PLAYERS TO DRAFT: ADP Be Damned

WR Amon-Ra St. Brown Detroit Lions

Factor in that Travis Kelce is the highest I’ve ever seen a tight end ranked and we’re suddenly positioned around the 10th pick. This is the range where the decision to go Amon-Ra St. Brown over CeeDee Lamb happens.

2023 ROOKIE DRAFT PREVIEW: Tyjae Spears, RB, Tulane

RB Tyjae Spears Tulane

If you’re a believer in Tyjae Spears and the comparisons to players like Tony Pollard, Austin Ekeler and Aaron Jones, then he’s going to be available at a position of value in rookie drafts.

KEY PLAYERS: Players To Target in 2023

RB David Montgomery CHI & CB Carlton Davis TB

He seems to be on his way out of Chicago as a free agent but depending on where he lands, Montgomery could produce better for fantasy purposes. In a better offense, Montgomery might see a healthy amount of TD opportunities and potentially more receptions.

DFS STACK ATTACK: WEEK 9

QB_Derek_Carr_OAK_2

Jacksonville has holes all over the defensive side of the ball. Their secondary is below average and they struggle to pressure opposing quarterbacks. That sets up perfectly for a player like Derek Carr, who operates best with good pocket protection.

DRAFTING: Four Players to Circle

QB Kirk Cousins MIN

DRAFTING DIAMONDS: Leonard Fournette, RB, Tampa Bay

RB Leonard Fournette & QB Tom Brady, Tampa Bay

The "concerns" about Fournette in 2022 are overblown. Hie extra weight is already gone. His role in the Tampa offense is secure. The Bucs are making a run at a Super Bowl. Fournette is a proven commodity. And if Tampa didn't have significant plans for him in 2022, they wouldn't have given Fournette $12 million in guaranteed cabbage.

TARGETS AND FADES: Rounds 5 and 6

RB A.J. Dillon Green Bay and Budda Baker Arizona

The departure of Davante Adams will force Green Bay to rely on both of its running backs early and often this year. Expect A.J. Dillon's current RB25 ranking to rise throughout August. Aggressively targeting wideouts in Rounds 3 and 4 and snagging Dillon in the fifth round could be a rewarding strategy.
