How does draft strategy change between full PPR and half PPR? - Chad M. I’ve liked White from the beginning and 2024 could be his year. I do like Strong but he’s going to be 25 and is still stuck in New England. Stay patient but understand the Falcons’ quarterback situation is less than ideal and could be for years.ĭeep dynasty stash: Pierre Strong or Zamir White? - Felipe A. That said, should he disappoint in 2023, I’ll be looking to add him at a far more agreeable cost. I like Pitts as a player but I’m still not crazy about his situation. I was able to draft Ja’Marr Chase twice because Pitts was being drafted as high as 1.02. Not because of talent but because of how inflated his dynasty value had become. This is a loaded question for me because I was, arguably, the fantasy analyst lowest on Pitts. What are your thoughts on Kyle Pitts and his projection? - Christopher J. In most cases, I’ll hold and hope, and only trade if I receive a better-than-market offer. Quarterbacks like Pickett and Jones, who have not proven to be successful in the NFL yet, are “developmental” on my list. I endeavor to get four quarterbacks in SuperFlex, obtaining two young starters in the first three rounds followed by a veteran in Rounds 8-12. In SuperFlex, how do you value lower-tier QBs like Kenny Pickett or Mac Jones? Is their long-term dependability valuable - even upside assuming they show improvement from last season? Or is it better to trade them for shorter-term positions like RB? - William F.Įach quarterback gets a label as either a young upside starter, veteran starter or developmental talent. For someone like me who is passionate about rookie scouting, I like the mystery aspect of drafting before knowing where the rookies will be selected. That said, my favorite rookie draft takes place two weeks before the NFL draft. If electronic, an eight-hour clock, paused after 8:00 pm ET. I think my favorite approach is as the first NFL team goes on the clock, so does the manager holding the 1.01 in your league, but with no time limit (if doing a manual draft). When would you say is the best time to do rookie drafts: after draft/before OTAs after OTAs/before training camp or after training camp? - Matthew L. If that is too broad, look to your favorite movies or fictional characters for some potential inspiration. When I think “dynasty,” I immediately think of past cultures, kings, war machines with a little bit of fear/domination thrown in. For that reason, I like name themes involving medieval or ancient historical dynastic cultures. You win for most creative question ever! If you’re looking for longevity in a name, go back to the roots of the word “dynasty” as it has been used historically. Can you pick 3-5 adjectives for how you’d describe dynasty leagues? - Caleb H. To help me choose a name, I’d like to get a feel for the way the league works. Since dynasty leagues are all about running a single team that will somewhat change over time but consistently have some players for years, I don’t want to choose a team name that’s a pun of a player. For a nice balance of fun, trade discussion and banter, I’d go with something like 15 minutes in the first round and 10 minutes for the second round. You might also consider not setting the expectation that the entire draft be finished that same day. I strongly recommend releasing the draft order before the in-person draft to give managers time to prepare and have trade discussions. How long would you recommend we allocate for each pick? We want to allow for some trade offers to be made during the draft but don’t want it to last too long either. Our league is only in its second year and we’re doing an in-person rookie draft. Quarterbacks are the coin of the realm in SuperFlex, so I don’t mind over-drafting them. I always seek to have two quarterbacks in the first three rounds and then I like to add a developmental or aging veteran player somewhere near Round 9. I give more value to a third quarterback than most do in my estimation. In a SuperFlex league, how much value do you give a third QB? - Chris T. Toney possesses extreme injury risk but immense ceiling, and LaPorta is worthy of a trade up into the middle of the second round in rookie drafts if you have need at TE. ![]() ![]() Pierce has a fantastic work ethic and is undervalued. These are all different plays than Smith was last year. I’ll give you three I’m targeting: 1) Dameon Pierce, RB, 2) Kadarius Toney, WR, 3) Sam LaPorta, TE. I looked back to your fantasy trade targets article from last offseason and saw that you wrote, “If I could will you to acquire one player this offseason, DeVonta Smith would be my choice.” You obviously nailed that call, so I have to ask: who is your “one player to acquire” this offseason? - Lucas m. ![]() Please make sure you give me a follow-on Twitter: get to it!
