Calling all little wildlife explorers, Playmobile is now in Happy Meal. Look, is that a seal? And a sea turtle? They've been around for millions of years, just like me. Which will your little ones discover? Some fun, some food, it's all inside this Happy Meal. Until the 14th of October from 11 a.m., Playmobile comprised toys only subject to availability. We We love a good mock draft here at Fantasy Football today. We've done a lot of them so far this

off season. What have we learned? What did you learn? That's an office reference right now on FFT Express.

0:35.4

Very good office reference, by the way. Jamie's never seen the office? Nope. Not in full.

0:42.8

Okay. I've seen episodes like parts of that. You know, when you meet those people who have never

0:47.8

seen Game of Thrones and you say, wow, the minute that you decide to finally watch, you're just

0:53.3

going to enjoy life in a way you didn't even know you could enjoy it before. That's like what you have with the office at some point. Let's make a deal. You'll watch The Sopranos this summer and I'll watch the office. Yeah, that's fine with me. I mean, that seems like a win-win. Speaking of winning, how are we going to win our fantasy drafts?

1:11.2

What have you learned from our off-season mocks?

1:15.0

I guess I'll start with the biggest thing that stands out to me is that how quickly the top-tier wide receivers go and how the running back pool is still relatively deep once we get to the middle of the draft.

1:27.3

And I find myself doing this a lot in our drafts and having to sort of remind myself that this may be the norm

1:36.2

once we get to August and start doing some drafts for real or the mock drafts ramp up

1:41.4

in that, like, you can get to the middle of, you know, around 7, 8, 9, up in that like you can get to the middle of you know rounds

1:45.2

seven eight nine 10 in that range and still get some really good flex options at running back

1:50.3

and if you don't love like I like to come out of my first like seven round seven eight rounds

1:55.7

with four receivers that I can start three receiver league in a flex and have no issues.

2:02.5

And I find myself like, oh, I don't really love my fourth receiver at that point.

2:06.8

Now, you don't have to draft like that if you don't want to.

2:09.9

But once we get to like those, those, that range of receivers, it's like, do I really want

2:16.7

Cedric Tillman here?

2:35.5

Like, like, I don't want to do that until like round 10 plus. And that's like the range of guys, at least in my rankings that I'm sort of reaching for. So I find that you can get better value at running back in the middle rounds and you can't a receiver right now. I think it's going hand in hand with that is all we heard going into the NFL draft was this is the great running back class, a great running back class, not a great wide receiver

2:40.3

class. And last year we heard basically the exact opposite, right? It was a great wide receiver

2:44.9

class and a pretty bad running back class played out that way. I mean, you have Bucky Irving,

2:49.8

but it played out that way for the most part,
