A Look Back and Forward: 10 Best Values (Part 2)

In this two-part article, I’m taking a look at the 10 best draft values from the 2019 redraft season. I started by choosing five players from the top 50 in ADP in part one, found here, and now I’ll pick five players from the rest of the draft in part two. As in part one, I will be using Yahoo’s final half PPR ADP. In addition to revisiting how these players performed in 2019, I will also briefly touch on what I expect going forward into 2020. I’ll limit eligible players to the top 150 and might examine the best waiver wire wonders in a future piece.

Yahoo DFS: Main Slate Cash and GPP Plays for Week Three

It looks like the team over at Yahoo Daily Fantasy Sports resisted rolling out mass multi-entry products for as long as they could, as three weeks into the NFL season they now have 125 max and 150 max entry limits in their two biggest contests. We should assume some sort of shift in their marketing strategy is coming, as well as CSV-upload capability, relatively soon. It likely signals the end of the 10 entry maximum era there, and it will be interesting to see if targeting the high dollar mass multi-entry market can elevate them to the level of FanDuel and DraftKings eventually.

With the Los Angeles Chargers a little over two weeks away from opening training camp, news broke today that absent a new contract extension, star running back Melvin Gordon does not plan to be there. Adam Schefter reported the news via Twitter this morning. Now Melvin Gordon owners everywhere are forced to hold their breath and cross their fingers that we aren’t on the verge of another Le’Veon Bell situation.
