@Rock Lee Maintaining a high floor and a certain level of consistency is usually more common in high-end RBs than WRs from my experience. Also, there are way more solid WRs than RBs in fantasy, so if you have a strong RB situation you're already at an advantage because that's less common
@@Lawsonwillis14 Not at all, this is a solid approach and one that I've even done myself. Lockett is definitely good enough if you're getting three high-end RBs
@@Lawsonwillis14 I agree with @Fantasy Flames but that third rb has to be of solid value.. If you're passing up on Amari Cooper or Adam Thielen for a Derrick Henry or Philip Lindsey, I'd say definitely go WR in the third! I'd rather have Cooper and Kerryon Johnson than Henry and Lockett... But hey, that's just me!
You can tell Kyle been working harder this season more than ever. That beard gets slightly grayer every video. Lol. But in all truth your hard work is super appreciated bro. Love u guys. #NeverFunCrab
Just bought the draft guide... easiest $20 I’ve ever spent. Me and my friends live and die for fantasy football. I’ve always been near the top of my league but this should only help! Thanks for all that you guys do
YESSSSSSS!! I've watched all the videos BUT this is THE ONE!!! I've won 1 championship and finished in the top 4 in last 4 seasons by drafting without a strategy. After this advice I'm feeling better about the draft! # team BigInThePants Thanks for the video!! Keep it up gentlemen!!
It depends, I'm a guy like others who loves those RBs...1-5 is Rb..middle of the 1st is best available cause those top WRs and the tier 2 Rbs is your call at the draft...but as for me I draft a QB late, cause I'm stockpiling Rbs and Wrs..but to your point I love going Rb-Rb BUT just depends on what pick you have....guys if your watching this and you are new to fantasy..please please do some mock drafts from every position...mock drafts are Vitale for information and curve balls in your drafts...
I only do auction drafts. They are by far the most fun and you can really make a great team that way. Like last year I had MaHomes, Barkley, Kamara, Woods, Boyd, Golliday, Cupp, Watkins, Bears D. I killed it!! I won my league through my draft. Thats rare.
I love auctions and I do agree that they are much better in helping you draft a team you truly want. Not a lot of people do auctions though, so it’s tough to produce a ton of content for it. I may have something up my sleeve for you all though.
@@TheFantasyHeadliners Me too.... I'd love to hear a bidding strategy!! I like to yell Yuuuuuup everytime I bid , but I think they know that means I want that guy... haha
Last year I focused more on WRs. Had Hop and Hill as my 1 and 2 and Kareem as a workhorse. After losing my championship game because I was missing my RB, I'm definitely going RB heavy early on. Keep it up with the amazing videos!
@Christopher Bronson I'm all for the players getting paid. Personally I think Bell got a dose of Karma though. He quit on his teammates when he said he wasn't going to. He had a chance to be the highest paid back in the league 2X & turned it down. I'm far from a Steeler fan but that organization owed him nothing. They stood by his suspensions, injuries and holdouts. Plus his "rap career" where one of his songs trashes Pittsburgh basically. He's good but not worth what he thought he was with his history. Now Antonio AKA Mr. Big Chest Brown.. I don't support what he did. He had 3yrs left on his contract. If you sign a contract you need to honor it.. both sides. Players that do that make it harder for other players & set a bad tone.
I'm going for the 3-peat this year in a 12 team standard league. The draft order is randomized an hour before the draft. So, I'm doing my homework now. I'll go RB RB WR if I have an early-mid first. If Hop or Adams are there, I'm fine with going with one of them then turning around and getting Damien Williams. I love RB-RB, but I have to take what the draft gives me. Thanks for all of the advice Kyle!
Awesome vid Kyle. Some serious valuable info here. I'm thinking the same way as far as RB's with my first 2 picks then get into WR's and TE. Great strategy.

I go in to our live draft with one strategy. Get the players I want! I mean, I definitely use a value system but if I know they won't be there?! I grab him.
Rey Haze You’re always going to like your team right after the draft if you’re picking your favorite players. The question becomes do you draft elite/league winning teams drafting like that?
How much should we take bye week into consideration while drafting? I usually never look at it but you never wanna get screwed over because your top two picks have the same bye week, you know? I don't want to pay attention to it but I also don't want to ignore it. What do you do?
Having a draft strategy is nice but you can’t be afraid to deviate. There is always that one guy who’s thinks AB is still a top 3 pick or that AROD and mahomes should go 12 and 13........
Great vid Kyle. I have the 4th pick in a keeper league. So it's either D.Williams at 17th rd or Conner at rd. 11. Its gonna go Saquon, Zeek, (CMC is a 2nd rd. keeper.) Kamara then me. Full point ppr?! NUK all day for me. ESPECIALLY that I have 2 decent r.b choices already!!!
I actually had pretty good luck drafting defense the past two years. Two years ago I had Jacksonville, which turned out to be my most consistent points contributor. Flukey year aside, last year I noticed that ESPN hadn't updated their defensive APR to reflect the Khalil Mack trade, and I snagged Chicago around the time when defenses started getting drafted. I'm not going to make a huge reach for a defense, but I've yet to regret drafting a defense mid-late rounds.
First, great video. You guys have a great perspective, likeable personalities, and professional production. Love it. My one gripe is your advice on OJ Howard, Evan Engram, and Hunter Henry. Everyone knows they're TE 4-7, their ADP says so. It's no secret, even in taco leagues. I think you're spot on with your valuation of Vance McDonald though. Thanks for all the great content!
Thanks for watching Sean! The main reason I bring them up is because I think you get close value from those guys to the big 3 TEs in 2019. So I would rather wait a few rounds and grab one of them than spend a top three round pick on one of the other guys.
What if you looked at what positions statistically have the greatest point difference between top and middle players and drafted those first and picked the positions with the most similar average game points between top and middle players last
@@cheenoujvang7218 the caveat to the "get your guy" advice should be "know when you can get your guy". Personally, I'm not drafting Ingram because I like other backs better and like the value of Hill much later. Ingram in the second vs his ADP which is currently 41 overall, is a reach. Plus, you're dealing with a back that's 29 years old and playing for a Ravens team with a lot of questions. Yes, his work load will be there but Lamar Jackson will also take off running...A LOT. In that same ADP range you can get you can get a Rams WR, Chris Carson or David Montgomery.
Hi Im new here, great videos and info TY TY! I was wondering if you are planning on doing a segment about IDP, would really like to see ur input on when and how to better draft for a 10p half PPR IDP league! Keep the videos coming! =)
Probably not a video on IDP because it’s not as popular as other formats. I play a lot of IDP though so I’m trying to get some stuff in the draft guide soon.
Awesome video Kyle, so glad I found you guys last year. I have a good problem, help...10 team, full ppr, I've got the third pick. My 2 keepers are Kamara and Chubb. The big "3" will be there, so do you like McCaffrey/Keenan Allen-ish or Davonte Adams/K. Allen??? McCaffrey seems no brainer, but the other way feels more balanced???
This is tough... I really dont think you can pass on CMC though... CMC, Kamara and Chubb is a crazy first 3 picks and you can still finish is off with solid WRs
Haha, I’ve actually had it for awhile and used it quite a bit towards the end of the last year. Had some technical difficulties though and we are back online!
I want to go running back heavy but I'm the last pick at 12. I'm willing to pass on kelce because i like Kittle and want to take a chance on Hockenson or Eifert...Just im picking so late I feel like ima end up going WR heavy and I don't trust WRs
12 man league keepers. I have kamara cost me an 8th rd pick next year will cost me a 6th rd pick. I also have D. Williams which would only cost me a 16th rd pick. I’m thinking this could be Brees last year would you keep Williams over kamara ? Consider the factors of this year and years beyond.
I think that you gotta go heavy wr early ,I'm not sure what mocks you have been doing but the top wrz are gone by the top half of the 3rd. Meanwhile you can get Drake,Ingram,Lindsay,Carson,etc late.
Thanks Kyle great video. I need your opinion. I have 1st pick in 10 person league full ppr. I'm going back and forth between Barkley CMac and kamara. Zeke still hasn't signed. Which do you think is going to have better season? I know its crapshoot
Drafting 10th is 12 man league and I’m thinking of having strategy rb first 3 rounds and passing up on Julio Thomas or odel and taking a duo of Connor and chubb
One of the only things I extremely disagree with is not drafting a great def/sp teams. Dude, they literally make or break playoff teams. I’d say if you get in an awkward draft spot grab the top 2 and use them in a group trade to fill a gap you missed on earlier.
The Fantasy Headliners idk what to say then. I guess I have that competitive of leagues where the talent is spread out so much that typically the people that make the playoffs have the top 3-5 scoring def/so teams. I’d say it isn’t the absolute rule, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone win in the 7+ years of doing this In over a dozen leagues where someone won with a def that gives them negative points...
To me, I want the #1 guy at each position. If I can get Legatron and the Bears defense I'm doing it. Neglecting those two positions puts you at a disadvantage. I don't want to draft bottom of the barrel guys or be weak at any position in my lineup.
The difference between that top defense and kicker isn’t nearly enough though to warrant early picks. You won’t win a league because of your D or kicker.
I hear ya and I get it. It's just that I lost too many crucial games by streaming kickers and defenses. I'm getting "set it forget it" guys and see how it goes.
I got a horrible pick this year 😭 pick 9 in ppr. Hoping Davante Adams falls and I'll probably have to go WR WR Davante then Odell or something like that and pray I can grab Chubb or kerryon in the 3rd round and Montgomery in the 5th or 6th. My league mates r super unpredictable thought as alot don't rly follow football or prepare all that much before. Any suggestions on what my early round strategy should be? I feel like I could easily grab mid round WRs that were no-names last year like a Christian Kirk, Dante Pettis or Chris Godwin so I want to go RB early but it seems like that'll be impossible.
This year in my 12 team ppr, if I draft 8th or later I might end up drafting 4 WR in the first 4 rounds. I can see ending up with 4 top 10 starting every week. Then I just draft 8 running backs with high potential.
That’s a tough strategy to carry out and rely on late round RBs. You really have to hope for some type of injury to get the type of production necessary.
@@TheFantasyHeadliners I agree it is a tough strategy. I wouldn't force it, but if everyone is forcing the running backs I might zig when they zag. You can end up with Michael Thomas, Juju, AJ Green, and Brandon Cooks (or perhaps Tyreek Hill). It works in full point ppr with 3 wr and a flex. I wouldn't do it in standard. I did this once a few years back, and made it to the playoffs before crazy injuries took me out. There is something satisfying about trotting out four stud receivers every week.
In a 2 keeper league. I'm keeping 2 backs. 1st pick. DJ, Gordon (depending on his situation)and Bell will be draftable. Thomas and Julio will be there as well. I def want a top tier wr1 but it's tough passing on top 5-8 players. Have to go wr, right?
I wouldn't waste a second round pick on ANY QB...wait till the 5th and as long as your league is experienced you should be good. I wait till 7th round for qb, then pick the best and take a shot on like a lamar jackson or kyler murey in later rounds
I'm in a 2qb league 2rb 3wr flex te ... I think the best thing to do is take qbs late... I just got the 6th pick so I'm guaranteed one of the top 5 rbs... bcuz i know for sure my qb happy league will pick at least 1 if not 2 or 3 qbs before my 6th pick. I'm going qbs late
Where would you take Pat Mahomes because he seems to be a big question with many possibly considering taking him in 1st round, when would be the best value for him?
I have started doing heavy WR early over the past few seasons too much success. PPR league of course. Keeper as well and what allows me to do this is I've had David Johnson since 2016 off waivers in 15 I get him in the 7th this year as each year you keep the same guy they go up the respective years you have kept him. 4th year keeping him got him in the 11th last year so up 4 spots. I love the RB early strat this year but I'm just not seeing the value that many are talking about with mid-round WR's. Been getting QB TE in rounds 9 through 12 DST Kicker last of course (have to fill all roster spots.) Guess my point is while RB early is a viable strat it's not the only one and while my position is unique I just see so much more value and safety in the mid rnd RB's then mid rnd WR's. WR's in that area of the draft is much more of a question mark than the RB's that you can get in those same spots. I see much more value in guys like A jones, Ingram, Carson, White, Montgomery, Mack, Henry, Jacobs, Freeman, Murray, than Godwin, Golladay, Cupp, DJ Moore, Jeffery, Ridley, Robinson, Anderson, Pettis, Davis, Sheperd etc. Will be going WR early and often this year again. I want to see the value in the WR's in the mid-rounds but I just can't seem to see it. Much love, sorry for the book and best of luck love the channel gents keep it up.
@@kramegame8442 Nice, not a bad start at all not a fan of TE early but in a 12 team league and TE being so thin I can understand the reasoning. in rounds 5 6 7 you still have so many options at RB White, Ingram, Miller, Murray, Montgomery, Carson, etc Whereas the WR in that range are really meh IMO, WR 20 through 40 I can pick 2 names that I would be high on and that's about it lol. Good luck this year hope that move pays off for you!
The Fantasy Headliners you got at least 100 views right here guaranteed lol !! All we need is one !!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks for everything you do ( ps I’m doin my first dynasty league this year )
Hey guys! Great work, as usual. But I have a question: If I buy your rankings, how is that gonna look like? Is it an excel sheet and how do I get notified If something changes until the start of the season as well as during the season?
It’s all in PDF or online. You’ll get a link to drop box and have access to log in through the website. Whenever an update happens, you will get an email notification.
g p ... me too...in ppr of course...its just too hard to pick a question mark like Damien Williams, over a Mike Evans ..or a Chubb , who might be less involved playoff time, over a JuJu...or even Bell over Adams...
Kyle!! Hope things are good with you man. Early draft pick question... OBJ or Kelce with the 2.04 pick? I got D. Hop with the 1.09. Should I consider a top RB at that spot? Suggestions? Also, do you feel Cooks is a steal 4.04? After D. Hop, OBJ, and Mack?
I have pick 8 in my PPR league. I intend to land one of Adams/Hopkins/Julio and follow with another receiver. Juju/kelce in the 2nd. It’s contradictory to your advice, but those second tier of RBs don’t wow me. Scared of several of them. What do you think?
I’d rather take a chance on guys like Kerryon, Aaron Jones if he falls, Devonta Freeman as my RB 1 with two stud WR1s. James White and Kenyan drake as PPR RB2s
I just couldn't pass on RBs that early.... I could maybe go 1WR and 1RB but that's it... Players breakout every year that paper didn't like the year before... Just gotta be ahead of the curve
Great vid k-rich 👍🏻 so full PPR I have McCaffrey as my keeper 2nd rd. I have the 4th overall pick. The players available are Bell, DJ, Connor, Dhop, Julio, m Thomas, d cook, Gordon 😳😬🤔 what order or priority would you pick these guys in
The Fantasy Headliners WOW! Thanks man 👍🏻 you and Jake reply to all our comments and that’s truly amazing to me considering I watch and ask for advice on almost all the fantasy channels and never get questions answered so thank you so much. Hopefully if I get DJ I still have some good WR options 🤞🏻
I absolutely love the content. Another good video. Can anyone critique what I drafted last night. The only to get better is with honest criticism. Players are listed in order of draft. Pick 6, ppr 10 team. Johnson, Thomas-n.o., dalvin, diggs, golladay, Ridley, jeffery, C. Kirk, Murray -n.o., njoku, Fitz, cousins, Harris rb-n.e, Smith n.o, eagles and tavecchio. Thanks
overall I like this team a lot, the only thing i really don't like is having three vikings player in your starting lineup. if they struggle to score one week its going to limit your teams potential that week and probably cause you to lose
Hey Anthony! I have to agree with Anthony. I like it but i also worry about having to depend on so many Vikings on a weekly basis. Otherwise.. A solid team!
I’m in a 14 team .5 point ppr. If I end up with pick 10-14 I think I am going to go Kelce in round 1 and rb in round 2. I think having Kelce in a 14 team league will be a huge positional advantage most weeks. What are your thoughts?
So, I'm in a 7th owner league. Picking 6th. You rather go davante and Julio back to back if the first four RB are picked and DJ also, and then go heavy RB with fournette, davonta Freeman, and Derrick?
If top 5 rb's are gone then you should grab Adams or Hopkins for sure, and then a solid RB in the early second is probably what i'd do. Alternatively you could grab Gordon probably at 6 to. Depends how you feel about it. I think they sign/trade him before the season and hes good to go, and hes a stud when hes healthy and playing.
My league- QB, 2wr, 1rb, 1te, 1flex (rb, wr, or te) def and k. 12 team League. Ppr/ pick #4. We do our draft through league texts. We just started. Took cmc at #4. Rd 2 pick on me. Players available wr evans tb, hilton indy, theilan and diggs wr. Rb chubb, mixon, cook, te ertz and kittle. Thinking oftaking evans and 3rd rd not sure. Thoughts on taking kittle. Thanks
RB early and often is the way to go, securing those workhorse backs is what sets teams apart.
Yep!
@Rock Lee Maintaining a high floor and a certain level of consistency is usually more common in high-end RBs than WRs from my experience. Also, there are way more solid WRs than RBs in fantasy, so if you have a strong RB situation you're already at an advantage because that's less common

Ingram in the second vs his ADP which is currently 41 overall, is a reach. Plus, you're dealing with a back that's 29 years old and playing for a Ravens team with a lot of questions. Yes, his work load will be there but Lamar Jackson will also take off running...A LOT.
In that same ADP range you can get you can get a Rams WR, Chris Carson or David Montgomery.
Getting better at your intros Kyle! Would love to draft against you guys!!!!
Thanks Ryan! Make sure you sign up for DRAFT and use our promo code because we are drafting there every week and you can join in.
great video, wish I had done this before my draft because I did none of this.
Outstanding video with great advice. How about some more player comparison vids?
hi man i ned your help
i have a daft in 30 mins
Great info thanks👍
Seriously considering buying that draft package
I guarantee you won’t be disappointed Paul. So much information.
How do you feel about taking Kelce as my third pick if I take two RBs first and second picks. 6 team ppr. 6 team league kinda changes things
Very helpful video Kyle !!!!
Thx Jason!
So excited to dominate my league this season
You dang right!
Great info. Keep these great videos coming 👌
Thank you!
Great video Kyle! Request :can you guys touch on auction draft strategy/values at some point? Thanks
We will try to at some point, yes.
@@TheFantasyHeadliners thanks! Keep up the great content!
Hi Im new here, great videos and info TY TY!
I was wondering if you are planning on doing a segment about IDP, would really like to see ur input on when and how to better draft for a 10p half PPR IDP league! Keep the videos coming! =)
Probably not a video on IDP because it’s not as popular as other formats. I play a lot of IDP though so I’m trying to get some stuff in the draft guide soon.
Awesome video Kyle, so glad I found you guys last year. I have a good problem, help...10 team, full ppr, I've got the third pick. My 2 keepers are Kamara and Chubb. The big "3" will be there, so do you like McCaffrey/Keenan Allen-ish or Davonte Adams/K. Allen??? McCaffrey seems no brainer, but the other way feels more balanced???
This is tough... I really dont think you can pass on CMC though... CMC, Kamara and Chubb is a crazy first 3 picks and you can still finish is off with solid WRs
I agree. Although, I think if Barkley falls there, then I may go wide receiver
Woah.. Kyle.. New camera????? Dude, ur gorgeous. Lol. 🤣🤣
No but good stuff man!! Glad u stepped up the cam quality 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Haha, I’ve actually had it for awhile and used it quite a bit towards the end of the last year. Had some technical difficulties though and we are back online!
@@TheFantasyHeadliners lookin great mann 👌👌
Oh yeah, so does the camera quality. Lol
Skeptik MC gay?
@@walkerowens maybe... Problem?
Skeptik MC maybe..........problem?
I want to go running back heavy but I'm the last pick at 12. I'm willing to pass on kelce because i like Kittle and want to take a chance on Hockenson or Eifert...Just im picking so late I feel like ima end up going WR heavy and I don't trust WRs
Chubb, Cook could be sweet right there unless a Top WR falls
Same here I pick 12. I'm going Dalvin Cook, WR, WR, WR, RB. Who should I target as RB 2?
Yupp. I always go RB’s first two rounds
Love my RB's!
Great advice Kyle cheers man.
Thanks for watching!
12 man league keepers.
I have kamara cost me an 8th rd pick next year will cost me a 6th rd pick.
I also have D. Williams which would only cost me a 16th rd pick. I’m thinking this could be Brees last year would you keep Williams over kamara ? Consider the factors of this year and years beyond.
Kamara is a proven commodity plus, you're getting a top 5 RB for an 8th rounder. Don't worry about next year. Win this year.
Hell ya! Keep Kamara .... always play for this year !!!
WHEN ARE WE GONNA SEE A KYLE VS. JAKE HEAD TO HEAD MOCK DRAFT?
We are working on it!
I think that you gotta go heavy wr early ,I'm not sure what mocks you have been doing but the top wrz are gone by the top half of the 3rd. Meanwhile you can get Drake,Ingram,Lindsay,Carson,etc late.
You can get Diggs, Cooks, AJG, Hilton, Woods at the end of the third beginning of the fourth. Check that ADP.
@@TheFantasyHeadliners Really? Those guys are gone in the 12 team mocks that I've done by the top of the 3rd except Woods.
Kyle well done you're on point!!
Thank you!
Thanks Kyle great video. I need your opinion. I have 1st pick in 10 person league full ppr. I'm going back and forth between Barkley CMac and kamara. Zeke still hasn't signed. Which do you think is going to have better season? I know its crapshoot
Drafting 10th is 12 man league and I’m thinking of having strategy rb first 3 rounds and passing up on Julio Thomas or odel and taking a duo of Connor and chubb
i dont hate it... Julio and Chubb would be nice also
Good video whats your take on the new Melvin gordon situation I already have ekeler in a dynasty League
I love the draft guide just was curious to see why you guys didnt talk about defenses??
We did defensive rankings but we may have an update soon with some IDP stuff as well.
@@TheFantasyHeadliners ok what section is defensive rankings cause I didnt see it?
They are ranked 1-32 under the match up meter section
great video Kyle
Thx Ellie!
The content is always good, but the past couple of intros have been funny.
Thank you!
Congratz on 33k
Thank you!
One of the only things I extremely disagree with is not drafting a great def/sp teams. Dude, they literally make or break playoff teams. I’d say if you get in an awkward draft spot grab the top 2 and use them in a group trade to fill a gap you missed on earlier.
I have to admit, I’ve never seen a D/ST be the deciding factor for anyone in a season. I would be shocked.
The Fantasy Headliners idk what to say then. I guess I have that competitive of leagues where the talent is spread out so much that typically the people that make the playoffs have the top 3-5 scoring def/so teams. I’d say it isn’t the absolute rule, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone win in the 7+ years of doing this In over a dozen leagues where someone won with a def that gives them negative points...
To me, I want the #1 guy at each position. If I can get Legatron and the Bears defense I'm doing it. Neglecting those two positions puts you at a disadvantage. I don't want to draft bottom of the barrel guys or be weak at any position in my lineup.
The difference between that top defense and kicker isn’t nearly enough though to warrant early picks. You won’t win a league because of your D or kicker.
I hear ya and I get it. It's just that I lost too many crucial games by streaming kickers and defenses. I'm getting "set it forget it" guys and see how it goes.
I got a horrible pick this year 😭 pick 9 in ppr. Hoping Davante Adams falls and I'll probably have to go WR WR Davante then Odell or something like that and pray I can grab Chubb or kerryon in the 3rd round and Montgomery in the 5th or 6th. My league mates r super unpredictable thought as alot don't rly follow football or prepare all that much before. Any suggestions on what my early round strategy should be? I feel like I could easily grab mid round WRs that were no-names last year like a Christian Kirk, Dante Pettis or Chris Godwin so I want to go RB early but it seems like that'll be impossible.
This year in my 12 team ppr, if I draft 8th or later I might end up drafting 4 WR in the first 4 rounds.
I can see ending up with 4 top 10 starting every week. Then I just draft 8 running backs with high potential.
That’s a tough strategy to carry out and rely on late round RBs. You really have to hope for some type of injury to get the type of production necessary.
@@TheFantasyHeadliners I agree it is a tough strategy. I wouldn't force it, but if everyone is forcing the running backs I might zig when they zag.
You can end up with Michael Thomas, Juju, AJ Green, and Brandon Cooks (or perhaps Tyreek Hill).
It works in full point ppr with 3 wr and a flex. I wouldn't do it in standard.
I did this once a few years back, and made it to the playoffs before crazy injuries took me out. There is something satisfying about trotting out four stud receivers every week.
In a 2 keeper league. I'm keeping 2 backs. 1st pick. DJ, Gordon (depending on his situation)and Bell will be draftable. Thomas and Julio will be there as well. I def want a top tier wr1 but it's tough passing on top 5-8 players. Have to go wr, right?
My next options as wr1 would be cooks,golladay, woods.....yeah
Great info. Question what do you think about stacking Adams and Rogers taking them in round 1 and 2? Keep it rolling.🍺🏈
I wouldn't waste a second round pick on ANY QB...wait till the 5th and as long as your league is experienced you should be good. I wait till 7th round for qb, then pick the best and take a shot on like a lamar jackson or kyler murey in later rounds
I get having the stack, but I’m not drafting a QB in the second round
I'm in a 2qb league 2rb 3wr flex te ... I think the best thing to do is take qbs late... I just got the 6th pick so I'm guaranteed one of the top 5 rbs... bcuz i know for sure my qb happy league will pick at least 1 if not 2 or 3 qbs before my 6th pick. I'm going qbs late
Plug n play the qbs.. stack rb and wr talent... in the 2qb league..
All solid advice! Keep it up
Thanks!
Where would you take Pat Mahomes because he seems to be a big question with many possibly considering taking him in 1st round, when would be the best value for him?
I dont think he lasts past the 3rd round - Personally i dont like drafting QB's until the 7th round at the earliest though
I have started doing heavy WR early over the past few seasons too much success. PPR league of course. Keeper as well and what allows me to do this is I've had David Johnson since 2016 off waivers in 15 I get him in the 7th this year as each year you keep the same guy they go up the respective years you have kept him. 4th year keeping him got him in the 11th last year so up 4 spots. I love the RB early strat this year but I'm just not seeing the value that many are talking about with mid-round WR's. Been getting QB TE in rounds 9 through 12 DST Kicker last of course (have to fill all roster spots.) Guess my point is while RB early is a viable strat it's not the only one and while my position is unique I just see so much more value and safety in the mid rnd RB's then mid rnd WR's. WR's in that area of the draft is much more of a question mark than the RB's that you can get in those same spots. I see much more value in guys like A jones, Ingram, Carson, White, Montgomery, Mack, Henry, Jacobs, Freeman, Murray, than Godwin, Golladay, Cupp, DJ Moore, Jeffery, Ridley, Robinson, Anderson, Pettis, Davis, Sheperd etc. Will be going WR early and often this year again. I want to see the value in the WR's in the mid-rounds but I just can't seem to see it. Much love, sorry for the book and best of luck love the channel gents keep it up.
ExistenceGhost in a 12 man .5 PPR @ pick 11, with my first four picks I took
1.Hopkins
2.Hill
3.Ertz
4.D.Henry
@@kramegame8442 Nice, not a bad start at all not a fan of TE early but in a 12 team league and TE being so thin I can understand the reasoning. in rounds 5 6 7 you still have so many options at RB White, Ingram, Miller, Murray, Montgomery, Carson, etc Whereas the WR in that range are really meh IMO, WR 20 through 40 I can pick 2 names that I would be high on and that's about it lol. Good luck this year hope that move pays off for you!
Kyle can you do a dynasty league only full break down for us 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would love to.... But no one ever watches dynasty stuff!
The Fantasy Headliners you got at least 100 views right here guaranteed lol !! All we need is one !!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks for everything you do ( ps I’m doin my first dynasty league this year )
Hey guys! Great work, as usual. But I have a question:
If I buy your rankings, how is that gonna look like? Is it an excel sheet and how do I get notified If something changes until the start of the season as well as during the season?
It’s all in PDF or online. You’ll get a link to drop box and have access to log in through the website. Whenever an update happens, you will get an email notification.
Ok sounds great :) and you provide rankings for all formats I think!?
Great video Kyle!
Thx Jaiden!
Football is so close!
Almost that time!
Kyle , Your Beard Looks Nice Today ! Hair amazing as always !!!
Thx Vik!
Good stuff Kyle!!!
Thank you!
Definitely subbed, I’m seriously considering a 0 WR strategy
g p ... me too...in ppr of course...its just too hard to pick a question mark like Damien Williams, over a Mike Evans ..or a Chubb , who might be less involved playoff time, over a JuJu...or even Bell over Adams...
g p ... ha, i misread ur post , i thought u wrote, zero RB.. ha, my error...
Welcome to #HeadlinerNation!
How long does it take to get the draft guide I ordered it around the 4th of July , thanks looking forward to seeing it .
Hey Kevin, shoot us an email with you information. It’s immediate so you should have already received it.
Kyle!! Hope things are good with you man. Early draft pick question... OBJ or Kelce with the 2.04 pick? I got D. Hop with the 1.09. Should I consider a top RB at that spot? Suggestions? Also, do you feel Cooks is a steal 4.04? After D. Hop, OBJ, and Mack?
12 team league btw
Cooks is an absolute steal! I know people love Kelce, but give me OBJ in round 2 and Engram or Howard later
another big time show KYLE .
Thanks Jerry!
If I picked a wide receiver in the first round would you say Dalvin cook is a RB1
I have pick 8 in my PPR league. I intend to land one of Adams/Hopkins/Julio and follow with another receiver. Juju/kelce in the 2nd. It’s contradictory to your advice, but those second tier of RBs don’t wow me. Scared of several of them. What do you think?
I’d rather take a chance on guys like Kerryon, Aaron Jones if he falls, Devonta Freeman as my RB 1 with two stud WR1s. James White and Kenyan drake as PPR RB2s
I just couldn't pass on RBs that early.... I could maybe go 1WR and 1RB but that's it... Players breakout every year that paper didn't like the year before... Just gotta be ahead of the curve
Great vid k-rich 👍🏻 so full PPR I have McCaffrey as my keeper 2nd rd. I have the 4th overall pick. The players available are Bell, DJ, Connor, Dhop, Julio, m Thomas, d cook, Gordon 😳😬🤔 what order or priority would you pick these guys in
WOW, tons of options.... Personally i go DJ and then focus on WR a couple rounds
The Fantasy Headliners WOW! Thanks man 👍🏻 you and Jake reply to all our comments and that’s truly amazing to me considering I watch and ask for advice on almost all the fantasy channels and never get questions answered so thank you so much. Hopefully if I get DJ I still have some good WR options 🤞🏻
Its really what we do to try and grow this community - we know we will miss some from time to time but we do our best!
Btw I’m so glad you got Jake with Amari pooper 😂 jake cracks me up he’s freaking hilarious. You guys are very entertaining and knowledgeable
I absolutely love the content. Another good video.
Can anyone critique what I drafted last night. The only to get better is with honest criticism. Players are listed in order of draft. Pick 6, ppr 10 team. Johnson, Thomas-n.o., dalvin, diggs, golladay, Ridley, jeffery, C. Kirk, Murray -n.o., njoku, Fitz, cousins, Harris rb-n.e, Smith n.o, eagles and tavecchio. Thanks
overall I like this team a lot, the only thing i really don't like is having three vikings player in your starting lineup. if they struggle to score one week its going to limit your teams potential that week and probably cause you to lose
Hey Anthony! I have to agree with Anthony. I like it but i also worry about having to depend on so many Vikings on a weekly basis. Otherwise.. A solid team!
I’m in a 14 team .5 point ppr. If I end up with pick 10-14 I think I am going to go Kelce in round 1 and rb in round 2. I think having Kelce in a 14 team league will be a huge positional advantage most weeks. What are your thoughts?
I don’t run with the early TE strategy, because I believe guys like Henry, Engram and Howard will be much closer this year than they were last year.
I’m in a keeper league so what’s the best advice going into the draft. The best players I had last year that I’m keeping is CMC and fournette.
Just have to keep the values... Keep the safest options you have
So, I'm in a 7th owner league. Picking 6th. You rather go davante and Julio back to back if the first four RB are picked and DJ also, and then go heavy RB with fournette, davonta Freeman, and Derrick?
If top 5 rb's are gone then you should grab Adams or Hopkins for sure, and then a solid RB in the early second is probably what i'd do. Alternatively you could grab Gordon probably at 6 to. Depends how you feel about it. I think they sign/trade him before the season and hes good to go, and hes a stud when hes healthy and playing.
In a smaller league like that i go with the stud WR's back to back and then focus on RB for sure - If the big 4 are gone that is
My league- QB, 2wr, 1rb, 1te, 1flex (rb, wr, or te) def and k. 12 team League. Ppr/ pick #4. We do our draft through league texts. We just started. Took cmc at #4. Rd 2 pick on me. Players available wr evans tb, hilton indy, theilan and diggs wr. Rb chubb, mixon, cook, te ertz and kittle. Thinking oftaking evans and 3rd rd not sure. Thoughts on taking kittle. Thanks
