Episode notes
Avoid Malik Nabers At Cost
- Avoid drafting Malik Nabers at cost if you need immediate production this season.
- Jake Ciely cites Nabers' late surgery, uncertain Week 1 availability, and preferred players (Collins, Olave, Rice) ahead of him as reasons to push him down three spots.
PUP Status Will Depress Nabers' Draft Value
- Expect Nabers' ADP to fall if he lands on the Physically Unable to Perform list in early season drafts.
- Andrew Erickson notes platforms will flag medical alerts, making Nabers a poor best-ball target while his price remains high.
Don't Pay For Davante Adams' Touchdown Spike
- Do not draft Davante Adams at his mid WR2 price expecting last year's touchdown-heavy performance to repeat.
- Andrew Erickson points to age (33), low catch rate, Stafford's career-high TD rate, and efficiency regression risk as reasons to downgrade Adams.
