But we cover basically every other format today after we start our show with some ADP trivia (1:30) to see recent trends in average draft position. Who is being drafted earlier over the last four days: Saquon Barkley or Jahmyr Gibbs? Drake London or Kyren Williams? Malik Nabers or Michael Pittman? ... Jamey and Dave give their takes on the Steelers (11:15), Panthers (14:30) and Browns (16:00) backfields and then we go over the news and notes (19:15) before getting into how to draft in different formats! We start with 0.5 PPR vs. full PPR (23:00) as there are some subtle differences here. Should take Garrett Wilson or Jonathan Taylor? Should you avoid the WR/WR start in this format? Then we hop over to non-PPR leagues (27:30) and review yesterday's non-PPR draft. Are quarterbacks more valuable in non-PPR? ... Our next format discussion is about 2-WR leagues vs. 3-WR leagues (38:25). What, if anything, changes here? Should you avoid the Hero-RB approach in a 2-WR league? And we finish up with 6-point vs. 4-point per passing TD leagues (50:30), point per first down (55:50) and Superflex (56:50). Is this the year to wait on QB in Superflex? ...
