My typically strategy I consider “balanced”, where I usually take a true RB1 & WR1 with my first two picks… in my league I’ve focused RB heavy for PPR targets in the later rounds, and have picked up 3 chips in the last 5 years (in a pretty competitive league)

Im liking hero rb in the 2nd round with saquan and JT but then drafting recievers until the 6th because of the value

I mean that's a flawed chart. You're not looking at the players in that draft. If 1 player was drafted in round 10 and he averaged 10 points vs 3 rbs drafted in round 4 with a mixed bag of avg points like 9 points csn you really say round 10 was better than rd 4? You need to look deeper not just face value

Depends on the rb you draft. Last year I had two teams with a hero rb build, one team had Breece Hall, another had Jonathan Taylor 😅 the wins accumulated accordingly

Prob the best redraft drafting strategy video I’ve seen/heard! Amazing work team!! 🔥

But why not compare with the exact same tables for the WR position??? This could have been useful

Great content!

according to 2023 it seems according to the points the best strat wouldve been, wr,wr,rb,wr,wr,wr,wr,wr,rb,rb,wr,wr,wr,rb obviously with qbs and tes mixed in but tbh i love getting one rb in the top two rounds to me its until the etn range, stack the rest of my team with the best values not at rb then draft a bunch of rbs with my next picks

It’s hard for me not to take 3/4 RBs, WRs run much deeper with probably of score a huge play rather than 4 constant RBs 70/80 points from 3 spots a week, easier to get double digit from a WR; I go great TE mid rounds, and multiple QBs mid late rounds followed by potential like K.rob (why I stoped drafting ETN) and V. Jefferson(praying on Pickens, people might be down in the schedule, but tougher may be meaning, throwing to a #1) , C. Patterson versatile and practically rested a year, add on Willy Wilson highkey lowkey, been switching up in my draft going more WRs i understand the huge play potential but it’s about the unexpected undrafted players being drafted and popping off; 5 more drafts till I max out on dfs favorite time of year: not drafting QBs with bye weeks of 14 because I could draft Cunningham who may be featured as a WR/QB hybrid just drafts I’ve been taking chances on even though I like Richardson with Downs

Brooks is a fantastic talent, but they already said they are going to slow walk him, he is going to start camp with an injury tag, and probably won’t take over till mid season… you want backs who will be good early not late… Next year will be his year for sure

I think nathan is right tho abt the rpund 2 rbs. Looking at the charts rd 1 wr + rd 2 rb = 34.66 pts whereas round 1 rb + rb 2 wr =32.91 pts. I also think the rd 2 rbs might have better name value drafting a saquon in the best situation of his career instead of a guy like olave who has yet to show much imo

I have the 1.01 but i don't like grabbing mcaffery cause by the time I get my next two picks most of the good options are rbs, with the only real safe wr option being mike evans.

Why draft hero rb when u can get ekeler in tje 9th and cook goes undrafted! Both were first round picks just 6 or 7 years ago!

I go RB early in rounds 1-3… data is misleading… There are 10 maybe 12 RBs you can reliably count on, not sharing touches… your not getting that production with later round picks And there is so much value at WR late, and then on top of that you can come back around and still grab the zero RB guys… Even your stats say 1st and 2nd round are 17 to 15 point guys, compared to 12 in the 4th… that’s a whole 5 points… like a third of the production… So gamble on the hope and pray guys in the 5th and on??? Hero RB has been best for years now… there is not a lot of guys that are studs any more… who are the one true never come off the field guys

I’d be just as ok with taking CD with a top 3 and Henry at the back with my 2nd as my hero

This is not seeing the trees through the forest I bet using these averages is going to result inaverage teams .... If you were to take out the best RB from every round, then. Take the averages of the remaining totals again. You'll see the dramatic difference.... I think this data is because so many 1sr & second round running backs last year , busted & o c some later aroung running back hit. If you wanna be one of the.Regression to the means kind of guys...then you could expect to see regression to the mean at RB in 2024. . Specific winning running back strategy.Just take the entire back field on good teams with good running games, its the safest is bet. A team with a couple of stud wide receivers and alot....! of the cheap running backs ,on good running teams will be hard to bet

Except only 3/10 people can be hero RB in round one so you won’t always have a choice as all three of those RBs are top 5 currently

I think you can do a modified hero RB - ETN, Pachecho round 3 or 4

Tend to go zero rb strategy last couple of seasons and it’s worked out well for me. Main reason is just due to the likelihood that all rbs on average miss more games than WRs due to injury. I made playoffs in 6/8 and finals in 4/8. Having a variety of different players. Most common theme: Drafted WR heavy Took value at rb ( 1 in top 6 rounds) Got an elite top 5 rushing QB Grabbed a top 3 TE everywhere I could. (Granted Laporta blew that up)

Am I different I try to score 5 rb’s 5 wr’s 2 tight ends 2 qb’s and 1 kicker and 1 defense

Fantastic presentation the most useful information ever!!! Question on a 10-team Superflex I have the 9th pick 6 QBs will go before me plus CM So do I go Hall or grab Lamb or Jefferson and then hope a Hero will be there if 10 does not double up if there are 2 heroes left. Or there will be 2 #1 wrs What is the best approach I will not take a QB till maybe the 6th or 7th my league has a pattern of you 1 QB early. Thank you

Can this apply to a super flex redraft league as well? Was gonna WR/WR out the gate but you got me thinking bijan at the 1.06?

In the history of BestBall Mania hero rb and zero rb haven’t won that much though. Zero RB has won I think Zero times.

I'd be interested in knowing Waiver Wire data to show importance of staying active. Showing the median and highs from various positions would be interesting.

Always take RB early. Went 11-3 and got the ship. This year I will start 3 RBs then go WR and TE through the first 5 rounds.

So if you go Hero RB at 1, what round do you target your next RB?

Really great content love this sort of statistical analysis

Is this for best ball?? Or is this implemented for espn and yahoo redraft leagues too?

Let me know you guys' thoughts: In a keeper league, I have Breece and Drake London as my keepers and managed to get another first round pick (1.3 & 1.10) thinking about taking two wrs, and getting a rb in the 5th.

Look at that draft guide!!! If I played in more leagues I'd def invest in a membership and get one 🤣 also I love the outro!!!

I think this is the year of double hero RB. Top-heavy RBs in a relative wasteland with immense WR, QB, and (comparably to recent years) TE depth. I know the Underdog data doesn’t corroborate but I genuinely feel comfortable starting guys around WR40, for example

I only take those 3 in round 1!

Gonna swerve when everyone is doing the same I think robust rb can win this year Cmc, barkley and henry Bijon , Taylor, achaine Brrece taylor williams Mix and match and end with 3 of top 5 rbs and and great base each week

sorry - camera slightly out of focus :) shoutout to Tom from our research team for this great research!

Pickens is a legit value. He’s already a top ten receiver at least. The jump with Russel Wilson at QB is only gonna help.

James Conner has a 100% injury rate. Idc idc gimme benson

DJ Moore outside the top 25? Seems low. Everything I'm hearing is that Williams can straight up throw.

Davanta Smith???

What a fresh, awesome take on rankings! Thanks for not following all the other analysts and giving some great points on these guys

Hey, great video! Are y’all able to implement timestamps more consistently?

I love that yall included Meyers. Love him this year. What happens with his value too if adams does get traded? I think he is a lock for 175 1/2 ppr points this year. Dude is just so good and consistent

James Conner is only signed through the 2024 season. Benson is a no brainer pick at ADP.

Must be Cowboys fans. There is no way Lamb is #1. B tier at best

The Drake London hype is crazy amoung the fantasy community.

as a raider fan, the consensus among the fan base is that the raiders will start out with AOC and give him a shot to prove he’s starting qb worthy and if he’s not then minshew can step back in and potentially lead us to a wild card birth

The problem with Calvin Ridley *on the Titans* will be the same as with the Jags: he's Very Slight. & as neither team has a real X receiver, the Jags kept placing him there. Every Time he got challenged in the 1st 5 yards it threw off his timing a lot. With TN they might not use _him_ as the X, but they have no true X. They're gonna have to sacrifice someone. I'm thinking it'll be Boyd. As for the Steelers & Pickens... I say this as a fan: *Russ* is _DONE!!_ While they made for a lot of great highlight reels, he always scrambled in the pocket even when not pressured? You know why? It was how he got to a vantage point from which he could See The Field when he couldn't where he was. & he has been steadily losing that ability for Five Years At Least, the # of years he has led the NFL in passes behind the Line of Scrimmage _because_ he can't scramble anymore. If this lack merely meant "less dynamic," I wouldn't bother to mention it. But these passes yield fewer yards than rushes on average. So he puts his team at 3rd & long almost Every Time He Throws one. 3rd & long means the opposing D knows it's a pass, brings the pressure so he chuck another yards-free check-down *on 3rd & long.* Drive over. This is why Payton lost his patience. He kept doing this even _after_ losing the weight. Fields on the other hand...

This must be redraft. Because in keeper or especially dynasty you want all these guys lol.

The London over GW confuses me with the reasoning. We don't know the situation with Kirk, either. He's also coming off of an injury with a new offense. GW also doesn't have Pitts and has produced with shit QBs while Drake has been given shit QBs as an excuse.

For those of you wondering, we have Devonta Smith at the top of the D tier with Waddle. Apologies for the mishap!
