Mostert up in years now & his own injury history . Achane runs violently for a smallish back ,hence frequent injuries. There’s a reason Miami moved up for Jaylen Wright
I had a powerhouse draft last year. Pick 14 1. Pollard 2. Henry 3. Mixon 4. Andrews 5. Waddle 6. Evans 7. Justin Fields I thought I was gonna smash. I finished 10 out of 14. It was absolutely my own fault. I hated the picks honestly, but when you are pick 14. You literally get the left overs. Gah damn it was a bad year.
I agree with Diontae being a steal but I think Zay can still be solid and the fact they didn’t bring in anyone shows they trust him and he has little competition even if volume is low, even if he’s more of a low end 2 I can get him in the 6th often
22 vs 32.That’s the age of Achane and Mostert, and the reason Achane is going 5 rounds ahead of Mostert. That makes since to me given that age 27 is viewed as the age RBs begin to fall off.
I’d encourage you to look into Raheem Mosterts career attempts vs the average 32 year old RB. Mostert doesn’t have many miles on his body, in that sense his body is still very young. He talked about that himself in many interviews this offseason and last season. Also, if this team was worried about his age, I don’t see why they’d give him a contract extension this offseason 😅
@@FantasyLandFootball Mostert had the most carries he ever had in a season last year, following a season in which he also had a career high in carries. That worries me if I'm counting on a 32 year old rb. Miami is also in their superbowl window, so it does not surprise me that they resigned Mostert. They want and need options. They also drafted Jaylen Wright which tells me they too could be concerned about Mostert's age.
I agree with your takes these are good players being overvalued. I have Laporta for a keeper in round 9 and in my dynasty so I don't have to pay his ridiculous price to keep him. Anyone taking him as a top 24 fantasy player is cookoo nutts.
Completely agree on the changing of the TE landscape. It used to be a decided advantage to grab Kelce or even Andrews. There are now at least half a dozen players at that position who could end up as TE 1 overall.
I think a lot of people including myself like Stroud over the others because he’s the shiny new toy and he’s getting Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell and last season Dell missed time and Diggs wasn’t there also missed time with concussion so that QB11 finish in 2023 will shoot up in 2024!
I definitely think it can as well! I just don’t have the same belief with his lack of rushing upside and would rather build my teams an alternate way 😅
totally understand!! BTW, if i could choose 1 of Zay or Diontae, it would be a no brainer to take Zay but just based on price, I think you'll get a similar outcome
Stroud has 2 things going against him .#1- last years O-line marginal and this years maybe more suspect . #2- they fought in one of the worst locker room cancers they possibly could have Diggs ! honorable mention- no last place schedule
Those are not alternate options. You're talking about people that go in completely different parts of the draft. Just because I don't take Puka doesn't mean I'm automatically going to be able to take Cupp. That doesn't make any sense. Alternate options would be, who do you think I should take at the end of the first round instead of Puka? That might actually be helpful.
I’ve not been in a single draft where Love or Burrow go that early. Are you referring to 1QB Re-draft leagues? The data I’m presenting is collecting from ADP of Underdog, Sleeper & ESPN which has thousands of draft data points 🙏🏼
Great stuff again. While I do think Stroud continues to improve it is crazy he's going 4-5 rounds earlier than guys who are locks to have good years. Stroud is headed to the 80s. And even that I think is a little early.
For me achane and mostert are both good bets, at their respective ADP's, because of two words: regression and ceiling. Positive regression in the case of achane, and the opposite direction in the case of mostert. Yes, mostert is a better value from 2023 extrapolated yards for 17 games(1300 for mostert/1500 for achane) but achanes ceiling is a top 5 overall fantasy player with a(small) chance at 1st overall , while mosterts ceiling is probably more like a top 20 overall and that's probably being quite generous especially if achane stays healthy, because in my opinion mostert did what he did mainly BECAUSE achane got hurt. Yes mostert is a good value, but my overall point is achanes ADP is totally justified. And really why not both?!
I guess I just don’t fully agree with the way you are projecting this backfield. I don’t think Mostert’s success relies on whether or not Achane is healthy. I see both of them as a crucial part of this backfield personally BUT I can definitely respect it 🙏🏼
I can tell you why Stroud is going higher than he should be. It’s simple in most drafts you will have 3 different teams with WRs that stack well with Stroud. Each round you have 3 teams that need to pass on that stack.
