ADVICE

Take Chase Brown Early

  • Draft Chase Brown a round early if you need a high-upside RB who will see heavy volume in Cincinnati's offense.
  • His 2024 second-half usage and pass-catching role give him top-RB upside despite not playing third downs.
INSIGHT

Reframe ADP As Market Wisdom

  • ADP movement doesn't always equal lost value; drafting a player where they 'should' be can still be smart.
  • Reframe thinking: a correct pick at round two is still a win even if earlier discounts vanish.
ADVICE

Lock In James Conner

  • Draft James Conner as a reliable, boring RB value who should meet his ADP if healthy.
  • He offers early-season upside with an easy opening schedule and consistent pass-game involvement.
