There were several potential values that came off the board in this area of the draft. But a couple stand out.
Green Bay Packers tight end led all players at his position in yards after the catch last year, scored seven touchdowns and finished 10th in PPR points among tight ends. He’s an excellent target for fantasy managers who fade tight ends until late.
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was a trendy upside pick earlier this summer, but his struggles in training camp appear to have cooled that hype. However, in six starts for the Steelers last year, Fields was sixth in fantasy points among quarterbacks. Just saying.
Time for the piece of advice I offer every year—that many continue to ignore.
In this draft, the first defense was selected in Round 12. The first kicker came off the board the following round. Both are wasted picks—defenses and kickers are wildly unpredictable, and the difference in scoring between top options and lower-end starters is minimal.
Draft a defense with a solid Week 1 matchup in the penultimate round and then stream matchup plays off the waiver wire. Don’t ever draft a kicker before the final round—ever.
Joe Mixon has been nursing an ankle injury for most of the summer. Nick Chubb hasn’t exactly impressed in camp, but there’s still a chance he opens the regular season as the lead back in Houston.
In hindsight, I wish I had drafted Justin Fields in Round 12—said hindsight is always 20/20. But with T.J. Hockenson banged up, getting some quality depth at tight end was a priority. Dalton Kincaid of the Buffalo Bills offers that depth.
The New England Patriots drafted Kyle Williams out of Washington State in the second round of April’s draft. Williams has consistently impressed in training camp—so much so that he has a real chance to open his inaugural season as a starter.
