Hey guys and gals, thanks for stopping by to chat! I'll get to as many questions as I can today, but keep in mind, if I don't answer your question, you can find me on Twitter @MikeTagliereNFL.

What will happen with Kerryon Johnson and Darrell Henderson are they droppable or keepers in dynasty.
Mike Tagliere
1:04
They aren't players I'd drop, no. While Swift and Akers were drafted in the second round, it doesn't automatically mean they view their other RBs as chopped liver. I actually adjusted rankings today for redraft leagues and have Kerryon at RB31 and Henderson at RB34.

Hey Mike! So I have loved Swift throughout this whole pre draft process, but obviously don't love his landing spot. However, I still decided to take him in our rookie draft over CEH to fill in as my rb 2/3. I think he will carve out a larger role in the offense the longer he is on the team, did I make a mistake?
Mike Tagliere
1:06
You made a mistake, yes. While I think Swift is a fine player, Kerryon is a fine player as well, though health has been an issue. Swift also plays for a worse offense, which limits his upside. Meanwhile, CEH is going to be a monster tied to that Reid/Mahomes offense for five years (option as a first rounder).

Do you think Jake Fromm will ever be an NFL starter? I picked him up in round 5 of our rookie draft to stash him long term, is it worth it?
Mike Tagliere
1:07
He's a stash in dynasty leagues. I like Fromm as a player and believe he can have an Andy Dalton type career if he gets the opportunity. Unfortunately, that won't happen any time soon with his landing spot.

Which round is the best to pick Kelce, Kittle or Ertz in a 12 team PPR redraft league?
Mike Tagliere
1:07
I have Kelce and Kittle as late 2nd round picks this year, while Ertz is more of a late 3rd/early 4th.

Hi. I have 1.11 in rookie draft. 2qb, 12-man league with deep rosters, with many managers desperate to get a QB. ... I need an upgrade on my WR corps, which I am targeting with my first pick. My TEs are also not the most realiable group of guys - Gesicki, OJ Howard and Ebron. Should I trade my 1.11 for 2.04 and Higbee? Or get Higbee and send away my next years 2nd and 4th?
Mike Tagliere
1:09
You get the 2.04 and Higbee? SOLD. He's going to be a big part of their offense moving forward, as they need to run 2TE sets to help with the offensive line issues. Higbee proved more than capable in 2019 and after seeing Cooks shipped off, there are plenty of targets to go around. I'd also be willing to do the 2nd/4th trade as well, if you preferred that one.

dynasty- which rb is fair value for Amari or Godwin
Mike Tagliere
1:10
For Godwin, you'd better get CMC, Barkley, Elliott, Cook, or Kamara. I love CEH and he'll be near that group soon, but you don't need to overpay. With Amari, you're looking at someone like Nick Chubb or Josh Jacobs.

What are we doing with the Rams backfield for fantasy? Is Akers the one to own now? Where do you have him, Brown, and Henderson ranked?
vomit 1
Mike Tagliere
1:11
I do believe Akers will be the one with the most value because he's best-suited for the early-down/goal-line work. Henderson will be mixed in and offer Chris Thompson/Tarik Cohen-type value, but Brown is off the radar.

Who is your favorite RB and WR deep sleeper in a ppr keeper league?
Mike Tagliere
1:14
Sleeper is a tough word to use anymore, but I think of that as outside the top 50 at their positions. DeeJay Dallas is someone to watch in Seattle, as both Carson and Penny rehab injuries. Damien Harris is another guy I'd grab on the cheap. As for WRs, Quintez Cephus and Donovan Peoples-Jones are two rookies I like. Anthony Miller could also make that third-year leap.
Dakota
1:14
What are your expectations for Jerry Jeudy and Justin Jefferson in year 1?
Mike Tagliere
1:15
Jeudy should become a favorite of Lock before long, though Sutton is legit and proven already has a year with Lock. Because of that, it'll be tough to put Jeudy higher than a low-end WR3/high-end WR4. Jefferson may have filled a spot in the starting lineup, but knowing Diggs saw just 94 targets last year while Adam Thielen missed essentially half the season, we can't get too excited. He's in the WR4 conversation but I don't view him as a weekly asset.
Redbull44
1:15
Does Kerryon Johnson have any chance of being the lead back in Detroit this year?
Mike Tagliere
1:16
He does, yes, though they're never going to give him a workhorse role. They're concerned with his health on a big workload.
Redbull44
1:16
Is Fournette an after thought in Jax? Or can we expect a trade of some sort? Thanks.
Mike Tagliere
1:17
It's been rumored that they wanted to trade him but had no suitors. If he's in JAX, he'll be the top guy without question. Under Jay Gruden, the offense should be much better, too. Think about it - if they're going to move on from Fournette after this year, why not use/abuse him and get the most you can out of him?
Redbull44
1:17
Is Curtis Samuel relevant in the new offense in Carolina?
cool 1
Mike Tagliere
1:18
Tough to say, though he's going to lose targets from last year. What helps is that their defense is going to allow a ton of points, which should lead to more pass attempts. Still, at best, he's the fourth-best option in the passing game. He's a bye week filler/WR5-type.

Hi Mike , thanks for doing this hope you and your family are keeping safe. I’ll be quick here had a loaded team last year can only protect 4 dynasty league no draft picks given up for protected players. Wanted to throw this at you what 4 would you keep out of... Lemar,Zeke,Kamara,A.Jones,Hopkins,Godwin,D.Adams,AJ Green,Kittle. Thanks for your time let’s hope we have NFL Football this year
Mike Tagliere
1:19
Zeke, Kamara, Adams, Godwin provided it's not Superflex. They're all first round picks. Thank you, and stay safe!

I have the 1.2 and 1.3 (0.5PPR) and am kinda stuck on who to pick between Swift/Dobbins with the 1.3. Swift was my RB1, but ended up with the Lions whereas Dobbins was my RB5 but ended up with the better Offense. Both are good, but both have their negatives, where are you leaning
Mike Tagliere
1:20
I would rather have Jeudy than worry about it, honestly. That's why I have Jeudy ranked as my No. 3 rookie, as there are just a few question marks surrounding the RBs after CEH/Taylor.

Hey Tags, what are your thoughts on Miles Sanders in PPR redraft? Eagles have always been RBBC, but he looks set for a big role this season. Where do you have him in your early RB rankings?
Mike Tagliere
1:21
I'm continually moving him up, though we are hearing whispers that they may sign a veteran. Could be LeSean McCoy or Devonta Freeman, which would knock him down just a tad. Still, he's going to be the leader in that backfield. I currently have him as my RB16 in redraft.

Hey Mike, who's your super early top five for the 2021 NFL Draft? Trevor Lawrence first off the board to Bobby's Jags, then what happens?
Mike Tagliere
1:22
I honestly only cover the class in front of me. So much can change over the course of the year, so I prioritize other tasks.
TightendTim
1:22
Do you think Ertz might take a step back this season and lose targets to Goedert, some the  Eagles wideouts? He’ll be the third TE taken in most redrafts, but is this too steeper price?
Mike Tagliere
1:23
I do, yes. He's going to be 30 years old this year, has Goedert continually developing, and the Eagles suddenly have an abundance of wide receivers. I probably won't end up with him on my teams unless he falls to the 4th round.

Hi Tags, what’s the most memorable NFL game you’ve attended live and why does it rate highly? Ps love Fantasy Pros and all you Kyle, Bobby and the team do.
Mike Tagliere
1:24
I was at the double-doink game at Soldier Field, so that'd be the one. It's always cool saying you were part of history, even if it wasn't the outcome you wanted. We love you and all the support!
Redbull44
1:24
If you had a choice between keeping Anthony Miller or Darius Slayton in a 12 team keeper who would it be and why? Thanks.
Mike Tagliere
1:25
They're in similar territory, but I'm going Miller. He's the clear-cut No. 2 option in the passing game, while Slayton is behind Shepard, Barkley, Engram, and maybe Tate (they weren't all on the field at the same time last year).
Redbull44
1:25
If you had to choose 2 players between Rashaad Penny, Ronald Jones, Anthony Miller, Tyler Higbee for a keeper league? Who would you choose and why? Thanks again for your dedication and hard work.
