When it comes to draft strategy, it seems like all people talk about is "upside" and "ceiling," and of course we understand. Who doesn't love week-winning fantasy football options? But sometimes when considering roster construction, it's important to find safe players, too. That'll be our goal for today's podcast: the philosophy of when taking "high-floor" players makes sense. Plus we'll give you options in each of the early rounds for safe players you can feel great about drafting. And we'll update Justin Herbert's injury, Curtis Samuel's injury and discuss Jags rookie WR Brian Thomas. Guest: Scott Pianowski of Yahoo!

Let's plant some flags! It's time for our annual list of players we love drafting at their current value...we'll give you half our list on today's show, and half tomorrow. Plus we'll talk about DK Metcalf's game film from 2023 and discuss his draftability this season. And we'll also delve into assumptions that underpin our fantasy football ranks for '24: what if we're simply wrong about the teams we suspect will be very good or very bad.

The fantasy football market is a fickle beast. It will hype the living heck out of a young player, usually inflating his price to the point where we don't want to draft him...but if that young player doesn't live up to his billing, the market will drop him like a hot potato. That's where this episode comes in: today we'll list players who qualify as Post-Hype Sleepers! These are players fantasy drafters feel burned by, and so may in fact come at good value in 2024 fantasy football drafts. Also: Josh Jacobs film! He's the Jacked Gerbil!
