445. Draft capital matters and pre-draft best-ball targets/fades
06/04/2022 Duration: 01h17minHost Ian Hartitz is joined by PFF vice president of fantasy football vibes Dwain McFarland to break down some of the guy's findings on draft capital and best-ball targets. Ian starts things off by going over his latest article for PFF . com, concluding that fantasy footballers are largely better off only attacking players drafted inside of the top-three rounds regardless of position. After about 30 minutes Dwain briefly hears out Ian's complaint that everyone is over-reacting to Zeke's underwhelming, but injury-induced, second half of the season before the guys move on to some best-ball targets. Dwain leads the charge and goes through which quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends he's straddling (pause), avoiding, or targeting before the draft. It was a great day to be great on the PFF Fantasy Football Podcast.
