| 0:00.0 | Player targets in a zero R.B auction. That's what we're going to talk about today. |
| 0:14.9 | I'm Ben Gretchen. I'm Ben Gresh.com.com with me as always is Sean Siegel. I know |
| 0:20.3 | of his great work at ROTiviz. And for anyone who didn't catch the last episode, we spent a ton of time digging into the intricacies of an auction, thanks to a great question. We got on Twitter to sort of talk through the zero RB structure in an auction. We talked about all of our sort of just auction philosophies, how to approach a ton of great stuff in that first episode this |
| 0:38.1 | week. We're kind of doing that theme thing again that we did from last summer and that you guys |
| 0:42.3 | heard last week where we're now going to have a little bit more of a discussion on player |
| 0:45.8 | specific targets. The interesting thing is in our first episode this week, we told you that you |
| 0:51.8 | shouldn't have any player targets. We did go into an auction or that you should sort of let the room dictate? And yet we talked about a lot of strategies, including this idea of thinking through tiers. Sean, you talked about how in your rankings, you sometimes have players that are ranked multiple rounds above and above where they're going in drafts. We referenced T. Higgins last year, the infamous one who you had, I think, in the late |
| 1:12.1 | second round, and he was going in the fourth. And people sometimes ask, hey, you know, where am I |
| 1:16.9 | supposed to draft this guy? Do I just take him in the third round every single time? Or like, |
| 1:20.0 | what, do I have them on every roster? What happens? It's those types of players that make the most |
| 1:24.7 | sense in an auction because it's the types of players that we're saying actually their redraft 80Ps may be wrong and they belong in a tier above where they |
| 1:33.1 | are going. I don't have my full tiers done yet. I think you've probably looked more at rankings |
| 1:40.0 | and those types of things than I have. But what we're going to attempt to talk through today is players, essentially, |
| 1:46.7 | whose redraft ADPs put them in a pocket of players that they might have more upside then, |
| 1:51.6 | and they might belong in the pocket around or two above, which is to say, |
| 1:55.5 | because those are the types of players you should target in an auction, |
| 1:58.3 | but that is also to say these are more or less the biggest |
| 2:02.1 | targets that we have in all drafts formats, because they're also clear redraft targets as |
| 2:09.5 | well. Yeah. And so there are definitely some guys that I'm going to have as clear targets. |
| 2:18.0 | Maybe the patient were aware of player targets early. |
| 2:22.1 | We don't want you to overpay for some of the stars before the draft is started. |
| 2:29.4 | We want you to come up with your valuations and be aware of whether or not those guys are actually |
