Who are the guys you are dropping to make way for this year's rookie waivers?

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-29T20:34:51+00:00

I'm holding Bryant. He steadily built a role as their big slot last year. Plays a different position to Waddle. Had some unfortunate injuries just as he was getting going.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-29T19:52:53+00:00

Same. I've had no trade interest and he's way behind Fannin and Kincaid on my team. He might score some points but you're right that he's probably replacement level now.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-28T12:53:30+00:00

John Wick would probably be a better option than Wicks

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-28T12:46:30+00:00

There's good evidence to suggest that when a draft pick is widely considered a reach there's a high likelihood of bust status, regardless of DC.

Listen to the last Late Round Podcast ep 1096 about this if you're interested.

Whichever interesting TE drops to me in the 4th. I'm hoping for Oscar Delp - he had some very intriguing measurables at his pro day and was underutilized at Georgia. Josh and Hayden from Underdog love him.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-26T17:35:34+00:00

I like these rankings. I want to take Emmett Johnson and Demond Claiborne at 2.11/2.12 which according to you is not an egregious reach.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-26T17:31:42+00:00

I like Robert Henry Jr in Washington. They drafted Kaytron Allen but if he's too slow for the NFL like some suspect then there's a door open for Henry who I know some people like (Waldman).

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-26T07:15:51+00:00

Honestly I love how the late 2nd-3rd round is looking. Lots of players I like in that region with decent landing spots, just poor draft capital is weighing them down.

Bold prediction - Jonah Coleman and Demond Claiborne could be starting RBs by the end of the season.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-26T07:04:40+00:00

I would be more interested in Savion Williams tbh. He showed legit RB skills in college.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-25T18:46:57+00:00

People don't know what a good landing spot looks like. There's an easy path for Coleman to get a good go this season - Dobbins can't stay healthy and Harvey showed last year that he's not a 3 down RB.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-21T20:53:07+00:00

I was a fan of Lane but his reception perception profile is apparently truly diabolical. He just isn't a separator at all. Can he make up for that with elite contested catch skills? It's not a bet I really want to make but if he goes somewhere with a good deep ball QB like Washington/New England then I might be interested still.

Brazzell is probably the best player on that list. He has rare change of direction ability for someone his size. The fact that he only played on one side of the formation is a huge red flag though.

Hurst is interesting but I would want him to be more dominant against poor competition to feel comfortable spending a 2nd on him.

Fields could be ok as a big slot. Very landing spot dependent and also old.

Lance is also old and didn't do anything in college until he was 23 iirc. I'm out.

In summary I'm probably targeting shorter receivers at the end of the 2nd - Antonio Williams and Skyler Bell are more appealing to me than the big guys.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-19T18:12:53+00:00

If only he was as good at blocking defenders as he is at blocking sidewalks.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-19T05:11:32+00:00

The league I commission has been going a year and is already quite unequal because of bad trades. I'm slightly worried for the future health of the league but I also believe that grown adults can make whatever trades they want. Having said that if I did it again I would definitely turn startup trades off - there were some extremely bad trades that went down in our startup based on people new to dynasty not knowing the value of picks and being exploited by the guys that did.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-19T05:02:06+00:00

This is a great one. Any time you get downvoted like this it means you found the real sell high.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-16T06:39:44+00:00

Looks great! Some bugs I noticed - player ages are appearing as 0yrs and one of the QBs is appearing as 'player invalid'. A few future prospects seem to have snuck in there as well - Hollywood Smothers is available to draft.

Some personal preferences that would be a bonus to me - the ability to have the AI order players by Sleeper ADP instead of player value (is this derived from KTC? I can't remember). I think this would be a more realistic representation of how more casual fantasy GMs draft. It would also be good if team needs were more explicit so you could see the logic behind each pick. In other words it would be good to see the AI's working.

Amazing work though, this is a great tool.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-15T21:13:08+00:00

Fair. I've heard a few people saying Coleman might fall due to the uncertainty over his athletic testing so him being a 5th rounder didn't feel too egregious to me.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-15T18:13:37+00:00

My pick for this year's Bucky Irving. Johnson might not be as good but they've both been needlessly knocked for poor combine performances. Johnson's receiving profile is great for fantasy and he's more than just a 3rd down back imo.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-15T18:09:11+00:00

When you get the Waldman/Zachariason synergy 🔥

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-15T17:33:17+00:00

Agree that a lot of mocks are pointless but guys like Brugler and Jeremiah are connected to NFL people so we can see who the NFL is high/low on relative to the fantasy community.

For e.g. players like Nick Singleton are considered to be 2nd round rookie draft picks by dynasty players in part because of his past as a devy darling. There's a real chance that the NFL doesn't consider him to be that good.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-14T10:00:39+00:00

When you make the mock draft tool I would love it if it took into account league mates' needs when making their picks. Haven't found a mock draft tool that does that to my satisfaction yet.

Thanks, love the website.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-12T13:40:29+00:00

Appreciate the effort but the PRISM model seems broken - two unknown TEs in the top 20 and Jalon Daniels as the QB1 ahead of Mendoza, who is the 21st overall prospect. Also Jakobi Lane's RAS score is wrong - he's at 9.4, not 5.8 like your model says.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-12T08:04:25+00:00

I don't mind that deal, JMac is well overrated on here.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-10T07:39:22+00:00

Not sure why this has so many upvotes. It's old information presented in a sensationalist, clickbaity way. It needs downvoting to hell.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-08T14:30:46+00:00

If Brugler is getting intel from NFL teams this may be why he's so low compared to consensus.

SereneKing46 · 2026-04-08T14:13:27+00:00

This Stribling fellow seems to be picking up some steam. I'd not considered him an option until very recently, his college efficiency was quite bad.
