I'm just going to go ahead and say it.

Pitts is going to be the #2 TE this year and will overtake Kelce by next season. Is that a hot take?

I will start my research in a month and do like 7 fantasy drafts to prepare.

I don't understand the question. Are you saying you could keep your first round pick OR Barkley. Or instead keep your 8th round pick or Allen? Or they are both choices....and all 4 of these players are choices?

I would probably rather have my pick than Barkley, but if you don't know where you pick it's tougher. I think a top 7 pick or so is definitely better and 8-11 or so is probably a little better, and 12-14 is about the same. I would probably keep the pick because I hate rolling the dice on guys who have not been healthy...even though they could rank higher.

In a 14 team league, by the 8th round, Josh Allen would DEFINITELY be gone. He goes earlier than that in 10 team leagues. So I would keep him for sure.

I am unsure about the others. I do love Ekeler and Kelce.

Better draft him with that confidence in our fantasy league.

Do I? I was second place last year. I do my practice a week before when more news is in...in various formats with expert participants.

No way I spend time on podcasts. I have been doing these for over 25 years.

APPRECIATE THE REPLY MY GUY!!!

We keep 1 player in the spot he was drafted in last year...... and I already know I am 6th overall pick in the upcoming draft..... so i either keep Saquon and lose my 6th overall pick... or keep Allen and lose my 8th round pick.... Im leaning towards keeping allen as you mentioned.... but not sure who to draft at 6 after keepers and the top 5 picks which im sure will be all RB.... Do I go Mixo/Ekeler? Or Zag and go kelce?

I have mocked a few where I get Mixon round 1 and Waller round 2 and like the way my team ends up looking with a bunch of solid middle round WRs

I think he should go top 10.

I'd definitely keep Allen. No way he would last until the 8th round in a 14 team draft. That would basically be a pick between 113 and 126. I'm sure his overall ranking is way higher than that.

When is your draft? I haven't looked at things closely yet as my drafts won't be until early September. I love Ekeler but I'm also a Chargers fan. He catches a lot of passes and is a solid runner. They also had one of the worst OLs last year and have a solid one this year, so that will help him a lot.

Do you view him as a top 10 back this year?

I have to look at the rest of the depth charts and stuff. Yes, he will get the bulk of the carries..the other guys will just come in for a change of pace or if he needs to rest. He's probably top 10 when you consider pass catching as well.

Big fan of him.

I just worry about his durability a little. I know he missed some time last year.
