Floor: Williams, Harry, Edwards
Ceiling: Harry, Williams, Edwards

Would take too long to elaborate, but it comes down to the QB play. We don't know who the quarterback will be for two of them (Harry, Edwards) in 2021.

Through trading/fortunate circumstances, I end up with the 1.01 and the 1.02 in my Dynasty Rookie Draft. I was all set to take CEH 1st overall, then back it up with my personal favorite RB prospect from the class, JT. That is, until I was offered Julio Jones for the 1.02. As a Julio worshipper, I was accepted quickly. The draft came and I snagged CEH. But a lot of research post-draft on this site is telling me that this trade was a lot closer from a Dynasty perspective than I may have thought. What do you think? I tend to live in a 2-3 year window in Dynasty, and as good as I think Taylor CAN be, I do not think he will replicate the production of julio over those years. Do you agree with this line of thinking in Dynasty? Or do you think it is smarter to stock your roster for as far out as you can? Been a premium subscriber since for years now, love the site and the work you guys put out! Would love to hear my name come up! Take care and be safe!

Mike Tagliere

Hey Scott, I'm a Julio lover myself, but Taylor would've been my choice here. Not that it was a bad trade, it wasn't. But Jones is going to start trending towards the end of his career while Ridley rises. Taylor is ranked as a top-10 running back for me in dynasty, which is hard to come by.

Bob McIntyre

With McCaffrey being the consensus #1 pick and Tampa Bay and Carolina having Week 13 byes, how do you approach drafting offensive players from these teams, knowing they won't be available if you need a win to clinch a playoff spot the final week of the fantasy season?

Mike Tagliere

2:21

I really don't factor in bye weeks while drafting, as my roster never looks the same as the year goes on. If anything, you shouldn't need to win in Week 13 to clinch that bye week.

Hi Mike. What's your take on the Bucs' pass-catchers this year with Brady? Do you think they'll be inconsistent week-to week and therefore overvalued in re-draft?

Mike Tagliere

2:23

I do worry about the fact that they didn't have a full offseason, leading to lack of chemistry. Even if you look at last year, Godwin and Evans kind of yoyoed throughout the year, though both remained playable. I have Godwin as a top-8 option, while Evans should be viewed as a high-end WR2. I will say that I probably won't have too many shares of either.

Noa

2:23

I love your dynasty trade value chart. Can you give some advice on how to properly adapt the chart for half point ppr?

Mike Tagliere

2:24

Thanks! You don't need to change it significantly. There are clearly some players who benefit from catches more than others (Ekeler, Cohen, White, etc), but it wouldn't move them more than 1-4 points in value.

Joel Spangenthal

2:24

Hi Tags! I have enjoyed your recent article on undervalued players. Who are the top 5 undervalued players that could help carry our teams to Fantasy Glory? Please name the Top 5 sleepers that could offer RB1 or WR1 stats and are not currently listed as so. Thanks, Joel

Mike Tagliere

2:26

In redraft... RB1 potential: Drake, Gurley, CEH, Taylor are my favorites
WR1 potential is much harder, as you'll likely need an injury for someone to move WAY up, but Tyler Boyd and Brandin Cooks are two who I can see getting there.

Guest

2:26

Hey there Tags!!
You're pick #10 on a 12-team Standard League, the Top7 RBs have been picked as well as MT & Adams..., what would be the best strategy at this point, RB-WR combo for your first 2 picks?, or RB-RB??, WR-WR??

Mike Tagliere

2:27

I definitely would be grabbing a RB/WR combo of some sort. If you do it any other way, you'll be left behind by the time it comes back around.

Was the Titans end of season a hoax? They ran Derrick Henry through the opposing teams, but most running backs could not take a workload like that for a whole season, even as the massive beast he is, could his body hold up to that? Without that level of run, the defense doesn't have to sellout to stop the run, and so Tannehill and the rest of the offense takes a dip in production right? What are your thoughts?

Mike Tagliere

2:29

Naturally, they're going to regress. The question is: How much? Tannehill's efficiency allowed him to throw so few pass attempts. If he wasn't as efficient, he would've thrown more. I'm not too worried about him. Meanwhile, Henry was the No. 14 running back in PPG prior to Week 10. Henry is likely to finish as a top-10 running back, but it'll be a bumpier road than most RBs.

Max

2:29

How do you feel about Bryan Edwards? Some have pegged him as the next big thing, potentially even beating out Ruggs for targets. Were his college injuries the main factor in his fall? Or are there other concerns?

Mike Tagliere

2:30

My final note on Edwards' scouting report were: He could be a player in this league, if needed. I didn't expect him to go very high in the draft, but was someone I liked. With that, I don't see any way he tops Ruggs in targets. He'll fight with Tyrell Williams to start right away, which he should take over at some point. But not a redraft guy I'm targeting.

Rom

2:30

If the eagles do not sign another substantial rb, like a Carlos Hyde or Devonta Freeman, are you taking Miles Sanders as a sure fire RB1?

Mike Tagliere

2:30

If they don't add another running back of significance, I'll take him as my RB10, yep. However, I'm guessing they do.

Dynasty Complex

2:31

What's your take on RBs in dynasty startups? Pay through the ears for young guys like CEH, Swift, and Akers, or take the discount bin veterans i.e. DWill, Kerryon and Henderson and load up elsewhere?

Mike Tagliere

2:32

I'll take rookies drafted in the first or second round all day. They're going to get opportunity, so when you add in the landing spots for CEH and Taylor, it's a goldmine. Swift, Dobbins... not as much. It just depends on value and where you get them.

Miles

2:32

What is you most controversial sports opinion and most controversial non-sports opinion.

Mike Tagliere

2:34

Non-Sports: That Wendy's spicy chicken is far better than Chik-Fil-A.

Sports: Aaron Rodgers is still top-two as the most talented QB in the league.

Fellow Chicagoan

2:34

Lou Malnati’s or Portillos and why?

Mike Tagliere

2:35

Totally different! Love them both, so it just depends on what I have a taste for. Pizza, I'm going to Lou's. Beef, burgers, dogs, going to Portillo's. Have you ever tried Pequod's pizza? Phenomenal.

Podcast lover

2:35

Is there a current schedule for the football pods or do you just make them whenever you have time?

Mike Tagliere

2:35

We've been pushing out two per week over the last few months. We'll ramp that up to three or four as July hits.

Rank Kenny g, Arob, Obj, Juju ppr

Mike Tagliere

2:36

OBJ, ARob, Golladay

Mike Miller

2:36

Will Clyde eldwards helair start for the cheifs if not what round do you draft him?

Mike Tagliere

2:36

I think it'd be stupid for him not to. Andy Reid isn't a dummy. I'd draft him mid-to-late 2nd round.

Justin

2:37

How high do you see AJ Browns ceiling? I spent early draft capital on him in my dyansty leagues in Hope that his targets take a big step up this season

Mike Tagliere

2:38

His ceiling is a top-5 fantasy receiver. Will he get there any time soon? Probably not considering how little his offense throws the ball, but he's talented for sure. I have him as my WR15 in dynasty, but his ADP is too high as the WR9.

Guest

2:38

Dynasty question: I have both Mahomes and Jackson. Looking to trade one. Which one? What value in return? Thanks

Mike Tagliere

2:38

I'd sell Jackson, who's coming off what will be his highest rushing total, and highest touchdown rate of his career. His value will decline over time as his legs start to deteriorate, while Mahomes is only going to get better.

Rick

2:39

Hi mike, would you be trying to trade CMC in a dynasty league right now, while he’s at his highest value?

Mike Tagliere

2:39

I wouldn't actively seek trading him, no. I want to hold onto as many studs as possible. Someone would have to overpay me for him.
