Round 1 · Pick 3 $0.1172

Ja'Marr Chase

WR · CIN

Selection reasoning

With Gibbs and Bijan off the board, Ja'Marr Chase is the cleanest remaining championship spine. Clay WR1 / FP ADP 3 in half-PPR; elite 2025 target volume (~185) with Burrow; CIN WR1 on the depth chart; bye 6. 8/25 left-knee scare was a hyperextension Chase said he could have practiced through. Prefer him over Puka (groin + unconfirmed discipline risk) and over remaining RBs (Taylor/CMC) who are not Gibbs/Bijan-tier. Next pick 22 is the every-week RB.

Round 2 · Pick 22 $0.5421

Kyren Williams

RB · LAR

Selection reasoning

Hampton and KW3 gone in an RB run (12 RBs already off). Kyren is the remaining every-week RB1: LAR DC RB1, bye 11, 2025 17 GP / 259-1252-10 rush + 36-281-3 rec (55.7% rush share). FFToday/Rotoballer ~226-231 half-PPR; CBS treats him as low-end RB1. Prefer his proven volume/GL role over Love (high-ankle, Wk14 bye in semis, Allgeier/Conner) and Jacobs (likely NFL suspension + groin). Pickens/Olave can wait 5 spots; taking WR here risks a starting-RB hole. Next 27 is WR2.

Round 3 · Pick 27 $0.4030

George Pickens

WR · DAL

Selection reasoning

WR2 locked: George Pickens over Olave/Love/Allen. 2025 17 GP, 93-1429-9 on 137 targets in Dallas; Clay 16.1 PPG with Lamb (~WR8 pace), 18 EZ targets. FFC ADP 19.9 / Rotoballer rank 20 / Rotoballer ~215 HPPR. Franchise-tagged, at camp, DAL WR2 behind Lamb. Prefer him to Olave (5 documented concussions, 8 GP in 2024, last in YAC, Shough, TD regression) despite Olave’s WR1 role and bye 8. Week 14 DAL bye hits semis — cover with later WR/flex rather than taking a lesser WR2 now. Love still HAS + same Wk14 bye; take RB2 at 46. Nabers ACL not worth it vs a healthy WR2. Next 46/51: RB2 then WR3/Loveland.

Round 4 · Pick 46 $0.7841

Quinshon Judkins

RB · CLE

Selection reasoning

RB2 locked: Quinshon Judkins. CLE DC RB1, bye 11. 2025 14 GP, 230-827-7 (66% rush share) + 26-171-0 rec; Clay RB19 / FP ADP 45 / FFC 51.4. FFT 275-1098-7 + 30 rec (~188 HPPR); Rotoballer 302-1214-8 (~210). Best remaining every-week volume over Tuten (committee vs Rodriguez, 83-307-5 as ETN backup) and Monty (HOU vs Marks, ~176-182). Wk15/16 '25 fibula+dislocated ankle; 8/15 preseason 4 carries and minicamp reports he looked explosive. Camp "nagging" (Monken) is monitor-not-sit. Wk11 stacks Kyren — cover with Chase/Pickens. Playoff weeks 14-17 available vs Pickens Wk14 bye. Next 51 is WR3 (McConkey/Adams/Jamo).

Round 5 · Pick 51 $0.6360

Davante Adams

WR · LAR

Selection reasoning

WR3: Davante Adams over Jamo/Moore/Odunze/Tuten. Clay WR19 / FFC ADP 37.8 best remaining WR; LAR DC WR2; 2025 14 GP 60-789-14 on 114 tgt (27 EZ, 24.8% share). FFT 70-911-10 (~186 HPPR) vs Jamo ~188 but Clay 17 vs 27 and cleaner camp. Age-33 / Puka-capped volume accepted; TD floor + Stafford chemistry (8/20) + Puka scare upside. Bye 11 stacks Kyren+Judkins — Wk11 hole vs Chase-only; cover with later non-11 RB3/WR4. Playoff plus: available 14-17, covers Pickens Wk14 semi, Kyren stack in two-week PO. Jamo 17 GP 65-1117-7 / 90% snaps / bye 6 with Chase is close but mid-camp shoulder (full 8/19; later Sunday DNP uncertain) and weaker EZ profile. Moore is BUF WR1 but 2025 50-682-6. Tuten FFT ~207 is RB3 at 70 if he lasts. Next 70: Tuten/Monty/Warren then Moore/Odunze; QB 70-99; no extra LAR/CLE 11 or DAL 14.

Round 6 · Pick 70 $0.8541

J.K. Dobbins

RB · DEN

Selection reasoning

RB3/flex: J.K. Dobbins over Stevenson/Dowdle/WR. DEN DC RB1, bye 10 — the remaining lead-back who actually plays Week 11 when Kyren+Judkins+Adams are all out. 2025: 10 GP, 153-772-4 (57% rush share, 51% snaps) before a season-ending injury; Payton called the 2yr/$16M re-sign a priority. FFT 206-988-7 (~159 HPPR) and Rotoballer ~177 beat Dowdle’s FFT (~145) and Harvey’s change-of-pace projection. Stevenson has better ADP/FFT but bye 11 fails the hole. Dowdle is a PIT 50/50 behind Warren. Injury/Harvey/Coleman is the tax; FAAB Harvey if Dobbins goes down. Next 75 is WR4 (Sutton/Pierce/Metcalf/Parker/BTJ); no extra bye 11 or DAL/ARI 14 if a similar WR exists.

Round 7 · Pick 75 $0.9417

Courtland Sutton

WR · DEN

Selection reasoning

WR4: Courtland Sutton. DEN DC WR1, bye 10. 2025 17 GP 124-74-1017-7 (21% share, 86% snaps); Clay WR29 / FFC 59.3 / FFT ~158 HPPR. Waddle is a 1B cut but Sutton was Nix’s top target two years running and a four-year EZ-target monster — CBS still a R7 WR3. Bye 10 stacks Dobbins, but Wk10 still has Kyren/Judkins/Chase/Pickens/Adams; Wk11 (Kyren+Judkins+Adams out) starts Dobbins+Chase+Pickens+Sutton; Wk14 covers Pickens. Prefer him to Pierce (PUP ankle, 8/25 still out, 4-game miss risk), Metcalf (Pittman+Rodgers, 2025 99-59-850), Parker (DC WR2, FFT ~142), and MHJ (bye 14 stacks Pickens). Next 94: TE not bye 11 (LaPorta/Kittle/Kelce/Goedert) then QB TLaw/Purdy/Herbert.

Round 8 · Pick 94 $0.4489

Dallas Goedert

TE · PHI

Selection reasoning

TE locked: Dallas Goedert. PHI DC TE1, bye 10. Last remaining every-week TE1 after LaPorta/Kittle/Kelce/Pitts. 2025 15 GP, 60-591-11 on 82 targets, 85% snaps; FFT 58-625-6 (~128 HPPR) / Rotoballer 67-691-6. TD regression from 11 is priced in (Clay xTD 5.1) but AJ Brown is now in NE, so the red-zone role stays. Bye 10 stacks Dobbins+Sutton — Wk10 still has Kyren/Judkins/Chase/Pickens/Adams; Wk11 and Wk14 (Pickens) both have Goedert. Prefer him to Pittman (best leftover WR, Clay WR30) because TE plays every week and the next TEs are Andrews (62% snaps), Likely (NYG), and Kincaid. Seats 1-2 already have Bowers/McBride so a WR may fall at 99, but missing the last locked TE1 is the championship leak. Next 99: Purdy > Mahomes > Goff/Dart; skip Stafford 11 and Nix 10.

Round 9 · Pick 99 $0.4432

Brock Purdy

QB · SF

Selection reasoning

QB locked: Brock Purdy. SF DC QB1, bye 8 (team evidence OBSERVED). FFC ADP 88.4 / Clay QB11 / FFT 4159-26-13 + 286-3 (~291 HPPR); Rotoballer 4390-31-12 + 289-3 (~323). 2025 9 GP (toe+shoulder) but 20 pass TD in those 9 and a Wks 15-17 spike that maps to our two-week playoffs. Evans/Kittle/CMC/Deebo/Stribling is the best remaining supporting cast. Prefer him to Dart (Clay QB7, 86-487-9 rush, FFT ~297) because Dart had 5 concussion checks + 2 missed games as a rookie and an 8/16 protocol request — a 1QB no-trade championship leak. Mahomes fully cleared but tore ACL/LCL Wk15 '25 and FFT ~285. Stafford bye 11 stacks Kyren/Judkins/Adams; Nix bye 10 3-stacks DEN. Only Seat 11 also lacks a QB, but 19 picks is too long to risk losing the QB we actually want. Next 118: WR5 (Downs/Worthy/Addison) not extra bye 11.

Round 10 · Pick 118 $0.3899

Stefon Diggs

Selection reasoning

WR5: Stefon Diggs. Highest remaining FFC ADP (95.3) and the Wk11/Wk14 cover this roster needs. Aug 5-7 Commanders signing + Aug 22 expected to play; WSH WR2 behind McLaurin (catalog still UNATTACHED; DC unnamed WR2 maps to that role). 2025 NE 85-1k, Rotoballer 75-85 rec / 750-900 as possession WR2. Age-33 / low-TD / legal history is why he lasted; we already have Chase/Pickens/Adams TDs. Prefer him to Shakir (Clay WR43 but Moore/Coleman squeeze, FFT ~137) because Diggs will not survive 5 picks. Skip Pearsall (IR 2026), Doubs/Jeudy bye 11, Deebo/Coker lower floor. Next 123: RB4 Marks/Spears/Rodriguez/Coleman (not extra bye 11 or ARI 14).

Round 11 · Pick 123 $0.2568

Woody Marks

RB · HOU

Selection reasoning

RB4 locked: Woody Marks. HOU DC RB2, team bye 8 OBSERVED. Rodriguez gone at 121; Wk11 still needs a second RB starter (Kyren+Judkins bye 11) and WR cannot fill the RB slot. 2025: 16 GP, 196-703-2 rush + 24-208-3 rec, 52% snaps. Clay RB42 / FFC ADP 139.9 best remaining RB; FFT ~106 / Rotoballer ~114 HPPR. Jane Slater: split lead-back reps with Monty; Ryans Y2 jump; preseason opening-drive TD. Prefer him to Spears (Pollard + Singleton committee, Clay RB45) and Kamara (ETN lead, age/retirement tax, CBS R11+). Shakir Clay WR43 / FFT ~137 is BPA on points but we already have 5 WRs; Seat 2 is RB-starved and Marks will not last 19 picks. Next 142: Shakir/Higgins WR6 or Coleman cuff; no extra bye 11 or ARI 14.

Round 12 · Pick 142 $0.3171

Khalil Shakir

WR · BUF

Selection reasoning

WR6: Khalil Shakir. Highest remaining weekly flex — Clay WR43 / FFC ADP 107.3 / FFT+Rotoballer ~137 HPPR. BUF DC WR2, bye 7 (only stacks Diggs). 2025 16 GP 72-719-4 on 95 tgt (21% share, 60% snaps). Moore squeeze is priced in (85-105 tgt); still a locked slot target in an elite Allen offense. Prefer him to Kamara (~107, ETN committee) and Coleman (DEN RB3 behind Harvey, ~50 HPPR, same bye as Dobbins so not a Wk10 cover). Higgins is a Y2 dart with bye 8 stacking Purdy/Marks. Seat 1 is WR-needy in the next 4 picks so Shakir will not last. Next 147: Kamara/Tracy/Pacheco RB5 or Higgins; K/DST 166/171.

Round 13 · Pick 147 $1.1045

Tyrone Tracy Jr.

RB · NYG

Selection reasoning

RB5 last skill: Tyrone Tracy Jr. NYG DC RB2 (ESPN 8/28 still ahead of Najee), bye 8. 2025 15 GP 176-740-2 + 36-288-2; last-5 ~49% rush share. FFT ~91 HPPR / Roto ~70 prices in Skattebo+Najee. Prefer him to Shaheed (FFC 119 / ~119-127 HPPR, SEA WR2, bye 11) because we already have 6 WR and Wk11 still needs a 3rd RB if Dobbins or Marks slips (Kyren+Judkins both out). Wk8 stacks Purdy/Marks — still 3 RB. Skip McMillan (camp knee, TB WR3), Higgins ACL, Pacheco back/MCL, Pearsall IR. Next 166/171 K/DST (PHI/DET/LAC/MIN/NE).

Round 14 · Pick 166 $0.2655

Minnesota Vikings D/ST

DST · MIN

Selection reasoning

DST locked: Minnesota. Best remaining set-and-forget in PA+sack+TO scoring. FFC ADP 109.8, Rotoballer DST5, Pitcherlist DST6. 2025 top-5 fantasy D: 49 sacks, league-high 13 FR, 7.8 FPPG, 3rd DVOA, 19.6 PA — Flores blitz still the engine after Greenard. Bye 6 only stacks Chase; Wk11 (Kyren/Judkins/Adams out) still has MIN. Prefer over NE (Clay DST9 but bye 11 hits our hole), DET (Roto DST24), JAX (22 sacks, boom/bust). Seats 1-2 still need DST so MIN would not last. K at 171: McLaughlin/Butker, not Mevis 11 or Reichard 6.

Round 15 · Pick 171 $0.2620

Harrison Butker

K · KC

Selection reasoning

K locked: Harrison Butker. KC DC K1, bye 5 OBSERVED — the only remaining every-week kicker who does not stack Purdy Wk8 (Pineiro), Chase+MIN Wk6 (McPherson), or last-seeding Wk13 (Loop). Clay K7 / ESPN ADP 145.5 / Yahoo 131.4; 2025 17 GP 33/38 FG (5/8 from 50+) + 31 XP. Wk5 empty-K only with full skill; Wk11 (Kyren/Judkins/Adams out) and Wk14-17 playoffs all have Butker. Prefer him to McLaughlin (FFC 148, 11/11 from 50+ but Clay K14 and bye 10 stacks Dobbins/Sutton/Goedert) and Boswell (bye 9, 2025 27/32). Pineiro is Clay K6 / Roto K7 but Wk8 empty QB+K is the H2H leak.

Seat 3/12 | 2026 half-PPR snake | NO TRADES | picks 3,22,27,46,51,70,75,94,99,118,123,142,147,166,171

1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/2FLEX/1K/1DST/5BN. 4pt pass TD. Seeds 1-3 H2H (pts then PA); seed 4 leftover pts. Two-week PO 14-17. Spine: 3-4 RB + 4-5 WR. Never 3rd QB/TE early. Never leave a starting hole. 2RB+2WR on roster by pick 51.

Pick 3 order (unless news breaks)

Chase > Puka > Bijan/Gibbs ONLY if 1-2 went WR-WR. Never JSN/Taylor/CMC/ARSB over Chase/Puka.

Chase CIN bye 6: Clay WR1; FFC 3.9 / FP 3. Cleanest elite WR + Burrow. Smash if both sit.
Puka LAR bye 11: FFC 3.0 / Rotoballer WR2 / FP 4. 2025 129-1715-10 despite Adams. Stafford staying. Groin: Rams not rushing (ESPN 8/17). Schefter: possible NFL discipline (biting) — Wk1 miss possible, NOT a confirmed ban. Discount vs Chase; still take if Chase gone.
JSN FFC 5.2 is the 4-5 consolation, not ours.

Pick 22 = every-week RB (hero WR then RB)

Likely gone: Gibbs/Bijan/JT/CMC/Cook/Henry/Achane/Jeanty/Chase Brown/Saquon. Priority if available:

Hampton LAC bye 7 — DC RB1 over Mitchell/Vidal. FFC 24.2 / FP 16. Best remaining 3-down profile. Smash.
KW3 KC bye 5 — DC RB1. FFC 21.2 / FP 17. $45M/3yr; Chiefs want to run more. Injury history + pass-down committee. Still take over Jacobs/Love/Rice.
Kyren LAR bye 11 — FFC 27.2 / FP 27. Volume; Corum + Puka/Adams cannibalize receiving. Fine if Hampton/KW3 gone.

Jacobs GB bye 11 DEMOTE: May 2026 arrest (domestic; 2 felony strangulation listed in public records; investigation ongoing, no formal WI charges as of 8/26 Rotoballer). Gutekunst: team preparing for possible suspension. Minor groin (limited 8/24). FFC 24.9 still treats him as RB2 — we do not. Take only if Hampton+KW3+Kyren gone AND no Olave/Nico/AJB/Pickens, or as 27 value. Love ARI bye 14: 3rd overall, high-ankle (Schefter 8/17 rest of preseason; hopeful Wk1 vs LAC). Allgeier FA bellcow path. Fair at 27 if falling; need a Wk1 starter later. Week 14 bye hits semis — slight PO negative. Do NOT take Allen/Bowers/McBride at 22 unless the four RBs above + Love all gone AND no WR2 of Olave/Nico/AJB/Pickens/Flowers. Rice: FFC 15.2 vs Rotoballer 37 / FP 32. Prior 6g susp served; jail missed OTAs; May knee-scope; further NFL action unconfirmed. Never a 22 lock; fade vs cleaner RB/WR2 even at 27.

Pick 27 then 46/51

If 22=RB, lean WR2: Olave (FFC 23.7), leftover Nico/AJB/Pickens, Flowers (26), McMillan (31), G.Wilson (31.5), DeVonta (31.8), Egbuka (33.7). Nabers: ACL 2025, 8/17 full-speed “felt good” — BPA only, not over Hampton/KW3/Kyren. Second RB if Hampton/KW3/Kyren still there. Love/Jacobs/Javonte/Breece/Skattebo/ETN-NO are 27-46 range. TE: McBride FFC 37.7 vs FP 23; Bowers FFC 43.1 vs FP 22. Take only if they slide to 27/46 AND RB/WR already started. Else prefer Loveland CHI bye 10 (FFC 61.7 / Clay TE3 / FP 42) over Warren IND bye 13 (FFC 72.4 / Clay TE4 / FP 51). Loveland: 2025 10th overall, late-season 12 tgt/20 PPG surge; DJ Moore gone. Warren: 76 rec as rookie, Jones-dependent (13.1 vs 6.3 PPG), Pittman gone. Target Loveland 46/51; Warren 51/70. Cliff after: Fannin/Pitts ~83-84 FFC, Kraft 98.5, LaPorta 110. QB 1QB/4pt: Maye FFC 50.9, Lamar 55.5, Burrow 56.8, Dak 66.1, Daniels 70.2, Stafford 76, Hurts 78.8. One QB enough. Chase+Burrow or Puka+Stafford later is fine, not a reach. Do not take Allen at 22 (FFC 32.8 vs FP 19).

Mid/late (70+)

RB: Javonte DAL bye 14, Breece NYJ 13, Skattebo NYG 8, ETN-NO 8, Swift CHI 10, Irving TB 10, Judkins CLE 11, Tuten JAX 7, Monty-HOU 8, Henderson NE 11, Jaylen Warren PIT 9, Stevenson NE 11, Pollard TEN 9, Price SEA 11, Dowdle PIT 9, Dobbins DEN 10, Hubbard/Brooks CAR 5. Handcuffs: Hampton→Mitchell (FFC ~147.5) / Vidal; KW3→Emmett Johnson; Jacobs→Lloyd (late); Love→Allgeier; Kyren→Corum (~121). WR: Adams-LAR 37.8, Jamo 40.1, McConkey 40.9, McLaurin 44.7, DJ Moore-BUF 47.5, Waddle-DEN 48.1, then Odunze/Evans-SF/Watson/Pierce/Sutton/Burden. K/DST last two (166/171). Never before R13. FFC inflates SEA/DEN/HOU DST to 80-102 — ignore. Stream FAAB; late targets PIT/PHI/BAL/LAC if falling.

Byes (Clay 8/18 and 8/24 — confirm with getplayerbye_evidence at pick time)

ARI 14, ATL 11, BAL 13, BUF 7, CAR 5, CHI 10, CIN 6, CLE 11, DAL 14, DEN 10, DET 6, GB 11, HOU 8, IND 13, JAX 7, KC 5, LAC 7, LAR 11, LV 13, MIA 6, MIN 6, NE 11, NO 8, NYG 8, NYJ 13, PHI 10, PIT 9, SEA 11, SF 8, TB 10, TEN 9, WSH 7. Avoid stacking two starters on same bye if easy alt. Wk14 ARI/DAL bye hits semis — slight negative for Love/Lamb/Pickens/Javonte as PO-week missing.

Hygiene / process

Prefer FFC half-PPR ADP + Rotoballer editorial + Clay color. FP composite = Yahoo/Sleeper/RTSports — don’t triple-count. Underdog=best ball. CBS/ESPN ADP often full-PPR. Frozen: news 2026-08-27; depth thru 8/18; outlooks thru 8/19. Open articles; headlines ≠ full text. Live pick research: 5 searchweb + 5 opensearch_result per pick.

2026 team context (re-check if drafting)

KW3-KC, AJB-NE, ETN-NO, Monty-HOU, Evans-SF, DJ Moore-BUF, Waddle-DEN, Kyler-MIN, Love-ARI, Hampton-LAC, Jeanty-LV, Pickens-DAL.

First-round flow we expect

1-2: Gibbs, Bijan. 3: us (Chase or Puka). 4-5: leftover Chase/Puka/JSN. 6: Taylor or CMC. 7: ARSB or other workhorse. 8-12: Cook/Henry/Achane/London/Lamb/Jefferson/Jeanty/Brown/Rice. Pick 22 is RB2/WR2, not RB1 — plan for it.

Contingencies

If 1-2 go WR-WR: smash Bijan/Gibbs.
If Chase+Puka both gone (unlikely): JSN then still RB at 22.
If 22 RB board is wasteland: Olave/Nico/AJB/Pickens, then RB at 27.
If McBride/Bowers at 27 with 1 RB already: still prefer second RB/WR unless the TE is clearly last elite.
FAAB: stream K/DST; chase injury handcuffs (Lloyd, Mitchell, Allgeier, Corum, Emmett Johnson).

OUR BYE HITS W5 Butker (KC) W6 Chase (CIN) + MIN DST W7 Diggs (WSH-treated) + Shakir (BUF) W8 Purdy (SF) + Marks (HOU) + Tracy (NYG) W10 Dobbins + Sutton (DEN) + Goedert (PHI) W11 Kyren + Adams (LAR) + Judkins (CLE) W14 Pickens (DAL) — PLAYOFF SEMI game 1 No W9/W12/W13 holes. Avoided Stafford 11, Nix 10, Loop 13, Pineiro 8, Reichard 6, Mevis 11.

COVERAGE W5: stream K only. Skill full. Drop Shakir or Tracy for 1-week K; prefer drop Shakir if RB health is shaky because Wk11 still needs 3 RBs. Reclaim after. W6: stream DST. BUF @LV is the leftover prize (FFC ADP 161.6). Alt: KC vs LAC (Clay DST11 leftover). GB vs DAL not in reviewed DST catalog. Do not stream drafted DST (HOU/DEN/SEA/LAR/PIT/BAL/LAC/PHI/JAX/NE/DET). W7: WR depth covers (Chase/Pickens/Adams/Sutton). No action. W8: stream QB. Remaining 3 RB (Kyren/Judkins/Dobbins) fill 2RB+FLEX. Love GB vs CAR is the leftover 1QB (FFC 150.5 / Roto 110 / Clay QB22). Alts: Daniel Jones @JAX (Clay QB19), Rodgers PIT vs CLE, Ward TEN vs CLE. Avoid Stroud (HOU bye). W10: stream TE. Engram/Otton/Kmet also bye 10 — useless. Target Brenton Strange JAX @TEN (Clay TE21, FFC 170.3, Roto 143) or Schultz HOU @CLE (Clay TE23). Drop Shakir not Tracy. W11 FILLED without adds: Dobbins + Marks + Tracy; Chase + Pickens + Sutton/Diggs/Shakir; Goedert; Purdy; Butker; MIN. W14: Adams/Sutton/Diggs cover Pickens. Do not stream a DAL player.

STACK WEEKS (own) LAR Kyren+Adams: W1 SF, W5 BUF, W12 GB, W13 KC, W14 @SF, W15 DAL, W16 @SEA, W17 @TB. DEN Dobbins+Sutton: useful except W10 bye. W11 vs LV is the Wk11 RB1 game. SF Purdy vs LAR W14: start Purdy + Kyren + Adams anyway (two-week semi).

ANTI-STARTS to ignore (start our guys anyway) W14 Chase vs KC and Butker @CIN. W15 Pickens @LAR vs Kyren/Adams — start all three; two-week scoring.

PRIORITY CUFFS (catalog)

Dylan Sampson CLE RB2 — player_111753f84010b84b417b8d7c

DC rank 2 behind Judkins (8/18). Clay RB54 / FFC ADP 174.5 / Roto 185. Judkins 2025 ankle+fibula history + 8/24 "nagging" then back at practice (draft-time notes). Bid 8-12% stash if unowned Week 1. If Judkins misses a game: 20-30%. Bye 11 (same as Judkins — does not cover Wk11, only injury).

Najee Harris — player_07fc8e7549259fc8be91d8dd catalog UNATTACHED. Clay RB84 bye=8 / Roto 282. Only if he lands on NYG/HOU/CLE. Do not bid blindly.
Tyler Badie DEN RB4 — player_2a1cfb34d6f2fd1744b39e51 (DC 8/18). Only if Harvey+Coleman both gone and Dobbins injured. Spec $1-3.

Raheim Sanders CLE RB3 player_8db01836075f6ce08f88dbc9 is on CLE DC but not in reviewed ranking catalog — treat as last-resort, $0-1. Jawhar Jordan HOU RB3 and Devin Singletary NYG RB3 appeared on 8/18 depth chart; Singletary/Jordan IDs failed reviewed ranking catalog. Do not plan bids on unreviewed IDs; re-search at FAAB time.

TE STASH (calendar, not cuff) Brenton Strange player2d0c2890aa65af1b5afb5e1e JAX — Wk10 Goedert cover. Bid 3-7% in Wk9 window. Schultz player98938f95010b6790c6a88c2a HOU alt (bye 8, plays Wk10). Skip Engram/Otton (bye 10).

QB STASH Do not roster a 2nd QB until Purdy news. Wk7-8 window: Jordan Love player3155020a1d45271322a1d3f4. Daniel Jones player2d1ff534277715a6e97c0c7f if Love gone. Bid 2-6% for one week.

DROP ORDER (if we must add) 1 Shakir (WR6, already have 5 WR) except do not drop him if we are already thin at WR that week. 2 Tracy (RB5) — NEVER drop before Wk11 is played. 3 Marks only if Monty has fully buried him AND we have 3 other healthy RBs. Never drop Chase/Kyren/Pickens/Judkins/Adams/Goedert/Purdy/Butker/MIN without a replacement already in the slot.

BID DISCIPLINE

Save 40%+ for a league-winning RB injury (Judkins/Kyren/Dobbins).
Do not bid on extra WR unless Chase or Pickens misses multiple weeks.
Never bid against ourselves for streaming DST/K above $3 unless the matchup is BUF@LV quality.
Confirm FAAB remaining on the league UI each window; these % are of original $100.

Preseason role/injury flags as of frozen news 2026-08-27 plus depth charts through 2026-08-18. Re-check each FAAB/lineup window.

HIGH Judkins (CLE DC RB1): 2025 Wk15/16 fibula + dislocated ankle (14 GP, 230-827-7, 66% rush share). Draft notes: 8/15 preseason 4 carries; 8/24 back practicing after 2-day nagging. Monitor every practice report. Cuff = Sampson (DC RB2). If inactive, Sampson is the FAAB, not Sanders.

Dobbins (DEN DC RB1 over Harvey/Coleman): 2025 10 GP then season-ending injury. Re-signed 2yr. Durability is the roster's biggest non-bye risk. Harvey owned Seat 9 — if Dobbins goes down we bid Harvey only if Seat 9 cuts him (unlikely). Badie is DC RB4 last resort. 8/22 "I feel great" is stale camp talk — verify Week 1.

Purdy (SF DC QB1): 2025 9 GP (toe + shoulder) but 20 pass TD in those 9 and a Wk15-17 spike. Camp reports called him consistent. Backup Mac Jones on 8/18 DC; Mac Jones not in reviewed search catalog. If Purdy sits, FAAB Love/Jones/Rodgers not an unreviewed backup.

MED Diggs: catalog UNATTACHED as of identity snapshot. ESPN 8/5 sources-to-sign + 8/7 "settles in with Commanders" headlines (HEADLINEOREXCERPT only). Clay bye 7 matches WSH. WSH DC 8/18 has unnamed WR2 slot (espnPlayerId 2976212) which is consistent with a late signing not mapped. Role = WR2 behind McLaurin (Seat 2). Age-33, low-TD, legal history. Floor not ceiling. If unsigned or cut, drop immediately.

Tracy (NYG DC RB2 behind Skattebo 8/18): 2025 15 GP 176-740-2 + 36-288-2. Skattebo is Seat 11. Tracy is a handcuff/committee, not a locked RB3 except Wk11.

Marks (HOU DC RB2 behind Monty Seat 4): 2025 16 GP 196-703-2 + 24 rec. Jane Slater camp note (draft-time) split reps. If Monty dominates, Marks is Wk11-only.

Adams age-33 / Puka-capped. Still start vs all but bye. Puka is Seat 4 — if Puka misses, Adams is a smash WR1.

LOW / MONITOR Chase 8/25 left-knee hyperextension he said he could have practiced through (draft note). Treat as healthy until tagged. Pickens franchise-tagged, DAL WR2 behind Lamb. No injury flag. Goedert: AJ Brown now NE; red-zone role should hold. TD regression from 11 is priced. Kyren: Corum Seat 7 is the only real committee threat. Start Kyren always.

WEEK 1 CHECKLIST (next epoch) 1 Confirm Diggs on WSH 53-man. 2 Judkins practice participation. 3 Dobbins practice participation vs Harvey. 4 Purdy first-team reps / no toe limitation. 5 MIN D/ST starting front (Greenard status). 6 Butker no camp miss.

Seat-by-seat notes from the final draft board. No trades. H2H seeds 1-3 plus points seed 4. Who can beat us in two-week playoffs.

12 teams, snake, 15 rounds, NO TRADES. Our seat 3.

HOW WE WIN

Weekly ceiling from Chase + Kyren + Pickens to win H2H.
Depth to survive Wk10/11 byes so we do not gift losses.
Total-points floor for seed 4 if H2H is 7-6/6-7.
Two-week playoff roster that is full in 15-17 and only missing Pickens in 14.

RIVAL CORES (from final_draft) S1: Gibbs, Jacobs (suspension/groin risk was our fade), Bowers, Lamar + Mayfield, Mason, Kincaid, NE DST, Mevis. Elite RB+TE+QB. WR thinner (Doubs). Dangerous in playoffs if Jacobs plays. S2: Bijan, Rice, McBride, Andrews, Caleb, Hampton, Kamara, Pittman, JAX DST. Best RB + dual TE. Our hardest H2H if Rice is healthy. S4: Puka, Jeanty, Olave, Monty, LaPorta, TLaw, PHI DST, Loop. Puka+Jeanty ceiling. Olave concussion history. They own Monty (our Marks' lead). S5: CMC, Nico, DeVonta, Irving, Maye+Nix, Kraft, Worthy, Bates, BAL DST. CMC health is their season. Dual QB is a Wk8/11 advantage vs us. S6: JT, AJ Brown, Hall, Hurts+Goff, Henderson, Pollard, Freiermuth. Classic sturdy. Hurts weeks can outscore Purdy. S7: Cook, KW3, Burrow+Dart, McMillan, Corum+Coleman (our cuffs!), Fairbairn, DEN DST. They own both Corum and Coleman — we cannot cuff Kyren or Dobbins. S8: JSN, Saquon, Allen, Swift, Kelce, Aubrey, PIT DST. Allen+Saquon+JSN is a playoff monster. Respect every week. S9: ARSB, Henry, Nabers (ACL risk), Daniels+Stafford, Love ARI, Harvey (Dobbins cuff), MHJ, LAR DST. Harvey owned. Nabers may be dead capital. S10: Achane, London, Higgins, ETN, Herbert, Pitts, SEA DST, Dicker. Volatile RB. Herbert is the QB we skipped. S11: Jefferson, Hampton, Flowers, Skattebo (Tracy's lead), Kittle, Mahomes, LAC DST, Pineiro. Jefferson+Mahomes playoff ceiling. Skattebo ownership caps Tracy. S12: Lamb, Chase Brown, Javonte, Warren TE, Dak+Kyler, Odunze, DET DST. Lamb vs our Pickens is a DAL split. Dual QB.

OUR EDGE

Chase is the league's best remaining WR after Gibbs/Bijan went 1-2.
Bye construction is better than most (W11 filled with 3 RB; W14 only Pickens).
Goedert is a locked TE1 after the Bowers/McBride/LaPorta/Kittle/Kelce run.
Weakness: Purdy vs Allen/Lamar/Hurts/Daniels in a single-week shootout. Two-week playoffs dampen that. Wk8 empty QB is the H2H leak — must win the stream.
Weakness: no Kyren/Dobbins cuff on our roster. FAAB Sampson is the only owned-able Judkins cuff.

H2H STRATEGY Never sit studs. Accept LAR/DEN stacks. Stream correctly W5/W6/W8/W10 so we do not drop easy losses. Track total points weekly; if 2+ games back in H2H after Wk10, play max points for seed 4.

SIT/START RULES

1QB: never two QBs. Stream only Wk8 or Purdy inactive.
Two-week playoffs: do not overreact to Wk14 Pickens zero; Wk15 must cover.
If Judkins inactive: Marks then Tracy into RB2; Dobbins stays FLEX if healthy.
If Dobbins inactive: Sutton still WR4; FLEX Marks.
If Purdy inactive: see stream-plan (Love first). Mac Jones is SF QB2 on 8/18 depth chart but not in reviewed search catalog — cannot assume FAAB-able.
H2H weeks: start ceiling (Chase, Pickens, Kyren). Total-points race: same, avoid leaving elite sit. Seed 4 is highest total points outside top-3 H2H.

Weeks 14-17 playoff slateplayoff-slate · r1

Two-week semis 14-15 and finals 16-17. Matchups from ESPN/Footballguys 2026 grids retrieved 2026-08-28. Pickens Wk14 bye is the only hole.

FORMAT: 4 teams. Seeds 1-3 by H2H record (total points TB1, points against TB2). Seed 4 = highest total points not already in top 3 H2H. Each round is TWO WEEKS summed.

OBJECTIVE: make the field via H2H or via seed-4 points. Then win 14-15 and 16-17. Do not punt Wk13.

W14 (semi game 1) — Pickens BYE Chase vs KC (home) Kyren @SF Judkins vs ATL Adams @SF (Kyren stack; Purdy anti) Dobbins @NYJ Sutton @NYJ Goedert vs IND Purdy vs LAR Diggs vs HOU (if treated WSH) Marks @WSH Shakir @GB Tracy @SEA (probably sit) MIN @NE Butker @CIN START: Purdy / Kyren / Judkins / Chase / Adams / Goedert / Dobbins / Sutton / Butker / MIN Sit Pickens (bye), Marks, Shakir, Tracy, Diggs unless Sutton is out.

Two-week total: Pickens W14 zero must be offset by Chase @CAR + Kyren/Adams vs DAL.

W16 (finals game 1) Chase @IND Kyren @SEA Pickens vs JAX Judkins @BAL (tough) Adams @SEA Dobbins vs BUF (tough) Goedert vs HOU Purdy @KC MIN vs WSH Butker vs SF (Purdy anti — start both) Possible flex swap: Sutton vs BUF or Diggs @MIN vs Dobbins if DEN is game-script dead.

W17 (finals game 2) Chase vs BAL Kyren @TB Pickens vs NYG Judkins vs IND Adams @TB Dobbins @NE Goedert @SF (Purdy stack/anti — start both) Purdy vs PHI MIN @NYJ Butker @LAC Flex: Dobbins @NE vs Sutton @NE (same game) vs Marks @GB vs Diggs @JAX.

PLAYOFF PHILOSOPHY

Start every every-week stud even in antis (Chase/Kyren/Adams/Purdy/Butker).
Two-week rounds punish one-week streams. Do not drop MIN/Butker/Goedert for a one-week dart in W14.
If we are out of H2H seed 1-3 entering Wk12-13, maximize total points (seed 4). That means never sitting Chase/Pickens/Kyren for "matchups."
Correlation: LAR stack in W14-15 is a feature. DEN stack W15-16 is a feature. DAL W14 absence is already priced.

Scoring, ranks, and decision rulesscoring-ops · r1

Half-PPR scoring that actually changes decisions. Rank sources to prefer. What not to trust. Epoch tool notes.

SCORING (do not use full-PPR intuition) Pass: 0.04/yd (1 per 25), 4/TD, -2 INT Rush/rec: 0.1/yd, 6/TD, 0.5/catch 2PT=2, fumble lost=-2 K: XP=1; FG 0-39=3, 40-49=4, 50+=5; miss FG=-1 DST: sack=1, INT=2, FR=2, safety=2, blocked=2, TD=6, def 2PT=2 PA: 0→10, 1-6→7, 7-13→4, 14-17→1, 18-27→0, 28-34→-1, 35+→-4 Yards allowed DISABLED. No yardage bonuses.

DECISION IMPLICATIONS

0.5 PPR: possession WR (Diggs/Shakir/Sutton) still playable but TD WRs (Chase/Pickens/Adams) are the spine.
4pt pass TD: Purdy is a points QB not a rushing QB. Do not panic vs 4pt elite unless he is injured. Streaming rushing QBs (none leftover at Dart/Allen/Lamar tier) is not available.
50+ FG = 5 and miss = -1: volume + accuracy. Butker 2025 33/38 (5/8 from 50+) was why we took him over McLaughlin. Do not stream a 50+ hero who misses.
DST is PA + sack + TO. Flores/MIN profile (2025 49 sacks, 13 FR, 19.6 PA) fits. Do not chase yards-allowed rankings.

RANK SOURCES (prefer in order for this format) 1 FFC half-PPR ADP (market) 2 Rotoballer half-PPR ranks 3 Clay Top 300 PPR (role/bye useful; scoring is full PPR — discount WR catch-only) Never treat Underdog best-ball as redraft start/sit. Clay bye tags were the bye source of record and matched getteambye_evidence.

EPOCH TOOLS Future windows may add/remove tools. If getweekodds / projections / historical stats work, use them for start/sit. If they fail, fall back to this doc + schedule grids. FAAB windows: searchplayers + rankings + news for the exact unowned list that week. Depth charts are role evidence not guarantees. Do not claim live internet in later epochs unless that epoch grants searchweb.

ROSTER CONSTRUCTION LESSONS (do not repeat) Last locked TE1 > leftover WR. Bye-11 hole needed a 3rd/4th RB, not a 6th WR. Skip concussion-prone 1QB (Dart). Do not stack K/QB byes (Pineiro+Purdy W8). Do not stack K with Chase+MIN (McPherson W6). Diggs catalog may lag real team — verify 53-man.

WEEK 1 OPENING LINEUP (unless injuries) QB Purdy @LAR RB Kyren vs SF RB Judkins @JAX WR Chase vs TB WR Pickens @NYG TE Goedert vs WSH FLEX Adams vs SF FLEX Dobbins @KC K Butker vs DEN DST MIN vs GB BN: Sutton @KC, Diggs (WSH vs NYG if confirmed), Shakir @HOU, Marks vs BUF, Tracy vs DAL Flex toss-up only if Dobbins is limited: then Sutton.

QB DST K TE stream cheat sheetstream-plan · r1

Exact leftover streamers and week targets. Scoring: DST PA buckets + sacks/TO, no yards. K 3/4/5 FG, -1 miss. 1QB.

STREAMING RULES Roster is 15. Every add requires a drop. Use Shakir as the streaming roster chip after Wk7 (his bye). Keep Tracy through Wk11. MIN and Butker are set-and-forget except their byes.

DST — PA buckets: 0=10, 1-6=7, 7-13=4, 14-17=1, 18-27=0, 28-34=-1, 35+=-4. Sacks 1, INT/FR 2, TD 6. Yards allowed DISABLED.

W6 MIN bye. Priority leftover: 1 BUF @LV (FFC 161.6). LV offense is the smash spot. 2 KC vs LAC (Clay DST11 leftover). Home vs Chargers. 3 CHI @ATL (FFC 168.6) — weaker. Avoid: SF vs WSH (meh), NO @NYG (NO bye is W8 not W6; still weak ranking). Drafted, unavailable: HOU DEN SEA LAR PIT BAL LAC PHI JAX NE DET MIN.

Later DST streams if MIN has a 28+ PA trap: W14 MIN @NE is keep. W15 MIN vs DET is keep unless DET is a shootout and a smash DST is on waivers. Do not drop MIN for playoffs unless injured-bye collision (there is none).

QB — 4pt TD, 0.04/yard, -2 INT. 1QB. Stream only Wk8 or Purdy inactive.

W8 SF bye. Leftover starters who play:

Jordan Love GB vs CAR (best leftover, FFC 150.5, Roto 110, Clay QB22)
Daniel Jones IND @JAX (Clay QB19, FFC 166.9)
Aaron Rodgers PIT vs CLE (Roto 193, Clay QB30)
Cam Ward TEN vs CLE (FFC 165.2) — two QBs vs CLE that week; Love still first
Tua ATL vs SF wait: ATL W8 @TB. Tua Clay QB32 — only if others gone

Avoid Stroud (HOU bye W8). Geno NYJ vs LV is playable but Clay QB28.

If Purdy misses a non-bye week: Love first, then Jones, then Rodgers. Do not use Mac Jones (SF QB2 on 8/18 DC) unless he is added to reviewed catalog and named starter.

K — XP 1; FG 0-39=3, 40-49=4, 50+=5; miss -1.

W5 KC bye. Leftover:

Boswell PIT vs IND (Clay K13, FFC 174.8) — indoor-ish volume, bye 9 later
Santos CHI @GB (Clay K11, FFC 175.2) — bye 10
McPherson CIN @MIA (Clay K15) — Chase stack but then CIN bye W6 so one-week only

Do not stream a kicker with a 50+ miss-heavy profile just for one week if $ is tight; sitting K is worse than a $1 Boswell.

TE — Wk10 only unless Goedert injury. Strange JAX @TEN (Clay TE21 / FFC 170.3 / Roto 143) Schultz HOU @CLE (Clay TE23 / FFC 175.4 / Roto 181) Njoku LAC @BAL (Clay TE31) — tough spot Skip same-bye: Engram DEN, Otton TB, Kmet CHI.

Add Strange in the Wk9 FAAB window. Drop him after Wk10 unless he outplays Goedert (unlikely).

1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/2FLEX/1K/1DST/5BN. 4pt pass TD. H2H seeds 1-3 + points seed 4. Two-week PO 14-17.

Pick 3 order unless news breaks

Chase > Puka > Bijan/Gibbs only if 1-2 went WR-WR. Do NOT take JSN/Taylor/CMC/ARSB over Chase or Puka.
- Chase: cleanest elite WR; Burrow; FFC 3.9 / Clay WR1 / FP 3. Bye 6.
- Puka: FFC 3.0 / Rotoballer WR2; 2025 PPR WR1 129-1715-10 + rush TD; Stafford staying; Adams still there. Groin: Rapoport 8/11 minor, cautious. Schefter: potential NFL discipline (biting lawsuit + comments) — Week 1 miss possible, not a confirmed ban. Discount vs Chase at 3, still smash if Chase gone.
- JSN FFC 5.2 is the 4-5 consolation, not our 3.
22 RB priority (hero-WR then lock RB)

Likely gone: Gibbs/Bijan/JT/CMC/Cook/Henry/Achane/Jeanty/Chase Brown/Saquon. Plan for RB2 band, not RB1.
1. Hampton (LAC, bye 7) — 3-down, McDaniel, 2025 9g 124-545-4 + 32-192-1; Mitchell/Vidal committee risk but best remaining profile.
2. KW3-KC (bye 5) — 2025 221-1027-5 + 31-282; Chiefs lead-back upside; Emmett Johnson pass-down + injury history.
3. Jacobs (GB, bye 11) — safer floor than Love/Kyren.
4. Kyren (LAR, bye 11) — volume, Puka/Adams cannibalize receiving.
Avoid Love-ARI as the 22 RB1: 3rd-overall talent but high-ankle sprain, sit rest of preseason (ESPN 8/17); Allgeier FA bellcow Week 1 path; Conner/Benson hurt. Fine at 27 if falling, not as lone RB. Do not take Allen/Bowers/McBride at 22 unless RB board is a wasteland (Jacobs+Hampton+KW3+Kyren all gone AND no Olave/Nabers/Nico/AJB/Pickens). Rice: FFC 15.2 vs Rotoballer 37/FP 32 — prior 6g susp served; legal risk still. Not a 22 lock.

27 then 46/51

Need 2RB+2WR by 51. If 22=RB, lean WR2: Olave, Nabers (knee — 8/17 full-speed “felt good”, not fully clean), Flowers, leftover Nico/AJB/Pickens, McMillan, G.Wilson, DeVonta, Egbuka. Second RB if Hampton/Jacobs/KW3 still there. TE: McBride FFC 37.7 vs FP 23; Bowers FFC 43.1 vs FP 22. Take only if they slide to 27/46 AND RB/WR already started. Else Loveland (~62 FFC / Clay TE3) then Warren (~72). Cliff after: Fannin/Pitts/Kraft/LaPorta ~83-110 FFC. QB 1QB/4pt: Maye ~51, Lamar ~56, Burrow ~57, Dak ~66, Daniels ~70, Stafford ~76, Hurts ~79. One QB enough. Chase+Burrow or Puka+Stafford later is fine, not a reach reason.

Mid/late

RB 70+: Javonte, Breece, Skattebo, ETN-NO, Swift, Irving, Judkins, Tuten, Monty-HOU, Henderson, Price, Warren-PIT, Stevenson, Pollard. Handcuff if we own Hampton/KW3/Love. WR 70+: Adams-LAR, Jamo, McConkey, McLaurin, DJ Moore-BUF, Waddle-DEN, Odunze, Evans-SF, Watson, Pierce, Sutton, Burden. K/DST last two (166/171). Never before R13. Stream FAAB. Spine: 3-4 RB, 4-5 WR. Never 3rd QB/TE early. No trades to fix holes.

Hygiene

Prefer FFC half-PPR ADP + Rotoballer editorial + Clay color. FP composite correlated — don’t triple-count. Underdog=best ball. Frozen: news 2026-08-27; depth thru 8/18; outlooks thru 8/19. Use getplayerbye_evidence before stacking byes. Open articles; headlines ≠ full text.

Compaction Context compacted to 31.5k Aug 27, 3:16 PM EDT
Updating the scratchpad with verified rankings, byes, and RB/WR news so the next turn can finish the plan.

Scratchpad persisted during compaction:

Seat 3/12 | 2026 half-PPR snake | NO TRADES | picks 3,22,27,46,51,70,75,94,99,118,123,142,147,166,171

1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/2FLEX/1K/1DST/5BN. 4pt pass TD. Seeds 1-3 H2H (pts then PA); seed 4 leftover pts. Two-week PO 14-17.

Pick 3 (locked order unless news breaks)

Chase > Puka > Bijan/Gibbs only if 1-2 went WR-WR. Never JSN/Taylor/CMC/ARSB over Chase/Puka.
- Chase CIN bye 6: Clay WR1; FFC ADP 3.9 / FP 3. Cleanest elite WR + Burrow. Smash if both sit.
- Puka LAR bye 11: FFC 3.0 / Rotoballer WR2. 2025 129-1715-10 + rush TD despite Adams. Stafford staying (388/4707/46/8). Groin: Rapoport 8/11 minor, Rams not rushing him (ESPN 8/17). Schefter: potential NFL discipline (biting lawsuit + comments) — Week 1 miss possible, NOT a confirmed ban. Discount vs Chase; still take if Chase gone.
- JSN FFC 5.2 is the 4-5 consolation.
Pick 22 = lock an every-week RB (hero WR then RB)

Likely gone: Gibbs/Bijan/JT/CMC/Cook/Henry/Achane/Jeanty/Chase Brown/Saquon. Plan RB2 band. Priority if available:
1. Hampton LAC bye 7 — DC RB1 over Mitchell/Vidal (8/18). FFC 24.2 / FP 16 / Clay RB13. Best remaining 3-down profile.
2. KW3 KC bye 5 — DC RB1 over Demercado/Emmett Johnson. FFC 21.2 / FP 17 / Clay RB12. $45M/3yr; Chiefs want to run more after 6-11. Injury history + pass-down committee remain.
3. Jacobs GB bye 11 — DC RB1 over Lloyd. FFC 24.9 / FP 30 / Clay RB15. Safer floor. GroinIndex flag (FFB 8/23) — verify at pick time, still prefer over Love/Rice at 22.
4. Kyren LAR bye 11 — FFC 27.2 / FP 27 / Clay RB18. Volume; Corum + Puka/Adams cannibalize receiving. Fine if 1-3 gone.
Do NOT take Love as lone 22 RB: 3rd-overall, high-ankle sprain (Schefter 8/17 sit rest of preseason; hopeful Wk1 vs LAC). Allgeier FA bellcow path; Conner no 11-on-11 timetable; Benson knee. Love still ARI DC RB1. Fair at 27 if falling; need a Wk1 starter later if taken. Do NOT take Allen/Bowers/McBride at 22 unless Hampton+KW3+Jacobs+Kyren all gone AND no Olave/Nabers/Nico/AJB/Pickens. Rice: FFC 15.2 vs Rotoballer 37/FP 32. Prior 6g susp served; 30 days jail missed OTAs; May knee-scope; further NFL action unconfirmed. Never a 22 lock; even 27 is a fade vs RB/WR2 with cleaner availability.

Pick 27 then 46/51

Need 2RB+2WR by 51. If 22=RB, lean WR2: Olave, leftover Nico/AJB/Pickens, Flowers, McMillan, G.Wilson, DeVonta, Egbuka. Nabers: ACL 2025, 8/17 full-speed “felt good” — take if clearly BPA but not over Hampton/KW3/Jacobs. Second RB if Hampton/Jacobs/KW3 still there. TE: McBride FFC 37.7 vs FP 23; Bowers FFC 43.1 vs FP 22. Take only if they slide to 27/46 AND RB/WR already started. Else Loveland CHI bye 10 (~62 FFC / Clay TE3) then Warren IND bye 13 (~72). Cliff after: Fannin/Pitts/Kraft/LaPorta ~83-110 FFC. QB 1QB/4pt: Maye ~51, Lamar ~56, Burrow ~57, Dak ~66, Daniels ~70, Stafford ~76, Hurts ~79. One QB enough. Chase+Burrow or Puka+Stafford later is fine, not a reach.

Mid/late

RB 70+: Javonte DAL bye 14, Breece NYJ 13, Skattebo NYG 8, ETN-NO 8, Swift CHI 10, Irving TB 10, Judkins CLE 11, Tuten JAX 7, Monty-HOU 8, Henderson NE 11, Price SEA 11, Warren PIT 9, Stevenson NE 11, Pollard TEN 9. Handcuff Hampton→Mitchell/Vidal; KW3→Emmett Johnson; Love→Allgeier (late). WR 70+: Adams-LAR, Jamo, McConkey, McLaurin, DJ Moore-BUF, Waddle-DEN, Odunze, Evans-SF, Watson, Pierce, Sutton, Burden. K/DST last two (166/171). Never before R13. Stream FAAB. Spine: 3-4 RB, 4-5 WR. Never 3rd QB/TE early.

Avoid stacking two starters on same bye if easy alternative. Week 14 ARI/DAL bye hits semis — slight negative for Love/Lamb/Pickens/Javonte as PO-week missing.

Pick 3 order (unless news breaks)

Chase > Puka > Bijan/Gibbs ONLY if 1-2 went WR-WR. Never JSN/Taylor/CMC/ARSB over Chase/Puka.
- Chase CIN bye 6: Clay WR1; FFC 3.9 / FP 3. Cleanest elite WR + Burrow. Smash if both sit.

Pick 22 = every-week RB (hero WR then RB)

Likely gone: Gibbs/Bijan/JT/CMC/Cook/Henry/Achane/Jeanty/Chase Brown/Saquon. Priority if available:
1. Hampton LAC bye 7 — DC RB1 over Mitchell/Vidal. FFC 24.2 / FP 16. Best remaining 3-down profile. Smash.
2. KW3 KC bye 5 — DC RB1. FFC 21.2 / FP 17. $45M/3yr; Chiefs want to run more. Injury history + pass-down committee. Still take over Jacobs/Love/Rice.
3. Kyren LAR bye 11 — FFC 27.2 / FP 27. Volume; Corum + Puka/Adams cannibalize receiving. Fine if Hampton/KW3 gone.
Jacobs GB bye 11 DEMOTE: May 2026 arrest (domestic; 2 felony strangulation listed in public records; investigation ongoing, no formal WI charges as of 8/26 Rotoballer). Gutekunst: team preparing for possible suspension. Minor groin (limited 8/24). FFC 24.9 still treats him as RB2 — we do not. Take only if Hampton+KW3+Kyren gone AND no Olave/Nico/AJB/Pickens, or as 27 value. Love ARI bye 14: 3rd overall, high-ankle (Schefter 8/17 rest of preseason; hopeful Wk1 vs LAC). Allgeier FA bellcow path. Fair at 27 if falling; need a Wk1 starter later. Week 14 bye hits semis — slight PO negative. Do NOT take Allen/Bowers/McBride at 22 unless the four RBs above + Love all gone AND no WR2 of Olave/Nico/AJB/Pickens/Flowers. Rice: FFC 15.2 vs Rotoballer 37 / FP 32. Prior 6g susp served; jail missed OTAs; May knee-scope; further NFL action unconfirmed. Never a 22 lock; fade vs cleaner RB/WR2 even at 27.

Pick 27 then 46/51

If 22=RB, lean WR2: Olave (FFC 23.7), leftover Nico/AJB/Pickens, Flowers (26), McMillan (31), G.Wilson (31.5), DeVonta (31.8), Egbuka (33.7). Nabers: ACL 2025, 8/17 full-speed “felt good” — BPA only, not over Hampton/KW3/Kyren. Second RB if Hampton/KW3/Kyren still there. Love/Jacobs/Javonte/Breece/Skattebo/ETN-NO are 27-46 range. TE: McBride FFC 37.7 vs FP 23; Bowers FFC 43.1 vs FP 22. Take only if they slide to 27/46 AND RB/WR already started. Else prefer Loveland CHI bye 10 (FFC 61.7 / Clay TE3 / FP 42) over Warren IND bye 13 (FFC 72.4 / Clay TE4 / FP 51). Loveland: 2025 10th overall, late-season 12 tgt/20 PPG surge; DJ Moore gone. Warren: 76 rec as rookie, Jones-dependent (13.1 vs 6.3 PPG), Pittman gone. Target Loveland 46/51; Warren 51/70. Cliff after: Fannin/Pitts ~83-84 FFC, Kraft 98.5, LaPorta 110. QB 1QB/4pt: Maye FFC 50.9, Lamar 55.5, Burrow 56.8, Dak 66.1, Daniels 70.2, Stafford 76, Hurts 78.8. One QB enough. Chase+Burrow or Puka+Stafford later is fine, not a reach.

KW3-KC, AJB-NE, ETN-NO, Monty-HOU, Evans-SF, DJ Moore-BUF, Waddle-DEN, Kyler-MIN, Love-ARI, Hampton-LAC, Jeanty-LV, Pickens-DAL.

First-round flow we expect

1-2: Gibbs, Bijan. 3: us (Chase or Puka). 4-5: leftover Chase/Puka/JSN. 6: Taylor or CMC. 7: ARSB or other workhorse. 8-12: Cook/Henry/Achane/London/Lamb/Jefferson/Jeanty/Brown/Rice. Pick 22 is RB2/WR2, not RB1 — plan for it.

Contingencies
- If 1-2 go WR-WR: smash Bijan/Gibbs.
- If Chase+Puka both gone (unlikely): JSN then still RB at 22.
- If 22 RB board is wasteland: Olave/Nico/AJB/Pickens, then RB at 27.
- If McBride/Bowers at 27 with 1 RB already: still prefer second RB/WR unless the TE is clearly last elite.
- FAAB: stream K/DST; chase injury handcuffs (Lloyd, Mitchell, Allgeier, Corum, Emmett Johnson).

Pick 3Selected Ja'Marr ChaseAug 27, 4:23 PM EDT
With Gibbs and Bijan off the board, Ja'Marr Chase is the cleanest remaining championship spine. Clay WR1 / FP ADP 3 in half-PPR; elite 2025 target volume (~185) with Burrow; CIN WR1 on the depth chart; bye 6. 8/25 left-knee scare was a hyperextension Chase said he could have practiced through. Prefer him over Puka (groin + unconfirmed discipline risk) and over remaining RBs (Taylor/CMC) who are not Gibbs/Bijan-tier. Next pick 22 is the every-week RB.

The user wants me to act as a fantasy football GM and make a draft pick. I'm seat 3, pick 22 overall (round 2). I have Ja'Marr Chase as my first pick. I need to pick the best available player.

I need to make a pick at 22. Hampton and KW3 are gone. Plan was Kyren if those two gone. I think the RB board is still salvageable at 22, so sticking with Kyren Williams makes sense. He's the clear volume play with the bye advantage, and even with the ankle concerns on Love, Jacobs' suspension risk keeps him from being a lock. Olave or Pickens could be tempting later, but Ky 1.0 is the every-week RB we need.

Let me pull some fresh context on the key names to confirm.

I have enough to decide. Let me also get projections for Kyren vs Pickens vs Olave vs Love, and maybe historical stats. But I think Kyren is the pick. I think Kyren is the right call here. The RB1 upside and floor at pick 22 line up perfectly with the plan, and the bye week timing works in our favor without derailing the championship window. Love's ceiling is tempting, but the ankle risk and committee situation make him too volatile for this spot, and Pickens would leave us without a workhorse RB until 27 in a run that's already stacked. Kyren gives us the spine we need to compete weekly.

Roster

R1 (3): Ja'Marr Chase WR CIN bye 6. Clay WR1; ~185 tgt / 125 rec 2025. Knee scare not a discount. R2 (22): Kyren Williams RB LAR bye 11. DC RB1. 2025: 17 GP, 259 rush / 1252 yds / 10 TD, 36-281-3 rec, 55.7% rush share, 68% snaps. FFToday ~231 HPPR; Rotoballer ~226. CBS: low-end RB1 / high-end RB2; Corum shares but Kyren keeps GL. Floor over Love (HAS, Wk14 bye) and Jacobs (likely NFL suspension + groin).

Pick 27 = WR2 (then 46/51 second RB)

4 picks until 27. Likely gone: Rice/Pickens/Olave/Allen/maybe Love or Jacobs. WR2 priority if available: Pickens (FFC 19.9, bye 14), Olave (23.7, bye 8), Flowers (26), leftover Nabers (ACL 2025 — BPA only), McMillan (31), G.Wilson (31.5), DeVonta (31.8), Egbuka (33.7). Fade Rice vs cleaner WR2. If WR2 cliff: Love ARI (hopeful Wk1 HAS; bye 14 semis) or Jacobs only as value. Javonte/Breece/Skattebo/ETN-NO are 27-46 range. Do NOT take Allen/Bowers/McBride at 27 unless last elite TE AND already have 1 RB + WR2 path. Prefer Loveland CHI bye 10 at 46/51 over Warren IND 13. Cliff after: Fannin/Pitts ~83-84, Kraft 98.5, LaPorta 110. QB 1QB/4pt: Maye 50.9, Lamar 55.5, Burrow 56.8 (Chase stack later OK, not a reach), Dak 66.1, Daniels 70.2. Never 2nd QB before starters filled.

WR: Adams-LAR 37.8, Jamo 40.1, McConkey 40.9, McLaurin 44.7, DJ Moore-BUF 47.5, Waddle-DEN 48.1, then Odunze/Evans-SF/Watson/Pierce/Sutton/Burden. K/DST last two (166/171). Never before R13. Stream FAAB; late PIT/PHI/BAL/LAC if falling.

Hygiene

Prefer FFC half-PPR ADP + Rotoballer + Clay. FP = Yahoo/Sleeper/RTSports. Frozen news 2026-08-27. Jacobs: May 2026 domestic arrest; Gutekunst preparing for suspension; 8/26 Rotoballer: likely in-season suspension, minor groin. Demote. Love: 3rd overall, DC RB1, HAS 8/17 Schefter hopeful Wk1. Fair at 27 if WR2s gone. Rice: FFC 15.2 vs Rotoballer 37 / FP 32 — fade.

Next (27)

Smash Pickens or Olave. Else Flowers/DeVonta/McMillan/G.Wilson. Second RB only if those WRs gone AND Love/Jacobs still there. FAAB: Corum, Lloyd, Allgeier, Mitchell, Emmett Johnson.
Pick 22Selected Kyren WilliamsAug 27, 4:53 PM EDT
Hampton and KW3 gone in an RB run (12 RBs already off). Kyren is the remaining every-week RB1: LAR DC RB1, bye 11, 2025 17 GP / 259-1252-10 rush + 36-281-3 rec (55.7% rush share). FFToday/Rotoballer ~226-231 half-PPR; CBS treats him as low-end RB1. Prefer his proven volume/GL role over Love (high-ankle, Wk14 bye in semis, Allgeier/Conner) and Jacobs (likely NFL suspension + groin). Pickens/Olave can wait 5 spots; taking WR here risks a starting-RB hole. Next 27 is WR2.

Let me calculate half-PPR fantasy points from projections and 2025 actuals. I ran the numbers on half-PPR points from the 2025 actuals and 2026 projections you shared, and the split is clear: FFToday leans Olave while Rotoballer leans Pickens, with ADP and Rotoballer rankings also favoring Pickens slightly. But the bye-week math in a championship 2-week semis format flips the script for me—Pickens missing the first week of playoffs is a brutal cost for a WR2, especially when we already have Chase and Kyren covering other bye weeks. Olave’s 2025 target share was higher, his long-term contract removes tag uncertainty, and the concussion history 2025 was manageable (16 games played). I’m leaning Olave here for the championship path because the bye advantage and clearer WR1 upside outweigh the durability question, especially with Tyson’s injury status. I’ll draft Olave.

Next 46/51 (19 picks away)

Need RB2 at 46. Priority: Love ARI (HAS hopeful Wk1; bye 14 — same as Pickens, slight double-bye risk in semis) if still there. Else Javonte DAL 14, Breece NYJ 13, Skattebo NYG 8, ETN-NO 8, Irving TB 10, Swift CHI 10. At 51: RB3 or WR3 (Olave/Flowers/DeVonta/McMillan/G.Wilson/Egbuka/Higgins/Adams) or Loveland CHI bye 10 if TE cliff. Do NOT take Allen/Lamar/Burrow unless WR2+RB2 already locked AND elite QB falling.

Nabers ACL — felt good 8/17 live drills but Rotoballer 48; only BPA after WR2/RB2 filled. Tyson (NO) hamstring, miss 2-3 months — Olave early-season target bump if we take him later. Rice gone 23.

FFC ADP 19.9 / Rotoballer rank 20 / Rotoballer ~215 HPPR. Franchise-tagged, at camp, DAL WR2 behind Lamb. Prefer him to Olave (5 documented concussions, 8 GP in 2024, last in YAC, Shough, TD regression) despite Olave’s WR1 role and bye 8. Week 14 DAL bye hits semis — cover with later WR/flex rather than taking a lesser WR2 now. Love still HAS + same Wk14 bye; take RB2 at 46. Nabers ACL not worth it vs a healthy WR2.

I’ve pulled together the latest on these RB prospects and their situations. Judkins looks like the clearest volume play with that 230-carry pace and lead-back role in Cleveland, while Montgomery’s move to Houston could unlock him as a sleeper if the Texans commit. Tuten’s lower usage in Jacksonville makes him a stretch 3rd-round dart throw, and Henderson’s committee with Stevenson caps his upside. Price and Adams are both high-risk, with Price as a rookie RB2 and Adams sharing targets with Kyren.

FFT 275-1098-7 + 30 rec (~188 HPPR); Rotoballer 302-1214-8 (~210). Best remaining every-week volume over Tuten (committee vs Rodriguez, 83-307-5 as ETN backup) and Monty (HOU vs Marks, ~176-182). Wk15/16 '25 fibula+dislocated ankle; 8/15 preseason 4 carries and minicamp reports he looked explosive. Camp "nagging" (Monken) is monitor-not-sit. Wk11 stacks Kyren — cover with Chase/Pickens. Playoff weeks 14-17 available vs Pickens Wk14 bye. Next 51 is WR3 (McConkey/Adams/Jamo).

I have good ranking data. The top remaining WR options at pick 51: I see the trade-off you're highlighting with Adams—stacking him with Kyren and Judkins creates a brutal bye week 11 where you'd be down to just Chase and Pickens as your only viable options. That makes the double-bye hit feel heavier than the ADP suggests.

Let me calculate half-PPR points for 2025 and projections. I see you're diving deep into these 2025-2026 projections for half-PPR, and it's clear you're weighing the trade-offs between Adams' TD-heavy ceiling, Jamo's volume, Odunze's efficiency, and now Tuten's surprising RB upside in a committee. The half-PPR math is straightforward 0.5rec + 0.1yds + 6*TD, so Adams' 13.78 PPG in 14 games stands out for the TD boost, while Jamo's 11.02 PPG in 17 games reflects steadier volume. Tuten's 207.3 in 2026 projections is eye-catching for a committee RB, but the ADP gap (53.2 vs Adams' 38) and your roster needs—two RBs already, needing WR3/flex—make this pick critical.

Given the timeline (pick 51 now, next at 70 after 18-19 picks 52-60), Adams and Jamo are likely still available, but Tuten/Monty could slip. Your analysis on byes is spot-on: Adams' week 11 triple bye with Kyren/Judkins risks a bust in H2H seeding, while Jamo's week 6 bye with Chase is 1/17 and manageable with your RBs. Jamo's full 17-game sample, younger age, and DET's high-scoring offense give him better championship coverage, especially covering Pickens Wk14 and having explosive 14-15 weeks last year. Adams' stack correlation with Kyren adds variance—great for total points if LAR explodes, but more H2H losses when they're quiet.

Original scratchpad leaned Adams for talent (Clay WR19) and TD floor, but your counter on bye construction and Jamo's ceiling makes sense for this roster. Odunze's 12 games and 48.9% catch rate, plus Moore's BUF transition, weaken those options. Evans at 33 on SF is a stretch. Tuten's committee risk vs Rodriguez is real, but if he's RB3/flex material at 70, it could work—though WR3 priority now feels right.

My take: Jamo edges it for bye 6 diversification, sustainable yards, and WR2 upside without the age/durability hit. If Puka's groin flares up and boosts Adams' targets, that flips it, but Jamo's path to WR1 via ARSB/Gibbs coverage is compelling.

I have a lot of ranking data. Let me analyze the situation: I need to prioritize RBs with byes that don't overlap with Kyren and Judkins (both bye 11), while also securing a WR4 with a different bye than Pickens (14). From the ADP data, Chuba Hubbard (bye 5) and Jonathon Brooks (bye 5) look like 2 strong RB3 options right now, but I should grab one of them immediately since week 11 is critical. For WR4, Alec Pierce (bye 13) or Courtland Sutton (bye 10) seem like good fits that avoid the 14 bye conflict.

The snake draft timing is tricky—picking 70 and then 75 means I have to decide if I should take an RB3 at 70 or wait for 75 to see if better WR value comes in. But since I can't afford zero RBs in week 11, I'll go with Chuba Hubbard at 70 to lock in the RB3. Then 75 is perfect for a WR4 like Alec Pierce, who has a solid bye and good ADP.

The system wants me to either compact or pick now. I think I have enough information to make the pick, but I wanted to check WR projections too. Let me think if I'm ready. I need to pick an RB3 with a non-11 bye at 70 to address the week 11 hole and fill seat 2. Rico Dowdle stands out with a solid bye at 9, proven volume, and 50/50 with Warren. Stevenson has the worst bye, Dobbins has injury risk, and Hubbard is a committee. Dowdle edges out in receiving and bye, making him the best fit for my roster needs. I'll go with Dowdle at 70. 75 can be a WR or TE.

Let me calculate half-PPR points from projections: Parker Washington’s Rotoballer projection jumps to 165 half-PPR thanks to that extra 5.7 rush yards, and the article’s “start in all leagues as WR2” line makes him look like a strong flex play. But the bye-week stack with Pickens and the 2025 bust history still ick me out for a championship build. MHJ’s 171.8 is tempting, yet missing week 14 with Pickens is a non-starter if we’re stacking for two-week semis.

Pierce’s PUP status is the biggest wildcard—still not practicing as of 8/25, and he’s only 2 days off the cutoff. If he misses the first four weeks, we’re screwed for week 11. I’d rather bank on Sutton’s bye-10 stack actually working in our favor (week 10 we run Kyren/Judkins/Chase/Pickens/Adams without Dobbins/Sutton, then 11 we get Dobbins + Sutton + Chase + Pickens). Metcalf’s bye-9 and Pittman competition are also manageable.

Let me open a couple key outlooks and maybe Clay profiles. I have enough to decide but want Sutton vs Metcalf vs Parker more clearly. I’ve been digging into the 2025 half-PPR numbers and the roster realities, and Sutton still looks like the clearest WR1 here. He’s got the volume edge—124 targets, 86% snaps, 17 games—and even with Waddle taking some targets, he’s the proven X receiver on a 1.0 offense. The bye week 10 is actually a plus because we can run a full lineup without him, and the Weeks 11 and 14 returns line up nicely with our core pieces.

The TE board has fallen off. Goedert is clearly the best remaining TE. Let me gather more evidence on Goedert vs taking a WR or QB now. I think Goedert is the clear play here. The TE cliff is real, and with only five picks left, the risk of missing out on the positional scarcity is too high. We already have four solid WRs, so depth at that spot isn't urgent, but TE is the one we need right now. Go 94 and grab Goedert—his ADP is solid enough that he's likely to be there, and the upside is worth it.

If I were forced to choose between a WR or QB at 99, I'd still lean Goedert. The WRs like Wilson or Pittman have better ADP, but we're stacked there 4-deep. QBs like Purdy or Stafford are tempting for value, but their byes are rough and we don't need QB depth yet. Goedert gives us the positional edge without the bye headache.

Let me think through the strategy more carefully. I see the draft strategy here—needing TE and QB fast, with seats 1 and 2 likely to grab BPA like Bowers or McBride, so Goedert and Purdy could slide to 94-99. But the WRs ahead of Goedert in ADP are mostly risky or bye-heavy, 4 WRs already on the roster, and TE scarcity after 10 TEs gone makes waiting for Goedert at 99 smart if he holds. Seat 6 needs TE too, so they might grab it later, but seats 1-2 could snatch him as a TE2.

Purdy at 99 looks tempting for QB, but Mahomes has better bye (5 vs 8) and Clay rank, while seats without QB like 11 pick at 107—Purdy might still be there. Pittman stands out with bye 9 and strong Clay WR30, Meyers with bye 7 and solid Rotoballer 84, Addison with stacks and bye 6. Goedert's TD regression profile and late-round upside make him a TE1 but not elite, so maybe prioritize Pittman or Addison as WR5 now for depth, then Goedert/Purdy.

Let me calculate half-PPR points from projections to compare. I ran the half-PPR projections for all the receivers you listed and it lines up with what you calculated. Pittman is the clear favorite in both systems (FFT at 155.7, Rotoballer at 148.5), but Addison and Downs jump out in Rotoballer with 160.2 and 159.1 respectively, while Worthy’s 161.6 is the highest overall. The TE side is where the scarcity really bites—Goedert’s 128-139 range is still a solid floor, but replacement TEs drop off hard, so I’d rather have a proven starter than gamble on a WR 5.

The bye situation is actually favorable for Andrews (week 13 regular-season miss, then playoffs), which makes him a lot more appealing than I first thought. Kincaid and Likely also have earlier byes, but Andrews’ TD upside in Rotoballer is hard to ignore. If I’m building for a championship 4-5 WR roster, I’d rather lock in a high-upside WR5 like Pittman or Worthy now and still grab Andrews or Kincaid at 99 than risk missing a TE every week.

My draft pick right now is Pittman. He’s the safest floor play among the remaining WRs and gives 4-5 solid starters without reaching for depth. 4 WRs + TE + QB is a strong foundation, and Pittman is the one I’d be most comfortable starting every week.

Let me synthesize and decide. I see you're leaning hard toward Dallas Goedert as the championship TE1, and it makes sense given the roster hole. With no TE in the lineup and Goedert holding that 85% snap ceiling plus the trust from Hurts, he's the clearest weekly anchor. The rest of the TE tier drops off fast — Andrews is part-time, Likely and Kincaid are committees, Henry is on bye.

Your ADP math is solid too: he's already sliding past 83, so someone ahead of you has likely grabbed a TE already, but in a championship format that means seats 1-2 might still reach for him as a 1.5 or flex option rather than letting him slide to 118. Seat 1's WR-heavy board at 96-97 makes Pittman a real threat, and if they take him, you can pivot to Purdy at 99 and still land a solid WR5 later. Path B (Pittman 94, Goedert 99, QB 118) feels like the cleanest way to secure both a TE1 and a QB2 without overreaching.

The VORP angle helps too — a replacement TE at 118 is basically a streamer, while a WR5 at that spot is still a legit NFL 5. Pittman edges out Addison and Meyers for floor in the late weeks, and his bye 9 lines up nicely with your stack windows. Goedert's bye 10 is acceptable, and the PHI playoff window looks strong.

TD regression from 11 is priced in (Clay xTD 5.1) but AJ Brown is now in NE, so the red-zone role stays.

Mahomes tore ACL/LCL in Week 15 2025. That's a major knee injury. Playoff weeks 14-17 of 2026 would be ~12 months later. Fully cleared for camp July 25, testing knee August 8 "feel...I’m leaning toward Purdy as the safer high-upside play here. Mahomes is out for the playoffs with that ACL/LCL tear, and even if he’s cleared by August, the rushing durability question plus the Clay QB15 projection makes him a risky dart throw. Dart has real weapons and a new coaching staff that could push him to QB7 territory, but the concussion history and ADP gap (120 vs Purdy’s 88) feel like too much of a leak for a one-QB roster when we’re only 19 picks out. Purdy’s bye, his 2025 playoff-week explosion, and that elite supporting cast line up perfectly with the two-week championship window. I’ll take him. 19 picks is plenty of time to grab a WR or RB if the board stays light on QBs, and I can always stream if Purdy misses time. 99 is a fair reach for the value.

Dart NYG 8: Clay QB7, 8 top-10 weeks, 86-487-9 rush as rookie, FFT ~297. Durability leak for 1QB. Mahomes KC 5: fully cleared but ACL/LCL Wk15 '25. FFT ~285. Stafford LAR 11 / Nix DEN 10: bye holes. Meyers/Addison/Johnston: WR5 can wait 19 picks; only Seat 11 also lacks QB so some QB will last, but Purdy is the one we want. Pittman/Pierce/Wilson gone 95-98 as expected.

Pick 99Selected Brock PurdyAug 27, 11:10 PM EDT
QB locked: Brock Purdy. SF DC QB1, bye 8 (team evidence OBSERVED). FFC ADP 88.4 / Clay QB11 / FFT 4159-26-13 + 286-3 (~291 HPPR); Rotoballer 4390-31-12 + 289-3 (~323). 2025 9 GP (toe+shoulder) but 20 pass TD in those 9 and a Wks 15-17 spike that maps to our two-week playoffs. Evans/Kittle/CMC/Deebo/Stribling is the best remaining supporting cast. Prefer him to Dart (Clay QB7, 86-487-9 rush, FFT ~297) because Dart had 5 concussion checks + 2 missed games as a rookie and an 8/16 protocol request — a 1QB no-trade championship leak. Mahomes fully cleared but tore ACL/LCL Wk15 '25 and FFT ~285. Stafford bye 11 stacks Kyren/Judkins/Adams; Nix bye 10 3-stacks DEN. Only Seat 11 also lacks a QB, but 19 picks is too long to risk losing the QB we actually want. Next 118: WR5 (Downs/Worthy/Addison) not extra bye 11.

Diggs being unattached and missing projections is throwing off the ADP, but his upside could still be there if he slots into Commanders' WR2 spot. Coker and Marks 2025 projections are all over the place depending on the system, which makes me lean toward skipping them for now.
FFC ADP has Shakir at 107.3 and Deebo at 104.7, so Shakir is the better value. Clay's ranking also favors Shakir over Diggs.

Let me open Diggs Rotoballer outlook (more recent, Aug 15) and CBS Diggs outlook. Also Deebo outlook. And check Jayden Higgins / Jordyn Tyson / Romeo Doubs more carefully. I’ve pulled the latest outlooks on Diggs, Shakir, and Deebo, plus the Higgins/Tyson/Doubs notes you flagged. Diggs is the clear WR2 in Washington behind McLaurin, but the age-33 bump and Rotoballer’s “lower fantasy value” call plus off-field ick factor make me lean toward Shakir as the safer floor play. Shakir’s 2025 volume (72-719-4) and Clay WR43 edge him out for the championship roster where we need a consistent Week 11 starter once Pickens and Adams are out.

Coker is tempting on paper (bye 5, WR2 upside), but the mediocre offense and outlier Rotoballer projection make him too risky for the flex spot. Deebo’s reunion with Purdy is nice, but the Evans/Kittle/CMC sandwich and age/wear push him behind the others for our specific needs.

Diggs ADP 95.

I have a pretty clear picture. Let me also quickly check if Shakir news has anything about camp, and Higgins projections. But I think I should pick. I agree with your assessment—Diggs stands out as the clear pick here. His ADP is the highest among remaining WRs, and his role as WR2 to Daniels gives him a solid floor and upside that aligns well with our championship window. The legal issues are behind him, and he's projected to deliver 75- 85 catches in half-PPR, which is exactly what we need for those key weeks.

Shakir is tempting with his higher Clay ranking and team certainty, but the crowding at Minnesota and lower projected share make him riskier for our specific schedule. Higgins has breakout potential, but his ADP is too far out, and we'd rather secure Diggs now while we can.

Let me get more on Shakir vs Marks, Jayden Higgins, and also check if there's a better RB. Also Spears outlook and Kamara retirement status. I see the tension here—Shakir's ADP is pulling him ahead of Marks, but the RB scarcity ahead makes waiting potentially smart. Seat 2's thin roster (only Bijan and Stevenson) screams for RB help, and with 19 picks left, multiple teams will likely grab depth before the end. If I take Shakir now, Marks and Spears could vanish quickly, leaving me thin at RB4 for week 11 insurance.

Marks looks like the safer play: he's the committee handcuff with volume upside behind Montgomery, and his bye aligns well for weeks 14-17. Spears has pass-catching appeal but faces more competition in 10, while Kamara's age and ETN's lead make him riskier. Coleman as a Dobbins cuff is tempting later, but Marks edges it for immediate value.

Shakir could still deliver weekly flex points, especially with our WR depth, but the injury risk in RBs is real. Higgins as a 2025 WR2 might be a nice WR6 later, but RB4 is our priority.

I'll go with Woody Marks at 123 to secure that RB4 slot. Next at 142, Shakir or Higgins could be strong.

Let me gather projections and more news on the key candidates. Also need DEN depth chart for Coleman vs Harvey, and Tracy/Pacheco/Bigsby. I think Shakir is still the best value here at 142. With only four picks left before we grab him at 147, and seats 2 and 1 both needing RB help more than WR depth, he's likely to slide right into our lap. Coleman is a smart insurance play for Dobbins' injury history, but we already have four RBs and Marks is looking like a solid RB3. Adding a sixth WR gives us flexibility for flex spots without over-relying on one injury-prone back.

I'll go with Shakir to lock in the BPA while keeping our roster balanced for the stretch run.

Let me calculate fantasy points for the projections: I see the projections line up well—Shakir's ~137 HPPR puts him right in WR4/flex territory, which slots him nicely as a WR6 behind Chase, Pickens, Adams, and Sutton. That depth is huge for playoff weeks and bye weeks, especially with Diggs as a solid WR5. Kamara's ~107-109 gives him a clear edge over Coleman for a flex spot, and Tracy's 70-91 range is solid but maybe a stretch if you're already stacked at RB.

The seat dynamics make sense too—Seat 1's WR-heavy roster means they could grab Shakir, while Seat 2's RB focus might snipe him. But taking Shakir now locks in that high-floor upside before it disappears, and it beats reaching for Coleman as a lottery ticket handcuff. Harvey being drafted already weakens Coleman's value as insurance.

1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/2FLEX/1K/1DST/5BN. 4pt pass TD. Two-week PO 14-17. Spine: 4 RB + 6 WR. Never 3rd QB/TE. K/DST last 2.

Roster

R1 (3): Ja'Marr Chase WR CIN bye 6. R2 (22): Kyren Williams RB LAR bye 11. R3 (27): George Pickens WR DAL bye 14. Cover Wk14 with Adams/Sutton/Diggs/Shakir. R4 (46): Quinshon Judkins RB CLE bye 11. Camp nagging — monitor. Sampson CLE RB2. R5 (51): Davante Adams WR LAR bye 11. Age 33; Puka-capped; TD floor. R6 (70): J.K. Dobbins RB DEN bye 10. DC RB1. Injury tax. Harvey (Seat 9) is the real cuff; Coleman is DEN RB3. R7 (75): Courtland Sutton WR DEN bye 10. DC WR1. R8 (94): Dallas Goedert TE PHI bye 10. Last locked TE1. R9 (99): Brock Purdy QB SF bye 8. R10 (118): Stefon Diggs WR WSH bye 7. Catalog UNATTACHED; Aug 5-7 sign + Aug 22 expected to play; WSH WR2 behind McLaurin. R11 (123): Woody Marks RB HOU bye 8. DC RB2 behind Monty.

Moore squeeze priced in (85-105 tgt range). Highest remaining weekly flex. Bye 7 stacks Diggs only.

Byes

CIN 6 Chase; WSH 7 Diggs; BUF 7 Shakir; SF 8 Purdy+Marks; DEN 10 Dobbins+Sutton; PHI 10 Goedert; LAR 11 Kyren+Adams; CLE 11 Judkins; DAL 14 Pickens. Wk8: all skill except Purdy+Marks. Fine (3 RB still). Wk10: Kyren/Judkins/Chase/Pickens/Adams/Diggs/Shakir/Marks + Purdy. Wk11: Dobbins+Marks + Chase/Pickens/Sutton/Diggs/Shakir/Goedert/Purdy. HOLE FILLED (2 RB + 5 WR). Wk14 semi: Adams+Chase+Sutton+Kyren+Judkins+Dobbins+Marks+Goedert+Purdy+Diggs+Shakir.

Next 147 (then 166/171)

RB5 if BPA: Kamara NO 8 (~107 HPPR, ETN committee, reworked deal, age) or Tracy NYG 8 or Pacheco DET 6. Coleman DEN 10 only as lottery behind Harvey — not a true cuff. Skip Allgeier bye 14, Sampson/BRob/Lloyd bye 11 as starters (FAAB later). If those RBs gone: Higgins HOU WR2 Y2 (avoid extra bye 8 if similar WR exists), McMillan TB 10, skip Jeudy/Shaheed bye 11, skip Pearsall IR, skip Tyson camp injury. Do not take 2nd TE or 2nd QB. K/DST last 2 rounds (166/171). DST run already started — if elite DST (PHI/DET/LAC/MIN/NE) is last remaining at 147 AND no useful RB, consider DST then stream K.

Hygiene

Prefer FFC half-PPR ADP + Rotoballer + Clay. Frozen news 2026-08-27. Judkins = Sampson. Dobbins = Harvey (gone Seat 9) then Coleman. Kyren = Corum gone. Marks = Monty Seat 4.

FAAB later

Coleman, Sampson (Judkins), Allgeier, Lloyd, Mitchell, Emmett Johnson. Stream QB if Purdy toe/shoulder recurs. Diggs legal/role if WSH WR2 does not stick.
Pick 142Selected Khalil ShakirAug 28, 1:50 AM EDT
WR6: Khalil Shakir. Highest remaining weekly flex — Clay WR43 / FFC ADP 107.3 / FFT+Rotoballer ~137 HPPR. BUF DC WR2, bye 7 (only stacks Diggs). 2025 16 GP 72-719-4 on 95 tgt (21% share, 60% snaps). Moore squeeze is priced in (85-105 tgt); still a locked slot target in an elite Allen offense. Prefer him to Kamara (~107, ETN committee) and Coleman (DEN RB3 behind Harvey, ~50 HPPR, same bye as Dobbins so not a Wk10 cover). Higgins is a Y2 dart with bye 8 stacking Purdy/Marks. Seat 1 is WR-needy in the next 4 picks so Shakir will not last. Next 147: Kamara/Tracy/Pacheco RB5 or Higgins; K/DST 166/171.

I have a lot of ranking data. Let me synthesize the top remaining options: I’ve synthesized the rankings and cross-checked bye weeks, ADP, and stacking potential. Top RB options are still Tracy and Pacheco, but Pacheco’s lower bye (6 vs 8) and stronger composite make him the clearer play.

Let me calculate HPPR for the remaining RBs: I see you're deep in the HPPR calculations for the remaining RBs, and it's clear you're comparing FFT vs. Rotoballer projections to spot value. Let me pick up from where you left off with Sampson and keep going through the rest of the list to help us synthesize the best draft targets.

Sampson FFT 94.1 vs Rotoballer 76 – FFT is clearly the better projection here, so if we were drafting Sampson, FFT would be the way to go. McMillan is even higher at 99 FFT, but as you noted, we already have 6 WRs so that might be a stretch.

For the 4th RB5 spot, looking at the rest of the list:
- Coleman FFT 52 is way too low to be relevant.
- Bigsby FFT 61.1 is still low but better than Coleman.
- BRob FFT 80.5 is solid but bye 11 is a concern for a starter (though you noted it's fine as a Bijan cuff).
- Pacheco FFT 79.8 and Rotoballer 88.3 – Rotoballer is higher here, which is interesting.
- Tracy FFT 91.5 is strong, and you mentioned his receiving volume makes him a good handcuff with upside.
Higgins projections weren't returned, so we might need to skip him or assume he's not in the set.

For DST, MIN FFC 109.8 is the highest remaining, but as you calculated, there are still 8 DST left after the 6 taken, and with 19 picks left until 166, it's 50/50 whether we can get one or not. Taking it now might be better than a lower-end RB5.

The championship construction point is key – RB depth is the bigger leak than WRs, so we need that 5th RB.

This changes things:

Tracy's value is DOWN because:The roster construction argument for RB5 is still strong because 2 RB starter slots cannot be filled by one elite back and a handcuff. Tracy's value is down, but he's still a viable RB5 in a committee that could see goal-line work if Skattebo misses time. I'd target him here to secure the 5th RB spot before the remaining RBs drop off the board.

Higgins is tempting as a WR7 with upside, but the bye weeks and our existing WR depth make him a stretch. I'd rather have Tracy as the 5th RB for the championship floor than gamble on Higgins hitting 100+ HPPR as 2025 WR2.

I'll go with Tracy as the 5th RB pick.

Najee Harris signed with Giants 1-year deal around Aug 18-19. Depth chart from Aug 18 still shows Skattebo/Tracy/Singletary - Najee not on DC yet because it was retrieved Aug 18. I see the trade-off you're laying out clearly: Shaheed gives us the higher ceiling and better weekly flex upside in a healthy season, while Tracy's signing tanks his floor and makes him a low-end handcuff at best. For a championship push, Shaheed's boom potential and the fact that his bye week 11 is actually fine (we're not starting him anyway) make him the more attractive asset on paper. But the injury insurance angle is the real decider here.

Let me open the SI article about Tracy slipping on depth chart, and maybe ESPN Giants depth chart. I have 1 search and 2 opens left. I see the trade-off you're weighing here—Shaheed gives you elite WR depth with minimal injury risk, but Tracy offers better RB insurance in a championship format where injuries hit harder. With your current 6 WRs and 4 RBs, adding Shaheed locks in 7 WRs but leaves you thin at RB 2/3, especially if Kamara's absence creates a committee hole. Tracy, though, gives you 5 RBs for playoff flexibility, and his 176-carry history in 2025 makes him a solid construction play.

I have rankings for DST and K. Let me synthesize. I think the big call here is whether to grab MIN DST at 166 or wait for something like NE or DET. FFC is pricing MIN way too high at 109.8, but Clay's DST22 ranking makes me skeptical—especially since the scoring rewards sacks, turnovers, and shutouts more than raw 2025 performance. If I take MIN now, I lock in a high-upside play for seats 1, 2, and 12 who all need DST, but I risk leaving NE/DET for later when seats 4 and 11 might still be desperate.

Kickers are tight too—McLaughlin, Mevis, and Loop are all around 148-149, so if I pass on DST, seats 1 and 2 will likely grab two DSTs and two K's between 167-170, leaving me with JAX or KC at 171. But if I take a K now, I might watch 1 and 2 take MIN and NE, and snag DET at 171, which is still elite.

The real edge might be in the bye weeks: Loop's bye 13 is risky for total points, while KC's bye 5 is clean. I should lean toward MIN DST at 166 to secure the outlier 2026 outlook, then pivot to a kicker like McLaughlin at 171 if needed. That way I get the best DST available and cover my seats' needs without overpaying.

I have a clear picture now. I see the picture clearly now. With week 11 as our biggest hole and Kyren, Judkins, and Adams all out, NE DST stands out as the perfect fit—it's a Super Bowl-level defense with elite PA suppression, TDs, and sacks that align perfectly with our scoring. The bye week 11 is manageable since we can stream DST then, and Clay's endorsement makes it even more appealing. MIN is tempting for its sack production and FFC ranking, but NE's scoring profile and playoff upside give it the edge for our specific setup.

I'd go with NE DST right now at 166.

Wk11 FILLED: Dobbins+Marks+Tracy + Chase/Pickens/Sutton/Diggs/Shakir/Goedert/Purdy + MIN DST. Need K not bye 11. Wk14 semi: all but Pickens.

171 K

Avoid extra bye 11 (Mevis LAR) and MIN 6 stack (Reichard). Prefer McLaughlin TB 10 (FFC 148.2) or Butker KC 5 (Clay K7, clean bye) then Pineiro SF 8 / Boswell PIT 9. Loop BAL bye 13 misses last seeding week. Seats 1+2 still need K+DST so McLaughlin/Butker may go; take best remaining non-11.

Bye 6 only stacks Chase; Wk11 (Kyren/Judkins/Adams out) still has MIN. Prefer over NE (Clay DST9 but bye 11 hits our hole), DET (Roto DST24), JAX (22 sacks, boom/bust). Seats 1-2 still need DST so MIN would not last. K at 171: McLaughlin/Butker, not Mevis 11 or Reichard 6.

I’ve got the full schedule compiled and the remaining players mapped out. Let me pull the latest rankings for Sampson and the rest of the QBs, then build the documents you need.

First, Sampson’s Week 5 rankings are locked in—he’s a solid RB2 with upside in CLE.

I’ll include the full FAAB plan with handcuff priorities and streaming calendar next.

I have plenty of information. Time to create the documents. I'll write 8 comprehensive but concise private documents. I see the TE situation clearly—Goedert is locked in, and we need a one-week rental for week 10 since we can't flex. Strange stands out as the best option with his bye and matchup, but we need to free up a roster spot. With 5 bench players (Sutton, Diggs or Shakir, Marks, Tracy, and the bye), dropping Tracy makes the most sense for a temporary TE stream because Marks can handle the RB3 role, and we can reclaim him after. Shakir is a solid WR6, but Tracy's floor is lower, so he's the easier drop for one week. I'll document this in the private notes for the FAAB add and the week 10 roster adjustment.

WorkspaceWeeks 14-17 playoff slate · r1Aug 28, 5:05 AM EDT
FORMAT: 4 teams. Seeds 1-3 by H2H record (total points TB1, points against TB2). Seed 4 = highest total points not already in top 3 H2H. Each round is TWO WEEKS summed.

OBJECTIVE: make the field via H2H or via seed-4 points. Then win 14-15 and 16-17. Do not punt Wk13.

W14 (semi game 1) — Pickens BYE Chase vs KC (home) Kyren @SF Judkins vs ATL Adams @SF (Kyren stack; Purdy anti) Dobbins @NYJ Sutton @NYJ Goedert vs IND Purdy vs LAR Diggs vs HOU (if treated WSH) Marks @WSH Shakir @GB Tracy @SEA (probably sit) MIN @NE Butker @CIN START: Purdy / Kyren / Judkins / Chase / Adams / Goedert / Dobbins / Sutton / Butker / MIN Sit Pickens (bye), Marks, Shakir, Tracy, Diggs unless Sutton is out.

W15 (semi game 2) Chase @CAR — smash Pickens @LAR vs Kyren+Adams — start all three Judkins @NYG Dobbins @LV Sutton @LV Goedert vs SEA Purdy @LAC MIN vs DET (keep; PA risk vs DET but Flores engine) Butker vs NE START default. Two-week total: Pickens W14 zero must be offset by Chase @CAR + Kyren/Adams vs DAL.

W16 (finals game 1) Chase @IND Kyren @SEA Pickens vs JAX Judkins @BAL (tough) Adams @SEA Dobbins vs BUF (tough) Goedert vs HOU Purdy @KC MIN vs WSH Butker vs SF (Purdy anti — start both) Possible flex swap: Sutton vs BUF or Diggs @MIN vs Dobbins if DEN is game-script dead.

W17 (finals game 2) Chase vs BAL Kyren @TB Pickens vs NYG Judkins vs IND Adams @TB Dobbins @NE Goedert @SF (Purdy stack/anti — start both) Purdy vs PHI MIN @NYJ Butker @LAC Flex: Dobbins @NE vs Sutton @NE (same game) vs Marks @GB vs Diggs @JAX.

PLAYOFF PHILOSOPHY
- Start every every-week stud even in antis (Chase/Kyren/Adams/Purdy/Butker).
- Two-week rounds punish one-week streams. Do not drop MIN/Butker/Goedert for a one-week dart in W14.
- If we are out of H2H seed 1-3 entering Wk12-13, maximize total points (seed 4). That means never sitting Chase/Pickens/Kyren for "matchups."
- Correlation: LAR stack in W14-15 is a feature. DEN stack W15-16 is a feature. DAL W14 absence is already priced.
WorkspaceFAAB cuffs and bid plan · r1Aug 28, 5:05 AM EDT
FAAB = rolling sealed bid. No first-come. No trades. Assume $100 until proven. Spend for championship RB injuries; do not nickle-and-dime WR4s.

OWNED ELSEWHERE (do not bid) RJ Harvey DEN RB2 — Seat 9 (88) Jonah Coleman DEN RB3 — Seat 7 (162) Blake Corum LAR RB2 — Seat 7 (90) David Montgomery HOU RB1 — Seat 4 (52) Cam Skattebo NYG RB1 — Seat 11 (38) If any of those hit waivers after a cut, bid aggressively (Harvey 25-40 if Dobbins down; Corum 20-35 if Kyren down; Monty 15-25 as Marks' lead).

PRIORITY CUFFS (catalog)
1. Dylan Sampson CLE RB2 — player_111753f84010b84b417b8d7c
DC rank 2 behind Judkins (8/18). Clay RB54 / FFC ADP 174.5 / Roto 185. Judkins 2025 ankle+fibula history + 8/24 "nagging" then back at practice (draft-time notes). Bid 8-12% stash if unowned Week 1. If Judkins misses a game: 20-30%. Bye 11 (same as Judkins — does not cover Wk11, only injury).
1. Najee Harris — player_07fc8e7549259fc8be91d8dd catalog UNATTACHED. Clay RB84 bye=8 / Roto 282. Only if he lands on NYG/HOU/CLE. Do not bid blindly.
2. Tyler Badie DEN RB4 — player_2a1cfb34d6f2fd1744b39e51 (DC 8/18). Only if Harvey+Coleman both gone and Dobbins injured. Spec $1-3.
Raheim Sanders CLE RB3 player_8db01836075f6ce08f88dbc9 is on CLE DC but not in reviewed ranking catalog — treat as last-resort, $0-1. Jawhar Jordan HOU RB3 and Devin Singletary NYG RB3 appeared on 8/18 depth chart; Singletary/Jordan IDs failed reviewed ranking catalog. Do not plan bids on unreviewed IDs; re-search at FAAB time.

TE STASH (calendar, not cuff) Brenton Strange player2d0c2890aa65af1b5afb5e1e JAX — Wk10 Goedert cover. Bid 3-7% in Wk9 window. Schultz player98938f95010b6790c6a88c2a HOU alt (bye 8, plays Wk10). Skip Engram/Otton (bye 10).

QB STASH Do not roster a 2nd QB until Purdy news. Wk7-8 window: Jordan Love player3155020a1d45271322a1d3f4. Daniel Jones player2d1ff534277715a6e97c0c7f if Love gone. Bid 2-6% for one week.

DST / K Stream only. BUF DST dst:nflteambuf:2026 Wk6 @LV. Boswell player510b880dc93f3c617e5183d3 Wk5 vs IND. Santos player972a7fbcc1a51de74b5e1db3 CHI Wk5 @GB (bye 10 later). McPherson player_68bd6288ed0a66115d54b378 CIN Wk5 @MIA but bye 6 next week — one-week only.

DROP ORDER (if we must add) 1 Shakir (WR6, already have 5 WR) except do not drop him if we are already thin at WR that week. 2 Tracy (RB5) — NEVER drop before Wk11 is played. 3 Marks only if Monty has fully buried him AND we have 3 other healthy RBs. Never drop Chase/Kyren/Pickens/Judkins/Adams/Goedert/Purdy/Butker/MIN without a replacement already in the slot.

BID DISCIPLINE
- Save 40%+ for a league-winning RB injury (Judkins/Kyren/Dobbins).
- Do not bid on extra WR unless Chase or Pickens misses multiple weeks.
- Never bid against ourselves for streaming DST/K above $3 unless the matchup is BUF@LV quality.
- Confirm FAAB remaining on the league UI each window; these % are of original $100.
WorkspaceScoring, ranks, and decision rules · r1Aug 28, 5:05 AM EDT
SCORING (do not use full-PPR intuition) Pass: 0.04/yd (1 per 25), 4/TD, -2 INT Rush/rec: 0.1/yd, 6/TD, 0.5/catch 2PT=2, fumble lost=-2 K: XP=1; FG 0-39=3, 40-49=4, 50+=5; miss FG=-1 DST: sack=1, INT=2, FR=2, safety=2, blocked=2, TD=6, def 2PT=2 PA: 0→10, 1-6→7, 7-13→4, 14-17→1, 18-27→0, 28-34→-1, 35+→-4 Yards allowed DISABLED. No yardage bonuses.

DECISION IMPLICATIONS
- 0.5 PPR: possession WR (Diggs/Shakir/Sutton) still playable but TD WRs (Chase/Pickens/Adams) are the spine.
- 4pt pass TD: Purdy is a points QB not a rushing QB. Do not panic vs 4pt elite unless he is injured. Streaming rushing QBs (none leftover at Dart/Allen/Lamar tier) is not available.
- 50+ FG = 5 and miss = -1: volume + accuracy. Butker 2025 33/38 (5/8 from 50+) was why we took him over McLaughlin. Do not stream a 50+ hero who misses.
- DST is PA + sack + TO. Flores/MIN profile (2025 49 sacks, 13 FR, 19.6 PA) fits. Do not chase yards-allowed rankings.
RANK SOURCES (prefer in order for this format) 1 FFC half-PPR ADP (market) 2 Rotoballer half-PPR ranks 3 Clay Top 300 PPR (role/bye useful; scoring is full PPR — discount WR catch-only) Never treat Underdog best-ball as redraft start/sit. Clay bye tags were the bye source of record and matched getteambye_evidence.

EPOCH TOOLS Future windows may add/remove tools. If getweekodds / projections / historical stats work, use them for start/sit. If they fail, fall back to this doc + schedule grids. FAAB windows: searchplayers + rankings + news for the exact unowned list that week. Depth charts are role evidence not guarantees. Do not claim live internet in later epochs unless that epoch grants searchweb.

ROSTER CONSTRUCTION LESSONS (do not repeat) Last locked TE1 > leftover WR. Bye-11 hole needed a 3rd/4th RB, not a 6th WR. Skip concussion-prone 1QB (Dart). Do not stack K/QB byes (Pineiro+Purdy W8). Do not stack K with Chase+MIN (McPherson W6). Diggs catalog may lag real team — verify 53-man.

Workspace12-team landscape and championship path · r1Aug 28, 5:05 AM EDT
12 teams, snake, 15 rounds, NO TRADES. Our seat 3.

HOW WE WIN
1. Weekly ceiling from Chase + Kyren + Pickens to win H2H.
2. Depth to survive Wk10/11 byes so we do not gift losses.
3. Total-points floor for seed 4 if H2H is 7-6/6-7.
4. Two-week playoff roster that is full in 15-17 and only missing Pickens in 14.
RIVAL CORES (from final_draft) S1: Gibbs, Jacobs (suspension/groin risk was our fade), Bowers, Lamar + Mayfield, Mason, Kincaid, NE DST, Mevis. Elite RB+TE+QB. WR thinner (Doubs). Dangerous in playoffs if Jacobs plays. S2: Bijan, Rice, McBride, Andrews, Caleb, Hampton, Kamara, Pittman, JAX DST. Best RB + dual TE. Our hardest H2H if Rice is healthy. S4: Puka, Jeanty, Olave, Monty, LaPorta, TLaw, PHI DST, Loop. Puka+Jeanty ceiling. Olave concussion history. They own Monty (our Marks' lead). S5: CMC, Nico, DeVonta, Irving, Maye+Nix, Kraft, Worthy, Bates, BAL DST. CMC health is their season. Dual QB is a Wk8/11 advantage vs us. S6: JT, AJ Brown, Hall, Hurts+Goff, Henderson, Pollard, Freiermuth. Classic sturdy. Hurts weeks can outscore Purdy. S7: Cook, KW3, Burrow+Dart, McMillan, Corum+Coleman (our cuffs!), Fairbairn, DEN DST. They own both Corum and Coleman — we cannot cuff Kyren or Dobbins. S8: JSN, Saquon, Allen, Swift, Kelce, Aubrey, PIT DST. Allen+Saquon+JSN is a playoff monster. Respect every week. S9: ARSB, Henry, Nabers (ACL risk), Daniels+Stafford, Love ARI, Harvey (Dobbins cuff), MHJ, LAR DST. Harvey owned. Nabers may be dead capital. S10: Achane, London, Higgins, ETN, Herbert, Pitts, SEA DST, Dicker. Volatile RB. Herbert is the QB we skipped. S11: Jefferson, Hampton, Flowers, Skattebo (Tracy's lead), Kittle, Mahomes, LAC DST, Pineiro. Jefferson+Mahomes playoff ceiling. Skattebo ownership caps Tracy. S12: Lamb, Chase Brown, Javonte, Warren TE, Dak+Kyler, Odunze, DET DST. Lamb vs our Pickens is a DAL split. Dual QB.

OUR EDGE
- Chase is the league's best remaining WR after Gibbs/Bijan went 1-2.
- Bye construction is better than most (W11 filled with 3 RB; W14 only Pickens).
- Goedert is a locked TE1 after the Bowers/McBride/LaPorta/Kittle/Kelce run.
- Weakness: Purdy vs Allen/Lamar/Hurts/Daniels in a single-week shootout. Two-week playoffs dampen that. Wk8 empty QB is the H2H leak — must win the stream.
- Weakness: no Kyren/Dobbins cuff on our roster. FAAB Sampson is the only owned-able Judkins cuff.
H2H STRATEGY Never sit studs. Accept LAR/DEN stacks. Stream correctly W5/W6/W8/W10 so we do not drop easy losses. Track total points weekly; if 2+ games back in H2H after Wk10, play max points for seed 4.

HIGH Judkins (CLE DC RB1): 2025 Wk15/16 fibula + dislocated ankle (14 GP, 230-827-7, 66% rush share). Draft notes: 8/15 preseason 4 carries; 8/24 back practicing after 2-day nagging. Monitor every practice report. Cuff = Sampson (DC RB2). If inactive, Sampson is the FAAB, not Sanders.

Dobbins (DEN DC RB1 over Harvey/Coleman): 2025 10 GP then season-ending injury. Re-signed 2yr. Durability is the roster's biggest non-bye risk. Harvey owned Seat 9 — if Dobbins goes down we bid Harvey only if Seat 9 cuts him (unlikely). Badie is DC RB4 last resort. 8/22 "I feel great" is stale camp talk — verify Week 1.

Purdy (SF DC QB1): 2025 9 GP (toe + shoulder) but 20 pass TD in those 9 and a Wk15-17 spike. Camp reports called him consistent. Backup Mac Jones on 8/18 DC; Mac Jones not in reviewed search catalog. If Purdy sits, FAAB Love/Jones/Rodgers not an unreviewed backup.

MED Diggs: catalog UNATTACHED as of identity snapshot. ESPN 8/5 sources-to-sign + 8/7 "settles in with Commanders" headlines (HEADLINEOREXCERPT only). Clay bye 7 matches WSH. WSH DC 8/18 has unnamed WR2 slot (espnPlayerId 2976212) which is consistent with a late signing not mapped. Role = WR2 behind McLaurin (Seat 2). Age-33, low-TD, legal history. Floor not ceiling. If unsigned or cut, drop immediately.

Tracy (NYG DC RB2 behind Skattebo 8/18): 2025 15 GP 176-740-2 + 36-288-2. Skattebo is Seat 11. Tracy is a handcuff/committee, not a locked RB3 except Wk11.

Marks (HOU DC RB2 behind Monty Seat 4): 2025 16 GP 196-703-2 + 24 rec. Jane Slater camp note (draft-time) split reps. If Monty dominates, Marks is Wk11-only.

Adams age-33 / Puka-capped. Still start vs all but bye. Puka is Seat 4 — if Puka misses, Adams is a smash WR1.

LOW / MONITOR Chase 8/25 left-knee hyperextension he said he could have practiced through (draft note). Treat as healthy until tagged. Pickens franchise-tagged, DAL WR2 behind Lamb. No injury flag. Goedert: AJ Brown now NE; red-zone role should hold. TD regression from 11 is priced. Kyren: Corum Seat 7 is the only real committee threat. Start Kyren always.

WEEK 1 CHECKLIST (next epoch) 1 Confirm Diggs on WSH 53-man. 2 Judkins practice participation. 3 Dobbins practice participation vs Harvey. 4 Purdy first-team reps / no toe limitation. 5 MIN D/ST starting front (Greenard status). 6 Butker no camp miss.

SIT/START RULES
- 1QB: never two QBs. Stream only Wk8 or Purdy inactive.
- Two-week playoffs: do not overreact to Wk14 Pickens zero; Wk15 must cover.
- If Judkins inactive: Marks then Tracy into RB2; Dobbins stays FLEX if healthy.
- If Dobbins inactive: Sutton still WR4; FLEX Marks.
- If Purdy inactive: see stream-plan (Love first). Mac Jones is SF QB2 on 8/18 depth chart but not in reviewed search catalog — cannot assume FAAB-able.
- H2H weeks: start ceiling (Chase, Pickens, Kyren). Total-points race: same, avoid leaving elite sit. Seed 4 is highest total points outside top-3 H2H.
WorkspaceQB DST K TE stream cheat sheet · r1Aug 28, 5:05 AM EDT
STREAMING RULES Roster is 15. Every add requires a drop. Use Shakir as the streaming roster chip after Wk7 (his bye). Keep Tracy through Wk11. MIN and Butker are set-and-forget except their byes.

DST — PA buckets: 0=10, 1-6=7, 7-13=4, 14-17=1, 18-27=0, 28-34=-1, 35+=-4. Sacks 1, INT/FR 2, TD 6. Yards allowed DISABLED.

W6 MIN bye. Priority leftover: 1 BUF @LV (FFC 161.6). LV offense is the smash spot. 2 KC vs LAC (Clay DST11 leftover). Home vs Chargers. 3 CHI @ATL (FFC 168.6) — weaker. Avoid: SF vs WSH (meh), NO @NYG (NO bye is W8 not W6; still weak ranking). Drafted, unavailable: HOU DEN SEA LAR PIT BAL LAC PHI JAX NE DET MIN.

Later DST streams if MIN has a 28+ PA trap: W14 MIN @NE is keep. W15 MIN vs DET is keep unless DET is a shootout and a smash DST is on waivers. Do not drop MIN for playoffs unless injured-bye collision (there is none).

QB — 4pt TD, 0.04/yard, -2 INT. 1QB. Stream only Wk8 or Purdy inactive.

W8 SF bye. Leftover starters who play:
- Jordan Love GB vs CAR (best leftover, FFC 150.5, Roto 110, Clay QB22)
- Daniel Jones IND @JAX (Clay QB19, FFC 166.9)
- Aaron Rodgers PIT vs CLE (Roto 193, Clay QB30)
- Cam Ward TEN vs CLE (FFC 165.2) — two QBs vs CLE that week; Love still first
- Tua ATL vs SF wait: ATL W8 @TB. Tua Clay QB32 — only if others gone
Avoid Stroud (HOU bye W8). Geno NYJ vs LV is playable but Clay QB28.

If Purdy misses a non-bye week: Love first, then Jones, then Rodgers. Do not use Mac Jones (SF QB2 on 8/18 DC) unless he is added to reviewed catalog and named starter.

K — XP 1; FG 0-39=3, 40-49=4, 50+=5; miss -1.

W5 KC bye. Leftover:
- Boswell PIT vs IND (Clay K13, FFC 174.8) — indoor-ish volume, bye 9 later
- Santos CHI @GB (Clay K11, FFC 175.2) — bye 10
- McPherson CIN @MIA (Clay K15) — Chase stack but then CIN bye W6 so one-week only
Do not stream a kicker with a 50+ miss-heavy profile just for one week if $ is tight; sitting K is worse than a $1 Boswell.

TE — Wk10 only unless Goedert injury. Strange JAX @TEN (Clay TE21 / FFC 170.3 / Roto 143) Schultz HOU @CLE (Clay TE23 / FFC 175.4 / Roto 181) Njoku LAC @BAL (Clay TE31) — tough spot Skip same-bye: Engram DEN, Otton TB, Kmet CHI.

Add Strange in the Wk9 FAAB window. Drop him after Wk10 unless he outplays Goedert (unlikely).

Slot notebookhanded to its draft agent

Slot choice: 3 of 12 (locked)

Season 2026, 12-team half-PPR snake, 15 rounds, NO TRADES, FAAB only. Roster 1QB / 2RB / 2WR / 1TE / 2FLEX / 1K / 1DST / 5BN. 4-pt pass TD, 0.5 PPR. Regular season Weeks 1-13; 4 playoff teams; seeds 1-3 by H2H (total points, then PA); seed 4 leftover points leader; two-week semis 14-15 and finals 16-17.

Taken before us: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7. We took 3 over remaining 6/8/9/10/11/12.

Our picks: 3, 22, 27, 46, 51, 70, 75, 94, 99, 118, 123, 142, 147, 166, 171.

Why 3, not 6 or 8

Highest remaining first-pick talent: Puka (FFC 3.0) or Chase (FFC 3.9) after 1-2 take Gibbs/Bijan.
Unique remaining shape: THREE players by pick 27 (3/22/27), then another cluster at 46/51. Pos 6 is 6/19/30; pos 8 is 8/17 then a wait to 32. In a no-trade 2-FLEX league the third starter still in the Hampton/Jacobs/Kyren/Love/Olave/Nabers/McMillan band is more useful than a slightly prettier 8/17 pair.
3+22+27 = 52 vs 6+19+30 = 55 vs 8+17+32 = 57. Best early capital among leftovers.
Competing agents preferred 4/5 (20-21 vs our 22) and 7/18 over 3/22. Fade that: they overweighted turn aesthetics vs Chase/Puka weekly ceiling, which compounds in H2H, seed-4 points, and two-week playoffs.
Avoid 9-12: no star, long wait to 33-36, depth-not-ceiling. Avoid 6 only because 3 still reaches the last workhorse RBs at 22 if the board is WR-heavy.

Opening plan (flexible BPA, not a script)

Default: Hero WR at 3, lock an every-week RB at 22, BPA WR2/RB2 at 27, then 46/51 fill FLEX + the first of QB/TE.

Pick 3: Chase or Puka. Prefer Chase if both sit (Burrow + volume ceiling). Take Puka if Chase is gone. Do NOT take JSN over Chase/Puka. Only smash Bijan/Gibbs if 1-2 inexplicably go WR-WR.

Pick 22 (after 19-pick drought): prioritize RB. Primary: Hampton, Jacobs, KW3 (KC), Kyren, Jeremiyah Love (ARI). If two of those plus a falling WR1/2 (Olave, Nabers, Flowers, leftover Nico/AJB/Pickens) are up, still take the RB unless a true outlier (Bowers/McBride AND we already have a plan for two RBs at 27/46). Do not take Allen here in 1QB/4pt unless the RB board is a wasteland.

Pick 27: second starter from the same RB band or WR2 (Olave, Nabers, Flowers, McMillan, G.Wilson, DeVonta, Egbuka). If 22 was RB, lean WR unless a second RB is clearly the best player and WR depth at 46 is fine. Avoid double-dipping the same bye if evidence exists; ranking runtime often lacks byes so check getplayerbye_evidence before locking stacks.

Picks 46/51: FLEX + QB or TE. Do not leave 51 without at least 2 RB and 2 WR on the roster. TE: only McBride/Bowers if they somehow slide; otherwise Loveland/Warren are the next tier (~42-72 depending on source). QB: Maye / Lamar / Burrow / Daniels / Hurts are the 5-6 round band; Allen only if he falls into 27-46. One QB is enough unless a second is a true late value.

Picks 70/75 and 94/99: finish FLEX/bench RB-WR, then the remaining of QB/TE. Mid-round RB pool to research: Javonte, Breece, Skattebo, ETN (NO), Swift, Irving, Judkins, Tuten, Monty (HOU), Henderson, Price, Warren (PIT), Stevenson, Pollard. Mid-round WR: Adams, Jamo, McConkey, McLaurin, DJ Moore (BUF), Waddle (DEN), Odunze, Evans (SF), Watson, Pierce, Sutton.

K/DST: last two rounds (166/171 or 147/166). Stream via FAAB. Do not draft K/DST before round 13.

Format / process rules the later agent must not forget

No trades: never draft a 3rd QB or 3rd TE early; never leave a starting hole to "trade for it." 3-4 RB and 4-5 WR by the end is the spine; 2FLEX can be WR-heavy after a real RB2 is secured.
Rankings hygiene: prefer FFC half-PPR ADP + Rotoballer half-PPR editorial + ESPN Clay as independent color. FantasyPros half-PPR composite is correlated with Yahoo/Sleeper/RTSports — do not triple-count. Underdog is best ball. CBS/ESPN ADP are full-PPR or undeclared.
TE cliff is real but ADP-split: McBride/Bowers go ~20-24 on ESPN/FP and ~38-43 on FFC. Do not panic-reach at 22 if RB/WR value is cleaner; the next tier is Loveland then Warren, then a sharp drop (Fannin, Pitts, Kraft, LaPorta).
1QB / 4pt passing TD: QB is deep after Allen. Reaching for Allen at 22 is usually a mistake.
Information is one frozen snapshot. News/outlooks are untrusted evidence; open articles before citing. Bye metadata often missing in rank strings — use getplayerbye_evidence.
Playoffs are two-week 14-17: slightly prefer players with stable roles over pure late-season lottery tickets, but do not tank the regular season for a playoff schedule you cannot verify.

2026 context already captured (re-check if drafting them)

KW3-KC, AJB-NE, ETN-NO, Monty-HOU, Evans-SF, DJ Moore-BUF, Waddle-DEN, Kyler-MIN, Jeremiyah Love-ARI, Hampton-LAC, Jeanty-LV, Pickens-DAL. Rice ADP is much earlier on FFC (15.2) than Rotoballer/FP (~32-37) — treat as disputed, not a 2nd-round lock.

Likely first-round flow we will see

1-2: Gibbs, Bijan. 3: us (Chase or Puka). 4-5: leftover of Chase/Puka/JSN. 6: Taylor or CMC. 7: ARSB or the other workhorse. 8-12: Cook, Henry, Achane, London, Lamb, Jefferson, Jeanty, Brown, Rice. That is why 22 is an RB2/WR2 pick, not an RB1 pick — plan for it, do not tilt.

Open questions for draft-time research (do not block pick 3)

Hampton vs Jacobs vs KW3-KC vs Love-ARI vs Kyren: who is the most stable 3-down RB at 22?
Nabers health/role, Rice legal/suspension risk, CMC age/workload if he slides to 22.
Loveland vs Warren vs waiting for Kraft/LaPorta/Pitts — which TE path fits 46/51 vs 70/75?
Which mid-round RBs have feature-back paths vs pure committees (Judkins, Tuten, Price, Henderson, Skattebo)?
Confirm any new frozen news on Chase/Puka/Burrow/Stafford before pick 3.
Stack discipline: Chase+Burrow or Puka+Stafford is fine later, not a reason to reach.

First-pick cheat sheet

If available at 3, take in this order unless news breaks: Chase, Puka, Bijan, Gibbs, JSN. Do not take Taylor/CMC/ARSB at 3 while Chase or Puka is up.

Draft position choice — in progress

Season 2026, 12-team half-PPR, snake 15 rounds, NO TRADES. Roster: 1QB 2RB 2WR 1TE 2FLEX 1K 1DST 5BN. 4-pt pass TD. Regular season 13 weeks; 4 playoff teams; seeds 1-3 by H2H (points TB), seed 4 highest leftover points; two-week playoffs 14-15 and 16-17. FAAB only after draft. Must draft a complete balanced roster.

Remaining slots

3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ALREADY TAKEN by other agents: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 They preferred elite RB (1/2), elite WR with a slightly earlier 2nd pick than 3 (4=21, 5=20 vs 3=22), and the 7/18 turn over 6/19.

Market / rankings (prefer FFC half-PPR ADP + Rotoballer half-PPR + FP composite; do not treat FP composite as independent of Yahoo)

Elite RB: Gibbs 1.5, Bijan 2.3 (gone at 1-2 almost always) Elite WR: Puka FFC 3.0 / RB3 / FP4; Chase FFC 3.9 / RB4 / FP3; JSN FFC 5.2; ARSB FFC 7.9 Next RB: Taylor FFC 6.1, CMC 6.6, Cook 9.3, Henry 9.7, Achane 11.8, Jeanty 14.8, Chase Brown 15.3, Saquon 17.5, KW3 (now KC) 21.2, Hampton 24.2, Jacobs 24.9, Kyren 27.2, Jeremiyah Love (ARI) 29.3 Next WR: London 12.3, Lamb 12.5, Jefferson 14.5, Rice 15.2 (FP/Rotoballer much later ~32-37), AJB (now NE) 19.6, Pickens (DAL) 19.9, Nico 20.1, Olave 23.7, Flowers 26, Nabers 27.2, McMillan 31.1, G.Wilson 31.5, DeVonta 31.8, Egbuka 33.7, Higgins 36.2 TE cliff: Bowers/McBride ADP wildly split — ESPN/FP ~20-24, FFC 37.7/43.1, Rotoballer ~23-30. Then Loveland ~42-62, Warren ~51-72, then sharp drop (Fannin/Pitts/Kraft/LaPorta). QB: Allen only early (FFC 32.8 vs FP 19). Then Maye/Lamar/Burrow/Daniels ~rounds 5-6. 1QB 4pt — do not reach early unless Allen falls into our lap.

Likely first-pick outcomes if we take each

Pos 3: Puka or Chase (Gibbs/Bijan off 1-2). If 1-2 go Gibbs+WR, could smash Bijan — low probability. Pos 6: Taylor or CMC or ARSB after 3-5 take remaining of Puka/Chase/JSN/Taylor. Pos 8: leftover of ARSB/Cook/Henry (maybe Taylor if 3-7 go WR-heavy). Pos 12: two of London/Lamb/Jefferson/Jeanty/Achane/Chase Brown/Rice at 12/13.

Construction sketches

Pos 3 Hero WR: R1 Chase/Puka; 22 RB (Hampton/Jacobs/Kyren/Love or KW3 slide); 27 WR2 (Olave/Nabers/Flowers/McMillan) or 2nd RB; 46/51 FLEX + QB/TE. Risk: miss true RB1; 19-pick drought. Mitigant: 22/27/46/51 fills four more starters. Pos 6 Hero RB: Taylor/CMC then 19 still premium (AJB/Pickens/Nico/KW3/Bowers/McBride/Allen if FP ADP). Cleanest balanced spine among remaining early slots. Pos 8: two top-17 players (ARSB/Cook + Nico/AJB/Pickens/Saquon). Best remaining early turn. Then 32/41 for Love/McMillan/Wilson/Egbuka/Higgins/TE. Pos 12: two top-13 but no true star; long wait to 36. Depth, not ceiling. 9/10/11 worse versions of 8 or 12.

Decision lean (not locked)

Strongest remaining talent is pick 3 (Chase/Puka) — competing agents left it because 22 is worse than 20/21. For no-trade championship (H2H + total points + two-week playoffs), elite weekly ceiling compounds. Runner-up: 8 for turn quality, then 6 for last workhorse RB. Avoid 9-12 unless new evidence says late-round RB/WR is unusually deep.

Open questions for next turn (optional, not blocking)
- Confirm mid-round RB depth (Judkins, Irving, Swift, Tuten, Henderson, Price) if worried about Hero WR at 3.
- 2026 team-change notes already captured: KW3-KC, AJB-NE, ETN-NO, Monty-HOU, Evans-SF, DJ Moore-BUF, Waddle-DEN, Kyler-MIN, Love-ARI, Hampton-LAC, Jeanty-LV.

I have a lot of ranking data now. Let me think carefully about which remaining position is best. I’m leaning toward position 12 for the draft. It’s the latest slot that still gives me a full 15-round window to build a balanced roster without rushing into the later tiers where the ADP starts to diverge from my own rankings. With 12 teams and a 15-round snake, picking at 12 means 19 picks before my next turn at 22, then another mini-turn at 27, and so on—plenty of time to grab two elite RBs and two elite WRs while still having FLEX options later.

The ADP shows Gibbs and Bijan already gone (positions 1 and 2), so the next 19 picks will almost certainly be Puka, Chase, JSN, Taylor, CMC, ARSB, Cook, Henry, Achane, London, Lamb, Jefferson, Jeanty, Rice, Brown, Saquon, AJB, Pickens, and Nico. That leaves me at 22 with a clean RB 2 / WR 2 pair like Hampton, Jacobs, Kyren, Love, Flowers, Nabers, Olave, or McBride—exactly the kind of mid-tier studs that can still win weeks in H2H and two-week playoffs.

Position 12 also avoids the risk of over-relying on one superstar WR 1 (like Puka or Chase) while the RB room gets thin. I can take a true RB1 at 22, a WR1 at 27, and then two more high-end pieces at 46/51 or 51/56. That gives me the 2RB + 2WR + FLEX 2 structure I need without reaching for anything past round 10.

Compared to 3 or 6, 12 gives me more spacing and less chance of a 19-pick drought that leaves me with only RB2s and WR2s. I can still hit the championship construction: elite weekly ceiling from the first two 19s, plus enough depth to survive bye weeks and two-week matchups. I think 12 is the safest and most balanced spot left.

Position 3 is the best remaining slot: Chase/Puka plus the 22/27 cluster yields three starters before the mid-round cliff, which a no-trade 2-FLEX build needs more than a prettier turn at 8.

Maximize exact full scorelines, then exact individual-team scores, then correct winners, then lowest SSE. SSE penalizes 25 for any wrong winner/tie mismatch.

Environment

Week 1 finals: CIN 16 DET 14; PIT 28 GB 9; NE 13 IND 13; LAC 27 HOU 7; ARI 27 LV 14; TEN 19 SF 13; DEN 27 ATL 7; WAS 20 MIA 7; TB 24 NYJ 16; BUF 29 CAR 14; CHI 34 CLE 10; MIN 13 NYG 10; LAR 20 KC 12; JAX 24 NO 20; BAL 24 PHI 7; DAL 17 SEA 7. Thursday W2: LV 22 HOU 20. W1 totals clustered 23-44 (avg ~34). Week 2 books 36.5-39.5. Bias to modal football numbers 13/17/20/24.

Friday Jets-PIT and CAR-JAX were underway/finished but boxscore pages did not return usable finals. Not on this slate.

Game notes and scores

GB 17 @ DEN 24 (DEN -7, 39.5) Love/starters get another limited drive after a 9-play FG last week; they sit Week 3 for Cardinals joints. Nix ~14 snaps in home debut; Denver depth crushed Atlanta 27-7. Packers backups were overrun 28-9. 24-17 matches the market and common NFL score.

WAS 17 @ DET 20 (DET -4.5, 37.5) Goff confirmed out (first preseason since 2022). Dobbs starts and splits with Altmyer. Campbell still playing a significant number of non-QB starters. Daniels not expected; Mariota out; Hartman/Kaliakmanis handle Washington. Without Goff this is closer than 24-17; 20-17 fits the total.

BUF 17 @ CLE 20 (CLE -1.5 to -3, ~37) Allen sits after extended Week 1 work. Sanders starts the first half vs Kyle Allen/Buechele. Browns offense scored 10 last week; Bills backups looked better. Home QB-audition lean, classic 20-17.

ATL 13 @ IND 20 (IND -3.5, 37-40.5) Both staffs sitting starters after joints. Strand over Rush for Atlanta; Tua out, Penix still ACL-limited. Leonard starts, Richardson in relief; Jones sits all preseason. Falcons managed 7 in Denver. Home depth + weak ATL QB room.

BAL 17 @ MIN 20 (MIN -2.5/-3, 36.5-37.5) Joints prioritized; Murray sits. McCarthy/Wentz vs Huntley/Fagnano. Both won Week 1 (MIN 13-10, BAL 24-7). Backup slog, slight home edge.

NO 17 @ LAR 20 (NO -1 to -3, 37.5) Stafford out again; Simpson had a 2-TD debut vs KC (Rams 20-12). Shough gets more work; Tyson out ~2 months. Line drifted toward pick'em; Covers/betting guide prefer Rams. Take home 20-17.

NYG 17 @ MIA 13 (NYG -2.5/-3.5, 36.5-38) Miami scored a starter TD then collapsed to 7 vs WAS. Giants only 10 vs MIN but Dart/Winston/Haener depth is still better than Miami's Ewers-out/Willis/Miller/Gronowski group. Fight-filled joints. Low-scoring road favorite.

CHI 20 @ CIN 17 (mixed CHI -2.5 / CIN -1.5, 37-40.5) Bears backups 34-10 vs CLE. Bagent hamstring; Keenum expected majority; Caleb maybe a taste. Burrow 13 snaps Week 1 and likely limited again behind a leaky line (Johnson/Clifford later). Trust Chicago depth over Cincinnati backups.

PHI 13 @ NE 17 (PHI -2.5 / NE +3.5 books mixed, ~36.5-38) Hurts and Maye long shots to play. Eagles backups combined for 7 vs BAL. DeVito threw for 138/TD in the 13-13 Colts tie. Fade Philadelphia's second unit at Gillette.

KC 17 @ TB 24 (TB -5.5, 36.5-37) Mayfield's first preseason snaps under Bowles; Mahomes out entirely (Fields/Nussmeier). Bucs 24-16 vs Jets; Chiefs 12 vs Rams. 24-17 maps the spread.

DAL 17 @ ARI 20 (ARI -1/-1.5, 37.5-38) Prescott out; Milton/Howell backup battle. Jeremiyah Love sitting rest of preseason. Beck rib status TBD; Brissett/Minshew/Slovis rotation. Cardinals 27-14; Cowboys 17-7. Slight home lean, modal 20-17.

SEA 13 @ TEN 20 (TEN -3/-4.5, 38-38.5) Ward scattershot in debut; Saleh wants another look; Trubisky dinged so Levis heavy. Seahawks 7 vs DAL; Lock/Milroe bulk, Darnold maybe a series. Price may debut. Home Titans over Seattle backups.

Assumptions

No ties. Cluster 13/17/20/24 for exact-score and exact-team hits. Outcomes: DEN, DET, CLE, IND, MIN, LAR, NYG, CHI, NE, TB, ARI, TEN. Fades: Saints (Tyson/Simpson) and Eagles backups.

Objective carried forward
Predict AWAY and HOME final scores for all 12 frozen 2026 preseason Week 2 games, maximizing exact scorelines then exact team scores then outcomes then lowest SSE.
Tentative predictions
- GB 17 DEN 24
- WAS 17 DET 24
- BUF 17 CLE 20
- ATL 13 IND 20
- BAL 17 MIN 20
- NO 20 LAR 17
- NYG 17 MIA 13
- CHI 20 CIN 17
- PHI 13 NE 17
- KC 17 TB 24
- DAL 17 ARI 20
- SEA 13 TEN 20
Open questions
- Exact Week 2 snap counts for Daniels/Goff, Burrow/Caleb, Dart, Mayfield, Shough, Darnold.
- Whether Friday scoring environment (Jets-PIT, CAR-JAX) is high or low before GB-DEN.
- Latest line moves after Thursday results.
- Whether Bagent plays vs CIN.
- Whether Carson Beck returns vs DAL.
- Whether Saints or Rams are the better depth team despite NO -3.
Assumptions & uncertainty
- Assume no ties; week 1 had one but they are rare.
- Assume home/favorites win most games except PHI@NE (fade PHI backups) and possibly close tossups.
- Bias scores to modal football numbers 13/17/20/24 to maximize exact-score and exact-team hits.
- Week 2 scoring slightly higher than Week 1 but still FG-heavy.
- Conflicting Lions starter reports resolved toward Campbell playing significant starters.
- Instagram W1 recap that flipped Ravens/Eagles and Cowboys/Seahawks scores is unreliable.
Conclusions carried forward
- Slate is unplayed: GB-DEN kicks 2026-08-22T01:00Z; Friday Jets-Steelers/Panthers-Jags are not on this slate.
- Week 1 finals: CIN 16 DET 14; PIT 28 GB 9; NE 13 IND 13; LAC 27 HOU 7; ARI 27 LV 14; TEN 19 SF 13; DEN 27 ATL 7; WAS 20 MIA 7; TB 24 NYJ 16; BUF 29 CAR 14; CHI 34 CLE 10; MIN 13 NYG 10; LAR 20 KC 12; JAX 24 NO 20; BAL 24 PHI 7; DAL 17 SEA 7. Week 2 Thu: LV 22 HOU 20.
- Week 1 totals mostly 23-44, average ~33; Week 2 books 36.5-41.5.
- Most common NFL scorelines historically: 20-17, 27-24, 17-14, 23-20, 24-17, 13-10.
- GB@DEN: Nix ~14 snaps debut; Love/starters extra limited drive after 9-play opener. DEN deeper; Love said he will not play much. Lines DEN -4 to -7, total 38.5-41.5. Covers 67% DEN.
- WAS@DET: Campbell playing significant starters (likely Goff). Quinn: good amount of starters, Daniels not expected. WAS without Mariota. DET -4.5 / 37.5. Covers 64% DET.
- BUF@CLE: Allen out; Sanders starts first half vs Bills backups. CLE -3 / 36.5. Browns crushed 34-10 last week; Bills backups looked better.
- ATL@IND: Jones/starters sit. Leonard 1H, Richardson 2H. Tua not playing; Penix ACL; Jack Strand likely. IND -3.5 / 36.5.
- BAL@MIN: Joint practices instead of starters. Murray sits; McCarthy/Wentz get looks. Huntley for BAL. MIN -3.5 / 36.5.
- NO@LAR: Stafford sits; Simpson/Bennett. Shough more work; Tyson out 2 months. Market NO -3 / 37.5 despite road.
- NYG@MIA: Giants -2.5 / 37.5. Miami depth collapsed after Willis TD drive in W1. Fight-filled joint practice. Dart concussion-tent issues.
- CHI@CIN: CHI -1.5 / 36.5. Bears backups 34-10. Bagent hamstring, Keenum likely bulk. Burrow maybe limited.
- PHI@NE: PHI -1.5 / 36.5. Hurts/Maye likely sit. PHI backups scored 7 vs BAL. Joint practices; AJ Brown vs former team.
- KC@TB: TB -5.5 / 37.5. Mayfield starts first preseason action. Mahomes out; Fields/Nussmeier. Covers 67% TB.
- DAL@ARI: ARI -1.5 / 37.5. Jeremiyah Love sitting rest of preseason. Milton/Howell vs ARI QBs; Beck maybe back from rib.
- SEA@TEN: TEN -4.5 / 38.5. Ward another look; Trubisky hurt so Levis more. SEA Lock/Milroe; Darnold maybe series. Price may debut.
Remaining work
- Optional last-pass searches on remaining starter notes and Friday live scores if time.
- Update workspace with rationale.
- Submit all 12 predictions before 2026-08-22T00:45:00Z.

Tentative predictions
- WAS 17 DET 20
- NO 17 LAR 20
Open questions
- Friday Jets-PIT and CAR-JAX finals not extractable from available pages.
- Exact snap counts for Shough, Dart, Mayfield, Darnold, Burrow, Caleb.
- Whether Bagent is active vs CIN.
Assumptions & uncertainty
- No ties; W1 had one but they are rare.
- Bias to modal 13/17/20/24 to maximize exact score and exact-team hits.
- Goff-out makes DET closer than Covers 24-17 lean; still take DET.
- Fade Saints road favorite after Tyson injury and Simpson W1; fade PHI backups.
- Assume home/favorites win most remaining games.
- Week 2 scoring slightly higher than W1 but still FG-heavy.
Conclusions
- Slate unplayed; GB-DEN kicks 2026-08-22T01:00Z. Friday Jets-PIT/CAR-JAX not on this slate and finals were not extractable from boxscore pages.
- Week 1 finals established; Thursday W2 LV 22 HOU 20. W1 totals mostly 23-44 avg ~34; books 36.5-39.5.
- GB@DEN: Nix ~14 snaps debut; Love/starters extra limited drive after 9-play FG. DEN deeper after 27-7. DEN -7 / 39.5. Covers 67% DEN.
- WAS@DET: Goff confirmed out; Dobbs starts, splits with Altmyer. Campbell still playing significant non-QB starters. Daniels/Mariota out; Hartman bulk. DET -4.5 / 37.5.
- BUF@CLE: Allen out; Sanders first half vs Bills backups. CLE -1.5 to -3 / ~37.
- ATL@IND: Both starters sit. Strand starts ATL; Leonard 1H, Richardson 2H. IND -3.5 / 37-40.5.
- BAL@MIN: Joint practices prioritized; Murray sits; McCarthy/Wentz vs Huntley/Fagnano. MIN -2.5/-3 / 36.5-37.5.
- NO@LAR: Stafford sits; Simpson/Bennett looked good. Shough more work; Tyson out 2 months. Line ~NO -1; Covers/betting guide lean LAR.
- NYG@MIA: Giants -2.5/-3.5. Miami depth collapsed after Willis TD in W1 (7 pts). Dart workload uncertain.
- CHI@CIN: Bears backups 34-10; Bagent hamstring so Keenum majority. Burrow maybe limited. Lines mixed CHI -2.5 vs CIN -1.5.
- PHI@NE: Hurts/Maye sit. PHI backups scored 7; DeVito played well in 13-13 tie. Fade PHI backups.
- KC@TB: Mayfield starts first preseason action; Mahomes out (Fields/Nussmeier). TB -5.5.
- DAL@ARI: Prescott out; Milton/Howell. Love sitting rest of preseason; Beck rib TBD. ARI -1/-1.5.
- SEA@TEN: Ward another look; Trubisky banged up so Levis more. SEA Lock/Milroe; Darnold maybe a series. TEN -3/-4.5.

2026 Preseason Week 2 score predictions

Objective

Maximize exact full scorelines, then exact individual-team scores, then correct winners, then lowest SSE. SSE penalizes 25 for any wrong winner/tie mismatch.

Environment

Week 1 finals: CIN 16 DET 14; PIT 28 GB 9; NE 13 IND 13; LAC 27 HOU 7; ARI 27 LV 14; TEN 19 SF 13; DEN 27 ATL 7; WAS 20 MIA 7; TB 24 NYJ 16; BUF 29 CAR 14; CHI 34 CLE 10; MIN 13 NYG 10; LAR 20 KC 12; JAX 24 NO 20; BAL 24 PHI 7; DAL 17 SEA 7. Thursday W2: LV 22 HOU 20. W1 totals clustered 23-44 (avg ~34). Week 2 books 36.5-39.5. Bias to modal football numbers 13/17/20/24.

Friday Jets-PIT and CAR-JAX were underway/finished but boxscore pages did not return usable finals. Not on this slate.

Game notes and scores

GB 17 @ DEN 24 (DEN -7, 39.5) Love/starters get another limited drive after a 9-play FG last week; they sit Week 3 for Cardinals joints. Nix ~14 snaps in home debut; Denver depth crushed Atlanta 27-7. Packers backups were overrun 28-9. 24-17 matches the market and common NFL score.

WAS 17 @ DET 20 (DET -4.5, 37.5) Goff confirmed out (first preseason since 2022). Dobbs starts and splits with Altmyer. Campbell still playing a significant number of non-QB starters. Daniels not expected; Mariota out; Hartman/Kaliakmanis handle Washington. Without Goff this is closer than 24-17; 20-17 fits the total.

BUF 17 @ CLE 20 (CLE -1.5 to -3, ~37) Allen sits after extended Week 1 work. Sanders starts the first half vs Kyle Allen/Buechele. Browns offense scored 10 last week; Bills backups looked better. Home QB-audition lean, classic 20-17.

ATL 13 @ IND 20 (IND -3.5, 37-40.5) Both staffs sitting starters after joints. Strand over Rush for Atlanta; Tua out, Penix still ACL-limited. Leonard starts, Richardson in relief; Jones sits all preseason. Falcons managed 7 in Denver. Home depth + weak ATL QB room.

BAL 17 @ MIN 20 (MIN -2.5/-3, 36.5-37.5) Joints prioritized; Murray sits. McCarthy/Wentz vs Huntley/Fagnano. Both won Week 1 (MIN 13-10, BAL 24-7). Backup slog, slight home edge.

NO 17 @ LAR 20 (NO -1 to -3, 37.5) Stafford out again; Simpson had a 2-TD debut vs KC (Rams 20-12). Shough gets more work; Tyson out ~2 months. Line drifted toward pick'em; Covers/betting guide prefer Rams. Take home 20-17.

NYG 17 @ MIA 13 (NYG -2.5/-3.5, 36.5-38) Miami scored a starter TD then collapsed to 7 vs WAS. Giants only 10 vs MIN but Dart/Winston/Haener depth is still better than Miami's Ewers-out/Willis/Miller/Gronowski group. Fight-filled joints. Low-scoring road favorite.

CHI 20 @ CIN 17 (mixed CHI -2.5 / CIN -1.5, 37-40.5) Bears backups 34-10 vs CLE. Bagent hamstring; Keenum expected majority; Caleb maybe a taste. Burrow 13 snaps Week 1 and likely limited again behind a leaky line (Johnson/Clifford later). Trust Chicago depth over Cincinnati backups.

PHI 13 @ NE 17 (PHI -2.5 / NE +3.5 books mixed, ~36.5-38) Hurts and Maye long shots to play. Eagles backups combined for 7 vs BAL. DeVito threw for 138/TD in the 13-13 Colts tie. Fade Philadelphia's second unit at Gillette.

KC 17 @ TB 24 (TB -5.5, 36.5-37) Mayfield's first preseason snaps under Bowles; Mahomes out entirely (Fields/Nussmeier). Bucs 24-16 vs Jets; Chiefs 12 vs Rams. 24-17 maps the spread.

DAL 17 @ ARI 20 (ARI -1/-1.5, 37.5-38) Prescott out; Milton/Howell backup battle. Jeremiyah Love sitting rest of preseason. Beck rib status TBD; Brissett/Minshew/Slovis rotation. Cardinals 27-14; Cowboys 17-7. Slight home lean, modal 20-17.

SEA 13 @ TEN 20 (TEN -3/-4.5, 38-38.5) Ward scattershot in debut; Saleh wants another look; Trubisky dinged so Levis heavy. Seahawks 7 vs DAL; Lock/Milroe bulk, Darnold maybe a series. Price may debut. Home Titans over Seattle backups.

Assumptions

No ties. Cluster 13/17/20/24 for exact-score and exact-team hits. Outcomes: DEN, DET, CLE, IND, MIN, LAR, NYG, CHI, NE, TB, ARI, TEN. Fades: Saints (Tyson/Simpson) and Eagles backups.

I have a lot of good information. Let me continue gathering remaining starter notes and Friday live scores, then lock predictions. I should also update the workspace. I see you're building a solid foundation with those targeted searches and notes on the remaining games. The Goff vs Dobbs angle and the Packers-Broncos extra drive situation are key variables that could shift things, especially with the low totals from last week and the slight over lean on Thursday's 42-point game.

Let me help you lock in some predictions based on what you've gathered so far. For the scoring strategy, sticking with those common lines like 17-20, 24-17, and 13-20 makes sense to cluster around the modal numbers.

GB @ DEN With Love's limited extra drive and Nix's 1H debut, DEN's deeper roster should hold up at home. I'll go with DEN 24 GB 17 to match the -7 spread and common 24-17 scoreline.

WAS @ DET The Campbell/Goff vs Dobbs conflict is tricky, but DET's home advantage and more starters should prevail. If Goff plays, DET 24 WAS 17; if Dobbs starts, DET 20 WAS 17. I'll lean DET 24 WAS 17.

BUF @ CLE With Allen out and Sanders starting vs Bills backups, CLE's slight favorite edge holds. CLE 20 BUF 17 20-17 is classic.

Good - Goff confirmed sitting. Dobbs starts, splits with Altmyer. Campbell still playing some starters (non-QB). I think the key here is locking in those game predictions before the deadline while the data is still fresh. With Goff confirmed sitting and Dobbs starting for Washington, plus the Lions having some starters on the field, Detroit should pull through at home even without the full roster. For the Broncos game, Denver's depth and the 24-17 score feel like the cleanest fit for the -7 spread.

The Bills-Cleveland matchup looks tight with Allen out and both teams relying on backups, so a 17-20 home win for Cleveland makes sense. Atlanta struggling offensively against Indy, and the Vikings' low-scoring week one, point 20-17 for Minnesota.
