Another great post. Explaining the concept of fragility/anti-fragility was helpful even to me who was already implementing the concepts in my drafts

So have loved all the stuff and mainly this article before my draft yesterday.. did i take the zero rb/antifragile too far by going too upside heavy in Two QB half ppr draft? Have my other main league on Thursday so curious.

QB: Lamar, Hurts, Lawrence

RB: Swift, Javonte, Sermon, GusBus, Ty Johnson, Hines

WR: Jefferson, Lamb, Kupp, Jeudy, Elijah Moore, Meyers, Marshall, AJ Green

TE: Irv Smith

What about AJ Brown, you worried about him? Some news about his recovery from off season surgery does not sound great and with guys like Jefferson and Metcalf at the same range, is he too risky?

Great stuff Ben. I saw you bumped James Robinson up a tier. If it's worst-case scenario and Etienne is done for the season, how much higher does Robinson go? Is he in the Carson/Sanders/Montgomery range or does he get as high as Dobbins/Henderson tier?

Hey Gretchmeister - I heard your Drafting for Value podcast. Building on Shawn’s point about how important the TE position is, if I sit at the 12 spot in PPR would I be crazy if I drafted WR, Waller, WR, Hockensen/Pitts in the first four rounds to ensure I’m covered with an elite TE?

Love the way you're looking at this one - the logic does track. Annoying personal question for you.

Half PPR 2RB 2 WR 1TE 1 Flex league. Do I now keep Aiyuk in round 12 or James Robinson in round 8? If Etienne is announced out just a month I'm thinking AIyuk, and anything longer than 2 months, I go Robinson.
