I just mentioned them in a previous answer, but Jonnu Smith has the potential to finish in the top-5 at the TE position.

Calvin Ridley and Robert Woods both have the potential to finish as top-10 WRs.

Drafting at #1, Full Point PPR, in a 10 team league. Obviously going CMC first, what do you think about the 20/21 spot? I will throw in that I know people in my league, and Mahomes and Lamar will for sure be gone by the time my 2nd and 3rd picks happen so please keep that in mind! Help is much appreciated!!!
Kyle Yates
1:32
Absolutely! Based on current ADP Consensus, Chris Godwin should still be there. That's an easy pick. If Kittle or Kelce are there, they'd be hard to pass on! Otherwise, I'm good with targeting Allen Robinson or Kenny Golladay there too.
Logan
1:32
drafting 5th in .5 ppr 12 team league. Is Henry the best choice?
Kyle Yates
1:33
Hey Logan, I don't think he is, actually. At that spot, you can get a RB that's going to be more involved in the passing game. I'd love to get Dalvin Cook there or Joe Mixon. Or even Michael Thomas if you want to go WR early.
Adam

I have 1st pick in my 12 man 1/2 ppr lg . We know I’m going cmc but I’m torn on what wr to target with my 3rd pick using first to picks on cmc and ceh
Kyle Yates
1:34
Hey Adam, I'd definitely look at Allen Robinson at that spot. I currently have him as WR7 and he'll be there at that 3rd pick, most likely.

Hey Kyle, I play in a six point passing TD league. What QBs outside Mahomes, do you expect to throw for the most TDs this season? They're the kind of guys I'll be targeting. Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers sneaky mid-round adds you think in this kind of league?
Kyle Yates
1:35
Great question! Based on my projection model, I have Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan right in that range. I don't think Rodgers gets there, but Wentz and Ryan should be great value adds in that format.

1/2 PPR, Helaire or Gurley? Thanks
Kyle Yates
1:36
I'll take Gurley, personally. But he definitely comes with risk...if you don't mind waiting for a few weeks while CEH gets acclimated to the NFL game, he's a fine pick though.
Joe Mahmah
1:37
What player from your rankings rises the most going from standard to ppr scoring?
Kyle Yates
1:41
Great question! This actually took me a second to adjust my projection template and see. CEH gets a definite bump, but Tarik Cohen probably experiences the biggest jump. He's so involved in the passing game.
Andre
1:42
What's the feeling on having Sanders as your RB1 in HPPR format? I've found that CEH is falling to me frequently and often in the draft simulator with my second pick (Keeper league) and I'm not sure how I feel with those two as my starting RBs.
Kyle Yates
1:42
I currently have Sanders as a low-end RB1/high-end RB2. CEH should take over the job eventually, but he's likely to be the backup for the first few weeks. I'd be fine with those two as my starting RBs if I have some solid WRs.
Bob
1:43
Is Melvin Gordon a solid 3rd rounder? Can you Give me an outlook on him vs Jonathan Taylor on what to expect between both in redraft 1/2ppr
Kyle Yates
1:44
I think Gordon's a fine RB2 option this year! While Lindsay should still be heavily involved, there's enough work for them both to be successful. I have Gordon at RB17 and JT at RB21 right now.

Keep 2: Lamar, Kamara, A Jones, Ekeler. 1 QB league. Full PPR.
Kyle Yates
1:45
If I don't have to worry about specific costs for them, I'm keeping Kamara and Ekeler in a Full PPR.

I pick 12th and 13th in my .5 ppr rookie draft. Quite certain the draft will go according to plan. I’m looking at a couple players. Zack Moss, Michael Pittman, and Tua. Is it too early to take a quarterback?  Secondly, am I missing anybody that I should be looking at? Thanks for your hard work.
Kyle Yates
1:46
If it's a 1QB league, I'd let Tua slide by unless I'm desperate at QB. I'm absolutely pulling the trigger on Pittman though if he's there. If Vaughn is still there, I'm selecting him too. Otherwise, I've seen Henry Ruggs fall in a couple places to that range too and I'd love to take him. Moss is kinda my last resort at that spot, personally. I'm not super excited about him, but he'd fill a need for RB on my roster.
Brandon
1:47
Hello, thanks for doing this.  12 team standard dynasty, roster 43 players.  Had Jameis and Lamar as QB's last year but obviously need another this year with Jameis in NO.  Im thinking of trading E. Elliott in the off season to try and get into the top of the draft so I could take Lawrence, Fields or Lance. thoughts?
Kyle Yates
1:48
I would personally wait to trade away assets until we get word on whether or not there's even going to be a CFB season. If there isn't a season, guys like Lance, Fields, and Lawrence would all return to school for their senior seasons.
Brad

Would you be comfortable having Rodgers as your QB2 in 10 Team Super Flex Dynasty? I recently traded Kyler Murray for Rodgers and Kittle.
Kyle Yates
1:49
I currently have Rodgers as QB13 for this season, so I'm very happy with him as a QB2. However, the Dynasty angle scares me a little bit. You're going to need to think about acquiring youth at the position here soon with Rodgers at 37 years old...
Matt P
1:49
Hey! Huge Fan of you and the show! I need your help deciding a keeper... should I keep Terry McLaurin or Raheem Mostert? I keep going back and forth and would love some advice from a Pro.
Kyle Yates
1:51
I would absolutely keep Terry McLaurin in this instance. Mostert's had just a few games of being fantasy relevant after a journeyman career and he's going to be in a committee in SF. McLaurin isn't tied to as dynamic of an offense, but he doesn't have as many question marks surrounding him.
CJ
1:51
How early do you feel comfortable drafting Russel Wilson in a 1 QB league? is a mid-late fifth round pick a good spot or is that a round or two early?
Kyle Yates
1:52
If you're hellbent on drafting Wilson, I think that's a fine spot for him. However, I have Wilson and Carson Wentz separated by two points in my projections and you can get Wentz at QB12 right now. Whereas, Wilson is the QB5. I'll take the value in that instance.
Louie C
1:53
Big Fan of the podcast, my question for you is: If I have Aaron Jones as a late round keeper for this year, should I rely on him as my RB2 or should I draft two high-valued RB's ahead of him in my redraft? Kind Regards
Kyle Yates
1:54
You're going to want to tune into tomorrow's podcast! We literally just finished recording and talked about this instance. I want Jones as a RB2. I think he comes with too many question marks this year to be relied on as a safe RB1.

Why do the experts keep ranking Lamar Jackson and Pat Mahomes as 3rd/4th rounders when you know that they'll both be late 1st/early 2nd in 75% of the drafts?
Kyle Yates
1:55
Rankings are not a predictor for Average Draft Position. ADP tells us where players are being selected, while Expert Consensus Rankings tell us where they should be selected. This is why both need to be used hand in hand when discussing players and why I mention them so frequently on the podcast.

Hey Kyle, in many of the mock drafts on your draft simulator I can get kenyan drake in the late second round. Is this a good pick in the real drafts?
Kyle Yates
1:56
Absolutely. I love getting Drake at that spot as my RB2 in some spots or my RB1 to pair with a top-tier WR.
Guest
1:56
I'm deciding between lamar Jackson or sequon barkley with 2and pick in ppr. Any thoughts
Kyle Yates
1:57
Unless this is a SuperFlex (Where you have the ability to start two QBs) format, Jackson shouldn't be in consideration at that spot. If it is, I'm fine with taking Lamar or Mahomes there. I want to have that competitive advantage at the position.

Hey Kyle.. with the amount of players opting out today. Could the season going ahead be in jeopardy?
Kyle Yates
2:00
The NFL simply can't afford to not have this season. They have to have football in some format. With that being said, the players are entitled to their decision to sit out this year and we have to respect that. While we might see some drop-off from a talent perspective with players sitting out and typical backups stepping in...it's still football. I'll take it. :)
Alright, everyone! Thank you so much for submitting questions. There were a ton that I wasn't able to get to, but don't worry! We've got another chat happening later on this week, so make sure to keep an eye out for that link! Take care, everyone!
