Episode notes
Prioritize Top-Six Early
- Pick inside the top six overall if possible because those players project best and secure value across Rounds 2–3.
- Aim to draft three of the top ~26 players to put yourself in strong contention.
Start With Pass-Catching RBs
- In full PPR, favor running backs who catch a lot of passes like Jamaal Gibbs over pure rushers for consistent scoring.
- Target players with high reception ceilings if game scripts trend toward closer games.
Rookies Are Underpriced On ESPN
- Rookie wide receivers are systematically underpriced on ESPN ADP compared to the hosts' rankings.
- Drafting rookies in rounds 6–9 often yields high upside relative to their ESPN placement.
