Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted August 25, 2022 Every draft you probably go into it with guys you think could be had later in the draft that might help win a league if need be. Who are guys you are focusing on that you might fit that bill as good guys to grab late in a draft- or even at a spot- if they provide good value. QB- Trevor Lawrence for me. They gave him talent and a better coach and offensive control team and he should be able to take a step forward. If he can take a massive one he could leap into being a top 10 quarterback in fantasy.....Honorable mention: Justin Fields RB- AJ Dillon. I don't want Aaron Jones but if I can grab his handcuff late in the draft I am doing it because I just have this hunch Dillon becomes the starter by the end of the season...Honorable mention: Ken Walker WR- Russell Gage. A very good slot receiver who is playing with the best QB all time who loves throwing to the slot receiver. This feels almost too good a matchup....Honorable mention: Jerry Jeudy TE- Cole Kmet. The guy gets a ton of looks and his touchdown stuff was really fluky last year. Numbers should come back to normal this year. Honorable mention: Noah Fant.

gitrdun 16 Posted August 25, 2022 I really like Stevenson in the later rounds. Along with Z. White. the Raiders do not want to play Jacobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 591 Posted August 25, 2022 I have a couple I am targeting late. DeVante Parker. by all accounts the camp reports I've read have been positive. at his ADP I think he returns good value if he stays healthy. DJ Chark is another I think has some potential given his ADP. hes a nice dart throw late in the draft who can return some nice results. Kadarius Toney in New York I think can do some good things if he stays on the field. In my 2 QB league I like Goff and Mac Jones though they wont help most of you unless you are in a 2 QB or superflex league. At RB I like Sanders in Philly and Jacobs in LV. Gibson is listed at RB37. while I dont like fumblers, I'm not sure what his ADP is but hes still listed at the top of the depth chart, so if you can get him at the price of an RB4 I'd suggest you take him at that price and roll the dice. on the other hand Robinson is the guy who likely starts if he doesnt and hes valued even lower. if you are playing a zero RB strategy you could draft both real late and be guaranteed of a reasonable RB because we are reasonably sure one of them will start. we just dont know for sure who that will be. I know McIssac is listed at #2 but I'd suggest hed stay in that role regardless of who starts. I dont think he becomes the starter there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted August 25, 2022 This is one of the fairest years for snake drafting in history, with the undisputed #1 player in all of fantasy football often lasting into the second half of the first round. Almost ANYONE can win this year, if they can just get their hands on Derrick Henry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrokh 569 Posted August 25, 2022 Whichever one of George Pickens or Nico Collins is still on the board when I make my last pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted August 25, 2022 Love M Gallup’s adp. When he does return , in which it’s going to be soon, he will be the wr1 based on avg half ppr. Unlike the OP I think owning both A Jones and Dillon in half ppr would be great. Te looking at those double digit rounds of course , which is the on,y time one should draft a te, Engram. M Gordon he has a great adp and he will get a lot of work. Qb1 I like Cousins once again, he has a great double digit round adp, in which is the right time for one to draft their Qb, and he still has Jefferson and the return of Thielen in what is being called a more pass happy offense.

I like Collins a bit more as I think there is more opportunity in Houston for him. there is good depth at WR in Pitt so pickens may not break out immediately. if Mills breaks out as a QB Collins could be the fantasy darling of late round WR's. he flashed in a couple games last year so not an unreasonable dart throw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JagFan 97 Posted August 25, 2022 Julio Jones for me. He’s there to fill the Gronk void, and dude is a freak of nature. He will have 10+ TDs this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ST_Pete 3 Posted August 25, 2022 For me, I am not leaving the draft without either Mooney or Amon Ra St Brown. These two can be had after the fifth round and I think will return borderline WR1 numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brutal Brutus 182 Posted August 25, 2022 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.
