It is extremely hard to hate Adam Thielen. Probably one of the nicest dudes in the sport while also being a fucking MENACE on the field. Just total *dawg.* That long reception he had against the Texans where he just mogged the secondary and took their lunch money and got in their faces about it while ALSO being the unit of a locker room presence and stand-up guy, yeah. He's him, and he deserves serious consideration for some real NFL awards. Also, he and Bryce were my last two picks in my main league, because I'm a Panthers homer and said "fuck it, let's see if repping my team pays off." and BOY HAS IT.

Soldiers, i tried to stop the people from saying first, but i was too slow

Puca Nacua has been an absolute lifesaver for not only my Rams, but also my fantasy team. My WR2 behind Tyreek Hill was going to have to be either Amari Cooper or Jerry Jeudy and now I'm in first place in large part thanks to him 😅

As a BYU Student who got to see him in action before he was in the League I'm glad Puka is getting the recognition he deserves. Glad I got him on my team

Good job Bran keep up the Shorts and Videos they really brighten not just mine but other people’s days ❤

Tbf to Devonta Smith he recently became a father so that might be affecting him a bit. He's always in high spirits though, he'll get his due.

Love to see your long-form videos as well as your shorter ones / shorts!

I like when you make longer videos. But the shorts are still hilarious.

I got both Puka and Moss on waivers week two and they have been two of my best players this season so far, haven't lost a game since adding them both to the team

I agree with all of these awards. Nothing more needs to be said.

Best Value- I also drafted Raheem Mostert! Not necessarily because I thought he was going to be as good as he has been up to this point, but as a 49ers fan I have a HUGE soft spot for any former 49ers player who has done great things for my team (2019/2020 NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers, need I say more.) I drafted him for that nostalgia, and thinking he would be a great depth piece on my team. But he is easily my best RB! And a huge reason why I lead my league in total points scored. (Even though I'm currently 4th in overall ranking in my league ;_;)

As someone who was able to pick up Puka, Kyren Williams, and Devon Achane on waivers this year, my fantasy team is in a very good spot. 1st place in my league with David Montgomery, Achane, and Williams all hopefully coming back in the next couple weeks

Heya, I loved the vid, but where's any mention of the D/ST position? As a Dallas d/st owner myself I'd have hoped to be rewarded vicariously through them in some way 😂

Picked up Theilen, Puka, Achane, and Moss off waivers. Cleaned up while my league mates slept. Glad to see you're giving them their due respect.

I got Zack Moss in the 14th round and Adam Thielen in the 9th in a 14 team league. They definitely deserve crazy props for what they’ve done

good job man love watching your vids and shorts

This is coming from a guy high on him because he impressed me last year, but I think an insane value player this year has been Christian Kirk. Aside from a Week 1 where he was scripted out (and arguably Week 8 but he provided low flex value still), he has gotten consistent targets and has made every single one count. A player drafted to be a Flex or Bye-Week fill in because of how high everyone was on Calvin Ridley is PPR WR15 and a solid play week to week.

Love seeing Adam Thelin balling out i wish the Vikes would have kept him finishing out his career in Minnesota would be Poetic

Very satisfied picking etienne in the 4th and mostert off of waivers

I drafted Thielen but sat him on my bench until week 4 & I’ve started him every week since.

Love your content man, my friend always talks how he is great at fantasy but he got NJ Harris and Mr Pits

im in a 10 man league, i was 2nd overall pick and got McCaffery. Got Travis Kelce in the second (draft was the day after his hyper extended knee), and Etienne in the 3rd. Also picked up adam thielen on the waiver wire. Ive been doing quite nice outside of week 2 (chiefs vs jags cost me)

As someone who drafted Raheem Mostert and Sam LaPorta and picked up Puka, Zack Moss, I humbly agree

I, a Vikings fan, spent much of the offseason telling everyone who would listen that Thielen was gonna go off without Jefferson taking all his targets. Good stuff from my favorite football player of all time.

I grabbed Puca Nacua on waivers so Im eating well... to go alongside Amon Ra, Davante Adams, Mike Evans, and Terry McLaurin. So my receiving corps is solid... except for the Raiders deciding they dont wanna throw to Tae anymore after he called them out and then backed it up by putting up 42 fantasy points in a Raiders loss.

I love Adam Theilen, drafted him in all the leagues I could as like at 13th round pick just because I figured he’d be WR1 in Carolina

As someone who drafted Mostert, LaPorta, and Christian Kirk, I could not be happier. (I eventually traded Mostert and Kirk for some real good deals)

5:59 I’m glad to say, I was and I drafted him

None of the receivers i drafted are on my team anymore, but I got puka, theilen, and collins now so I think I’ll be good 🤷🏽

Oddly enough in our 12 man league only 2 receivers were taken: DeVonta Smith and Amari Cooper, and I drafted ETN in the 3rd

As an olave and Higgins owner, I am proud to be 1-7

I've been so unlucky this year. I got Burrow in both leagues than Rodgers in one and Purdy in the other one. For my friends league I got Chubb Dobbins and I traded for Ekeler. And then I picked up Mostert. In the other league I got Chubb, Swift and Mont. Then WRS I got Chase, Terry, and Devonta. In the other league I got Terry and Devonta and I picked up Puka. In one league I got Mark as a TE and then in my other league I got Goedert. And defense in one league i got 49ers and Eagles and in the other I got Eagles and Jets. And someone I'm still in contention for both 😂.

Josh Downs has been a pleasant surprise for the Colts. I'm a lifelong fan and even I was like, WHO?!?!?

I would also consider Dameon Pierce as the Bust pick. I got Kenneth Walker and Raheem Moster way after him

As someone who took both Henry 1st Round, Tee Higgins in 2nd Round, but Étienne in 3rd Round. It worked out, barely, but it worked out

Took Cristian Kirk in the third round, very happy that he's been consistently out preforming Calvin Ridley.

I had 4 of these guys from jump: cmc, etienne, puka, and mostert

We need more of brans longform Content

Keenan should probably be getting Best Pick at the end of the year. As of now, number 3 best PLAYER, 2 WR, and they will fight for the playoffs. Averaging 23.2 thru week 12.😮 maybe even mvp

Already know this video is gonna be a banger

I was shocked when you didnt even mention puka for best draft upside considering noone was drafting him. But to have him sweep the last few makes sense

Cool concept bran!

I picked up Moss at 9 AM the morning before his best fantasy game where he went for 160 yards and 2 TD’s. Best decision of my life

Fantasy is so crazy this year, I may start Russell Wilson the rest of this season.

As a colts and Utah utes fan I always had faith in Zack Moss so I knew he could do it with Jtay playing

Added both puka and laporta on waiver after week 1. Have not left my starting roster since 🤣

Imagine if the Bills had Zack Moss and James Cook that would be a solid backfield

This was from week 8 I guess before Puka fell off and I avoided the biggest bullet of kupp coming back by trading.

I started with Lamar, Mostert, Achane, Bijan, and Kelce, but my team is 1-7 because I also had Ridley, Higgins, Adams, and Stevenson, and at no point did my whole team play well at the same time. I even lost the Denver game adter getting almost 100 points from my 2 RBs... This year has been brutal.

In my league I picked up Adam thielen after week 2. Been Wr one ever since

Great video per usual

Bran just makes everyone laugh every week so we don’t miss football.

Bro my team was drafted, my receivers started out as tyreek and davante (no idk how tf that happened in a 10 man either) i then picked up puka on waviers traded to a guy who was desparate for him for Raheem mostert and brandon aiyuk, and then i am currently in the midst of making a davante trade for pollard and swift bc im down rbs

In my league somebody dropped moss after Taylor came back. I picked him up off waivers and couldn't be happier

Brandon: mvp is cmc, honorable mention aj brown Me having both:😀 Me being 2-6:😭

My MVP so far has been Money Mostert...i was drafting him on like every league in like the 9-12 rounds

I have all breakout player award candidates and also puka nacua im so unbelievably proud of myself

i drafted Adam thielen AND Jakobi meyers, very proud of those 2

Distracted by your incredibly colorful forest green and brown bed in your Coulorless Loft Room. Your design choices baffle me, but your fantasy takes are On Point.

Runners-up 😉 Also. I drafted Nico, he’s been borderline flex for me this season but I feel like the few times I’ve started him he’s not done super well.

So I drafted etienne in the third round of my 16 man league- he did not start good, so I traded him for Dallas goedert Garrett Wilson and Alexander mattison. Seems like I should’ve kept him now.

I’m so glad I got CMC in my league at number 3!

I was able to get thielen and Keenan Allen in the third in three of my leagues. I'm happy with my 3rd round WRs😊

picked up Stroud of waiver a few weeks ago, ka-ching

At my running back position I have CMC, Travis Etienne, and Jaylen Warren (all great value fantasy football picks), but at my wide receiver position I have Cooper Kupp (a bust) and Christian Watson (averages 7 points per game as a 4th round pick)

Proud to say I drafted both puka and moss in my main leauge

This is my first year playing fantasy. I drafted Theilan because I’m a Panthers fan. He gave me 3 FP week 1 and I got rid of him. That was the worst decision I ever could’ve made!! Now I’m sitting at 4-4 where I could have a few more wins had I kept Theilan…

Love your video and keep up the great work

Brock Purdy was a week two free agent pick up for me, and he's been getting me more points than either of my drafted QBs

Runner uppers. I like that one. Please use it 😅

I committed to Adam Thielen cause there are no other decent receivers in Carolina and I always thought he was so underrated every year

Monty gonna get one of these awards end of season. Hes been such a beast, unfortunate he got hurt. Honestly expect him to beat Jamaal Williams TD record if he can stay healthy for a season.

1:54 yeah I drafted him 8th in one league for last year’s fantasy season… I tried to warn people about him this season, I really tried.

Someone in my league dropped Theilen after a couple games. So glad I picked him up.

I drafted adam thielen in both my leagues in the late rounds. It was my shot in the dark flex option and its paid dividends

Russ is my backup qb with my starter being lamar Jackson

3:10 I got Stefon Diggs in the 3rd. Ummmmmmm I don’t have the round 3 problem

Yeah when I started hearing more and more about Puca my first thought was "I'm going to hear that name a lot when the Rams play the Cowboys aren't I?"

My first receiver was Mike evans. I got him fifth round.

I’m pretty sure after today, ROY has to go to Cj stroud

7-1 with Jettas, Achane, and Metcalf (10 team dynasty startup season) to top that off I dealt Zay Flowers and Tyler Boyd for Tee Higgins and Anthony Richardson in like week 3. How in the hell am I here right now? 😂

i drafted adam thillen last overall let’s gooooo

In my league Amon-Ra St Brown was a third rounder

I can't believe people wrote off Thielen. He was a really good receiver that was just over shadowed by JJ. The Panthers have no one else to throw to, of course he's going to be doing numbers. Best late round pick up for me. I have him in all my leagues.

I picked up Puka in week 3 I’m so happy

I got Travis Kelce in the 2nd round in one of my leagues (it’s a 12 man one)

I was able to pick up pucka and achane

Great vid Brandon!! ❤

As someone who’s team consist of Tee Higgins, Ridley, Kyren Williams, JJ, Hockenson, Puka, and Addison, I see this as an absolute win

The only reason im not undefeated en route to a league win is because Kyren Williams got hurt. I actually drafted him, along with going 0RB in the first 2 rounds and getting a 3 headed WR monster of Cooper Kupp, Jamar Chase, and Jaylen Waddle with Tua at QB and Puka Nakua a week 1 waiver pickup. My only screw up was that at the end of round 3 i had a choice between Travis Etienne and Rhamondre Stevenson and unfortunately my homerism and belief in Bill O'Brien won out

7:06 I mean technically he did turn the defense around too.

Who I drafted who's starting regularly (double QB league 12 man league) (I had pick 5) Lamar A.J Brown Derrick Henry Goff James Cook Adam Thelein If it wasn't for Darren Waller having no one to throw him the ball and missing on Tee Higgins It may have been the best draft in recent memory. I'm averaging almost 150 points (didn't stop me from losing to my Dad 😑)

Do you guys think Puka Nacua will win a ring with the team hes on as of right now?

I would argue the most improved has to be Brian Robinson. That guy went from bottom of the barrel, to one of the tippy top RBs. Gotta be him tbh, and I’m an Eagles fan.

Bran really just threw a blazer on top of the same t-shirt he always wears and thought we wouldn’t notice

I took a receiver in third round and I’m not mad at all Saint brown baby

I picked up puka after week 1 and I trusted him it paid off

I got AJ Brown in the third round in my fantasy league

I'm in one 12-team league and I've cycled through so many of these players on my team... McCaffrey ETN Kyren Chase Olave Moore Puka

so when will you show us your fantasy team?
