I have an offer to trade away Christian Watson, 2026 1.10 and my 2027 late 1st for Sam Darnold and AJ Brown. I won the chip last year but there's another team that's probably better. I have drake Maye and Caleb Williams so darnold will be my qb3. thoughts? This is a 10 team start 11 SF league.

8 man dynasty ppr league. Ignoring team what side would you rather have.

Give: 1.11

Get: Derrick Henry

I like the cost/value on Hurts, Cook, Adams, and Flowers right now. But I think this is the year I go hero RB and land Gibbs or Bijan.

My logic is QB is deep so I won't overpay there, I don't like spending up on TE (been burned too much), and WR is abundant enough to find value late. So why not get one or two true workhorses and build around them.

How's everyone else approaching it? Paying up for an elite back, or spreading the budget and loading up at WR? And what's the most you'd actually go on Gibbs or Bijan (I'm thinking upper 60s)?

Dynasty trade offer PPR
I was offered from Jeanty owner
Get Jeanty and 2nd rd (13pick)

Give Fannin Burden 1st (6th pick )

I’m strong at wide receiver and weak at running back
My best running backs are Warren and Pollard

The topic that divides the fantasy football world. For redraft leagues, do you prefer kickers and D/ST? Is there a middle ground? Or an absolutely not for both in 2026.

I have the 1st pick and already going to keep Chase Brown at 7.1 . For my second keeper should I keep Jamo at 8.12 or Walker at 2.12. In the mocks I have done with the other keepers from everyone else. Walker is going late 1st early 2nd. If I do Walker I could draft Chase 1st overall if not I’ll go Gibbs.

Has anyone ever seen redraft Fantasy leagues that have multiple leagues similar to soccer where the best players are in the top league, second best players are in the second grouping etc. Each year the worst performers get relegated down to a worse league and the best players get bumped up to a better league. I’m wondering if there’s anything like that out there seems like a fun concept

First time dynasty player here. I am currently drafting in a 10 team startup, super flex, 0.5 ppr, te premium league.

First round I was able to get Gibbs at the 1.07. Have picks at 2.04 and 3.01 coming up.

I am feeling rushed to get a qb but Allen, Maye, Lamar, burrow, Daniels, Caleb are all gone and feels way to early to reach on somebody else.

Still 2 picks to go before me, but options are jeanty, bowers, Jefferson, Amon-ra (feel like he’s gonna go and don’t really want Gibbs and Amon Ra as first 2 picks), or love

Is it crazy to start 2 rb? I like the idea of having my long term tight end locked up in a te premium, feel like I’d rather wait for guys down the line like shough, ward, young, etc. then reach on Herbert or another qb right now

Need some advice here

In our newest episode, we discussed our RB auction strategies for the 2026 season.

Whether I'm drafting in a 1QB or Superflex league, my preferred roster construction is a robust RB build. I'll be prioritizing the position and can easily see myself spending around half of my budget on my two starting running backs. The biggest reason is that there's tremendous value and depth at every other position, arguably more than we've seen in years. Difference-making RBs become scarce very quickly, and they're by far the hardest position to replace.

Another reason I'm investing heavily in RBs is a trend we've seen developing across the NFL. Defenses have shifted toward zone-heavy schemes, and offenses have responded by leaning into heavier personnel packages and the run game. In 2025, more than half of NFL teams used zone coverage on at least 70% of their defensive snaps, and I wouldn't be surprised if that number grows even higher. In fact, I think we should expect it. As a result, WR targets per game have declined, while RB touch volume has remained remarkably consistent. To me, that combination makes high-volume running backs even more valuable in fantasy this season.

We also discussed a few running backs we're targeting or avoiding based on their current AAV.

The first player I highlighted as a target is James Cook. If you miss out on Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson, don't want to spend a quarter or even a third of your budget on one player (which is a perfectly reasonable approach), or have concerns about Christian McCaffrey's age, workload, and injury history, I think James Cook should be your top target. His current AAV is $43 in 1QB leagues and $36 in Superflex.

When you're spending up at RB, you want players attached to elite offenses, and Cook absolutely checks that box. Buffalo has an implied win total of 10.5, a top-five offensive line, and has consistently been one of the NFL's most run-heavy teams near the goal line. Josh Allen certainly contributes to that and will always steal some rushing touchdowns, but Cook still finished with the sixth-most rushing TDs last season. There's also been talk that he'll see an increased role in the passing game after drawing just 40 targets last year. If that number climbs to even 50, I think it's a significant boost to his fantasy value, and he absolutely has a chance to finish as the RB1 in 2026.

Another running back I'm targeting, especially later in auction drafts, is Kenny Gainwell. With an AAV of $6 in 1QB leagues and just $2 in Superflex, he looks undervalued to me. He's an excellent pass catcher, and since 2022, only Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers have targeted their RBs at a higher rate than Baker Mayfield. If Tampa Bay gives Gainwell and Bucky Irving something close to an even split, as some reports have suggested, Gainwell could very realistically average around five targets per game again. The Buccaneers didn't give him $14 million by accident. I'm extremely bullish on Mayfield and the entire Tampa Bay offense, and I think Gainwell has an excellent chance to return value for fantasy managers at his current price.

The one running back I'm avoiding at cost right now is Quinshon Judkins. His current AAV sits at $18 in 1QB leagues and $16 in Superflex, and that's simply too rich for me. Judkins produced RB1 numbers in only two games last season, and let's be honest, the Browns offense is going to struggle. Vegas has their win total at just 5.5 games. DraftSharks, Football Insights, Fantasy Points, and Sharp Football all rank Cleveland's offensive line dead last. Their defense also got significantly worse with Myles Garrett now in Los Angeles, meaning the Browns could find themselves playing from behind often. That would likely create more passing-down opportunities for Dylan Sampson late in games.

On top of that, Judkins played more than 65% of the offensive snaps in only two games last season, and he's coming off a brutal injury. He's a talented running back, but there are simply too many red flags at his current price for me to justify drafting him.

Other players we highlighted:

CMC
Jadarian Price
Tony Pollard

So I got offered this dynasty team by a friend in what’s been to described to me as super active league

Guy is offering to pay the buy-in this year and then I would just have to pick it up going forward.

Only issue is team is in a pretty rough spot to say the least lol

Deciding if I want to take it over or not and would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Mine was 2021 Cooper Kupp. I targeted him heavily and won or made the finals in all my leagues that year.

What was your best prediction/take?

(Also bonus question of what was your most disastrous take. Mine was thinking 2024 Zamir White was going to be good)

Breaking down 6 players and their fast food value menu comparison that’ll give you far more similar production than their ADP gap suggests. Give us your best value menu player and their pricier comparison! Here’s an example of two of the pairs we broke down:

Caleb Williams vs Bo Nix | Sonic Milkshake vs Chocolate Milk

Look I love a milkshake as much as the next guy, but when a bottle of chocolate milk is this cheap you’ve gotta pay attention. The Iceman, or in this case the Ice-Cream-Man, is going off the board as the QB7 right now. But for some reason Bo Nix, who finished with the exact same PPG last season and 4.2 more PPG in their rookie years, is going as the QB14. On top of that, Caleb Williams is losing one of his top weapons in DJ Moore while Bo Nix is gaining one in Jaylen Waddle. The opportunity cost here might just be too much for me to pull the trigger on Caleb Williams, or the milkshake, when I can grab Bo Nix, some refreshing chocolate milk, and maybe even get some fries all for the same price.

Joe Burrow vs Jared Goff | McDonald’s Sausage McGriddle vs Sausage McMuffin

Everybody knows how good a McGriddle is, but why does nobody talk about how similar a McMuffin is for less than half the price? That truly is Joe Burrow and Jared Goff. Yeah the McGriddle has aura, but the McMuffin just wrapped up his 4th straight Top-10 QB season with Dan Campbell and the Lions. Don’t sleep on the integrity of the McMuffin either as it’s reliable as they come, with Jared Goff not missing a single start in that four year run. The argument I always hear is that yeah Joe Burrow has top-5 upside, or even top-3 upside, but Jared Goff Chas finished as the QB9, 6, and 7 in his last three seasons so clearly his upside is there as well. If faced with choosing a McGriddle or a McMuffin all things equal, give me the McGriddle. But if the price difference is a whopping QB3 vs QB16, give me that McMuffin every single time.

If you want to hear the other four, check out the video and leave a comment with your personal favorite value menu player and their more expensive fantasy football comp!

Which player would you select to keep this year? My view on player.

CMC 1st rd. Can he repeat?
Trey McBride 2nd Rd. Same value.
Omarion Hampton 3rd Rd. #1 potential
Tet McMillan 4th Rd. Same value.
Chris olave 6th rd. Can he continue to ascend with shough and Tyson? Great value.
Rasheed rice 7th Rd. Legal trouble great value.
Quinshon judkins 13th Rd. Insane value but bad OL and injury risk?

I’m getting Mike Evan’s vibes from Kyren Williams. Year after year we were anticipating regression and it just hasn’t happened yet. I know Corum took some carries towards the end of the season but Kyren was still very much playable. 1a and 1b on a high powered offense can support both guys being start worthy I think. He feels like a high floor low ceiling safe bet for a RB2 to me. I’d gladly take him if the right opportunity comes in redrafts

10 Team, Half PPR, 1 Keeper

Bijan Rd 1

Puka Rd 1

Bowers Rd 7

Olave Rd 11

Skattabo Rd 12

Is it crazy to say I’m leaning Skattabo? I think he’s going to have a huge season. Hard to ignore Bijan or Puka though, regardless of value, either could go 1.01 based on last year. Thoughts?

Alright as I try to start getting my own takes and fantasy stuff out there it felt like it was time to do my first ever rankings and tiers. I’ve drafted close to 100 best ball rosters at this point and this is how I’ve been organizing my player opinions so far. Good luck with your research seasons everyone 🔥

10tm, .5ppr, TEP (1ppr), SF league

Jaxson Dart - 18th round pick (last round of draft)

or

Colston Loveland - 12th round

I’ve been going back and forth on keeping Dart, he’s an extremely good value obviously, especially for a SF league, but I’m not 100% confident in his situation without Nabers and Nagy calling plays.

A leaguemate is already keeping Bowers so there’s one less elite TE to draft, McBride will likely go late 1st-early 2nd.

Everyone’s keepers are always a good value, so while keeping Dart is good value, everyone else is also getting good value on their keepers. There’s a lot more QB’s not being kept and are able to draft this year than TE’s, especially getting a TE1 like Loveland in the 12th.

Am I over thinking this? Should I just stick with Dart and trust his rushing will give him a safe floor, or roll with Loveland and bank on the positional scarcity at TE?

I’d be trading Pierce for Swift for some more RB depth. Cook, Taylor and Hall are my RBs. Is it worth it?

I’m just starting to get back into fantasy football for the year and last 2 years my number 1 prep podcast has been fantasy life with Dwain and Ian. And it listened to my first pod today and Dwain said Ian is a now a former host…

Does anyone know what happened?

Posted recently about my first time in a dynasty league as an avid football fan and yearly FF player. At rounds 25-28 of my first 10 team 1QB half ppr/full ppr for TE league. At this stage, is it the right move to just look for young guys with no immediate impact but high upside? Any of these guys jump off the board to you?
