Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.
So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.

Up from payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for 12 month plan required, $15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra, initial plan term only, greater than 50 gigabytes so when network is busy, see terms.

Drafting a 0RB roster in the FFPC Best Ball Tournament to try and bring down hundreds of thousands of dollars between myself and Kevin Szafraniec. That's what we're doing today on RotoViz Overtime. Kevin, we have got the 104 in this particular draft, so we're going to push the 0RB realms and see what we can build out. We did a show earlier this week talking about how the evolution of 0RB, how the last two years in particular have affected, how it's done from a win perspective, which has been tough. It hasn't been as successful as we all know.
Running backs have stayed healthy, running backs have performed really well. We dived into all that. We also talked about how it could open up and some things could fall. The way of XeroRB in 2026, and we looked at how maybe eight, nine years ago, people thought drafting XeroRB was a bit wild and crazy. And now we're sitting here and we're like, people think that same way again. So there is that opportunity and some of the stuff we'll talk about today to set it up. But we are picking from the fourth spot, we're one pick away. Pitch me which receiver you would prefer to take. There is the three that generally go here, back to back, Pukka has gone. So for us here, is it Jamar Chase or is it JSN?
Kevin Szafraniec (1:59)
I think it's Jamar Chase.
I mean, I put in a recent article when I did the best and worst picks on the Bengals that I think Jamar Chase really like his ceilings only rivaled by Jameer Gibbs in Fantasy this year. Obviously, I'm taking Gibbs 101 anytime I can get him. But I'd still take Bijon too, just for the fact of getting exposure to certain players. So I'm still happy to take him at the two spot. But I really think it's Jamar and Gibbs are my two favorite players in Fantasy this year. So we can go with that. I do think when I did get the email that we landed at the four slot, I was kind of hoping for this exercise, just knowing that we're going into it with a zero RB build. I was hoping we'd get somewhere towards the back half, preferably even like the 112, because I just like the ability to tap multiple wide receivers. I mean, you're probably not going to get Bowers there, obviously, but you can get Jefferson and McBride there. There's a lot of things you can do where as opposed to, I think we're kind of pigeon-holed into, like it's fun to get Chase or Puca or JSN at the top there, but I think coming wrapping around to round two, the receivers aren't as appealing.
Colm Kelly (3:21)
I would agree with that, but the one thing is if you got into a room like this, and we'll see what happens is like, let's say you had the 12 and the drafter at 10, and the drafter at 11 decided to take Justin Jefferson and CD. Lam, then you're going to be able to probably get Trey McBride if that was to happen. But your second wide receiver then becomes like, do you take AJ. Brown at the one, two turn, and that's not something that you really want to do, you'll be able to rake London up. So I like, now if I could, I would say, let's get the 106, 107 because that opens you up to maybe like JSN has gone 106, and that's what Brock Byers goes 107 You still have the fallback option of Amon Ras St. Brown. But the other part of that is like when you come back in the second round ADP-wise and the second round, it's Lam, McBride, Hampton, Chase Brown, Barclay Walker, A Chan. So most of the second round at the start runs through running back. Then you get Brown, Drake London, Colson Loveland, Derek Henry, Rashid Rice, Nico Collins, and then Jeremiah Love, George Pickinson III.
