Establish The Run Fantasy Football

Adam Levitan, Justin Herzig and Mike Leone present their findings from analyzing Best Ball drafts across the industry to see the biggest outliers between ETR’s rank and where their Average Draft Positions are.

In this episode, we discuss:
- Why does ETR disagree with the market on Ashton Jeanty?

- What makes Saints passcatchers still viable for ETR ranks?

- Why are pocket passers still being drafted so highly?

- Does ETR agree with RJ Harvey’s high ADP?

- What still makes DK Metcalf ranked ahead of his ADP?
