| 0:05.1 | What's up, friend, those, and welcome into Fantasy Pros, the Fantasy Football podcast with the |
| 0:09.1 | Rank Series, very early ranks, where we are looking at the Fantasy Pro's ranks, tiers, |
| 0:14.3 | valuations, we're talking strategy, we're already looking at what our team construction |
| 0:18.8 | can be. |
| 0:20.3 | And doing so with me is Mr. Pat Fitzmoreson, Tara Roberts, both rankers on the Fantasy Pro's platform. We've gone through wide receivers. We've gone through running backs. You can go back and watch those videos. Today, we're going to be looking at two different positions. We're going to be looking at the top 12 quarterbacks and the big board on fantasy pros and the tight ends, both in the top 12, what our strategies are going to look like, |
| 0:42.5 | whether it is late quarterback season, whether we are highly invested in tight end, which is I think |
| 0:47.8 | always a big question. And Fitsy, you have definitely been, you and Bogman kind of have your |
| 0:52.8 | tight end whispererness to you do you think |
| 0:55.9 | you're going to be just as this a blanket statement just jumping ahead do you think you're going to be |
| 0:59.5 | early investment on tight-in this year or do you think the position is kind of chock full of value |
| 1:04.5 | that you're going to wait on it i'm going to be an early investor i think in most leagues |
| 1:08.8 | okay early investment tara going over to quarterbacks i'm going to ask you kind of a similar question. |
| 1:14.9 | Do you think the higher end of quarterback? |
| 1:17.5 | I know people get dicey about wanting to invest in quarterbacks early on, but do you think |
| 1:21.5 | the high end is valuable enough to avoid what the questions are later? |
| 1:27.0 | Or do you think when you stare at Dak Prescott at 11 and Brock Purdy at 12 and you just see some of the value later, this is a good year to wait and sit on quarterback to the later rounds? It's a good year to wait. I mean, we've talked about the fact that the running backs and wide receivers, there's a point at which all of them get a little bit shaky and, you know, investing early and maybe passing up on one of those early quarterbacks is probably the better route. But I will say, I always say that. And then the quarterback drops. And I'm like, ooh, maybe I do want Justin Herbert or something like that. So, you know, hypocrisy sometimes. I totally vibe with you on that because that happens to me and I'm like, I'm not going to touch them. It's not going to happen. And then it's like Joe Burrow keeps going or Jane Daniels. And I'm like, well, I don't really like the running backs that are here. And wide receiver is still pretty chalky. I could have Jayden Daniels and I think I go down that route. So that, that is a hundred percent of thing that ends up happening to me. So, |
| 2:51.1 | uh, pretty chalky. I could have Jaden Daniels and I think I go down that route. So that is 100% a thing that ends up happening to me. So wherever you're at, early or late quarterback or tight end, we're going to be talking about what the top 12 looks like. The players that you're going to invest in, maybe avoid. We'll look at consensus ranks and then we'll also compare it against both of Terra and Pat's ranks as we do. So if you guys want to follow along, go to fantasy pros.com slash rankings. That is where the consensus ranks on fantasy pros live. They are going to be changing throughout the season as our rankers adjust. More rankers start going to the platform. That's what's so cool about it. So you guys can follow along and feel free to comment below in the comments as we do this. So let's start with quarterbacks and let's get the big board up here. Our top 12 over on fantasy pros, tier one is the first three quarterbacks. It is Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Pat Fitzmore's own, Drake May. That is your top three and that is your tier one four through eight is tier two where we've got |
| 3:08.0 | Joe burrow jaden daniels jaylon hurts justin herbert and jackson dart there's some pretty good |
| 3:12.2 | value in there for being honest and tier three at nine is caleb williams with trevorrence |
| 3:17.1 | dac prescott and brock perney so let's outside of uh josh allen being number one and maybe deserving his own kind of like pseudo tier here, are there questions about what quarterback two should look like and how close is this? Pat, let's start with you. Lamar comes in at two. Drake May comes in at three. And honestly, you guys both have the exact same tiering. But is this a situation? We actually talked about this in running backs where I think you said if you were doing three drafts, two of them you would take Bijan, one you would take Jemir Gibbs. Is this kind of like the same thing where you would have some diversity in it that it's just like, I don't know if I can pass up what Drake May's value can be and I don't want to be fully invested in one guy. |
