ADVICE

Secure A Receiver Early

  • If you pick in the top four, prioritize a WR early unless you have a strong RB reason to lock one.
  • Draft at least one wide receiver by rounds two/three to maximize league-winner chances.
INSIGHT

Tight End Early Picks Lack Upside

  • Historical data shows tight ends drafted in rounds 1–4 rarely become league winners aside from Travis Kelce.
  • That reduces the expected upside of early TE picks compared with RB/WR in that range.
ADVICE

Weigh Early Quarterback Value

  • Consider drafting an elite rushing QB (Lamar/Jalen/Hurts) in the round-3/4 turn if available; it's often a near-guaranteed weekly advantage.
  • But weigh that against the larger wins available from RB/WR in those rounds.
