9/25/23 Patron Only Q&A Session from the Discord

Here is a video of this week's Patron Only Q&A from the Discord channel!

Reminder that next week will not have a MNF stream because of my travel back from Dallas, but I WILL be having the next Q&A on that Monday at the normal time, 6PM EST.

The following week will be a normal Monday Q&A and stream.

Then in week six, I'll be at the Chargers game at SoFi on Monday so I won't have a Q&A or stream that night. The Q&A for week six will be on Tuesday of that...

9/18/23 Patron Only Q&A Session from the Discord

Hey y'all! I know that a lot of you probably could not make our live Q&A session on the Discord this past Monday, so here is the full video of that hour long Q&A!

If you are in the Discord tier of the Patreon and want your questions answered next Monday when we go live again at 6PM EST until 7PM, you can submit them starting on Sunday over in that channel on Discord.

Enjoy!

Fantasy Rankings v3.0 (finally) for PPR, Half-PPR, and Non-PPR formats!

Hello once again everyone!

My apologies for taking so long to finish the final version of the fantasy rankings this week. I had to dive down some film and stat rabbit holes to parse out where I wanted to actually move many of these names...so v3 ended up being quite different from the previous versions. I also had to make some pretty heavy edits due to injuries that have taken place over the last week or so (Jeudy, Kupp, etc).

As of August 31st, these are the most up to date ran...

2023 Fantasy Rankings v2.0 for PPR, Half-PRR, and Standard scoring!

Version 2 of the fantasy rankings is here for all formats! I'll be going through the last post today from v1 and answering any remaining questions that y'all had, and I will also be answering new questions in this thread as well so feel free to ask me anything you want!

If you watch to switch between different scoring formats, as always those are just separated by different tabs on the excel doc.

2023 Fantasy Rankings v1.0 for PPR, Half-PRR, and Standard scoring!

It's finally here! Thank you all for your patience while I put these together slightly later than usual. Me getting sick up in Seattle for a week certainly slowed me down, but we were still able to get this initial version of the rankings done in time before the start of the regular season!

Keep in mind that these rankings WILL CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY week by week during the preseason. Injuries unfortunately will happen so we will adjust for those accordingly, but as camp battles play out...

Dynasty Rookie Position Rankings (PPR)

Hey y'all! Just wanted to drop my dynasty rookie rankings for PPR format since I know many of you might have some dynasty rookie drafts this weekend.

If you happen to be in a Half PPR format, these rankings still apply as well because my rookie rankings tend to be less granular than trying to project actual statistics...and most rookies do not get enough catches to swing point projections by more than 1 or 2 points per game anyway, which is basically just splitting hairs. These ranking...

Updated 2023 NFL Draft Position Rankings (with more blurbs)

Hey folks, just wanted to drop today's update to the position rankings now that I was able to sit down in KC and add in more blurbs to the excel doc.

Remember, we go on with the stream tonight at 7PM Eastern over on the Bootleg Football Podcast channel to break down every pick LIVE! Come join us!

2023 NFL Position Rankings Cheat Sheet (All Positions))

Hello once again!

Here is the second version of the 2023 Position Rankings cheat sheet. I am still working on blurbs for the offensive side of the ball because I had to put this together hastily, since the college conferences won't let me use all-22 for position rankings videos anymore. That beings said, more offensive blurbs and notes will be out before the Draft starts!

Remember, this is the actual cheat sheet that I will be using when I say my thoughts on every single pick o...

2023 NFL Position Rankings Cheat Sheet (Defense)

Hello everyone!

With college conferences now cracking down on film being posted to YouTube - even just for coverage of their own draft prospects - unfortunately today's Edge Rusher rankings video is the last one that I'll be able to post during this pre-draft cycle.

Here is a link to said episode, which will "live" shortly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GY9mlEUQYI

I still want all of you...

Final Fantasy Rankings for PPR, Non-PPR, and Half-PPR!

Now that the cuts deadline has come and gone, a few key trades have been made, and we have better clarity on some injuries around the league...it's time for the final version of the fantasy rankings!

This excel doc has rankings both for individual positions for all formats, as well as combined all-position rankings for the same formats. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns! 

Film Room Fantasy Rankings (v3.0) for all formats!

Thank you all for your patience! I have finally finished watching all the film from the last week of the preseason, collecting injury reports, and texting everyone I could find in my contacts to pester them about what's happening in some camps around the league.

And with all of that work now done, my fantasy rankings have been updated for all formats including PPR, non-PPR, and Half-PPR. I hope these all help you win your leagues this year! Please feel free to ask any questions you may...

PPR, Non-PPR, and Half-PPR Fantasy Rankings (v2.0)

Hey all!

Now that I'm done watching all the tape from the first week of preseason, I've been able to finish this week's update for the fantasy rankings. I have also added Half-PPR columns for those of you (like myself) that are in a bunch of Half-PPR leagues or playing on Underdog Best Ball leagues (which is also Half-PPR by the way).

The document is attached down below.

Also here is an updated Discord link for the Discord server. If you are in the $5 tier and your Discor...

Brett's 2022 Fantasy Rankings (v1.2)

Hey everyone! With the annual fantasy videos coming within the next five or six days, I've been hard at work for the last few weeks to put together my fantasy rankings for both PPR AND Standard scoring formats!

Half-PPR will be coming soon of course (likely next week while I'm at 49ers camp) for those of you that play in that format, but I at least wanted to get the PPR and Non-PRR out there for the majority of you that may of may not be drafting in those formats this weekend.

F...

2022 Dynasty Rookie Rankings!

Hey everyone! I hope all of your draft weekends were as fun as mine was.

It seems like every year I get questions and requests about dynasty fantasy rankings, and so this year I really wanted to make sure that I put some together for the Patrons that need them. There are a lot of rookie drafts starting up this weekend, so hopefully these are coming out on time for most of you!

In the excel doc attached below, you will find individual position rankings for RB, WR, TE, and QB, as ...

Do you want offensive rankings or defensive rankings?

First things first, I just released the Ekwonu episode that you all voted for last week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIdpMgDfs4I

Second things second, it's now time to vote for the next topic. I want to put out those long prospect rankings (by position group) just like I did last year, but I want to be able to release both an offensive AND a defensive version this time. Both episodes will likely be ...

The Nakobe Dean episode is now live!

Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll to make this one possible. I really like how it came out!

Remember to vote in the new poll to determine the next episode that I posted a few days ago as well 😁

Vote for the next Film Room topic!

Alright, the Nakobe Dean episode that won the last poll has now been written and shot, and Slater is currently working on the edit. It should be coming out (probably) on Wednesday.

That means it's time to vote for the next prospect that you want me to break down! All three options are listed in the poll below!

I need your help

Hey everyone, happy Draft season! I have two requests of all of my patrons for this week... 

Number one, head down to the poll below and vote for which Georgia prospect you want me to break down first on the channel to kick off our prospect breakdowns for this spring. And number two...let me know what do y'all think of potentially having a Patron-only Discord server for me and other Patrons to chat?

I get around 50-100 DMs per day on various platforms and I've gotten complet...

The Film Room Super Bowl Preview!

Hey everyone! The Super Bowl preview for Film Room just went live!

I just want to take a moment to thank all of you who have been big supporters of the show this season. It was a truly incredible experience to get to go around the country and go to games and meet fans while making videos, and I would not be able to do that kind of stuff without you guys.

I said this in the video today but I'll repeat it here - this is the best job in the world because of YOU and this community. I...

I need help deciding the next episode...

WOW...that was an incredible weekend of football. I don't even know where to begin, so I am once again calling upon all of you to tell me what to make this week.

I'm narrowing the options down to just two games this week though for a very important reason - I rarely talk about these four teams! I don't think I've made a Rams, Bucs, Titans, or Bengals episode in about a year...and in particular for the Bengals and Titans it must be multiple years each by now.

So for the sake of...

Vote for this week's Film Room topic!

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed last week's episode on the Bills offense. Somehow Josh Allen avoided the curse for another week and still kicked the crap out of the Patriots anyway (sorry Pats fans). 

With this week's slate of games now (almost) over, it's time to vote for the next topic! Which team or game would you like me to break down the most?

Vote for the first Playoff Film Room topic!

Alright, we now know the playoff matchups for the Wildcard round and we have a few interesting rematches to work with this weekend, so it's time to vote on what breakdown you want first!

Who do y'all want me to take a look at while I'm out and about filming in NYC this week?

Vote for the next Film Room topic!

Hidden link for the new episode! --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOnQFk5qy-4

With the release of this week's show on Brandon Staley and the scary new world of football math (technically it isn't supposed to come out for another half-hour, but I figured I could post it here a wee bit early for y'all), it is now time to vote for the next topic for next week's show!

I wanted to do an episode...

I am now deep...DEEP into the Rams rabbit hole

Hey y'all, just a quick update on the Rams episode that you voted for a while back that I've been working on for a couple weeks.

The deeper I dig into this defense - or rather into this team as a WHOLE - the weirder this entire episode gets with trends/tendencies/failures/etc. There's been some crazy stuff happening with McVay's Rams in the second half of virtually every season he's been in LA, and this year is no different.

As a result, this episode is taking WAY longer to make...

I need some feedback from you guys

I feel like the channel is starting to hit a nice groove with a good balance between on-camera segments, film breakdowns, and of course the sharing of my weekly drink recipes at the end, but I am always striving to get better.

As my patrons that have invested your own hard-earned money into this channel to help it grow (which, by the way, has allowed me to get editing and production help for the first time EVER, so thank you!), I wanted to ask your opinions on how I can continue to imp...

Which rookie QB should I break down?

Welp, I'm still not 100% sure that we are going to get to see Von Miller play enough this week to actually do that episode that y'all voted for (yet), so I'm hunting for backup options.  

I already have a Ravens/Dolphins video in the works, but after that I want to do an episode on one of the rookie quarterbacks, likely Fields or Mac Jones since they are both playing well (or rather, very well!). Which would you prefer?

Welp, slight change of plans…

As some of you may have heard already, Von Miller has been declared INACTIVE tonight with an ankle injury. As a result, I’m going to be slightly pivoting the film room topic this week and will likely be doing a little breakdown on that crazy Broncos/Cowboys upset instead.

Hopefully Von will play next week and we get enough snaps out of him to do a full film room on him and Aaron Donald together!

- Brett

Vote for the next Film Room episode!

Hey y'all, with the release of the long-awaited Cardinals (and sort of Browns) episode that you voted for last week, it's time to vote for the next topic!

https://youtu.be/DaBwAKc7GPI

I waited until after the Sunday slate of week eight games was done before coming up with the choices for this week's poll, but after seeing the Von Miller news breaking this morning I decided to throw him in there as well. H...

New Film Room released, and a new poll!

No options in our last poll were able to reach over the 50% threshold so I am holding a run-off poll here between the two highest-voted options.

Ironically for the Cardinals option I'll also be able to see them live and in person next week because I'll be in Cleveland for that game. So if you are a Cards fan or a Browns fan let me know if you also plan on going to that game!

Oh, and one more thing -- a new Film Room just dropped! This is part two of the Carolina episode that was...

Vote for the next Film Room topic!

With the release of the Panthers run defense film room tonight (or at least part one of it), it's time for another vote for the next topic!

Panthers Run Defense Film Room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0AT1ykLzxQ

Here are the options for the next breakdown following the Panthers pass defense episode:
