About this episode
Summary On this episode of The Most Accurate Podcast, TJ Calkins joins Greg for a full helping of draft strategy for best ball leagues. A quick refresher of the format kicks off the show, followed by some top-down thoughts on diversifying player exposure across various best ball drafts. The bulk of the show then drills down into individual positions, starting with running back, followed by defense and quarterback. Is there a contrarian case to be made against Christian McCaffrey as the first overall pick? Does Aaron Jones' fantasy value merit his ADP's rise into the first round? Which 2020 running backs have the best chance of reproducing the types of value spikes that Jones, Austin Ekeler, and Miles Sanders returned drafters in 2019? What other values are there to be had at RB, and how late can those potential values be expected to last in drafts? What is the right number of defenses to draft, and in what rounds is it worth considering them? Which mid-tier and bottom-tier defensive units have the best shot at out-kicking their coverage this season? At what point in a draft do the top quarterbacks become values? Do best ball leagues with an overall prize change the calculus of when to draft passers? How much of a premium should be put on rushing quarterbacks? Which QBs provide the most value relative to their current ADPs, and which should be avoided? When is it correct to stack a quarterback with his offensive teammates? Tune in for takes on all these questions and more.
