Hey everyone, welcome to another live chat! I'll get to as many questions as I can for the next hour. If I don't get to yours, follow me on Twitter @MikeTagliereNFL, and I'll try and answer those later!
Bryan C.

Can Ryan Tannehill be a top 5 fantasy QB in 2020?
Mike Tagliere
12:58
No, I don't believe there's a scenario he gets there. He's due for regression in so many categories, it's quite ridiculous. He can finish top-12, but when a team runs roughly 58-59 plays per game, it's nearly impossible to be better than that.
CJ
12:58
Austin Ekeler is coming off a great season and at the prime RB age, so is he a sell-high right now or should I wait until the season gets going?
Mike Tagliere
12:59
He's a sell-high for me because the Chargers are going through a lot of changes, which include a downgrade at quarterback and a lot less pass attempts. Ekeler scored more fantasy points than CMC through the air last year. Crazy, right? They may lose 100 pass attempts this year, which filters through everyone. He's a fine RB2 but that's about it for me.

Is Nick Chubb safe as a first round/early second round pick in startups this year? Will Kareem Hunt cause too much of an problem for Chubb to be a top 10 back?
Mike Tagliere
1:00
In dynasty, I'm okay with Chubb as a late first round pick. Hunt will be gone after this year (most likely), and the offense should trend in the right direction. With that being said, I have Chubb right at No. 10 in my redraft rankings because of Hunt's presence.
No. 10 among running backs, to be clear.
CJ
1:01
If Derrick Henry goes down this year, how high is Darrynton Evans' ceiling?
Mike Tagliere
1:01
We just talked about that on the podcast that'll come out later today. I'd likely put him in the RB2 range.

Does Metcalf have higher upside than Lockett? THANKS
Mike Tagliere
1:02
I believe so, yeah. Metcalf is a physical specimen who has a ceiling higher than 95 percent of the NFL. Lockett was never going to be a 140-target player, territory Metcalf can get to if they throw the ball more. If he finished as a top-10 receiver this year, I wouldn't be shocked. Not expecting it, but it's in the range of outcomes.
Kaleb

Robert woods or Calvin Ridley in a full PPR?
Mike Tagliere
1:03
I'm going Ridley. Upside is higher. Woods had never been a high touchdown scorer and it's hard to see that changing this late in his career. Meanwhile, Ridley is ascending and doesn't have to battle No. 1 cornerbacks.

What players do you own the most on your teams
Mike Tagliere
1:03
Kenyan Drake, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Hayden Hurst, AJ Green...
Adam

Hey Mike, I had a question regarding  your recent article involving players who lose value in PPR formats. I was surprised to see that Jonathan Taylor wasn’t included in this. I’m high on him in standard but I can’t imagine him keeping the same value in a PPR format considering his pass catching ability was very limited in college. Are you expecting his pass catching ability to take a step forward in the NFL?
Mike Tagliere
1:04
Hey Adam, that article was based on 2019 stats, so Taylor couldn't have been included. I would downgrade him similar to the way you downgrade Nick Chubb in full PPR formats.

Dynasty: I can make a championship run the next 2 years if I get a RB1. Would you trade your 1st & 2nd for the next two years for Kenyan Drake, Boyd, and Cook?
Mike Tagliere
1:05
That's too steep a price. Two 1sts and two 2nds? That's mortgaging your future. And what if Cook holds out?

What's the best site to host a Dynasty League? Looking for usability (app?), flexibility in scoring, and flexibility in standings (half point for win, half point for top half). Thanks!
Mike Tagliere
1:06
Sleeper is the best for those looking for an app. MFL is extremely customizable, but not user friendly.
Joel
1:06
3 player keeper league keeping Zek as one need to choose between Chubb, Allen Robinson, Kupp, and Mark Andrews for the other 2.
Mike Tagliere
1:07
It'd be Chubb and Allen Robinson for me. Both are considered second round picks in 2020, while Andrews and Kupp are more 4th round material.
Matt
1:07
What do you think of guys like Henry and Odell at the 2/3 turn in a 12 team startup dynasty compared to others such as Kenny, Amari, Julio, Ridley, AJ, Ekeler?
Mike Tagliere
1:08
Love snagging OBJ there. He's stupid cheap right now and shouldn't be. Henry isn't a bad pick there, but I'd rather have someone like Aaron Jones if available. If you have a running back, OBJ/Julio would set you up well for a championship run now.
Drew
1:08
Dynasty value of Antonio Gibson? Seems like Rivera wants to use him as his CMC (even if he’ll never be CMC).
Mike Tagliere
1:09
He's never going to be close to that usage. He's never had more than 71 touches in a year if I'm not mistaken? He'll be a gadget player. I think he's being a bit overvalued right now, but could be a buy at the end of the year if the Redskins are as bad as I think they'll be on offense this year.
Drew
1:09
Dynasty value of Bryan Edwards? Has all the tools to be a star, just not the draft capital.
Mike Tagliere
1:10
Depends on which QB is throwing him the ball in 2021, as I don't believe it'll be Carr. For now, he's a third round pick in rookie drafts.
Tom
1:10
Hey Tags, big fan! With your advice I was able to win 2 of my 3 leagues last year so thanks for that! I’m in a keepers league where I get to keep one player and lose the pick in the round where I drafted them last year. I’m having a hard time deciding who to keep with what I think are three great values. Godwin (4th round), Allen Robinson (7th round), or Devante Parker (11th round). What are your thoughts?
Mike Tagliere
1:11
That's tough. I'd likely lean with Godwin in the fourth. Can you keep him forever at that price? Robinson in the 7th is close, but I'll side Godwin for now.
Drew
1:11
Not many analysts think Joe Burrow is going to do well for fantasy this season, but they like his long-term outlook. Why not this year? He seems NFL ready to me and has a great set of weapons.
Mike Tagliere
1:11
I love Burrow and think he might surprise a lot of people in his rookie season. I currently have him ranked as my QB14.

I'm in a half-PPR, half-PPFD dynasty league. Do you have any advice or resources to help account for the first down scoring?
Mike Tagliere
1:12
Unfortunately, I don't...
Craig
1:12
Standard dynasty league. Would you trade A. Jones/K. Allen/Mostert for Kamara/R. Jones/P. Williams? Does it change anything if only Kamara would be a starter after the trade when at least two of the players traded away would have been starters?
Mike Tagliere
1:13
That's a close trade. Kamara and Jones are both free agents after this year, which weighs heavily on me, as landing spot could change their value dramatically. In a vaccum, I'd take the Kamara side, though.
Max

Thoughts on 2 players in ppr redraft who I feel are undervalued. Melvin Gordon and Davante Parker? Thx Tags
Mike Tagliere
1:15
Melvin Gordon is a good player, but I don't see how they keep Lindsay off the field more than 55-60 percent of the time. I think Gordon's being properly valued around the RB18 range. Parker depends on the quarterback situation. If they roll with Ftiz to start the year, I like him more. They may choose to throw much less if Tua is under center.
