![]() ![]() I think it’s within reason he continues the trend and breaks into WR1 territory in 2022. Granted he’s always had phenomenal receivers, but I don’t view Pittman as a massive downgrade by any means (ranked third in route win rate in 2021). From 2015-20, Ryan’s top WR’s average finish is WR4 overall. As I mentioned in ’10 players Trending Up & Down’ Ryan has produced at least one 1,000+ yard receiver in 13 of his 14 NFL seasons. I have previously stated how I expect Matt Ryan to elevate Pittman to the next level. I felt it was the appropriate time to strike, and while Pittman may not jump off the screen as a rock-solid WR1, I’m quite optimistic. I will gladly take a chance on a talent like him as my RB2.Īt this point, the WR pool was beginning to look slim. ![]() With more opportunity early on, Williams is very much in play as a 1,000-yard rusher. Of course, Gordon complicates things for Williams from a volume perspective, but the two are more than capable of producing RB2 numbers on a weekly basis, as evidenced by last season (finished as PPR RB17 and RB21 respectively). In fact, I had him ranked inside my top-10 overall before the Melvin Gordon news broke. It would be difficult to find a bigger Javonte Williams fan than me. He is a fine (fantasy) QB1, and an excellent Superflex. Brown, his stock continues to trend even further upward. Hurts has displayed QB1-overall potential, and with the addition of A.J. If not for that, there would be no chance he’d be available in the third round. His real-life passing woes caught up to him at the end of 2021 and he fizzled out from a fantasy perspective. In his first full season as a starter, Hurts led all QBs in rushing yards, attempts and rushing TDs, as well as 20+ point fantasy games. ![]() It might not always be pretty, but it’s hard to deny the man scores fantasy points. Even though the Steelers’ offense may be suspect at the moment, Harris should still be viewed as an RB1. It also helps that as a rookie, Harris racked up a league-high 381 touches (74 receptions) and an impressive 1,600+ total yards and 10 TDs. It’s hard to go wrong either way, but I leaned Harris mostly because of Cook’s injury history. It was between Harris and Dalvin Cook here. The option to stack two QB1s here is incredibly tempting, but we can assume if we pass on a workhorse RB1 now, we won’t get one at all. Since we selected 10th in a 10-team league, it means we won’t pick again for another 18 picks. Need I say more? Anyone who watches football doesn’t need to be sold on Herbert as a stud with QB1 overall potential. Herbert was the best remaining QB available. In a league where you can play 2QBs every week, of course that’s going to be a QB. If you’ve read any of my work, you know I’m a big advocate of taking the best available player with your first pick. ![]() For example, I usually go QB-RB early on in a super-flex draft, but sometimes all the RB1s you love are gone, and you have the opportunity to stack Justin Herbert and Lamar Jackson. However, every draft is different and contextual. Ideally, you will end up with a balanced roster (3-4QBs, 5RBs, 5WRs, 1-2TEs, 1D/ST, 1K) following this strategy. The aim is to lay out a strategy for achieving a high grade when drafting with similar settings. This is a 10-team PPR league with a super-flex roster construction (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX, 1SFlex, 1D/ST, 1K), selecting from the 10th overall spot. The goal of this exercise was to achieve a grade of ‘A’ or above on the FantasyPros mock draft simulator. ![]()
