Redraft Mock Analysis

PPR Redraft Mock Analysis

All Access / By /

I recently took part in a 1QB, PPR redraft mock with eleven other members of the DFF crew. I was very happy with the results, so I’d like to break down my team and my decision-making process throughout the draft. I entered the draft planning to select RBs in the first three rounds before addressing any other positions. This strategy, which I broke down in great detail here, is one I’ve been implementing whenever possible this offseason. I expected to target WR in the middle rounds while waiting to get my QB and TE late, which worked out perfectly.

Karp’s DFF Redraft Mock

All Access / By /

Recently, the @DFF_Redraft crew joined up for a redraft mock draft. The format was: start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex, 6 bench spots, and PPR scoring. It was the first time this offseason that we did a mock with three starting wide receivers, so I was curious to see how that small change affected my strategy and the other drafters’ strategy.

DFF Army PPR Redraft Mock Draft Review

All Access / By /

Every few weeks, the Dynasty Football Factory team gathers its sharpest minds to put together a no time limit mock draft. Throughout the year the type of mock changes quite a bit. At the beginning of the year, it’s a lot of dynasty startups and rookie drafts. Now that it’s summer, the focus switches to redraft.

James Conner: 2020 Dynasty Profile

Dynasty / By /

James Conner was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 3rd round of the 2017 NFL draft. He was quiet in his rookie season. But, when Le’Veon Bell held out in 2018, James Conner broke out in a big way. He finished as the RB6 with over 1,400 total yards, 55 receptions, and 13 TDs. Conner dealt with multiple injuries in 2019, appearing in just 10 games. His efficiency regressed as the Steelers offense crumbled in the absence of Ben Roethlisberger, but he still finished as the RB17 in PPR PPG.

I’ll split up the fantasy assets into three categories: high-end assets, usable contributors, and dart throws. I’ll reference my PPR redraft rankings at the time of writing, which are here. If you want to read my previous work in this series, the full list with links is at the bottom of the article. Let’s jump into the Saints.

Rounds 1 and 2 Redraft Rankings Update: Part 2

All Access / By /

In late February and early March, I published a pair of articles about my early redraft Round 1 and Round 2 rankings. If you want to find my full rankings, they are updated continuously and can be found here under the redraft tab. These rankings assume a 1QB, PPR format where there is an equal number of running back and wide receiver starters. The tiers divide players by their position to provide the best possible context for my rankings. I covered the top 13 players in Part 1, so here comes the final 11 players as well as the two who fell out of the top 24.

A Look Back: Tight End Avoids

All Access / By /

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.

Dead to Me: Redraft

All Access / By /

Have you ever had that feeling of frustration that you can’t shake? These two players make me feel that way. I will never deal with these players again in redraft formats. They’ve both burned me multiple times, and I want no part of them in 2020. I’m not saying that these players are worthless, but I will look for any way to pick someone else in redraft. All ranks are for a PPR format.

DraftKings: Wild Card Weekend Breakdown

All Access / By /

On the eve of Wild Card Weekend, I’ll provide a quick break down of all the players I think you can consider in your DraftKings lineups for the full four-game slate. You can also use it accordingly for the two-game slates if you’re playing those as well. On a slate like this, build yourself a narrative about how you believe the games will go. More often than not, there’s no need to get super-weird and roster an entire lineup of off-the-board plays. It’s more beneficial to build a lineup with upside and then identify a few players that you believe are in far better spots than the rest of the field based on your narrative. On small playoff slates, rostering just one very low-owned player or fading a chalky one you don’t like can jump you over huge chunks of the field in GPPs. Quarterbacks Top Tier Drew Brees ($6,600): For me, it’s death, taxes, and rostering Drew Brees at home. He’ll likely be the highest owned quarterback on the slate and I’ll still have more than the average. Since Week 1 of 2018, Brees has made 13 starts at home and is averaging over 27.5 DraftKings points per game over this span. He’s too cheap for what he brings in this spot. Middle Tier Russell Wilson ($6,800): Were he not priced higher than Brees, he might have made the upper tier. But as it is, he’s hard to pay up for. The argument here is that with a decimated backfield and injuries mounting on the defensive side of the
