Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score.

Great to have you tuning in today.

I appreciate everyone who's subscribed to the show, who's downloading every episode, who's listening to us on the score app, or even inside the draft get, which you can do. There's links to all the episodes. I even have the players set up for the most recent show. So it's all in there, as are the first two parts of my annual draft strategy series, going

over how you should be approaching your draft, depending where you're picking in the round.

I have the last edition ready to go up on Thursday, just in time for a big draft weekend.

The next three weekends are when the majority of fantasy drafts will go down.

So we're doing our best to get you ready for that.

We'll keep everything up to date

over the next few weeks as well for whenever your draft happens now speaking of draft

strategy on today's show I want to talk with the players that I'm targeting in each

round and I did this episode last year and in that show I explained the Genesis for

this it stems from what I used to do back in my early fantasy days, before I did my own rankings, before I did projections, all that sort of stuff. When draft season came around, I would go at look at ADP, I'd make a list of players that I liked in each round. And I wouldn't draft purely off that list. I just thought it was a good exercise to help me narrow down the players that I liked the most with the goal being to get as many of those guys on my teams as possible. So today I'm going to go round by round. I'm going to talk about my favorite players. If I feel the need to mention a ton of guys in a round, I will and there probably are a couple rounds are going to have to do that. But it can be tricky here. ADPs can really vary from site to site. And it's also tough because it can depend where you're picking in the round. For example, if you have the 12 pick overall, you're not going to have a shot at a Christian McCaffrey. You're not going to have a shot at a Jonathan Taylor. But that's what my draft strategy articles are for. They go more in depth. They talk about players you can pick in certain areas. They talk about roster construction, why you should make specific decisions on your build along the way. This is more of an overview to talk about the players that I'm targeting in each round when I get the chance at them. And I'm going to use underdog ADP. I know that that's best ball, but I looked at the Fantasy Pro ADP recently. They aggregate from multiple sites and it's just way off.

It is really difficult to go off that.

Some sites have players 40, 50 places different in ADP.

So I think over the next week or two when there's a bunch of drafts taking place,

we'll probably see those ADPs improve on some of those sites.

But for now, in my experience, some of these bestball sites, they just have a much more accurate ADP because people have been drafting with money on the line all off season long, right? So it's a little closer to reality than what you're seeing on some of the mainstream sites with ADP right now. So let's start with round one. Like I said, round one is the most

pick dependent. If you're picking at the top of the round, good for you. You get Christian McCaffrey,

you get Jonathan Taylor. Obviously, I like both those guys. Outside of them, I'd say my favorite

options are also probably near the top. And specifically, Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase,

we're talking about young superstars who
