Fantasy Sports Talk

They wouldn't be "Sleepers" if we're all targeting them.

I'm focusing on the quality RB handcuffs in the late rounds of my redraft leagues like Charbonnet, Mason, Allen and Guerrendo. I also think George Pickens could have a great year opposite Lamb based on his single coverage stats the last three (3) years.

Picks 1.02 and 1.03 in a Dynasty Rookie Draft...who ya got?

It's an interesting year in that it feels like RBs are going higher in PPR leagues than most years. I think it's because there feels like a pretty bad deadzone after like Omarian Hampton.

There are also a number of later round QBs who could put up monster numbers (Caleb Williams, Dak, etc.).

One thing I do every year is I pull the 2025 season future prop/bets from the betting sites and compare those with the ADP from fantasy sites. They're usually close and they are not analyzing the EXACT same thing but it's close and you find some outliers.

mcmillan is hurt (and was in college) and plays for Carolina. only benefit there is they'll throw. The chargers love to run the ball and Hampton can catch the ball more than Harris. Depends on if they'll play him as the 3rd down back, but when they had a back who could catch the ball (Ekeler), Herbert loved to throw them the ball.

Hunter worries me too much as you never know how many snaps he'll actually play on O. I love Egbuka in a super pass heavy Bucs offense with Evans going to pull coverage off him. Godwin caught over 7 balls a game when he was healthy last year.

don't think you can really go wrong with any of Hampton, Henderson, or Egbuka.

I like Hampton but part of the problem with him is that he is going so early in drafts now. I get worried with him and Harbaugh. Harbaugh loves to run but I can also see scenarios where N. Harris starts taking away redone carries. At that point, is Hampton worth such an early pick? You can get Henderson 2 rounds later and he'll be playing all the passing downs.

I like Egbuka a lot but he's like Hampton in some leagues - he's flaying up there.

I am all-in on Travis Hunter. They didn't trade up in the draft to not play him a lot on offense. They didn't do that for a corner (IMO). I trust Lawrence more than I should and everyone should trust Liam Cohen. I am buying Jacksonville players (outside of BTJ because he's going so high) because I think that offense puts up a lot of points, plays fast, and they've invested in that group.

For that reason, I also like Ettiene where he is going. He is a better receiver than Bigsby and could be that poor man's version of BuckO Irving. He is going late.

Yeah the Hampton talk was only for a rookie only draft. Wouldn’t touch him where he’s going in standard

The Hunter thought it’s reasonable, I just see them leaning more heavily on him being out there every defensive snap
