Players like Nick Chubb, Josh Jacobs, and even Aaron Jones, while excellent, are often creeping into the first round despite concerns about their passing game involvement or touchdown/workload regression.Īn elite wide receiver may be a better choice there, especially when you look farther down the ADP Bargain tool to see players like David Montgomery, David Johnson, and Cam Akers representing great mid-round values. We all know running backs are the lifeblood of fantasy football, but adhering too rigidly to a “get a running back early” mentality could cost you on draft day - specifically, at the turn of the first round and into the second round. Running Backs: Avoid Overreaching Early and Exploit Late-Round Values The point is, if you can’t grab one of the big three tight ends, you could end up reaching relative to the production you’ll receive, making it better to wait and draft a high-upside player and hope for the best. I discussed Goedert and Jarwin at length in two sleeper articles, respectively, so hit those for more on why I think both are great late-round targets. Williams led all rookie wide receivers in targets during the first several weeks of the season before tearing his ACL. Gesicki showed promise last season and the team may be without Preston Williams for the first few weeks of the season if he lands on the PUP list. Players like Mike Gesicki, Dallas Goedert, and Blake Jarwin all have top-10, maybe even top-five upside at the position, and are coming off the board past pick 120. This is why if you miss out on one of the top-end guys at the right time in the draft (don’t reach for them, please!) the real value comes in waiting at the position. After that, the disparities start to grow to where players like Darren Waller and Zach Ertz are being drafted. I hardly ever grab an elite tight end early, but the ADPs for Yahoo sync up pretty well with our top three tight ends at 4for4: Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Mark Andrews. Grab an Elite Tight End if the draft slot is right … or Wait, Wait, Wait As long as he falls far enough, don’t feel bad about calling his name earlier than you might normally draft a quarterback. Given the deficiencies on Houston’s defense and the additional weapons added to the offense to replace DeAndre Hopkins, Watson could easily stuff the stat sheet each and every week en route to a QB1 finish overall and he’s currently the sixth passer coming off the board in Yahoo drafts. Watson has been an elite fantasy passer without ever having a true breakout season. And he’s done this with relatively average statistical seasons (never thrown for more than 26 touchdowns or finished in the top-10 in passing yards). Since Watson became the starter in Houston, he is the only quarterback to average 20-plus fantasy points per game each year. I discussed on an episode of The Most Accurate Podcast and in a player debate earlier this summer why I believe Watson has the potential this season to be the QB1 overall, but here are some highlights. Here at 4for4, Watson is our 50th overall ranked player, so if/when he starts to fall beyond that 50 pick margin, I become increasingly interested. Per Yahoo ADP, Watson is currently going between the 50th and 60th picks in drafts. How will Deshaun Watson's fantasy production look in 2020? (Photo by Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) However, there’s one exception I am willing to break the rule for in Yahoo leagues, and his name is Deshaun Watson. This strategy still holds true today it allows you to extract more value from your early-round selections, as quarterback production is more easily replaceable (in one-quarterback leagues) than running back or wide receiver production. Wait on a Quarterback … Unless Deshaun Watson Falls Past Pick 50įor veteran fantasy football players, waiting on a quarterback has been the strategy for the last decade, at least. By watching out for these players, trends, and opportunities, you should be able to acquire a title-contending 2020 squad. These are ideas and strategies to keep in mind as your draft progress. Now that we have cleared that up, below you’ll find several strategy tips for Yahoo drafts. You will get your caffeine, but one way takes longer for the effect to hit your system. It is the scoring equivalent of drinking a half-water, half-coffee instead of a full coffee. If this is your first league with half-PPR scoring, don’t fret - it really doesn’t change the process as it impacts all positions equally. Yahoo asks you to start one QB, two RBs, two WRs, one TE, one FLEX, one K, and one D/ST with a half-PPR scoring format.
