    Trade offer

    If you're playing for first, the Bengals stack makes sense to me, if you're trying to not get last, diversifying is probably the way to go. If it's any type of keeper league or dynasty, I'm keeping Chase. The Bengals stack could carry you to a championship, but you have to be willing to go down with the ship. I personally think I'd play the waivers for a QB until Burrow figures it out, so you aren't getting burned by both positions right now, but I'm keeping that stack. It's not bad value, I wouldn't fault anyone for taking it, and going from Chase to Diggs isn't giving up on Chase, but it's giving up on one of the rare stacks that could carry you down the stretch.

    FAAB

    30-40% usually but it varies based on team need and time of the year.

    Tight Ends

    You're pretty much just adding two guys to the WR 1/2 range and 10 guys to the WR3/4 range. TE and QB are the two positions that add high levels of variance and make draft strategy important.

    The "Fantasy Experts" Were Wrong Again

    With the ease that information is now found and amount of fantasy related sites, there is no real difference in knowledge between one avid hobbyists and a "pro." Pros just consolidate the information and form a public opinion. I listen to the footballers podcast because they do a great job of presenting information in an entertaining way, but I don't think they have special opinions or insights that can't be found on other sites or this board. They loved Edmonds and the arguments they made regarding the money, opportunity and usage should be there, and his draft price was low, so I bought in. The same methodology and thinking lead me to Christian Kirk and that's worked out fine so far. They were also about as low as anyone on Barkley this year due to his past two years. I read some other articles that made strong arguments for Barkley's ACL being what lead to his injuries and poor year last year. Those articles made sense so I took him. You win some and lose some, but I don't think there's a person with incredibly special insight, let alone perfect.

    Quarterback Rankings

    The biggest change for Tlaw is that he now appears to have a competent coaching staff going into year 2. He's mobile which is always a good start, it's just a matter if they can move the ball consistently. Top 5 might be a stretch, but I'll buy into the idea that this will be the year he becomes relevant for fantasy. I haven't dug into their route tree's but Kirk is 5'11 and Chark is 6'4, something tells me they're going to be used differently. That debate seems moot to me.

    Cut Down Day - For Whom the Bell Tolls

    Achilles tears remain undefeated in taking down RBs careers. Robinson and Akers next up on the list.

    Cut Down Day - For Whom the Bell Tolls

    Read it was somewhere in neighborhood of $25M in dead cap if they do that.

    Ravens Sign Kenyan Drake

    I was all ready for the 2nd year in a row of the Mike Davis week 1 hype train.

    Quarterback Rankings

    After Lance, they're all just streaming options to me. Prescott losing his LT is big, while also having limited receiving options is a potential problem. Stafford's elbow having problems in preseason is really worrisome to me. I don't think is getting enough attention for those taking Kupp and Robinson.

    Cut Down Day - For Whom the Bell Tolls

    Watching to see what Arizona does in their backfield. Williams is rumored to be the odd man out, which would likely solidify the hype Benjamin has received this camp as the true #2 on the team. Which could be a valuable role given Conner's injury history, and may even lead to some weekly relevance if they try to limit Conner's touches.

    Desperate for WR advice in my draft, risk it or play it safe

    Ben couldn't throw the ball 5 yards down field, which pretty made Johnson and Harris his only targets.

    Who you focusing on?

    QBs Hurts will probably be as consistent as a mid round QB gets. If i happen to go QB mid rounds he's one I'll take before many of them. Usually I'll wait and see if someone falls with Cousins being an undervalued safety net for me. If I end up with Cousins, a lot of times I'll try to take T-Law as well to see if he can emerge as a top end option. That's the only time I'll draft 2 QBs. RBs I like for the price. AJ Dillon is being drafted what I think is close to his floor, but his ceiling is RB1 if Jones goes down. Also Edmonds, Pierce, Walker, Stevenson and Hunt are good values for flex and RB depth options. Long shots I like Eno Benjamin with Williams likely being cut, White of Tampa as their RB2 and Boston Scott in philly, everyone seems to be on Gainwell despite Scott getting the bulk of the work so far. WRs I prefer waiting on WR for the most part since after the first handful it's an inconsistent group with not a ton of separation and relavetly easy to find spot start options week to week. Kirk is probably undervalued given how many targets I think he'll have. Olave had a nose for the endzone in college, and should be the deep threat for a QB in Winston who has never been afraid to take a shot down field. MVS might be the only Chief I'll take a shot on. Schuster is having knee problems already, and MVS fits that deep threat they use. Not sure if any Chief WR will be reliable week to week, but I like the potential reward for a late round pick. I think another WR emerges in Indy. Not sure if it'll be Campbell or Pierce but they might be worth a last round pick to find out in week 1. If Thielen takes a step back, Osborn could emerge as a viable option this year. TE Tonyan is practicing and could walk into a prominent target share and a primary red zone target for Rodgers earlier than most thought. I usually wait on TE grab him and a flier on Kmet or Njoku.

    Ideal Draft Position

    It'd be hard to pass up on JT in 10 team league. In that size league you get the closest thing to a safe RB, while still being able to land a legit WR1 and then do what everyone else has to do and roll the dice on one of the aging vets or young upside RBs.

    2022 - the year of Geriatric RBs

    It's been a weak few years for RBs coming out of college, which I think has caused some older injury prone RBs to remain relevant. I think that's going to change in the next two years with a few guys that look like dynamic college rushers. In standard scoring leagues, I plan to stock pile RBs at the draft to help absorb injuries. WRs are a dime a dozen after the first handful in this format anyways.
