Pigging backing off this: Will you be doing annotated running back tiers like last season as well? For clarity I very much prefer the shift of content to this current form where you’re doing more high stakes/best ball analysis, but the dynasty rankings and RB tiers were amazing content.
In a 0.5 PPR home league where RBs are heavily prioritized, drafting from the 11th spot, how should I structure my team in rounds 1-6 if I start with a WR like Garrett/Puka?
Should I adopt a Hero RB by taking a running back like JT/Gibbs in the 2nd round, or should I stack another WR like London/Marvin and target RBs like Cook/Walker in the 4th round? I'm confident in finding value in the mid-to-late rounds but I want to know how to optimize my roster structure in the early rounds.
PS this my 3rd year following you and you have helped me a lot over the years and really appreciate and love your content. True genius!
Most of the analysts I subscribe to have Burrow ranked significantly lower than last year. For you, is the ranking drop due to the influx of new Qb talent, his performance last year, or something else?
Chris Olave seems to be one of the more confusing players in the low-end WR1 tier this year, with some folks ranking him as high as WR8 despite a seemingly league worst offensive line (and Derrick Carr).
Your rankings makes it clear that you prefer Waddle/Collins but if I’m drafting on a platform like Sleeper, does it make sense to take Olave at his ADP (~20) to try and thread the needle and get Waddle or Collins at their ADPs (30-36)? Or should I just reach for Waddle/Collins? Thanks!
I've been going back and forth on drafting Bijian vs. Breece and can't decide which to go with. Robinson feels more explosive and exciting but Breece has been able to do it with some of the worst offenses in the NFL. You have Breece ranked above, just curious as to why or if the difference to you is negligible. Thanks!
Any thoughts on strategy in redraft superflex this year? Should you try to grab your second QB early or enough good options to wait? Would you be comfortable with a rookie at QB3 who might not start to begin this year (e.g. Maye/McCarthy)?
Do you view Hock as someone we should have 0 exposure to in managed redraft leagues? I know you are not into Hock's profile and tend to avoid him. However, at the TE13 price, it feels the opportunity cost is reasonable given he could be a top 6 TE for the 2nd half of the season.
Answering this one here as I’ve already done the mailbag answers for the rest of these.
I’m not taking any Hock in managed. If you already have an elite TE you don’t need him. if you don’t, then you are either streaming, or combining multiple late TE bets and Hock - all sitting on your bench eating up space you could use to make waiver claims on other guys.
If your league has an IR spot then I’m more fine with it
Im pretty much guaranteed to start with Bijan/Breece and then for my second rb, following ur process for grabbing the rb2 from tier 10, have to pass on Odunze in the 9th round as my wr6 (I can start 4) to get Chase Brown.
But would it be better to grab Achane over a wr earlier as my rb2 when they are much closer in value so I can just attack the wr value later?
Have the 1.01 in a 10 team PPR with only 2 WR and one flex. I’m torn between CMC and Ceedee. On the one hand I feel confident in being able to find usable rbs on waivers all year and lean towards Ceedee. On the other hand, CMC’s league breaking upside is hard to turn down in this shallow of a league. Which way would you lean in this format?
Will we be getting updated dynasty rankings before season start?

What is the reason for being so low on Kyren Williams?

The Picks doesn’t have to be any of the players I listed

Would league size (10 vs 12 man) impact your draft strategy regarding the elite TE/QB options?
How should we interpret players that you have listed as a target but you have ranked below ADP (e.g. Stroud)?

Who are some must have mid-late rd RBs to target in half ppr home league
Im pretty much guaranteed to start with Bijan/Breece and then for my second rb, following ur process for grabbing the rb2 from tier 10, have to pass on Odunze in the 9th round as my wr6 (I can start 4) to get Chase Brown.
But would it be better to grab Achane over a wr earlier as my rb2 when they are much closer in value so I can just attack the wr value later?
Does stacking matter at all in home leagues or can you just focus on taking the best players available?
Where is Jameson Williams on your ranks? I missed him I think
Have the 1.01 in a 10 team PPR with only 2 WR and one flex. I’m torn between CMC and Ceedee. On the one hand I feel confident in being able to find usable rbs on waivers all year and lean towards Ceedee. On the other hand, CMC’s league breaking upside is hard to turn down in this shallow of a league. Which way would you lean in this format?
I also noticed that Jameson Williams was excluded from the rankings. Is he that bad?
