If you have Aaron Jones as your RB2, you should feel amazing. If you can get one of the TEs, that'd be great, too.

12 team full PPR $300 auction 2 players kept. Keeping L Jackson at $8. Should I keep D Adams $70, Conner $10, or A Robinson $18 as my second keeper? Thanks !

Mike Tagliere

1:20

Give me Allen Robinson for $18. Sucks losing Adams, but the value is too good to pass up.

Hey Tags, I’m in a 10 team keeper league and need help rounding out my lineup. I have to choose two between Thielen, AJ Brown, Sutton, David Montgomery, and Leveon Bell. No pick sacrifice but I gave up my 1st round pick last year to get Aaron Jones (whoops). Thanks for the advice and resources you provide!

Mike Tagliere

1:21

In a keeper league, you want to keep A.J. Brown for a long time. I'd probably keep Thielen as my other one, but be prepared to throw him back next year.

Josh

Our family league is ten team and is currently ten starter spots (QB, RB,RB,WR,WR,TE,Flex,Def,K) and ten bench. Some people want to shorten the bench to increase waiver wire. But I think this places more importance on draft. Thoughts?

Mike Tagliere

1:22

That's the worst idea. The bigger the rosters, the more of a talent gap, and that's needed in a 10-team league. Otherwise, there's just too much luck involved.

Guest

Hi Tags, how are you? half PPR, I already have Tyreek, D Adams, Saquon, Kittle and R Wilson. Who should you suggest me to take? Monty or J. Taylor?

Mike Tagliere

1:22

I'm good, how are you? Geez, that roster is stacked. Give me the upside in Taylor all day.

Guest

1:23

Do you have any belief in the zero RB strategy this season?

Mike Tagliere

1:25

I've always warned people away from that strategy, as you're relying on injury luck to hit. However, if there was a year it could work, it's this one. If a running back misses 2 games due to COVID, there's a DIRECT replacement and a startable asset. If wide receivers miss time, there's no guarantee his replacement sees his targets (I'd argue there's almost a zero percent chance he does). With the likeliness that more players miss games in 2020, it could work.

Tags...In your opinion, what are the odds that the NFL will have a complete season in 2020?

Mike Tagliere

1:25

Kevin... project what you want to happen into your reality. You know what I want.

1:25

Thoughts on Robert woods?

Mike Tagliere

1:26

EXTREME value right now. I have zero clue why no one wants him until the late 5th round. If you get him there, you likely have 2-3 stud running backs and 2-3 wide receivers. That's nuts. He's a rock-solid WR2.

Sean

1:26

Hey Mike I’ve got the 9th pick in a 12 team ppr (hate this position btw) who would you take? Julio, CEH, Mixon, or Sanders? Thanks for everything you do and I love the podcast!

Mike Tagliere

1:27

I have the order CEH, Mixon, Julio, Sanders, though they're all in a similar tier. You have to understand your league. Who are you most likely to get in the 2nd round. Oddly enough, it's probably Julio, which would be a great pair to have.

Pol

1:27

mike Evans or Chris Godwin?

Mike Tagliere

1:27

Godwin.

Matt W

1:28

Mike, thanks for all you do. I have the 7 spot in a 10-man (ESPN ADP) and know I can get Henry/Sanders/Drake at the 7 and Drake/CEH/Mixon/Ekeler in second round. Thoughts on which two you would like?

Mike Tagliere

1:28

Henry and CEH would be killer. I'd also say Drake is a great backup plan.

Guest

1:28

How would you feel if Dobbins was your RB3 in dynasty this year behind CMC & Jacobs? Considering moving him + 2021 1st for Sanders but I love his long term outlook if I can piece some depth together (also have Pollard & Edmonds). Damien opting out hurt my depth a bit.

Mike Tagliere

1:29

If you're playing for a championship in 2020, I have zero issue with that. Because Sanders will give you more value this year, and he'll also increase the likelihood that you'll have a late 1st round pick.

Matt

1:29

Mike, what pick in a 10-man league (PPR) would you start considering Adams over a runningback? Thank you

Mike Tagliere

1:30

In a 10-team PPR, I'd take Adams at 7 overall.

Carter

1:30

I have pick number 5 in a half ppr 10 team league. I’m concerned about Kamaras workload and Henry’s efficiency. Is it too early to grab Michael Thomas?

Mike Tagliere

1:31

I don't have any issue with Thomas in a 10-team league, but you'll need to snag a running back in the second round, as the workhorses disappear very quick. Still, I'd probably take Kamara and then snag someone like Julio in the 2nd round.

Jok

1:31

What round should Keenan Allen be drafted?

Mike Tagliere

1:32

As much as it sucks to say, I won't own much Allen this year. He's a truly gifted player but the situation has to be accounted for. He's a 5th/6th round pick for me.

Cam

1:32

How you doing tags, great fan here. Listen, I’m having real issues deciding between Marvin Jones and Brandin Cooks at some point in my draft. I know it may have a lot to do with my risk aversion and team construction philosophy, but I’m intrigued to listen to your take looking at both of those guys in a vacuum

Mike Tagliere

1:33

Hey Cam, thanks for the love! I'm probably going to go with Jones considering the lack of offseason for Cooks to work with Watson, as well as his concussion history. I really have no issue with Cooks as a back-end WR3 with upside, but if you don't want risk, he's not your guy. Jones is safe, though his upside is limited.

Josh

1:33

Keeper question Kittle in 7th Or Sanders in 8th

Mike Tagliere

1:34

You really can't go wrong with either of them, but it's Sanders right now. I'd take him slightly before Kittle, so knowing you're getting him a round later is just a bonus. But be prepared to watch Kittle crush.

Bloedow

1:34

Who could I look to trade for in .5ppr dynasty if I give up ekeler and juju or kupp?

Mike Tagliere

1:35

That's a loaded question. Depends on your roster/needs. But if you're moving Ekeler AND one of those receivers, you should be getting a top-five player and maybe a pick. Check out this chart: https://www.fantasypros.com/2020/07/fantasy-football-rankings-dynasty-...

Bloedow

1:35

Which rookie wrs do you expect the best short term investment who is the best long term

Mike Tagliere

1:35

Long term: Jeudy, hands down. Short term: Jalen Reagor and Henry Ruggs.

Bloedow

1:36

nick Chubb or josh Jacobs half ppr

Mike Tagliere

1:36

I have Chubb slightly higher than Jacobs, but the same tier.
