Rank your prospects and see how deep that top tier is. Does it go 8 deep ? If so, you are fine. If you have a cutoff at 5, then you might consider packaging 1.08 + 1.14 to move up. It all boils down to how much separation you see at the top of the draft.I'm in a 14 team league and I've accumulated 1.02, 1.08, 1.14 (mine, I won the league!) and 2.01. Question, would you rather use all 4 picks or possibly trade a couple of picks to get another top 5 pick? Not a "who do I start" type of question but rather would you rather have quantity or quality in this draft?
It depends somewhat on what your plans are for these picks and what your roster looks like.I'm in a 14 team league and I've accumulated 1.02, 1.08, 1.14 (mine, I won the league!) and 2.01.

I think this is the best way to do it.Rank your prospects and see how deep that top tier is. Does it go 8 deep ? If so, you are fine. If you have a cutoff at 5, then you might consider packaging 1.08 + 1.14 to move up. It all boils down to how much separation you see at the top of the draft.
I think it would be easier to move up now, while people are still talking about a "deep draft", vs waiting until your draft starts. At that point, the other owners start getting more attached to particular players.
Some people have suggested you rank your players into tiers. I think that's the perfect strategy but also one that you can often ball up and throw in the trash once the NFL draft concludes. Not sure how much that will help you now but for sure a great and simple strategy I use post-draft every year.I'm in a 14 team league and I've accumulated 1.02, 1.08, 1.14 (mine, I won the league!) and 2.01.

There is very high injury risk here but maybe the upside is worth it.Not sure if he has been mentioned but, a guy who seems to be way under the radar is John Ross. He has had a rough start to his career, but the talent is there and the significant QB upgrade he is about to get makes him my top buy low target this offseason.
Agreed. I bought Ross before the 2019 season. While I was encouraged with his usage, PFF grades still weren't particularly high and completion rate was low in my eyes. I can't tell you if that was crappy uncatchable throws or bad receiving as I didn't see any games.There is very high injury risk here but maybe the upside is worth it.
Males sense to target Bengals skill players right now because of Burrow likely improving their offense across the board. Burrow can't make Ross healthy though.
Would you pay a late second for him?Agreed. I bought Ross before the 2019 season.

What I'm optimistic about was the 2019 injury was a broken collarbone, while all previous injuries were lower-body soft tissue stuff. I don't consider the collarbone related to previous muscle injuries and am hopeful after 3 years in an NFL training program that perhaps he will have put those injuries behind him, at least for one season.
If you have room, I think he makes a good flier. But he's a flier, not someone with an established role like some of the others in the thread where folks are expecting simply higher production
I felt that way with having Luck, Antonio Brown, Kareem Hunt (2018), Beckham Jr, Gurley, and Gronk on the same team, among other so-called safe bets. Things happen quickly in FF.My shark move this year is to do nothing. Sometimes I’m too active and my team is stacked. I just have to not screw up by over trading
That is a lot of bad luck!I felt that way with having Luck, Antonio Brown, Kareem Hunt (2018), Beckham Jr, Gurley, and Gronk on the same team, among other so-called safe bets. Things happen quickly in FF.
I'm in a deep IDP dynasty league. Price for me was roughly late 4th to early 5th. Depending on what you think of this year's crop of WR, I think late 2nd is reasonable. Depending on your situation, upside of a rookie longer timeframe for it to play out and someone like a McLaurin to happen. Upside of Ross is you'll probably know within a year whether you have something worth keeping (or trading) but it might also be 2 years and a drop. For whatever it's worth, a couple trade calculators I use (doesn't include IDP) has Ross at about late 2nd value as well. I'd be happier cheaper, but it seems reasonable.Mark Football said:Would you pay a late second for him?
I have the same issue. This year I am just targeting a handful of guys that I feel are undervalued and I can maybe find a bargain on. No major trades.Gandalf said:My shark move this year is to do nothing. Sometimes I’m too active and my team is stacked. I just have to not screw up by over trading

While I was never a Dalton fan, but I thought Ross's 1st round pedigree was well deserved.Mark Football said:Would you pay a late second for him?
He was getting touted as a potential 1st round dynasty rookie pick before the NFL draft happened, then his draft capital put his value in the garbage. I'm not going to argue with NFL draft capital, it is the best indicator of success we have, but this guy was well regarded and looked pretty decent when given some volume this year.I like Auden Tate as a cheap WR in Cinci. He made some really impressive grabs last year. This article (which has some clips) compares him to Golladay: https://stripehype.com/2019/12/05/cincinnati-bengals-film-study-auden-tate-rise/
He's not fast but he has good size and hands.
