@Yutz91

Dynasty ppr

I have

Rb-cook,gaskins,edmonds

Thomas,julio,lamb,woods,Moore as my wr

Te are smith, pitts

Which wr do I keep? Which do I trade to try and get more depth at rb ?

Which rb is the best vaule right now?

1qb,2rb,3wr,2te,1 flex starting

You definitely need to load up on some depth at the RB position. I’d consider moving Michael Thomas for Joe Mixon, if you can swing it. Thomas probably carries the most name value right now after you factor in Julio’s age and injury history. But each league is different, so put out some feelers and see who you can get for MT.

@geo1012

What are your expectations for David Montgomery this year?

I’m going through my projections right now, so I’ll know more once I finish those rankings. However, I’m not as excited for him as I was last year. Tarik Cohen coming back is going to significantly eat into his receiving workload. He’ll still get a ton of work on the ground, but I’m not viewing him as a top-12 option this year.

First year of dynasty superflex we have done a startup and a rookie draft, I traded with the jamarr chase owner, i gave him miles Sanders and kenny golladay and received tee Higgins and d’andre swift, i then traded tyler boyd for jalen hurts straight up, do you think these moves were as positive for my team as I do?

Hey Kyle! What is your go to source for fantasy football data sets? Would like to start dipping my toe into some basic analysis. Thanks!

We have a ton of stats available at FantasyPros.com that are perfect if you’re wanting to just dip your toe in the water. However, if you want heavy data, I’d recommend PFF, Sharp Football Stats, Football Outsiders, and Next Gen Stats. All are paid subscriptions, I believe.

Hi! In a full point PPR league, I have pick 1.05. I’m probably choosing between between Derrick Henry, and Kamara. Any insight or thoughts? Worried about Henry’s usage and Kamaras QB situation.

[jarndt610]

I have the 1.02 and 1.05 in a 12 Team super flex league, but I am set at QB (I have Lamar, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, and Daniel Jones) what should I do at the 1.02? Should I take Najee?

@misterinfinity

In a dynasty SF PPR who holds more value Akers or Barkley in both short and long term?

It’s still certainly Barkley, but this is a crucial year. He has to prove that he can stay healthy. If he doesn’t, I could easily see Akers surpassing him with that workload.

Hi Kyle, having a hard time deciding whether to take Harris or Pitts at 1.03 in Superflex Rookie draft (assuming both are on the board). I am solid at RB and also have Kittle, but would like to be set at TE for years to come. Your thoughts? Thanks, Grant

I’m loading up at RB wherever I can in Dynasty leagues. With less and less true workhorse backs being available, I want to hoard those types of players if I can. Harris is certainly that, so that’s a pretty easy decision for me.

[geoffwood_12]

Where does cole kmet fall into the tight end rankings? Upside? Etc.

With fields there now I have heard status quo for Allen Robinson, but nothing for kmet!

@evanwpearson

Is it crazy to pass up Ja’Marr Chase at 1.04 if you’re desperate for a RB. Or better to take the best player and figure out roster gaps later?

It’s going to be hard to pass up a true need like that, but I think you have to go for the best available player. This is assuming that Harris and Etienne are off the board, btw. After the draft, see if you can move one of your other WRs on your roster for some RB depth.

[jamesnigrelli]

Currently doing Rookie dynasty draft, this is what I got so far let me know what you think, value, should have or shouldn’t have drafted

1.6- D. Smith
2.6 - St. Brown
2.11 - Eskridge
2.13 - Dyami Brown

Also recieved a draft offer I have dobbins:

Dobbins for 1.5 and 1.7

[SCHUFLAKKA]

What do you think a good trade for zeke would be?
Having a hard time valuing him. Is he still a top tier RB worth trading 2 1st rd picks for?

[kyleyates]

@ofer_froind

Hi there!

I was wondering how you tackle player value for trades. What do you take under consideration, do you think there’s an objective base value to a player, and what is your take on the numerous value charts (such as yours) and other online calculators and how to best use them to set a value.

The purpose of Dynasty Trade Charts/Calculators is to help people get into the same ballpark for value. After that, they’re essentially useless and shouldn’t be considered to try to gauge who “won” the trade, etc. Get into the same ballpark for value and then aim to make your team better. Don’t get caught up in who won or lost the trade. You should simply ask yourself at the end of it whether or not your team got better after the trade. If the answer is yes, don’t think twice about it.

[big16wrestler]

Dak Prescott vs Justin Herbert? for dynasty outlook non super flex.

[wrhopkins]

12-Team Full PPR btw

[amohanty17]

PPR: who is currently number one overall pick?

[kyleyates]

@jblow315

Dynasty league, should I try to get cam Akers and DeAndre swift or keep zeke, Zack moss, singletary & drake?

I prefer depth in my Dynasty leagues, so I honestly might just keep the Zeke side. However, depending on the rest of my roster, I’m not opposed to making that move.

[kyleyates]

@kucoy71

What are your thoughts on Tee Higgins in Dynasty?

Love him. Just finished my projections for this season and there’s more than enough volume in that offense for Higgins and Chase to be top-tier options. Tyler Boyd will still be relevant, but Higgins is a fantastic buy right now if people are panicking.

[kyleyates]

@wrhopkins

Hey Kyle.
I happened to finish well in my friends and I’d March Madness pool so I get to choose my pick, what would you like to have this year, 1,2,3? Or do I switch it up and take a lower pick?

I’m going for the 1.01.
