The Go-To Strategy To Win ESPN Fantasy Football Drafts

ESPN Fantasy Football Cheat Codes this is the cheat code to win your ESPN Fantasy Football League this season today we will hold your hand through every single round talk you through our winning strategy for the 2024 NFL season and most importantly we're going to be using wisdom of the crowds comparing this standard default ESPN rank over to Underdog wisdom of the crowds daily drafts weekly drafts with real money on the line where that ADP is much more concise than what they put in front of you on ESPN and I think we're looking at Early Picks & Best Draft Slot the early part of the draft if you are able to pick your draft slot we picked second in this one I think first second third fourth that's the my favorite spot to draft uh if CMC Falls to you perfect if not then I think that we're going to be looking at uh CD lamb we do like a couple of the values at the end of round two for running backs so kicking it off with the wide receiver one Al beit a hold in at the moment with CD lamb does make a lot of sense to me yeah and this is PPR as well and CD Lam led the league in targets there's not a lot of depth in Dallas and this team wants to pass the ball that's what Mike McCarthy did all last year it was the best offense in the league so all we need is a replication of what happened last year so as we wait for our next election a few ground rules here we are going to interpret these rosters as as Hayden mentioned fullo PPR two running backs three wide receivers and a flex on top of that obviously just one quarterback and one tight end big picture view of what ESPN does as you can see the top three running backs go in the top four to top five overall selections with quarterbacks they're actually going much later on ESPN than almost any other platform not until the 42nd overall selection do you see Josh Allen off the board Elite tight ends are still available in round five and as we have seen consistently Hayden drafting so much this allseason rookies and second-year players on ESPN or Yahoo and sleeper go check out those videos if you haven't yet are being drafted way way way too late so I'm sure we'll end up with a few on our team yeah there's of the elite names like Malik neighbors you can get in the fourth round sometimes but it's really that name Xavier worthy Brian Thomas those guys drafted in the 90s sometimes even the 100s that to me is just stealing here and I think just in general in full PPR I'm more willing to go zero RB because Point per reception the wide receivers catch the ball here so we'll see who's available in round two with the running back spots but if you do get boxed out at running backs this is the format where if you want to start with four wide receivers get that Flex spot filled it's not the Building Hero Running Back worst idea this year I feel more comfortable than any other on ESPN sleeper Yahoo to start off with a hero running back a singular running back and then dominate your opponents through the three wide receiver spots plus whatever Flex spots in fantastic wide receiver values in two three four five I mean if we can just take what ESPN has here again the default rankings we haven't touched anything this is what all of your league mates are going to be drafting off of Nico Collins goes 22nd here he's a 17th pick on underdog fantasy BR nuk the 36th overall player on ESPN 26th on Underdog Jaylen Wadd 39th 19th overall Cooper cup 41st he goes 22nd on Underdog Malik neighbors 47th he goes 24th on Underdog again these are names that we're going to be heavily looking at in round two in round three to have the best wide receiver room and dominate our competition in at least one position and I would rather have a running back in the first round then in the second round there's a couple landmines in my opinion like Travis etn 18 that's too early Isaiah Pacho in this mock draft he goes uh 12th overall but that's because he has an 0p in the second round that's a little bit too early Derrik Henry should not be going in the second round in full PPR I think in this scenario I would much rather go with the upside wide receivers and then hope hope to hit some zero RB Targets later on but um you and I are huge fans of Devon H and we think that he can catch a lot of passes so if there was a running back at the two three turn that I would be going out of my way to get to me would Devon H over those names I just mentioned so we're just about three selections away in this mock draft my eyes are on Devon hen I know so many out there who leave comments in our videos are a bit nervous that it's a split backfield how he got hurt a smaller size my theory is that he's one of the few players especially in this round of the draft that has the potential of 20 plus points scoring weeks and we want that the running back position that defines fantasy football so Hayden where do you think we should go to me I love the values of Nico Collins and even other wide receivers after this that I would want to go H in here in round two yeah you and I believe that there's more of a drop off from Anan to the other one so I would go with the running back here and then there's five or six wide receivers that we would be willing to draft at 26 overall so that's how you have to play the turn is just kind of look at what the guy behind you has in his drafts and then the the positional scarcity and the tears at the next position so are you cool with going with Nico Collins at the start of round three here Devonte Adams is interesting in full PPR um so I could make the case there I mean that he's going to catch a lot of passes but Nico Collins I think is the better player and the better offense so those would be my top two Targets in this one I'll let you decide yeah we're going to go with Nico Collins again all credit to Devonte and what he's done I would just rather attach my fantasy football season to CJ Stroud than the combination of Gardner menu and a no conell but maybe I'm off I just want to take good players on good teams right I agree with that I if it were a bold prediction show I would say that Devonte Adams gets traded at the deadline and we can see what happens but that's that's Galaxy brain for another time the first four rounds of your draft should really dictate how the rest of your roster should go we had a game plan heading into this we are open to it changing like let's say the wide receiver value was extreme that we started with three wide receivers then we would continue to push and push and push that running back position and also don't just solely go off of the rankings that are presented to you as soon as you open up whatever Lobby whatever platform you're drafting off of because again not to speak for Hayden but I'm going to we would draft bruk way ahead of 36th overall we would draft jayen W way ahead of 39th overall Cooper cup way ahead of 41st but I'm so confident we might get one of those names plus an elite quarterback here when we get to rounds four and rounds five yep we have ranking shows next week on our channel uh I have rankings on Underdog Network I update these as much as possible so yeah we we have our own rankings as well yeah a few notes on that if you are new to this Channel and you are hoping to win your fanasy football league we believe we do a pretty good job at helping you do that so hit that subscribe button 39% of the people that watch the video hit that thumbs up and leave a subscribe you should do the same and I mentioned some of those wide receiver names we've gotten some great comments recently of hey you guys seem to focus a lot on quote unquote wide receiver 2os and wide receiver 3es on their own teams rather than prioritizing other teams wide receiver ones it's because if you go back and look look at previous Seasons there have been the likes of Bren auk who scored a few less points than dvo Samuel but he still finished as the wide receiver 14 in points per game you had tank Dell finish as the wide receiver 16 in points per game last season tied to niik Collins as the wide receiver six Jaylen waddle the wide receiver 23 tied to Tyreek Hill as the wide receiver one so it's okay for us to draft other teams wide receiver twos over other teams wide receiver ones what I'm noticing here Josh Allen's the first quarterback to go Elite Quarterback Bargains r round four pick seven I think the elite quarterbacks are a little bit underpriced here to me Jaylen Herz is my quarterback one new offensive coordinator if he does fall to us this to me is just like a absolute bargain his floor is so high but with the new offensive coordinator you're going to see way more rpos way more play action he's going to be able to scramble around a little bit as well so my vote here would be to go with one of the elite quarterbacks because I trust you and I to find some wide receivers and running backs in the double digit rounds that can contribute I think it's a little bit harder to do uh when you're drafting like the Gino Smith types we just drafted Jaylen Herz I will add here on ESPN be mindful that Anthony Richardson by default is ranked ahead of Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson not by much but by anything that's a stretch and I love anony Richardson this year I I think he can have a fantastic season maybe the best middle round quarterback value in my eyes is Kyler Murray who's frequently going in round seven that's after that Prescott that's after Joe burrow and he definitely offers more rushing upside than the other two that I just mentioned so unfortunately Devonte Chasing The Stacks Smith uh is off the board as well we like to stack even in your redraft leagues you you should be looking to stack here uh but we're in still in a really good spot here because I see ttin tank Dell I see T Higgins I see George Pickins I would be open to any of those guys I think some of the Tre McBride as a potential Elite tight end here we I'm also down with with Trey McBride I think that tank D and T Higgins are awesome picks as well so those would be like the top three names I'll let you decide okay we're going with Trey McBride again we already have Nico Collins drafting tankel there's not a problem with having two of the potential top three wide receivers on one of the best passing offenses in the league even dating back to the Stefon Diggs Adam theand years with the Minnesota Vikings it's not always the best case scenario to like spread out your portfolio if you believe in a quarterback you almost certainly believe in his top scoring wide receiver especially if the are if they're a pocket passer and if you believe and that wide receiver and he has good weeks and almost certainly the quarterback is too so these are why stacking even in managed home leagues is a beneficial path to cross the other thing in full Mid Round Wide Receivers PPR is you don't need a really strong rb2 either so like on this team we went with some of the pass catchers I think in this tier when you're looking at the James Conor Nai Harris gavon Williams I don't want to draft too many of these guys in full PPR there's going to be some wide receivers that I would rather have and load up my Flex with a wide receiver even maybe even a bench wide receiver uh in this tier so I think that and when you're talking about 71st overall 74th I wouldn't want to double dip in this tier if you love a name go for it I think you and I both like James Connor and Naji Harris here but I don't think you have to go out of way out of your way to fill your running back two spots so early in the draft we have been lucky we have been blessed by James Connor and Naji Harris falling to us we think that the Arizona Cardinals can surprise people with how competent their offense is this year and James Connor is a Workhorse for them both in the rushing game and the receiving game so let's go here I I'm not terrified of pushing running back a little bit further but the wide receiver values in round six seven8 again especially with some of the second and third year and even rookie wide receiver talents are just insane just massive I mean throwing out some names Rashi rice as you can see on the board right now 79th he goes 43rd on Underdog romad dun 97th he goes 63rd over on Underdog Xavier worthy 104 Brian Thomas 113 I want all four of those names on our roster and we might end up with them so again it's it's all about knowing your platform should we take tank Dell I know it's a bit unfair for him to be here we should we we should we have some Auto drafters in here you might have some friends that are uh slumped over on the couch not making picks either you never know what happens let's take advantage but I I would have been totally fine with Jaden Reed in that slot or again jsn Jackson Smith and jiga in that slot we' mentioned all those other wide receiver talents in radun and rishy rice and all of those so have that mindfulness of knowing that in this area of the draft is where so many of those up andc coming wide receiver talents are going to be selected in your draft we have our starting lineup minus the flex filled out through eight rounds here to me on full PPR my first bench spot I want it to be a wide receiver and I think even my second bench spot yes I want it to be a wide receiver just because we have by weeks this is a full PPR format here and then I want to trust that we can find some waiver wire running backs uh that go completely undrafted on the platform as well so to me it's all these young wide receivers that we're talking about and then later on we can kind of go with a chuba hubber possibly for early week production we can go with the Devon single ter who might be uh getting a bunch of snaps as a running back and then come back and then go for the upside swings some rookies that might need some contingent value like your ray Davis types out there to kind of round out your bench and hope for some upside but I think this is The Sweet Spot of all these rookie wide receivers that we keep mentioning you have to get them and don't be afraid to throw one one or two of these guys uh on your bench love a lot of those notes because some of the running back values that I really like Chase Brown as 111 overall you have Rico d as 141 overall uh and then chuba hubard at 173 overall so we we' already filled out and we didn't have to our top two running backs and SO waiting for that Mark and instead getting four five Rookie Wide Receivers six seven wide receivers feels great to me who do you want to go him from here my eyes lock on to Xavier worthy or romad dun Xavier worthy for me his path to playing time in two wide receiver sets is obvious to me I saw him used on pre- Snap motion all the time but yeah like you said we go James Conor earlier uh just so we can have two spots here to draft romad dun draft Xavier worthy Brian Thomas another great one here lad makoni another rookie that we do like especially in full PPR so yeah even though we have James Connor ranked after some of these wide receivers we drafted we just know the ADP and how these things have been flow and by the way full permission to draft Xavier worthy Brian Thomas romad dun reach on these guys by round don't get too greedy we think these guys can be ranked in the 40s 50s 60s overall so if you're in the 80s and these guys are on the board I don't think that you have to be super greedy and try to get these guys at ADP they're so mispriced that I would just say go grab them early so a big reset "Onesie" Positions right now our starting quarterback is Jaylen Herz our starting tight end is Trey McBride we call those the onesie positions because you only basically are able to start one per week unless you're in a super Flex League or you tend to use a tight end at the flex yuck yuck that is difficult to do okay difficult needle to thread uh so since we spent such early draft capital on those players I highly doubt that we are going to draft in their quarterback or draft in their tight end and use those picks on those two positions because if something happens to one of those two guys there we are more likely to stream that position off waivers than we are any other position so then our running back spot right now it's just Devon hn and just James Connor wide receivers CD lamb Nico Collins tank Dell Xavier worthy Roma dun that also includes our Flex spot just in general a rule of fantasy football rookies might start start a bit slower veterans might start a bit quicker and then they go in the two opposite directions with rookies finishing on the best of their first year success and first year production so we are have a nice balance between those two right now if we wanted to take a safe option there are some here I'm tempted just lean into the bit here and go another first round wide receiver Brian Thomas by the way guys we're talking about like 63 210 could run the four threes already playing two wide receiver sets with the Jacksonville Jaguars yes like this guy to me can be an absolute Superstar and then if you notice on the right side teams are drafting their defenses and kickers we're not doing that especially if you're drafting early in or the mid partal part of August just don't draft one at all just draft another rookie see what happens throughout the rest of training camp and then eventually go back to the kickers and defenses I mean don't want to act like everything's aligning for us but even chase Brown as our running back three here that's an auto smash again Chase Brown going around Kendra Miller and Tyler Al here of this group would much other have Chase Brown and as you just mentioned with Brian Thomas that's around Mike Williams Jerry Judy darno money and jacobe Myers I mean this is just an easy selection at this moment a few notes if Late Round Tight Ends you did push your tight in into the later rounds and didn't take one in rounds four round five or round six uh David and joku is one of our personal favorites Hayden what's the stat you always bring up he was the tight end one from week eight on and that's because he was catching a lot of screen passes so that was in half PPR in full PPR that Gap would even been wider I think the Browns are going to throw the ball a ton here so Jake Ferguson and most importantly David and joku would be the top names uh if you were not able to get one of the top five or six tight end yeah David and joku I think has a 91st rank in round eight I think Dallas goddard's an interesting name at 139 overall Pat Fruth at 164 overall because Arthur Smith heavily features tight ends uh and then there's this one name Hayden that as soon as as you enter your draft I believe you all should go to this magnifying glass type in the search feature and bring up Tamm Hill because he has tight end eligibility here on ESPN why should people maybe consider Tamm Hill as their final round pick despite him having a ranking of 206 well Filling The Bench when I was opening up the preseason games he was getting goal line carries at fullback he was getting actual running back carries as well I saw him lined up at ex receiver so new coaching staff but they want to keep the Tes and Hill rooll so uh you never know what's going to go on if you completely punted it I do think that he's an okay last pick round 12 I took Tai Chandler who's going to have a split backfield most likely with Aaron Jones and then here in round 13 just a couple rounds left should we take tames Hill here I'm not sure if I would take Tamm Hill on a Trey McBride team is there a running back a rookie running back let's let's narrow this thing down let's go for some upside a rookie running back that we think that could pop off at maybe later on in the season well I might want to do ray Davis Ray Davis to me is heavily undervalued on every single platform that you draft on for ages the bills have been searching for a compliment to James Cook for a player that succeeds inside the 10 yard line and as good as James Cook is in between the 20s the Buffalo Bills have never wanted to feature him there we've seen Damen Harris we've seen L tavius Murray we even saw ly forette put on the roster last year and now they have this 25-year-old rookie in Ray Davis who is just a powerful powerful train and I think that he can maybe take even some rushing touchdowns away from Josh Allen and be a featured element in the bills offense in that area of the field which is part of high value touches we love touchdowns they make the Fantasy Football World Go Round and Ray Davis this late in round 13 is a smash spot my last deep deep sleeper if you want to show off of your friends especially in full PPR Andre Yoshi Vos your friends couldn't use that search bar and spell his name correctly anyways but Andre Yoshi Vos sat with the Bengals starters he's their slot receiver the Tyler Boyd replacement young big athletic we have a little bit of weirdness going on with Jamar Chase's contract as well I seen that he's like the classic deep deep sleeper with a little bit of a puka AA vibe to him uh if you want to dream big and I do believe that ESPN forces you to take defenses and kickers it might depend on how your league settings are so in this final selection I would like us to just Hammer the point home and finish this and close it out with Tamm Hill uh but hopefully you all have understood just from a roster construction standpoint of what we have aimed to do here today again if you are able to choose your draft slot for us we prefer a top four selection on ESPN that would lock you into one of chrish mcaffrey Bree hall or bejan Robinson uh if you miss on that there's so many other running backs like Isaiah beo or Travis eten or Jonathan Taylor that are going ahead of someone like Devon Anan for us who understand all of your concerns but we believe Hayden that he has a great chance of being the most explosive running back on the most explosive offense in the leag yep that's a goal we're we're trying to win our league not coming forth yes and almost always outliers are what make a fantasy football championship winner and he has a chance of scoring 30 40 50 fantasy points as he did during his rookie season and because of that again wide receiver values that we love Nico Collins Bren nauk Jaylen W Cooper cup Malik neighbors tank Dell all those rookie or seconde wide receivers rushy rice radun Xavier worthy Brian Thomas add those to your queue immediately as soon as you enter the draft and maybe take them consider taking them 12 14 16 spots ahead of ADP because they will be worth it and remember in a full PPR if you've pushed your second running back spot that's totally okay too you can kind of take a Frankenstein approach here you can draft some early season Bellows then pair him with some running backs that have a little bit more upside there our favorite rule here on the show is draft one Bengals or one Cowboys running back see what happens we know the offenses are good and these guys are priced well into the hundreds here so Rico D Chase Brown Zach Moss I guess Zeke Elliott um but the first three names in particular the best way for you to prepare for your home League Draft whether it be ESPN Yahoo or sleeper is one to subscribe to this channel because we
