Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by for another live chat! I'll get to as many questions as I can for the next hour or so, but if I don't get to yours, follow me on Twitter @MikeTagliereNFL where I'll answer some more questions later.

I love your page and credit much of the advice to helping me win 2 of my 3 leagues last year. One as a defending champ from the previous season. Everyone is entirely TOO LOW on James Conner. I (somewhat) understand the injury apprehension. Steelers had a revolving door at QB, most who would struggle to make JV in 2020. Defenses need to respect Big Ben, Juju's return to the slot stretches the defense. With the line still mostly intact, HOT TAKE, Conner has a top 5 finish in ppr format at his position. He looks like an Adonis on IG. He's only had two injuries that required him to miss NFL games, shoulder and quad strain in 19. Neither injury typically lingers. Meanwhile Saquon has had the same lingering ankle issues since college, but no mention of his "injury prone" apprehension in drafts? I know this is long winded, but in acknowledgement of all that, why is he being listed ADP next to guys like Mostert and Singletary? Both of whom were blackballed to avoid at all costs in a most recent articles?

I actually talked about Conner on today's podcast as a potential sleeping giant. In fact, the Steelers offense as a whole is undervalued if Ben can return to 90 percent of the player he was. THere's certainly injury risk with Conner, but around the RB20-24 range, he's well worth the risk. If he were guaranteed to play 16 games, I'd draft him as a top-12 RB.

Hi Mike thanks for doing this, love listening to your podcast! I play in a 14 team standard keeper league and I'll already be keeping George Kittle. With my 9th pick I can probably draft DeAndre Hopkins, Travis Kelce, or Mike Evans. I'm fairly set at RB, so I'm wondering if I should draft a WR or Kelce (to play in my FLEX) to keep him away from the rest of the league.
Mike Tagliere
2:03
I really wouldnt worry about the rest of the league, and even though you have Kittle, I think Kelce is the best pick of the bunch. Are you able to trade draft picks? If you don't want to have two tight ends or can't trade, Hopkins would be my choice.

Hey Tags, when I look at ECR and ADP it looks like Tyler Boyd is undervalued. Of course he will have fewer targets in 2020 but with Burrow a QB upgrade under Center and thus an improvement in the quality of the targets. What is your assessment?
Mike Tagliere
2:04
Tyler Boyd is someone I'm very comfortable with as a WR3 with upside for more. If AJ Green were to miss any time, I believe Boyd would be an every-week high-end WR2.

Thx for your time. *DYNASTY* Can you see Philadelphia really adding a veteran back after Boston Scott looked so good last year? Or do you think Michael Warren (Cincinnati) & Corey Clement will be able to fill the void? Scott feels like the next Darren Sproles. Stay safe.
Mike Tagliere
2:05
I definitely can see them adding someone like Devonta Freeman, but the more time goes on, the better you have to feel about Sanders/Scott. Clearly, it's not a huge priority for them.
Winston
2:06
Thx for your time. *DYNASTY* I can't realistically see The Lions giving up on Kerryon for Swift. Can you? And why? Their o-line is putrid. Stay safe.
Mike Tagliere
2:08
Sadly, they kind of did when they drafted Swift at the top of the second round with many other needs on the team. The line is actually a solid unit that should come around. Johnson will still have a role, but it'll likely be somewhere around 8-12 touches per game.

Hey Mike, long time fan. What are your thoughts/predictions for the Dalvin Cook situation? In my dynasty league, I'm competitive this year, and I'm trying to decide if the upside of holding Mattison is better than extracting some strong value now by trading him to the Cook owner. Would love to get your thoughts. Thanks!
Mike Tagliere
2:09
Yes, I would trade Mattison and capitalize on the contract situation. Cook has zero leverage right now, as he'd lose a year of eligibility. To running backs, that's a death sentence.

1/2 point PPR .  AJ Brown, Ridley or Woods? Thanks
Mike Tagliere
2:11
Ridley is my No. 1 of them, while Woods is the safer No. 2, with Brown offering more upside than Woods. Most people don't realize that Woods has never scored more than 6 touchdowns.
Ryan
2:12
Keeper question... Ridley for a 7th or Godwin for a 4th?
Mike Tagliere
2:12
Man, that's tough... I think I'd go Ridley but that's almost even for me.
Chris L
2:13
*Sorry sent before finished*   Keep 2, .5ppr 6pt TD's         Curtis Samuel 6th round, Aaron Jones 8th round, Kenny Golladay 10th round, Lamar Jackson 11th round.  Enjoy your work thank you!
Mike Tagliere
2:14
Samuel is someone who shouldn't even be considered. I'd probably lean Jones and Golladay with QB being so replaceable.
Joe
2:14
What offenses are you staying away from??
Mike Tagliere
2:14
Jets, Patriots, Chargers
Joe
2:14
10 team .5ppr, is Kamara Drake CEH a good start or would you rather start Kamara Drake Odell?
Mike Tagliere
2:15
LOVE both of those starts, but give me the Odell team. More balanced.
Ryan
2:15
I'm in an 8 team league full ppr, if Julio and drake are both their at the beginning of the second, who do I take
Mike Tagliere
2:15
Probably Julio in an 8-team.
Joe
2:15
CEH a league winner?
Mike Tagliere
2:16
Very well could be, but have to wait until the 3rd round to take him. A bit too much risk in the 2nd round.
Guest
2:16
in a full ppr 12 team league, pick 1.01, is it crazy to go CMC-Kelce-Lamar?
Mike Tagliere
2:16
Not crazy at all. Receiver is as deep as ever.
Guest
2:16
Who will be the best rookie WR in the class (this year, 3 years, career)?
Mike Tagliere
2:17
This year, in fantasy... Probably Ruggs. In 3 years, Jeudy.
Guest
2:17
In dynasty, what are you doing with Deebo Samuel? Does his injury and other athletes ability to recover from it concern you?
Mike Tagliere
2:17
It's a concern in 2020, not beyond that. If you're in-it-to-win-it this year, you may want to try and sell. If not, hold.
Eric McKibben
2:18
Would you trade the third overall pick in a dynasty draft for Ekeler or Fournette? My WRs: Diggs, K. Allen, Metcalf, and Kirk. RBs: Mixon, Gurley, Cohen, and Guice.
Mike Tagliere
2:19
Nah, I'd stay put and take Jeudy at No. 3 unless CEH or Taylor is there.
Paul
2:19
Hey tags. It looks like you have Derrick Henry ranked much higher (standard scoring) than it sounded like you would on the podcast. What is your actual take on him in non-ppr formats this year?
Mike Tagliere
2:21
Yeah, my rankings are now adjusted for my projections. He came in higher than I expected he would. In standard, I'd take him over Mixon and Drake, but not in PPR formats.
305Allan
2:21
Can Devante Parker repeat his success from last year? Can you see a top15 WR out of him?
Mike Tagliere
2:22
I don't think he's a top-15 receiver this year with Preston Williams back, a new offense installed, better run game, and potentially a rookie quarterback taking over at some point.
KingPachacuti

In a 20 rd bestball ball draft that your lineup consists of qb,rb,rb,wr,wr,wr,te,flex(no qb),dst .. how many dst's would you draft and in which round would you target them?
