Will change likely after tonight

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

1QB & SF
1. Jeanty
2. Hampton
3. Henderson
4. Hunter
5. Judkins (I suppose Ward in SF)

Can start 4 WR:
1. Jeanty
2. Hunter
3. Hampton
4. Henderson
5. Tet


Does it feel pretty wide open after Jeanty right now? Yep.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Off the cuff (may change when I have more time to consider it)...


Standard

1. Jeanty
2. Hampton
3. Hunter
4. Loveland
5. McMillan

Superflex

1. Jeanty
2. Hampton
3. Ward
4. Hunter
5. Loveland

TE Premium

1. Jeanty
2. Hampton
3. Hunter
4. Loveland
5. Warren

 

[ghostguy123]

I might be crazy but I don't think I'd have Tet in my top 5.

I don't really do superflex so here's my single QB, TE premium:

Jeanty
Hampton
Henderson (would be hoping for a good landing)
Warren
Loveland

 

[-OZ-]

SF:
Jeanty
Ward
Tet
Hunter
Loveland (I know he won’t go here, I’d trade down if I had this pick)
Golden
Hampton

Non SF, remove Ward (probably goes 1.12-1.16), bump everyone up one

 

[eighsse2]

1QB PPR:
Jeanty
Hampton
Henderson
Judkins
Kaleb Johnson

Yeah give me the RB's this year.

 

[MAC_32]

Tiers > Rankings

And I'm very happy to have pick 8 in a TE premium / superflex. We'll see how tonight shakes out, but I'm expecting a similar caliber talent at 8 as what goes at 5.

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

I might be crazy but I don't think I'd have Tet in my top 5.

Same. Hopeful that the #8 overall is enough for one of those slots to eat him up.

In fairness, I need to keep an open mind about him. Thought he would be an easy pass top 5, but definitely can't dismiss it as a 1.5 possibility now. I don't think he's Mike Evans or London. Is he Pittman? Is that worth it? If I can start 4 WRs or just really need to build depth, probably a reasonably safe pick.

 

[sushinsky4tsar]

Tiers > Rankings

But something has to give when you're on the same tier, right? Right now, feels like:

Jeanty
--------
Hampton
Henderson
Hunter
Judkins
Tet

...but yeah, pretty fluid depending on roster and settings. Can easily add the TEs in premium. Really glad I don't have to sort our SF with this class.

I try to trade pre-draft to avoid this problem. Format matters, but I was sure not to have a pick between 4 and 7 anywhere.

Spring draft? I'm going to try not to hyperventilate on anything that happens tonight. I'm hoping that I'm bumping Henderson in front of Hampton after tonight, but not if he goes #58. But then again, great situation, who knows. August draft, so it could look like a tier of 6 after Jeanty tonight and then break into three sub-tiers of 9 by the time I'm on the clock.

 

[MAC_32]

Spring draft?

Yes, all 3 of mine start within the next week.

 

[JohnnyU]

I have four of my leagues that I commish that start Sunday morning.

 

[ffmail4me]

Guys that are rating Warren over Loveland, are you not factoring in the Qb play? I am scared to death about any passing target in that offense if AR is the starter. I would hope Jones would be better with these weapons (he certainly never had them in NY) but hard to bet the farm on him as well.

I guess if your team is a ways away from competing, I'd go with Warren.
I'd probably go Warren either way. I think he's better.
If AR keeps sucking he won't be the guy for long

 

[Ilov80s]

1QB, non TE Premium

1. Jeanty
2. Hampton

That seems pretty much slam dunk and it gets trickier from there

3. Hunter
4. Treyveon Henderson
5. Tet

 

[ghostguy123]

Hmmmmmm

 

[renesauz]

Several of my leagues are deep roster start two TE superflex, with TEs scoring premium. IN those leagues the top 4 are undeniably Warren, Loveland, Ward and Jeanty....likely in that order but hard to argue with any order depending on roster need. After that there's about 6 guys that I feel are in the same tier and nearly interchangeable

 

[IHEARTFF]

Maybe like
Jeanty
Hampton
Judkins
Hunter
Henderson

What is the premium on TEs in your TEP league? It would have to be major (almost excessive) for me to move off of Jeanty/Ward as the 1/2 in any superflex league.

damm, you going to post the results for us?

1QB PPR, no premiums adjusted right now, top of my head with tier breaks

1. Jeanty

2. Omarion

3. Travis Hunter
4. Judkins
5. Henderson
6. Tet

7. Tre Harris
8. RJ Harvey
9. Kaleb Johnson
10. Matthew Golden
11. Jayden Higgins
12. Warren /Loveland

12. Warren /Loveland

That’s pretty close to mine. I’m less bullish on Golden but that’s about right. 4th rd RBs in the right spot (Dal, Chi maybe) could squeeze in here.

12. Warren /Loveland

Nice list. Looks like I will be staring at one of the TEs in TE-prem at the 1.08 (strictly BPA, no positional needs driving choice).

As a McConkey owner, there's a temptation to hedge and select Tre Harris, but I'm optimistic that if Mike Williams is good (as in good enough) and if Harris develops, it will unlock McConkey for top-10 production over the long haul. ... #1s are gonna #1 and #2s are gonna #2.

...but RJ Harvey has my attention. About to dive into highlights and scouting reports, but the predisposition is strong with those guy.

 

[JohnnyU]

1qb ppr te prem (1.5). I'll do 15 instead of 5.

1. Ashton Jeanty
2. Omarion Hampton
3. TrevVeyon Henderson
4. Tet McMillan
5. Quinshon Judkins
6. Travis Hunter
7. Tyler Warren
8. Colston Loveland
9. Emeka Egbuka
10. Matthew Golden
11. R J Harvey
12. Jayden Higgins
13. Kaleb Johnson
14. Luther Burden
15. Cam Ward

Maybe I should have slotted Egbuka in the top 12 there. Tough to decide between him and Golden. I don’t like Golden so maybe that was too high for him.

I was watching a site last night this was the way they had it for SF for his top 7 he said "No way you can draft 1 of the OSU RB's over Hunter or McMillian with that draft capital"
I am thinking in the FFPC plenty of people will draft those RB's in the 3-5 range

Jeanty
----------------
Hampton
------------------
Hunter
McMillian
Ward
-------------------
Henderson
Judkins
----------------------

I think this is likely to emerge as a close ADP with Hunter being a bit of a wild card pick that might go as high as 2 or as low as 7 on this list. I'm with you on Tet being consensus #4 at worst. He's going to dominate targets in CAR. CLE also just double dipped at RB with a pretty well rated space back in Dylan Sampson in the 4th round.

Sampson a wasted pick for fantasy

It will definitely happen in ffpc and there is not a great argument against it really. Hit rate on 2nd round rbs is actually extremely high. I'll have to dig up the study but I believe it's actually slightly higher than the hit rate on top 10 WRs over the last 10ish years so they are comparable.

I expect Judkins to be the pick at 1.03 in a LOT of ffpc leagues.

 

[Willie Mays Hayes]

I was feeling this until the Sampson pick.

 

[Deamon]

Bump

 

[Willie Mays Hayes]

1QB PPR, no premiums adjusted right now, top of my head with tier breaks

1. Jeanty

2. Omarion

3. Travis Hunter
4. Judkins
5. Henderson
6. Tet

I see it very similarly for the Top 6 in terms of tiers. I think when you get into the 3-6 range, it becomes a matter of preference since it's a tier of 4. For SF, Ward probably makes it a tier of 5. In TEP, I still don't see Loveland and Warren making it into the 3rd tier. I still see them in the tier afterwards.

 

[SayWhat?]

In SF, I would go:

Jeanty
Ward

Next group

What is the premium on TEs in your TEP league? It would have to be major (almost excessive) for me to move off of Jeanty/Ward as the 1/2 in any superflex league.

2 ppr, but also HAVE to start 2 TEs. In that format, top TEs are huge and worth as much as top QBs, more then most QBs. It's a bigger advantage to have a second TE catching 4+ balls a game then it is to have a second QB in your lineup. You don't realize how shallow the viable pool is in TEs until you have to start two in a 14 team league, and how many times guys start a player praying for even 2 catches from him

If AR stinks, I honestly believe Jones will do ok with those weapons. Not ideal, but not something to downgrade him all that much for

 

[kutta]

I haven’t been this unexcited for a rookie class since, ever.
I don’t know. Obviously the top of all classes have “some” excitement, but this class only goes 2 or 3 deep there. The mid-late first round guys all feel like mid second rounders in most drafts. And then mid-late second rounders? Whatever.
I think I may just try to trade out of this draft completely.

Strongly disagree. People have been enamored of WRs the past few years, and it is admittedly a bit shallow there (at least at the top). People pay a lot of attention to the QBs too, and it's worse there. BUt it's the best RB class in several years, and the best TE class I can remember just about ever. In the end it's a pretty average class all told, just not where people care the most lately

 

[Wigglytuff's Gruff]

I don't think it's anything special. Not many can't miss on players in my opinion.

Dont think the TE class is better than 23. Just been pushed up by the general weakness elsewhere.

 

[Soulfly3]

I've given up on the "this class is weaker than", because it's based off what we think we know.
We could end up with 5 HoF RBs or 5 HoF WRs in this class, we just never know.... Guys we overlook become studs... can't miss guys become duds....

Take each draft class if it could change everything for you, because in reality... It can

 

[Mitchie]

Am having a hard time getting excited about anyone after the first 7 picks in superflex, (which seem fairly obvious). Keep trying to talk myself into some of them but then find myself talking myself out of them.

Exactly, but depending on format it's > 7

 

[KellysHeroes]

FBG ranking still has Tet as #2, I don't think thats actualy what the Fantasy world is feeling

who would possibly go in top 7 in SF, (assuming ppr), outside of these guys?:
Jeanty
Ward
Tet
Hunter
Hampton
Henderson
Judkins

I mean I know some names could be suggested but would anyone seriously consider taking them top 7?

Would I take Kaleb Johnson, Luther Burden, Colson Loveland, etc over them? Probably not, but they're why I positioned myself to have picks in the 8-14 range rather than sooner.

 

[greenmountaingoat]

1QB, here's where I think I'm at right now:
Jeanty
Hunter

Hampton
Tet

Judkins
Egbuka
Loveland
Kaleb Johnson
Henderson
Harvey
Higgins
Burden
Golden
Harris

Taylor
Bech
Warren
Williams
Skattebo

Blue
Etienne
Jordan James

Probably forgetting a few.
Not sure yet where the QBs fit in 1QB- Ward seems like sort of a low ceiling high floor. Back end QB1 is not that hard a role to fill. Milroe sky's the limit and Dart somewhere in-between.
