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.

Carson Wentz has been an excellent real-life quarterback after his rookie year, throwing at least three times as many touchdowns as interceptions each season. In 2017, Wentz had an MVP-type season for the 13 games he played, dominating the NFL and leading the Eagles to an 11-2 record in his starts. Unfortunately, Wentz tore his ACL near the end of 2017, causing him to miss the Eagles’ Super Bowl run.

Best ball is a fantasy football format that’s all about your favorite part of the fantasy season: the draft. You simply draft an expanded roster, usually somewhere between 18 and 25 players, and that’s it. You will not set weekly lineups, place waiver claims, or send trade offers. Instead, your optimal lineup is generated each week after all the games have been played. You score points based on that optimal lineup, and, at the end of the season, the team with the most points wins.

Rebuilding a dynasty team can be a ton of fun, mostly because rookie drafts make us feel like a kid on Christmas. We count up all our picks and wonder what shiny new toys the NFL draft will bring us this year. But I think there’s a bit of a fixation with rebuilding in the dynasty community that can distract from the true goal of playing dynasty and fantasy sports in general: winning championships.

Recently, the DFF team and I participated in a PPR, superflex, 1.5 PPR tight end premium redraft mock. Unlike our previous mock draft breakdowns, I’m not planning to go team-by-team and discuss how much I like each roster. However, I’ll reference my team, which I drafted from the 1.05 slot, as a basis for my general thoughts. The point of this exercise was to look at quarterback value and tight end value in this format and draw conclusions about strategy. In this first part, I’ll discuss how to handle the quarterback position in redraft superflex leagues, compared to both dynasty superflex and redraft 1QB formats.

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.

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.

Emmanuel Sanders has a knack for landing on Super Bowl contending organizations. He started his career in Pittsburgh then moved on to Denver where he won a championship. He was most recently traded to the San Fransico 49ers, the latest Super Bowl runner up, and then inked a 2-year deal with the New Orleans Saints this offseason.

When it comes to Lamar Jackson, despite his eye-popping 1,200+ yards rushing, a 66% completion percentage, and 36 touchdown passes vs. only 6 interceptions, some people still aren’t convinced he’s worthy of a first round pick in redraft.

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
