Episode notes
Prefer RB First If You Pick Late
- Draft running backs early if you pick late in round one to maximize value in round two.
- You have a better chance of grabbing an elite WR in early round two than securing an elite RB there.
Jefferson ADP Stability Despite Questions
- Justin Jefferson remained stable in ADP despite injuries and is still a top receiver pick.
- Stafford's status creates risk around Puka and Devontae Adams but Jefferson stays elite if healthy.
Buy Short-Term With Joe Flacco Start
- Consider Joe Flacco as a short-term fantasy boost for his pass-catchers while he starts.
- Target Jerry Jeudy or David Njoku in mid/late rounds if Flacco starts multiple games.
