Episode notes
Late-Round Rookies Produce League Winners
- Late-round rookie wide receivers and running backs regularly become fantasy winners; there have been at least two rookies per year finishing top-24 from round 9+ the last five years.
- Drafting many rookies is valuable because the hit rate produces league-winners despite low ADP.
Stash Krosky-Merritt For Upside
- Target Ja'Cory Krosky-Merritt as a late-round running back stash due to elite start/stop burst and inside-zone fit in Washington.
- Consider him for upside when you need cheap running back depth with pass-pro and bellcow traits.
Jaydon Blue Is A PPR Big-Play Asset
- Jaydon Blue offers explosive receiving upside in Dallas and elite receiving efficiency (1.58 yards per route run).
- Draft him as a PPR upside handcuff rather than a true workhorse due to size and college usage.
