Episode notes
Pivot Quickly To New Opportunity Players
- When a teammate's injury creates a clear opportunity, pivot aggressively to that prospect (e.g., Ollie Gordon after Madison's injury).
- Avoid sticking with earlier picks purely due to prior draft volume; reevaluate talent profiles continually.
ADP Lags On Known Off-Field News
- ADP often fails to fully price known off-field issues like pending suspensions.
- Summer-long draft markets can remain inefficient for days or weeks after new information emerges.
Reprice Players Independently Late In Drafts
- Reevaluate players at their current ADP regardless of whether you owned them earlier; treat each pick individually.
- Add modest exposure to late-season flyers only if it fits your current portfolio and risk tolerance.
