Kamara, Chubb, Henry or Elliott are all fine selections. Same deal as above with 21 and Zeke, Chubb, etc could be in the running. I would expect a lot of drafters to focus on RB-RB in the first two rounds, leaving you with a shot at any one of, say, Calvin Ridley, D.
Metcalf or DeAndre Hopkins. That temptation is too much for me to pass up. At 29, you could fill out your second RB position or grab one of those tight ends. I have my worries about Saquon Barkley and how the Giants might start him slow.
Metcalf if they fall there. And at 30? This is where I take that full minute and thirty seconds or whatever. Because this might be the trickiest spot, depending on your league format. But if you can stomach the risk of Barkley starting slow or hoping Taylor is still the bellcow in Indy, you could do that.
And as you can see I love the group of WRs in the 31 spot. That means, if he repeats that, Kelce could give you an extra NINE points a game or so more than, say, the fifth- or sixth-best tight end in fantasy. So, uh, yeah you see where this is going. If you go WR-RB in Rounds 1 and 2, there are a lot of stellar second receivers to go with in the third. Tight end hasn't had this many intriguing tiers for a while, but you need to stay sharp and have the position in mind throughout, as there's a strong possibility it makes sense to grab one during the heart of your draft.
Find the best values at quarterback. Tight end is back to being a deep position. Quarterback was already there, and in , more teams throughout the league have exciting options at the position. Allen and Murray are ranked right behind Mahomes in the top three going into this season. That means you will need to pay a premium draft pick to get them, starting with Mahomes in the second round and continuing with Allen and Murray around the third or fourth round.
Although there's nothing wrong with believing they will live up to their recent past production and follow-up expectations, savvier drafters will look for a bigger return in relation to investment from this year's similar sleepers. Aaron Rodgers is due for some TD regression after his monster MVP season, but his dropping six or seven spots in the QB1 rankings make him a little undervalued.
Jalen Hurts is getting some buzz for Year 2 in Philadelphia. In his four rookie starts, he put up numbers that would have put him in the top five, but his current ranking is around QB Digging deeper in the borderline of the top 12, Matthew Stafford and Joe Burrow each have great weapons and are destined for high passing volume, making many believe they will outperform their current eighth-round average draft positions ADPs.
Quarterback production tends to look very different from preseason projections. Also, don't forget other rookies who can have a big scoring impact soon, such as Trey Lance and Justin Fields.
This year, once again, there are several excellent values outside the top eight. Know why you're taking a player. Sounds simple, right? Make sure you've heard of the guy you're taking in each round. Have a general idea of his talent level and what his potential role can be — both on his real team and your fantasy team. Don't go for some shaky veteran WR5 when you can take a more valuable young RB4 who is an injury away from big touches. You're not taking a player because you like his name or where he went to college.
You're making every pick count with the intent that each pick can help you win a championship. Don't be a slave to the rankings. While you do want to follow somewhat of a script early, be prepared to pivot and freelance a little once you see your early draft results develop. Are you happier about some positions more than others? If a player doesn't excite you or can give you only limited help, you shouldn't take him.
Use your cheat sheet as more a rough outline than a stone tablet. Make sure you use your gut and make your draft your own. The one predictable thing about a fantasy draft is its unpredictability. Don't be influenced by other picks. This is an addendum to the previous tip. During your draft, there are bound to be position runs or drafters going straight down the list, filling out their starting lineups before getting backups. Every pick should be your own. Don't base it on what everyone is doing because you think that's what you should be doing.
Avoid getting too caught up in bye weeks. Other than the exception of making sure not to take two top quarterbacks who are off during the same week — Rodgers and Mayfield both have byes in Week 13, for example — you don't need to pay much attention here.
If you can get all three early to have a loaded wide receiver corps, you would do it. For the backfield, the same goes for drafting say, Aaron Jones and Kareem Hunt, both also off in Week It's also possible that a player whom you thought had no chance of falling to you is still available. What's important for you in this round 2—3 turn is to try to come away with a second running back and absolutely find your WR1. Pairing a top-four pick with one of these legitimate RB2s will allow you to spend the next three or four rounds filling out your starting lineup with high upside receivers.
It's critical to understand the positional scoring disparities for your league. Receivers are also much more productive later in drafts than the running backs available late. Each player listed can outscore some of the pass catchers being drafted earlier in round 2. Unless you have back-to-back picks at 24 and 25, be aware that if you select a receiver with your second-round pick, your RB2 target might not be there just a few picks later.
Positional scarcity can drive your opponents' draft decisions. Don't reach, but if Gibson or Edwards-Helaire is there for you at the 24—25 turn, take them first. There's much more receiver depth early in the third round. If there's a run on running backs early in your draft and for some reason, you can't land one of those RB targets, double up at receiver and wait on a running back.
Pivot and take the best of what's available to you. You can even consider one of the elite tight ends not named Kelce in the second or third rounds— Darren Waller or George Kittle. It's better to lock up the best players available in this scenario than reach too far for guys like Darrell Henderson, Josh Jacobs or Myles Gaskin.
In rounds 4 and 5, you can go a couple of different ways. You'll most likely want to round out your WR2, WR3 and flex spots. There are still very good receivers to be had at this point. Julio Jones , Chris Godwin , D. There's likely going to be at least a full-round wait for this group after Kittle or Waller are selected. If you don't want one of these top six guys, you should feel comfortable waiting a few more rounds or more to take a tight end.
If you're still without an RB2 in round 5, these might not be the rounds to figure out that position.
