What is all, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Ratcliffe, and it is Friday, August 26th, the day before!

The biggest fantasy football draft day of the year, man, I'm so fired up for this week

and a league that began it all for me, by the way. My long running home league, if I was never in that league, I wouldn't be talking to you right now

so shout out to all my league mates there for making this all possible. But anyway, we're going to close out the team preview series today, Tennessee Titans and the Washington football team.

A couple of interesting players who stock is trending down, Draylen Berks, Antonio Gibson for both of those teams. So we'll talk about them and more coming up shortly.

But remember ftnfantasy.com to set you up for your fantasy football drafts, you can get my draft board. The sheet of paper that I will be using on draft day, and I have been using my draft days.

You get that there in our cheat sheets, all sorts of different cheat sheets for you updated rankings, projections, all the goods for this weekend for your fantasy football drafts.

And then it just spills into the season as well. You get the weekly rankings and projections. You get waiver wire recommendations from yours truly.

You get the rest of all the stuff from our staff and I recommend the platinum subscription that way you get access to in season league sync.

You get access to the discord man discord's been bumping people have been asking me questions left and right. And I will you get my own divided attention in there unlike on Twitter where things kind of you know fall by the wayside.

Not in discord. I answer every question man. That's part the white glove service. So that's the platinum subscription. You also get access to our tools promo code rat pack RATP ACK 20% off. Also do have a little special contest that we're going to run here for the podcast.

If you review the show on Apple podcasts, rate it, review it, leave your Twitter handle in the review. I will hook it up with a platinum subscription to FTN fantasy.com. I will break that down. We'll get you a winner next week. So you got about a week to do it.

So hook it up. Go review the show and then we will pick a winner as long as you put your Twitter handle in there in that review. All right. So let's dive into it. We'll start with Tennessee Titans. The Tennessee Titans made a big move.

They traded away. AJ Brown in the NFL draft and by the way, I already talked about him and Philly. So you can go back to that podcast if you didn't already listen to it. But they traded him away.

And you might ask, well, why would they have done that? Well, they had a contract issue. This class of whiteouts and we've seen somebody's guys getting paid. Debo DK, even McLaren and to a lesser extent, McLaren and Dianne Johnson. But they were going to have an issue with AJ Brown. They were going to have to pay him a butt load.

And that is a technical term. And they weren't willing to pay him a butt load. So what do you do? I mean, you get something for him. And in this case, they got a first round pick 18th overall was part of that deal, which they did use on Traylon Berks. Now heading into the draft, Traylon Berks, which all this analysis is in the rookie fantasy scouting guided FTN fantasy.com.

Traylon Berks was one of my favorites in this class. If you watched him last year or just over the course of his college career at Arkansas, he was kind of like a bigger Debo Samuel or like he was like an AJ Brown in a lot of ways, like very similar size profile to AJ Brown, can play all over the field and all offensive weapon, you know, kind of a, you know, movable chess piece, not in the conventional sense of like a Tyree kill or Debo, but like a bigger version of that.

And I mean, the reports just have not been good. I mean, what can I say, I would love to just go down with this ship, but here's what I'm going to, here's what I'll tell you. In the off season, asthma, not playing well, okay, I'll take that for what it is. Last year, remember, there were off season negative reports about your March chase that ended up not being worth anything. But then in the preseason, he has not been working with the ones like Nick Westbrook, a keen as ahead of him, which is not a good story.

He's now banged up with an injury. So to start the season out, if you draft trailer in Berks, by the way, he's still going in like the ninth round, eighth round, if you draft him, you're probably not going to get anything out of it.

But I don't want to sit here and just say, well, the book's written, he's a bust because football hasn't even started yet. So I don't know if we can go that far, but by the same token, if you draft him expecting something early in the season, no, you're probably not going to get it.

I'd be very surprised with that being said, by the end of the season, if we start to see him emerge a little bit, that's not going to surprise me as well. So like, what I've basically been doing is I've been fading him and redraft.

And I actually tossed a couple low ball offers out there in Dynasty, like Dynasty rookie drafts, some of them may even happen fairly recently, but you know, even if you go back to like mid May, it's not that long ago.
