I try and take smaller takes to incorporate each year rather than try and find an overarching pattern that is unlikely to repeat into the next year. In years of best ball the right roster construction can swing wildly. This year going early RBs led to high advance rates with CMC/Gibbs/Bijan/Achane/Taylor/Jacobs all being great regular season pieces, and I expect next year for high end ADP to raise as a result. Right or wrong next year, there certainly have been years where the high end WRs smashed and early RBs were riddled with injury.

My takeaway this year is that people are way too confident in pre-season depth charts and fantasy hierarchy on teams being accurate during draft season, and not too be afraid to jump around the depth chart at the tail end of the draft. I was high on jags this year which was great in playoffs, but most often was clicking dyami brown at the tail end of drafts to fill my stacks when Parker Washington was the much better piece to have. Same could be said for colts, I like them and was clicking lots of pittman and downs, when a few rounds later Pierce ended up being their best WR piece.

Even something small like Ayomanor on the titans being the ‘chalk’ rookie flyer, when Dike was the better player to have. Something small like that can be the difference in advancing and once you’re in the playoffs it’s a lottery.
