I'll still be in about 10 or 11. I haven't drafted DeAndre Swift. I am nervous.

1:30.5

I have been nervous. really as many leagues as you at the end of the day, but I'll still be in about 10 or 11. I haven't

1:27.6

drafted DeAndre Swift. I am nervous. I have been nervous to use a third round pick on him because he was hurt because I think the lions are kind of a mess. But now we're starting to see DeAndre Swift go in the fourth round. So my God, like imagine if you were doing all your drafts now, you'd have even more to Andre Swift.

1:46.1

Oh yeah, that is 100% true.

1:48.2

And that's... So my God, like imagine if you were doing all your drafts now, you'd have even more DeAndre Swift.

1:46.1

Oh, yeah, that is 100% true.

1:48.1

And that's happening.

1:48.9

I think I've drafted in my last three drafts.

1:50.7

So it is a, it's definitely take some of the risk out of it.

1:57.4

Because you get to the round four running backs, and it's almost all guys that we aren't sure are going to have full-time roles or we're not sure that they're going to be on good enough offenses. So now I feel like you're getting Swift's floor priced in without any accounting for his upside. And just to be clear, Heath likes to take Patrick Mahomes in round three. He does not take Patrick Mahomes at his average draft position,

2:18.2

which is the end of round one. Now, onto players that you are not drafting, do you find yourself

2:23.0

passing over certain players?

2:24.4

Yeah, I don't believe I have drafted Nick Chubb in any drafts because he goes in round
