Ideally, the deeper, the better. 1QB, 3RB, 3WR, 1TE, 3W/R/T. Superflex is really up to your league, as some are very opposed and you don't want to turn leaguemates against the league.

Ronin

who to start wk1? Mack or Taylor

Mike Tagliere

1:15

Taylor.

Gary

I’ve got McCaffrey as my keeper at 1.12. If CEH drops to 2.1, do I grab him over WR5-10 or Kelce/Kittle?

Mike Tagliere

1:15

Yes, I would take CEH over those other options. CMC and CEH, whew...

John

I’m in a 16 team dynasty ppr league. Who are some rookies you would look at picks 22 & 25 in a dynasty rookie draft?

Mike Tagliere

1:16

That all depends on who's available, as rookie drafts are very different on a case to case basis. I typically love getting Quintez Cephus in the late 3rd/early 4th.

Zoidberger

1:16

What are your thoughts on Burrow being targeted as a QB2 for this season? It is in a dynasty league, so having rookies is always appealing.

Mike Tagliere

1:17

Love it. I actually have him as a high-end QB2 this year.

Zoidberger

1:17

Do you think Melvin Gordon has any chance of finishing with RB1-like numbers this year, or is in the RB3/RB2 range at best?

Mike Tagliere

1:17

I don't think Lindsay disappears and it's hard to see this offense support an RB1. Still, getting into high-end RB2 territory is very much within the range of outcomes.

Tags - love yalls podcast/articles. Keep up the good work man! 12-team (standard) 1 QB, 2 flex (rb,wr,te) (8 bench spots). Ideally been trying to take top RBs early and target value/upside at WR in mid/late rounds (Ridley, Woods, Fuller, Boyd), and TE (Hurst) & QB later in mock drafts. I did this similar last year and got Godwin in the mid rounds. I know you have to be flexible in a draft but in this type of format would you have any tips or recommendations? I had these 4 starting RBs last year and it brought home a chip (McCaffrey, A.Jones, C.Carson, M.Sanders). I love having the strong RB core and plug n play high upside WRs each week based on matchups.

Mike Tagliere

1:20

Wait, that's it? Just 2 flex? Yeah, after the top three WRs, it's pretty mix-and-match based on matchups. I'm definitely happy to snag RBs in the first few rounds, but doubt I leave the 3rd round without at least one receiver. Running backs are the ones who leave little doubt when trying to choose. WRs are much more volatile.

Marshall

1:20

Keeper league franchise building question. Who can I draft for this season that will be a potential top 20-30 player heading into 2021? Jonathan Taylor and Dobbins look promising. Anyone else? Any WR or TEs?

Mike Tagliere

1:20

Taylor 100 percent. As for WRs, I'd say Jeudy and Reagor are two of my favorites.

Will

1:20

Offered Lev Bell and Singletary for Josh Jacobs in standard. Thoughts?

Mike Tagliere

1:20

I'd rather have Jacobs.

WallyM

1:21

Hey Mike, love all that you do with Fantasy Pros. You the real MVP man. Are you okay with grabbing Calvin Ridley in the third round in a 10-team PPR league? My league mates all know their stuff. I don't think Ridley is going to be there in the fourth in a lot of competitive leagues. Thanks again.

Mike Tagliere

1:21

If you take him in the 3rd, you're deleting any potential equity, so I wouldn't reach there, especially in a 10-team league. Even in competitive leagues, Ridley lasts until late 3rd in 12-teamers.

Bock

1:21

I’ve number 2 pick in a 14 team, ppr league. Thinking of this strategy and want your thoughts. Pick Elliot round 1, then pick up Dak later in the draft? Or pick Barkley and Jones much later.

Mike Tagliere

1:22

Don't look to pair them up purposely. Jones is someone who's on my DO NOT DRAFT list because he will not be in your lineup for the first three weeks (PIT, CHI, and SF). I love Dak, but never aim to pair QB/RB duos.

FantasyNerd

1:22

Greetings Mike, how do you have Sanders, Ekeler, Chubb, and Jacobs ranked in PPR? Who do you most want as your RB 2, if you land one of the elite RBs and want to load up at RB early in your draft.

Mike Tagliere

1:23

My pure rankings are: Sanders, Chubb, Jacobs, Ekeler. I'd love to have Sanders as an RB2, but I'd be happy with any of them as my RB2. Here are my tiers: https://www.fantasypros.com/2020/08/mike-taglieres-running-back-rankin...

What are your thoughts on DK Metcalf this year?

Mike Tagliere

1:25

He's not the safest Seahawks WR, Tyler Lockett is. However... Metcalf has a legit top-10 ceiling. Him and Russell have been working together at a private field and have become "brothers" according to Wilson. Getting him as your high-end WR3 is wonderful.

1:25

How would you feel about getting Joe Mixon, Kenyan Drake, Allen Robinson, and Calvin Ridley in the first four rounds of a dynasty start up? All my league

Mike Tagliere

1:25

I'd be very excited about that start.

Go Blue

1:25

Will CEH take away enough targets from Kelce, resulting into Kittle being TE1?

Mike Tagliere

1:26

He's going to take more targets, but we can't pretend Kelce will fade into the background. He's still the most consistent TE in the game. It may be enough to make me lean Kittle over him, though.

JMTrend

Our Start-up Dynasty SF League Draft was Sunday: I took your advice on QBs and worked well. Thank you. I was able to stockpile Dak, Wilson, Rodgers, and Minshew

Mike Tagliere

1:26

WOW. My guess is that you'll be making a trade at some point this season.

Jax

1:26

In a full PPR, we start 3 WR or TEs so what tier of WRs do you put the top 6 TEs in?

Mike Tagliere

1:27

I have Kittle and Kelce around WR7/8 range, while Andrews and Ertz are around the WR20-24 range.

JMTrend

1:28

Did well in SF Dynasty Start up draft (QB's - Dak, Wilson, Rodgers, and Minshew) plus (RB's - Sanders, Fournette, Jones, Howard, McFarland) and WR's (ODB, Robinson, Metcalf, Lamb, Reagor and Lazard). Problem is I was too greedy in a few of these positions that I forgot to attend to TE. I ended with Doyle and Olsen. My question is how can I improve my TE end play and RB depth with my QB's to trade? Want to keep Dak, but would trade any of Wilson, Rodgers, or Minshew to get a top 8 TE and a Mostert level RB... I am pretty sure in this 12 man league I am one of two teams with four viable starting quality QB's. The other 10 are gnashing at the bit to trade. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you for all your work!!!!

Mike Tagliere

1:29

Fortunately, TE is the easiest position to improve without losing much in a trade. I would be talking to someone about Hayden Hurst. Here's a new version of the dynasty trade value calculator that has superflex values: https://www.fantasypros.com/2020/08/fantasy-football-rankings-dynasty-...

RB heavy

1:29

RB8 to about RB24 usually go 1/2 round - 1 1/2 rounds before ADP in my league(12 team PPR 2WR, 2RB, 1 flex) every year. What should I do to take advantage of this knowledge, especially if I get stuck with a late pick and will have to reach to get a top RB?

Mike Tagliere

1:30

Once you get outside the top-12 running backs, there are questions all the way through RB25, so don't rush. You do want one of those top-12 RBs, though. If you have one stud, then load up on 3 WRs, but land Jonathan Taylor, David Montgomery, or Le'Veon Bell in the 5th/6th, you should be happy.

Bocabob

1:30

1/2 PPR 10 team hoping to get Kamara or Cook at 6. At 15 depending on who is there Mixon, Jacobs or Helaire? Thanks

Mike Tagliere

1:31

In order: CEH, Mixon, Jacobs.

Seabass

General Advise for a 14 man draft & league? Would love to hear a discussion on this! (Your boy got the First Pick )
