I want to write 17 different articles right now, but time is finite and a lot of your most important drafts are here. So I'm going to try to reduce those down to a concise list and a statement of how to approach each position and other considerations to keep in mind. Here we go:
Offenses to Target and Avoid
- TARGET: Buffalo, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Tampa Bay
- AVOID: Arizona, Indianapolis, New York Giants, Philadelphia, Tennessee, Washington
Strategy Cliff's Notes
- QB - Josh Allen or wait a while. Maybe a long while.
- RB - You don't have to get one in the first two rounds, but you need to get two in the first six. Don't spend a lot of bench picks on running backs.
- WR - A lot of value on the board in the 4th-6th, and potential fantasy starters are on the board well into the double-digit rounds. Don't overinvest early.
- TE - Bowers could be a PPR league winner. Loveland too. Kittle and Kincaid are worth taking as flex over WR on the board. Take two 12-top options in PPR.
Quarterback
- TOP VALUE QB1: Trevor Lawrence
- TOP VALUE LATE ROUND QB: Malik Willis
- WORTH PAYING UP FOR: Josh Allen
- TOP 3 CEILING TARGETS: Justin Herbert, Caleb Williams
- MORE VALUE PICKS: Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield, Tyler Shough
- WON'T TALK YOU OUT OF: Brock Purdy, Matthew Stafford, Bo Nix, Dak Prescott
- OVERPRICED: Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Jaxson Dart
- AVOID: Jayden Daniels. Patrick Mahomes II
- BEWARE SLOW START: Drake Maye
- CHEAP BUT RISKY: Kyler Murray, Jordan Love, Daniel Jones
Quarterback - 6-pt Pass TD
- VALUE ADD: Joe Burrow, Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy, Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield
- VALUE DROP: Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels, Jaxson Dart
Quarterback - 2QB/Superflex
- DON'T FORCE QB EARLY PICKS: You'll pick ok with 2 QBs ranked 15-21
