![]() ![]() Michael Pittman is a good receiver unlikely to hit his ceiling this season. Hopkins has little ceiling for 2023 and is an obvious fade for me.Īnthony Richardson’s first year is going to be mixed with athletic splash plays and more than a few puzzling throws and downfield mistakes. The Cardinals were pass-happy last year the Titans are always run-heavy. You’d rather be a year early than a year late when it comes to players on the back nine of their career, like DeAndre Hopkins.

It’s not a stressful position to fill in our games. This remains one of the biggest differences between real life and fantasy football - the NFL is all about the quarterback, but it’s not the most important position in fantasy football ( even as the quarterbacks do score the most points). I don’t like the deficit it creates at running back or receiver, and I see many other paths to landing a possible top-five quarterback. Ascending talents.Įarly in the draft cycle, I thought I might be open to chasing the top tier of quarterbacks, where Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Jalen Hurts will go.

The bell cow is almost dead in the NFL, and although you might think that makes running back picks more stressful, it actually has the opposite effect. You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised at how sturdy the RB2/RB3 tier is, in part because we’re not expecting those slots to carry as much weight as they did in prior seasons.

If a league requires just two starting wideouts, then my early running-back build will be equal to my wide-receiver build. If a league requires at least three wide receivers, I want to have the best wideout room in the league, or pretty close to it. I play fantasy football with a microscope, not a telescope.

Lesson learned.īy the way, I have made the title game for the last 5 years in a row.This is it, the biggest fantasy football draft weekend of the year. I remember telling my dad, "that is a decent pick but they plan to pull him at the goal line." Ever the teacher, dad explained he had purchased the Fantasy Football Index update and read Holmes would get the goal line carries. The pick? Priest Holmes (his first dynamite year). He told me he felt very comfortable about who he was going to select but would not tell me who his prized gem was to be. The draft came and dad was sitting in the 12 hole for his pick.
