- How High Are You Willing To Go?
I’m old enough to remember when Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was a “sleeper.”
Hell, I’m old enough to remember when he was still going in the sixth and seventh round of drafts because a guy named “Rhamondre Stevenson” was going to keep him off the field.
But life comes at ya fast and nothing is happening faster right now than Henderson’s rise up draft boards after an electric start to the preseason.
Here’s the TLDR on how it happened:
On the very first touch of his pro career during the Patriots’ first preseason game, he took a kick return 100 yards to the house (you can find his full Utilization for Week 1 here).
He then followed that up with another impressive rushing touchdown on Saturday night (full Utilization from Week 2 here).
Here’s a visual of his meteoric ADP rise over the past two weeks, compliments of our slick, new Best Ball Hub:
Henderson’s ADP on Underdog
If I wanted to be a wet blanket, I could say everyone is getting over their skis with a rookie on a team only expected to win seven or eight games, and is also going to lose a lot of base work to Stevenson.
And while that might be true, I honestly don’t think it matters.
Henderson is so obviously electric that the Patriots will not be able to keep him off the field. Even in a part-time capacity—similar to what we saw from Alvin Kamara in his rookie year—Hendo is so special that he could deliver a league-winning season on limited rush attempts.
He’s currently our consensus RB20, although Dwain is leading the charge at RB14. I side with Dwain here. I can’t come up with 15 other RBs I’d rather have then Hendo right now.
He’s a priority target in every format, just be conscious of the ADPs on the specific sites you are playing so you can get the best possible price.

The Four Keys To Win Your Sleeper League
Ian Hartitz introduced us to BADFISH when jumping into our Yahoo draft rooms recently. Well, he’s back at it again, only this time he’s attacking his Sleeper drafts with the same BADFISH system to help you win your Sleeper leagues.

That led to him recommending strategies at each of the position groups. And that’s just one of the letters in the BADFISH system to help you out in those Sleeper streets. ⬇️

10-Team PPR Yahoo Mock Draft: WR Early
Ah, the quandary when picking at the half of the first round. Kendall Valenzuela faced that, slotted in at the 1.08 in this 10-team PPR mock draft on Yahoo. Of course, with practice using the Draft Champion Mock Draft Simulator, presented by Gopuff, she knew just what to do.
See what her strategy of waiting at RB early, and later on the QB, made her final roster look like. This could help you in your league.👇🏼

My Guys: Three Players Chris Allen Can’t Stop Drafting
It’s that time of year. Time to plant flags. Time to declare favorites. Time to sync your leagues—trust us, it’s really convenient. Time to shout into the ether the sacred names of “My Guys!” Chris Allen did not disappoint, especially when it came to naming one of the players from his beloved Bengals. But when you hear his reasoning, it’s far from a homer pick.
Chris breaks down two more players, a young wideout looking to bounce back and a QB entering his second year and just might be the last hope for a dual threat at the position. Big ups for the Star Wars reference tied to the QB, and the sudsy hobby Chris compares to building a fantasy football team. ⬇️
