Hey babes, it's Paris Hilton. So I was checking my points balance in the Hilton Honors app the other day. And yeah, I've got about a billion, which feels excessive, even for me. Just kidding. You can never have too many Hilton Honors points. And I want to do something iconic this summer. So I'm giving away all my Paris points. Just find somewhere you've always wanted to stay, then go to my socials or Hilton's and tell me about it. Just make sure you're a Hilton Honors member, and I might be sending you Paris points, because when you want points that make your summer even hotter, it matters where you stay.

Hey, what's up, John Hansen, Brian Drake and I are back with another edition of the Fantasy Points Podcast. My initial top 200 list is completed, and we have on today's pod, 20 players that I am considerably lower on than the ADP. We're talking players like Travis ETN, or E-chan, or H-chan, whatever the hell he goes by these days, Bucky Irving, Luther Burden, Jalen Waddle, Carnell Tate, Not Feeling the Rookies and more. Thanks for subscribing to the podcast, commenting, throw us a bone with a good rating. And as always, you are welcome.

All across the Fantasy Universe, welcome everybody to the Fantasy Points Podcast, Brian Drake alongside the Guru, John Hansen. And John, this is gonna be a blast of an episode. I really love that we're in the meat and potatoes of draft season. And today, we're gonna look at players who you have ranked lower than their ADP. So these are guys maybe gurus are not quite as high on as everybody else in the industry. And you of course, sooner rather than later, you'll see John's cheat sheets up at fantasypoints.com. So I'm excited, my friend. I looked at your list. I'm chomping at the bit to go over these guys with you. And this is what you do best, man. You do your rankings, you lay out who you like, who you're not feeling compared to the industry. Kind of let the chips fall where they may. And you've been really successful with it over the years, I must say.

**John Hansen** (3:17)
Yo, what's up, Brian? Well, good to be back in a normal podcast, by the way. I know we've had a couple like fill in pods that we've done with our guy Graham Barfield. Well, we'll continue to mix it up. Yeah, I've been working pretty hard on my own little projections sheet. I'll explain what this all is. We have a projections cheat sheet up on the site now, but I'm the one who does the top 200 sheet. Now, it's my top 200
What I do is I take Chris Weck's projections that are award winning over at fantasypoints.com and I just make a couple of tweaks based on how I see things. And then I basically rank all the positions, positional players by projected fantasy points. So I've got like quarterbacks rank one through whatever.
And then I just simply create manually a top 200 cheat sheet. And really the crux of the matter is I'm trying to beat the ADP. So if I think if a player is going to do better than ADP, I will rank him as far over the ADP as I can. And conversely, if I think a player is going to fail to meet the average draft position level of production, if you will, I'm going to rank him considerably lower. And this is really, like you said, this is kind of the meat and the potatoes. This is kind of what I get off on, if you will.
