Continuing my “A Look Back” series, I wanted to go back even further than the 2019 regular season and reference some of my 2019 pre-draft content. In this two-part article, I’m going to take a look at two articles I published in mid-to-late August 2019 about rookies in redraft. Let’s start with the three targets.

To continue my “A Look Back” series, I wanted to go back even further than the 2019 regular season and reference some of my pre-draft content. In the summer of 2019, I did a two-part article, looking at tight end targets and avoids for 2019. I already looked at my suggested targets in part one, so now let’s look back at the three players I said to avoid drafting.

Gronk is back! I feel like I needed to get that out of the way. If anybody doesn’t know, on April 21st, Gronkowski came out of retirement. Everything moved at a breakneck pace on that day. First, Ian Rapoport reported that Gronkowski wanted to unretire and join Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. A few hours later, the Buccaneers and Patriots agreed on a trade to send Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick for a fourth-round pick. Soon after that, Gronkowski officially passed a physical, which finalized the deal. Therefore, Gronkowski had gone from retired in the morning to officially part of the Buccaneers in just a few hours.
Recently, the @DFF_Redraft team did a 12-team early redraft mock draft with rookies included. I had the #2 overall pick in the draft, and I’ll walk you through my thoughts at each pick one-by-one. Then, at the end, I’ll wrap up how I’m feeling about my team.

In 2019, I wrote a weekly column for @DFF_Redraft giving QB, TE, and D/ST streamers each week of the fantasy season. To qualify as a potential streamer, a player needed to be 40% owned or less, according to ESPN’s ownership percentage data. In this three-piece series, I’m looking back at how I did with predicting each category of streamer. In this part, it’s time to look at the D/STs.

Jonnu Smith and Noah Fant appeared in my column four times each. In those eight appearances, there was just one hit, when Smith finished as the TE3 in Week 8. Other than that, they finished outside of the top 20 each additional time I recommended streaming them. Considering that Fant finished as the TE14 and Smith as the TE19 for the 2019 season, perhaps some of this was just variance. They weren’t bad recommendations in general, but they didn’t hit the weeks that I selected them as streamers.

In this piece, we’re going to take a deep dive into the Kansas City wide receiver room. In 2019, the Chiefs had four relevant receivers: Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman, and Demarcus Robinson. While Travis Kelce is and has been the Chiefs’ top target for multiple seasons, Patrick Mahomes is undoubtedly able to support multiple receiving weapons.

Today, it’s time for a deep dive into Tevin Coleman. Coleman has provided fantasy promise in redraft for parts of his five seasons in the league. However, he has never been able truly to fulfill that upside and has been a fantasy frustration for his entire career. Let’s start with a quick snapshot of Coleman’s career so far.

If I had to describe Ebron’s prevailing narrative, I would say that most dynasty owners consider Ebron to be a complete bust, who then had one outlier season in 2018 before fading back to normal in 2019. However, that narrative isn’t real. Ebron was consistently mediocre from 2015-2017, finishing as a high-end TE2 in each year. Both 2018 and 2019 are outliers compared to that stretch of middling performances. To determine the truth about Ebron, we need to go back and look beyond the top-line stats.
