Are all batteries the same?
That's like asking if all soccer players are the same. Take Messi, the most decorated player ever. Is there any other player who has achieved that? No, just him. Now take Duracell. Is there any other battery with power boost ingredients inside? No, just Duracell. Remember, goats only trust goats, because they're built different. And Messi only trusts Duracell.
Yo, what is going on?

**Graham Barfield** (1:17)
It is Fantasy Football Daily. I am joined today by our guy, John Hansen. The guru is here. We're going to be breaking down the best and worst picks in round two. Just like we did a few days ago, we had Brian Drake on for the pod as well. We broke down the best and worst picks, made a little tiers list for round one. We're going to be doing the same exercise for round two. I will get you guys prepped and ready for all your drafts.
It is that time, John, it's July, prep time's full go, I'm ready. How are you feeling?

**John Hansen** (1:58)
I'm feeling good, other than being in dire need of a haircut, which I do have scheduled here at three o'clock. Of course, at my age, I'm just happy to have hair.

**Graham Barfield** (2:08)
There you go.

**John Hansen** (2:09)
Otherwise, I'm doing well.

**Graham Barfield** (2:10)
There you go, get the barber on speed dial, gotta get the cut right for the rest of the off season.

**John Hansen** (2:15)
I mean, it's a pretty simple job for my girl over here in Georgia. It's like, every time she's like, what are we doing here? I'm like, we only have one thing to do. Take what you see here and just minimize it just a little bit. That's it. I can't really work with it.

**Graham Barfield** (2:31)
There you go. There you go.
We'll be pumping through these YouTube videos like we have been all week. Just as a reminder, we're live here every day on the channel at 10 a.m. Eastern. And we also have had a breakout video, a YouTube video coming out on our Fantasy Football Daily Live feed that comes out on the podcast feed at 6 You can also check that out on the YouTube video. Brett and I just released a six deep wide receiver sleeper video that's going ham on the YouTube channel. So after you listen to this, go pop in there. Listen to all of Brett's takes.

**John Hansen** (3:06)
I love his take on Alec Pierce, by the way, our guy. Me and Brett, first senior bowl I went to was the Alec Pierce one.
And he was a little polarizing. And I just distinctly remember arguing with a noted draft expert. I won't name his name, but I was like, I love this Alec Pierce. He's like, ah, he's not that good. Well, he is good. And I like Brett's points. So check that out.

**Graham Barfield** (3:32)
Yeah, you saw the ceiling with him.
I mean, he's one of the best deep threats in the NFL right now. There's no question about it. And Brett made some really good points about how he can progress as a route runner. All right, John, let's get into this tiers list again, breaking down the best and worst picks that you can make in round two. John, there are a number of running backs. We've got, you know, this year, it's just running back markets getting pushed up the board, right? We've got eight running backs that are going in the second round. I'll be honest, I can't really remember a year where it's just like, after you get past pick 10, 11, it's the, you know, we've been talking to James Cook, talked a little bit about Ash and Jancy on our last show. When we did the tiers list, literally it's a wall of running backs after like CD. Lamb and Justin Jefferson and off the board. So let's try to break through some of these running backs and break ties because it is pretty close with a lot of them. We'll get started here with Saquon Barkley. He basically had the monster season in 24
