AFC North
Baltimore Ravens – Zay Flowers (WR22)
At least here at DFF, we have Zay Flowers priced a little more appropriately. For some reason, last season’s WR7 in total fantasy points is currently sitting at WR27 over at KeepTradeCut. Still, I’m more aggressive than nearly everyone in the industry, with him at WR15 in my personal rankings.
He’s the top target for Lamar Jackson and in his prime as he enters his age-26 season. In addition to the top-notch raw stats, Flowers also posted some elite efficiency metrics in 2025: first in juke rate (22.9%), fourth in explosive plays (21), fifth in yards per route run (2.62), and sixth in target separation (2.15) among all wideouts. As long as I can get him for low-end WR2, high-end WR3 prices, I’m picking Flowers all day long.
Cincinnati Bengals – Tee Higgins (WR25)
While he’s never going to be the first option in Cincinnati’s passing attack, Tee Higgins is still a highly productive fantasy receiver. Even while missing seven games over the past two seasons, he’s racked up back-to-back campaigns with over 800 yards and double-digit touchdowns. Playing second fiddle to Ja’Marr Chase, Higgins ranked second in the league in receiving scores (11) and 13th in fantasy points per game (14.1) last season.
Like Flowers, I’m higher on Higgins than most. He’s my WR16 since he’s tied to Joe Burrow in an offense that loves to sling the rock. As long as he stays healthy, Higgins should flirt with WR1 output once more, making him an attractive add at cost for any manager playing for a championship this season.

Continuing my Redraft series, I’m now going to look at the average draft position (ADP) for tight ends in 2025. My goal is to identify the ideal ADP windows for targeting the TE position versus other positions.
I looked at the top 96 players in 2025, and 10 tight ends were taken in that range. I looked to see how the player did based on their draft position. I am using Sleepers’ ADP for this exercise.

Late Round Dynasty Gem: Eli Heidenreich
Within the Dynasty Fantasy Football community, most die-hard Dynasty enthusiasts have heard the name Eli Heidenreich. But the main question is: does he have potential? After being selected by his hometown Steelers in the seventh round (230th overall), he’s a very underrated player who would have gone a bit higher if he had played at a larger college football program and gotten more national recognition. Heidenreich will land on the Philadelphia Eagles schedule on November 22 and is an intriguing hybrid offensive player with elite pass-catching ability. When digging deeper into the analytics on Heidenreich, he’s actually an intriguing prospect who has all the talent to become a hidden gem of Dynasty rookie drafts. Let’s dive in!

Top Dynasty Value for Each NFC East & West Team
You mean to tell me I can get a 26-year-old bell-cow, tied to a long-term contract, in an explosive offense at only RB19 prices? Sign me up all day. Javonte Williams averaged 15.2 fantasy points per game last season, good for RB11. After racking up 1,338 total yards and 13 touchdowns in his first season with the Cowboys, Williams re-upped with Dallas, and he’s now locked in as the unquestioned RB1.
He’s not the most electric back in the game, but volume is king, and he should get plenty of it again in 2026. With only Malik Davis and Jaydon Blue behind him, Williams could push for 300 touches this season. Low-end RB1 output is in play once again, and you only have to pay a low-end RB2 price to get him.

Navigating the Campus Side: Expert Picks and Draft Strategy (Part 2)
Welcome back for Part 2 of my C2C startup series, where I give you a behind-the-scenes look at my Campus selections and draft strategy in a league full of expert analysts. If you missed Part 1, where I covered my first ten picks, you can check that out here. I’ll run through picks 11-20 and my reasoning in this article and then wrap it up with a handful of my favorite late-round picks in Round 3.
As a reminder, this is the Campus draft in a C2C startup, and the league format is start 12, 2QB, and Superflex. No more wasting time; let’s jump right in!
11.04 – Faizon Brandon (QB – TEN)
I went with an incoming freshman for my QB3 with Faizon Brandon. He’s reportedly winning the QB competition this offseason and is tracking to be the Week 1 starter for the Vols. Brandon boasts above-average arm strength and made some impressive anticipatory throws on his high school film, displaying good footwork and mechanics. He’s not a dual-threat guy by nature but is highly athletic and mobile, amassing 24 rushing touchdowns and nearly hitting 1,500 rushing yards in his high school career. This pick could end up being a smash in the double-digit rounds.
12.09 – Jai’Den Thomas (RB – UNLV)
I wrote up Thomas a few weeks ago in another article as my Devy “sleeper” at the RB position. He’s coming off a 1,000-yard, 12-touchdown season where he averaged over 18 FPPG and should be in line for an even larger workload in Year 4. Not only should “Jet” Thomas be an every-week starter for my team, but I think he has some sneaky dynasty value as a potential scat back at the NFL level. He’s a smaller back but highly explosive and unbelievably efficient.

Navigating the Campus Side: Expert Picks and Draft Strategy (Part 1)
We’re well into the DFF C2C Bragging Rights startup draft, a highly competitive C2C league bringing together content creators from Dynasty Football Factory and Campus 2 Canton. After wrapping up the “Canton” draft, the “Campus” draft is now underway. With roughly 20 rounds in the books, we’re approaching the halfway point.
This will be Part 1 of my draft series, where I’ll break down my picks from the first 10 rounds and walk through my macro-level strategy. Keep an eye out for future editions, where I cover my middle and late-round selections.
A few notes for context: this is a managed league (not best ball), with a start-12, 2QB/Superflex lineup, meaning you can start up to three quarterbacks. With that in mind, let’s review my picks and where I’m headed from here.
