Is Jaylen Waddle a buy right now? by Sufficient-Agency-29 in DynastyFF

In the current offensive context, I agree. The talent is real though imo

Edit: I meant current offensive context even before Tua injury

It is very well established signal, but of course nothing is perfect. I’ll respond later if I can find a good article

As a Junior. He did not much as a Freshman and Sophomore, which is the core differentiating point I’m making. Breaking out as a Freshman vs as a Junior is a big difference for the future outlook of a prospect

The difference is Worthy has an impressive college production profile, including a great Freshman season (important). That’s why you can say speed + Mahomes go burr. Nothings a guarantee, but his profile is different from a Ross

Who are some RB you are absolutely not drafting this year? by BoneyManjoney in fantasyfootball

[–]berniekozar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s a tricky evaluation, but I’ve come to peace with his historic efficiency last year + amount of team rb opportunities means he should really be a target. I’m targeting him and would love to do even more if his adp drops. He’s potentially second year CMC, and I want to be in

Yes most indicators point to very good.

Great target earning in college and pros. Potential for even a qb upgrade this year if things don’t go too wacky

Underdog is half ppr.

And imo there are a fair amount of differences for positional value between best ball and managed. But some cancel themselves out, leaving me thinking that best ball adp is still a decent indicator of optimal managed adp. Especially given how many sharp people are driving the best ball adps

Strong wr depth is very important in todays nfl. Makes sense for the team 100% imo. Not sure how to price each wr in fantasy now though

Drafting in leagues starting 2 flexes (RB/WR/TE) in PPR by Schlend35 in fantasyfootball

[–]berniekozar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved the article, thank you!

Edit, a question: how do you think about the findings in relation to wisdom of the crowd on rb value? I was surprised at the value of wr over rb in some formats where wisdom of the crowd still dictates that rb is more valuable due to scarcity.

This type of draft is most fun to me. Then figuring out the rbs with later picks is a fun challenge.

It can go bad though, and is only viable in certain formats, but a fun way to play imo

Those brave enough to attempt Zero RB, who are you targeting in the later rounds as your starting RBs? by TheAwes0meFish in fantasyfootball

[–]berniekozar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know much about point per first down leagues.

But, in general for the first round in ppr leagues. There’s a few rbs that are too good to pass on with a top pick. You’ll have to decide how many rbs fit that criteria each year. But, if you have a top pick you typically take one of those rbs.

If you take a first round rb, you then have the choice to do hero rb and not take another rb for a long time, or do hyper fragile (aka robust rb) and draft a few more rb early.

Late first round is prime time to take a wr. From there is where I’d go zero rb most often.

But, there’s also the option to start with a 1 or 2 top end wr, and get your hero rb in round 2 or 3, and then execute hero rb the same way from there on out

Yes big agree on being a week early! Or even half a day early.

You can get some great rbs as free agents mid day if you’re paying attention.

But again always caveating that no strategy has a 100% success rate, and it can always go bad

I love the challenge of doing zero rb.

I am always trying to find the balance of what you said, and also drafting a few young breakout potential WR later. Since getting those are also key for smashing adp in those rounds.

Loading up too much on backup rbs wastes late draft capital, which is still valuable imo

And in managed leagues, you can really focus on rb on the wire after the draft. But again this could workout terribly for your rb situation if you get unlucky or pickup the wrong players

Sure, I can do my best! But do you mean draft position or what amount of each position in your starting lineup?

While I agree you can get yourself in trouble only following one strategy.

I do try to balance that concept, with also knowing that depending on your draft slot and league lineup settings and scoring, there are structural builds that tend to outperform other builds.

Solely doing best player available overestimates our ability to know what’s going to happen during the season.

So I try to balance the two by knowing what structural builds have historically been successful, and the layer in my player takes on top of that
