this is the perfect example of why i love subscribing to your content because it just opened up my mind to one of my weak spots i was not really aware of.
i think i am pretty good at identifying those high upside late round guys but balancing that with good roster churn is where i fail. i’ll use a recent draft bench of olave/skyy/nyheim/m.carter as an example - i am a huge believer in the talent of olave and skyy but i should be more mindful that they may take a while to hit so balance those picks out with more immediate week 1 signals. i know i am going to be stubborn with skyy because any investment in the KC offense can yield high rewards but if nyheim doesn’t show increased usage like his HC has been saying or if carter doesn’t dominate pass game snaps, i’ll probably look to drop one of those two for a lower perceived talent but an immediate signal.
in the past, i would just stick with my guns and not churn these guys because of them being high median starter and avoid those recent spike week guys because i wanted my bench to be “balanced” and that probably hurt my team even more. i don’t know if i explained that well so this is more of me just spewing my thoughts but best ball has especially opened my eyes to how much better i can be at roster construction and balancing certain archetypes.

Def was following you and an important lesson to learn for anyone!
Looking at some of your bench spots as upside incubators, which you just churn, is a great strategy!
