Episode notes
Holdouts Lower Early-Season Expected Value
- Terry McLaurin's holdout likely reduced his early-season ceiling but he remains a top-15 receiver in expected value.
- Christopher Harris prices in slow starts when players miss camp and moderates draft rank accordingly.
Delay Drafting Players On NFI/Short-Term Lists
- If a player is confirmed to start on NFI with a multi-week absence, draft them several rounds later than usual.
- Harris moved Joe Mixon down into the eighth round after the ankle/NFI news and recommends waiting on him.
Unknown Rookies Can Be Lower-Risk Values
- Rookies who are relatively unknown can be safer fantasy bets when incumbents are known quantities with limitations.
- Harris suggests Woody Marks' unknown role could make him preferable to known Texans backups.
