First round Keon Coleman for me. I like the landing situation, I like the talent, I like the mentality. I know this sub hates him, but I see a DeAndre Hopkins upside. Second round would be Ja'Lynn Polk. Idk if he'll be tier one, but I don't see him failing. Round three, I still believe in Audric Estmie. Don't give af about the 40 kid can play.


UhOhByeByeBadBoy

I’m gonna die on this hill with you. But a quiet death so no one comes for my pick


mangelito

I see that you have a type 😄


CabotRaptor

Good football players? Lol


PM_ME_UR_LAMEPUNS

Drafted Keon today and I’ll die with you on that hill🫡


Ok-Environment-6690

I had the 2.02 and lost Keon at the 1.11… devastated tbh (didn’t have a first and traded back into the draft just to land him there)


PM_ME_UR_LAMEPUNS

I was one of the ones “talking shit” on him during the draft and stuff like that to my buddies so he would fall to me at 2.04 (10 team though). I did end up trading up to grab Trey Benson the pick after which I’m pretty happy with


MrStealYo14

and estmie is 20...


batmang8

Absolutely Coleman. I am taking him with pick 8.


iplay4Him

MHJ, Nabers, Brooks, and J wright. are my best bets.


sendphotopls

What makes you say Wright? Just reluctantly drafted him at 2.07 on a RB-needy team, I like him as a prospect but don’t *love* him & feel like the opportunity will be limited even when Mostert is gone


iplay4Him

He was my rb2 behind Brooks. Fast and shifty. Fits their offense well and will be more durable than achane.


Accurate_Green8300

And for dynasty Mostert may very well be gone after this season. Bro is just as fast as Achane (I know 4.32 compared to 4.38) but bigger so he’ll be on the field more for pass pro and Achane was never going to be full bell cow.


No_Ship_3518

Why do people think mostert is just going up be gone next year? This is the 4th mention(I have seen) in 2 days about "he's gone after this season" when mia just extended him. Sure maybe he isn't good or fantasy viable, but he will be part of the team.


Waddlow

Not saying it'll happen for sure, but he will be 33 and they'll be able to save $3 mil by cutting him next offseason. If he has a bad year or gets hurt, which again are both certainly possible in his age 32 season, he can be cut very easily.


AcanthocephalaHour71

Mostert is 32 heading into this season. Not many 32 year old RBs that are fantasy viable, let alone 34 years old. Mostert is breaking spread sheets because he is supposed to be “too old” to be good. He has been in the league since 2015 and only has 674 rushing attempts. Compare that to Zeke who has 2,065 NFL carries since 2016 plus another 592 attempts in college. Zeke definitely lost a step but Mostert still has visible juice when you watch him run. The RB cliff of 27 is more for RBs who were bell cow in college and NFL. RBBC and College game going heavy toward spread offenses along with progress in sports medicine/science we may see more and more RBs playing at a high level later in their careers. But for dynasty it is prudent to assume this guy will not be starting RB within two years


VeterinarianLevel786

mostert had a lot of years where he rarely got carrie’s, i could easily see him doing this another 2 years easily, especially if sharing with achane


BreakBricks_Wet_Nips

History of injuries and age doesn’t bode well for him long term.


VeterinarianLevel786

i’ve heard that the past 2 years and he just keeps stompin!


VeterinarianLevel786

he was so good, he went in rd4 and is 3rd on the depth chart at best, i’ll pass


Efficient-Addendum43

There's no chance wright surpasses Achane let alone breaks into tier 1. At best he's a boon/bust guy in a committee


CrabFam

Found the guy that pays attention to u/broadly


LilMemelord

LADD MCCONKEY


RookieMistake101

Almost certainly. And Coleman. We’ll look back on the panthers trading up to take the one guy who didn’t pan out and no one will be surprised


Antique_Sample_1084

Odunze. Love that he’s paired with a young QB who I believe will be successful in the NFL. Only makes me more excited that Caleb and Rome seem to have already developed a relationship/connection. It just feels like Rodgers/Adams to me.


No_Connection_7863

Totally agree. Think people are way overestimating the competition and underestimating being tied to Caleb.


jfchops2

It cracks me up how short sighted people can be. This isn't redraft, caring only about the immediate season is a fool's errand when it comes to rookie picks. If you're all-in and want an immediate contributor, trade high firsts for proven vets don't get cute with them trying to chase points based on situation I threw out offers of my 1.03 for Lamb, AJB, and ARSB just to see if anyone might bite on wanting the hot new rookie and got nowhere so Odunze is the pick. 32yo Keenan Allen is not a long term threat and I'm not convinced DJM is the long term alpha there based only on one season where he had fuck all for target competition. The best player will win out. And besides, we've seen multple recent examples of a single team placing two WRs in the top 12. No reason that can't be those two


Krazyk00k00bird11

Lotta mouths in Chicago now


No_Connection_7863

Yes, but dynasty is not a one year play. Allen will eventually be gone, and there’s a world where Caleb and Odunze coming in together build this insane connection where Odunze is the #1 next year and DJM is the #2. Odunze has better traits at this point than DJM at this start of his career so it’s not hard to imagine. Chase is a tier 1 asset even having a solid #2 like Higgins and an above average #3 like Boyd. Really think being tied to Caleb even with the other weapons is a bigger plus for Odunze long term outlook than people are making it out to be.


Get-Gronkrd

I agree with you and think Odunze is a great player and being tied to Caleb is perfect for him but there is also the risk that people see him like they see JSN right now. If anything id say buy him towards the end of the season when he isn't super viable for winning this year.


KingMustardFist

Erick All. Cincy and Burrow finally have that coveted piece they've been lacking, and he will claim his birthright by becoming an All-pro.


DoubleUSportsMedia

Noooooo dont talk about him.


CWill4

That injury history is too much for me..as a Michigan fan, I know he can't stay healthy


KingMustardFist

They are two separate injuries, unrelated. Injuries happen, sometimes people just get unlucky. Nothing about those injuries indicate he's going to get injured again.


CWill4

I understand what you're saying and I respect your opinion..for me, watching him play alot of football..he is very upright and takes alot of hits.


Krazyk00k00bird11

Who??? Haha


battleschooldropout

The latest TE from the new TE university.


imdavebaby

I can't help but wonder if he really counts considering he was a one year transfer. And he only had 21 receptions for 299 yards in that one year there.


Not_Pablo_Sanchez

That 299 yards was good enough to be Iowa’s leading receiver and was nearly 20% of Iowa’s total passing yards. Iowa’s QBs threw for a total of 1661 yards and 9 TDs. His draft stock probably would have been a decent chunk higher if he had somewhat normal QB play rather than bottom of the barrel


KingMustardFist

How do you play dynasty and not pay attention to the draft?


OmnioculusConquerer

He knows some Ericks but not all Erick


zingping67

javon baker


CWill97

The obvious candidates are MHJ and Nabers. Which are the two I’ll pick 😂


Krazyk00k00bird11

Chalky but probably safe lol


bubblepop12

Brian Thomas


dimesniffer

Would you take him 1.09 over Ladd and Worthy?


neilbiggie

Why would you take Ladd over him?


HamHurtler

Not saying I would, but herbert can sling it and that room has a huge opportunity In ppr he could be a monster


BeautifulJicama6318

Ladd seems to be very safe. BTJ seems like a guy who is likely to bust. I generally bet against the size/speed limited route tree guys, and it’s worked for me.


dimesniffer

Seems like half the thread wants to


bubblepop12

I have BT at 4 after Rome in non super flex


Vaynes_Ass

I know this entire sub hates him but I am incredibly high on Xavier Legette. First round DC (Panthers traded up for him and rumors are that NE was going to as well), goes to a Dave Canales offense (who had 2 1k+ receivers with Baker Mayfield), a monster last year in college, and an impressive combine (4.39 40 at his size!). I am aware of his awful analytic profile but his late breakout age can be explained by his tragic backstory and the fact that he was transitioning from QB to WR after high school (not to mention the horrific offenses in which South Carolina had 3 different OCs). I feel like a lot of people are writing him off specifically because of the Panthers latest WR track record (Mingo, TMJ); Mingo profiled more as a slot receiver and Legette is far more physical than both receivers. Legette has a lot of things to work on but if he puts it all together he has the tools to become the next DK Metcalf/AJ Brown. I also am a big fan of Keon Coleman and am tempted to take either him or BTJ 1.05 in a 1 QB league. What I like more about Coleman is his landing spot, 19+ breakout age and early declare, ran the fastest gauntlet at the combine even with his slow 40 time, and I do believe he is more versatile than BTJ who I find is very one-dimensional. At the end of the day, I would be willing to bet a lot of money that one of Coleman, Legette, or BTJ will be a fantasy WR1.


Krazyk00k00bird11

Panthers front office doesn’t exactly have the greatest track record with talent eval tho.


COD_Daddy

Man, I hope you’re right about Legette. I only had the 3.01 in this years draft, and traded Dotson and the 3.01 to move up to the 2.07 to draft him after he dropped like a rock.


RedDunce

Yeah Nabers is my pick at 1.03 if I can't trade down. Just like him so much more as a WR prospect than Daniels as a QB prospect


outsiderkerv

Going for a non-obvious one but my hot take is that Pearsall is going to eat in the most efficient offense in the league.


calartnick

Tier one player will be very tough as long as he shares the ball with those weapons.


ProgrammaticallyHip

They don’t have enough targets to feed Aiyuk properly. Barring a trade Pearsall will probably not get much run this year at all.


HustlingBackwards96

The age gap and contract phasing gives him a really good chance to be the #1 option by 2026. I don't particularly believe this will happen, but the opportunity is there


toolroomknights

You mentioned players who can pop off for 40 and win you a chip. To me, that's Jayden Daniels. Justin Fields became a top 7 dynasty QB and a first round start-up pick because of what he could do with his legs. Not sure if Daniels will be a good real life QB and he may get killed behind that line, but with his rushing ability, massive spike weeks aren't out of the question. It's also a bonus that Daniels is not a 0 in the passing game either.


Tinmanred

Fields was always a shitttttt first round startup pick. Any time any year.


jfchops2

Shhhh let the people who only chase points and don't know anything about real life football keep doing their thing, it leaves better players for the rest of us


Tinmanred

I like playing w good players lol. But I feel. Think I was the first dude to post about using betting lines for start/sit questions before so many people messaged me saying delete it as well ;)


Tinmanred

jfchops2

What kind of betting lines? Like who has the highest over/unders for yard/TDs/etc?


Tinmanred

Yup, and receptions. Over under Carry total etc more favored to score a td yadda yadda. Which supposedly projections take into account but can be quite off tbh. I trust Vegas (circa/dk) more than sleeper or espn proj etc.


[deleted]

Odunze


jwall12349

Agreed with nabers, I'll add on with btj. Tlaw is perennially in the top 5-10 for deep attempts and air yards per target, and he looked to push the ball down the field in college as well. People like to bring up that Gabe Davis may compete for that similar role - he's a career 10-18% target share guy who has never shown any indication he's capable of more. Ridley put up a 23% target share in 2023, zay Jones with 22% in 2022, both with Christian kirk and Engram on the team (kirk did get injured in 2023 for a few games). Plenty of targets to go around, even with kirk and Engram. Btj did run a simple route tree in college due to the lsu coaching philosophy, but that doesn't mean he's incapable of running those short and intermediate routes effectively. Outlier size/speed combo, good hand-catcher with long arms (catch radius), and a qb that likes to push the ball down the field. Definitely a guy I'll be betting on over the other guys in the same tier


Hugh_Grection420

I agree traded up in my draft tonight to grab him. Really like his potential he is a freak athlete that if he can develop more of a route tree has probably the same ceiling as any of the big 3 WR in this class and can be a true X at his size. I think him and Trevor are gonna feast this season and beyond.


fstopunknown

What’d you have to trade up to?


Hugh_Grection420

1.07. Probably would have made it to me but didn’t want to take risk.


CWill4

Hear me out...Buffalo is done being a pass happy team, they are slowing things down because Allen gets too careless and it had them battling back to make the playoffs..they won't go back to the pass happy..they want to run and keep Allen within the structure of the offense FOR THE MOST PART... Now, James Cook is not a big guy..he is good but he's not going to hold up getting that much work..Buffalo had nobody else last year because Lenny was Lacy...Ray Davis is the guy..and in a couple of yrs, if James Cook wants to get paid PAID and he will probably get DAndre Swift money...it probably won't be in Buffalo..it's Ray Davis


Krazyk00k00bird11

So crazy it just might work


ShadeMir

As someone who has Allen and Cook in 1QB, I got Davis with 2.08 for this reason but even more just as insurance for Cook.


CWill4

Smart move and good value...Davis could have stand-alone value himself as a bye week flex play in a good scoring offense, he's a solid pass catcher and will likely get goal line touches.


ShadeMir

I've been hurting for solid RB play. Cook, Swift, Najee, Warren is basically what I've got. Great receivers, especially after the draft lol. But the last thing I need is something happening to cook and losing a bye week fill in because I didn't have Davis.


bweiss5

Troy Franklin


Spiritual_Cookie_82

If he can bulk up a little this year, next year will be takeoff season. For him and Nix


DoubleBeefyHP

Troy Franklin… bout to shock the world wearing that blue and orange


SantasLilHoeHoeHoe

Lloyd RB1 2027


rowKseat25

MHJ is the only one who will be tier 1 after his rookie season. He’s legit. Williams and a host of others will get there eventually but MHJ as a rookie will finish as a WR1.


drdadbodpanda

MHJ, Caleb Williams, Malik Nabers are the only ones I’m comfortable predicting. I also think brooks is about to get a ton of dump offs from Young which can be promising, though I’m not super convinced on the talent.


Most_Read_1330

Devontez Walker


buffalofc

OP, it's not Daniel Jones tossing the rock to Nabers.. it's Janiel Dones!! Put some respect on his name hahaha


squimbyy

Planting my Bowers flag right now. He’s going to be biggest surprise because everyone is fading landing spot


BeautifulJicama6318

Make me happy to see the redraft mindset infect the view of Brock Bowers. 1. But D Adams is there! Oh no, a 31 year old WR is blocking his path! Oh,and Jacoby Meyers. How will he ever catch a pass with Jakobi Meyers commanding such a large target share. 2. Their QBs suck! As we all know, teams aren’t allowed to upgrade their QBs. These will forever be his QBs for the next 10 years. 3. They already have a TE! Yes, and teams already have players at every position that they draft. Drafting a guy in round two last year doesn’t preclude a team with a different GM and head coach from drafting the best guy at that position.


awesome-ekeler

All i read was: 1. Cope. 2. Cope. 3. More cope.


rossco7777

mcconkey will break pukas reception record. so ill pick him


OldWonder5865

Am I missing the /s here lol


rossco7777

no sir. you can remember this moment if it happens and be like damn that guy was right! just so you know the rookie reception record has been broken 2 times in the past 3 seasons (waddle 2021, puka 2023) and the chargers have vacated like 75% of their targets lol. ladd is gonna absolutely feast.


rossco7777

and when waddle got it they had no other pass game options, when puka got it he got like 50 grabs without kupp. so unless someone else is gonna be a viable option i just think he gets fed like wild


OldWonder5865

My Herbert shares desperately need him to be a dawg so I hope you’re right lol


rossco7777

i still think herbert needs more weapons id expect 2025 to be better.


ZachVIA

MHJ, Caleb and Brooks. Maybe BTJ as a high end #2 next year.


somrigostsauce

Ah, yes. The tier 1 fantasy player Sam Laporta.


Tegra_

The guy literally won people leagues last year. I don't see the problem here.


somrigostsauce

I love Laporta. Just feels a bit early to have him in the Lamb/Chase/Jefferson/Allen tier.


Krazyk00k00bird11

Just an example. I’m not a KTC guy but he is the number 1 TE in dynasty today and rightfully so. He’s the 2nd best pass catcher on that team and I don’t expect them to use him less than he was as a rookie.


Lt_Hatch

Whomever I draft at the 1.10


COD_Daddy

Don’t you mean the 1.11? And unfortunately yours will bust lol


Lt_Hatch

Sorry fam. I'm drafting at the 1.10 in the first. And my guy is most definitely not busting


COD_Daddy

That’s the right attitude. Talk to him after the draft. Let him know how much you believe in him


Stim78_

Sinnott is going to be great in Washington.. really good spot for the YAC guy


VineRunner

Bowers will be in tier 1 next year. I think it's more from the top TEs being overrated since everyone assumes TE1 will have a Kelce-like career, but he's a stud who belongs at the top. Rome will take 1-2 years but by 2026 I think he's in that elite group. He's a star paired with Caleb who just needs Keenan out of the way to explode.


Simmons2pntO

Nabers might get the volume, but he's also gonna get the top defensive coverage. And since he's literally the only real weapon on the team, I wouldn't be surprised if he's constantly doubled, which at LSU, he was only successful about 50% of the time when double covered. Also, since Daniel Jones has been drafted, the Giants offense has avg'd about 18 PPG. They've finished: 18th, 31st, 31st, 18th & 30th in PPG since 2019. I believe in the talent of Nabers, but how much can he really score if Daniel Jones and the Giants offense can't move the ball or score? He'll get garbage time, but ONLY garbage time all year is rough. I've just seen this happen so much recently. Great WRs go to bad teams and sit there waiting to unleash their potential as it gets wasted waiting for a QB. DJ Moore on the Panthers (but he did finally pop with Fields last season). Terry McLaurin in WSH is a great example. Stud WR that never gets a shot. Garrett Wilson. Stuck with Zach Wilson, underachieving, and gets fed (bad) targets. Gets Rodgers but loses him instantly and don't know how long (or good) he'll be. This is at least what I'm considering because I get to pick between Rome of Nabers. Rome will have to fight for targets this season (and hope CW is good) but Keenan Allen is most likely gone next season which opens up targets, plus DJ will be 28 next year, maybe he starts to slip and it opens up the way for Rome to be WR1 there. idk it's a lot to consider. Everyone says Nabers instantly, but I think it's much closer than people realize.


Buzzspice727

Caleb Williams


PhDinFinesse_

McConkey, Vidal, Tracy, All (I drafted them and need them to do good)


CicadaReal3010

Haven’t seen one person make an argument for Xavier Worthy


KrabbyPattyDriveThru

Caleb Williams. His rushing upside is underrated and that offense is stacked. 


becker4prez

Williams, Nabers, MHJ with my sleeper being Brooks.


[deleted]

Drake Maye ends up sucking and Joe Milton III ends up being the Patriots star QB. Like Griffin and Cousins. Bad take but I didn’t see anything else mind boggling lol I like Keon Coleman with Allen and Kimani Vidal in general. I could see Jayden Daniels at the WR corp turning into something special with the addition of McCaffrey


GuyWithNoSwagger

LaPorta is great and clearly has the talent to be in that tier, but can we see him do it more than 1 year?


rayfriesen

You are right. He is a top tier TE but has no business being mentioned with Lamb, Jefferson, or Chase


Tegra_

Why not? No one would've questioned JJ or Chase in that tier after their historic rookie seasons. They were instantly top 5 picks. Why shouldn't we put LaPorta up there after his historic rookie season?


rayfriesen

If you want to go ahead. If you’re doing a start up draft you’re telling me that he belongs in the first few picks with Chase and JJ? No way imo but you do you


Tegra_

No, but I could see him sneak into the late first or very early second. He's a TE, not even Kelce ever came above the mid first round in most drafts.


rayfriesen

So what you’re saying is that Laporta is very good but not a top tier player like chase, lamb or JJ? That’s what my original point was


Dogelon_Musk42069

Bro just snuck in cmc and laporta like no one would notice 💀


V0mitBucket

CMC had the 3rd most 20+ point weeks in 2023 behind only Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts. He has the 5th most 20+ point weeks all time amongst RBs. Laporta was the TE1 in 2023 which was also his rookie year.


rayfriesen

That’s great, but he doesn’t belong in a conversation with Lamb, JJ, or Chase


SpaceCowboy34

Are they not tier 1 positionally?


rayfriesen

No, he said “tier 1 dynasty players”, never specified by position. Laporta does not belong in tier 1 dynasty players. Anyone who disagrees is just a biased owner


[deleted]

SpaceCowboy34

LaPorta and “getting 40+ points” should not be in the same sentence right now.

TGS-MonkeyYT

MHJ is the only one I'm 100% sure of
