Welcome to the QB Rankings show. It's pretty straightforward and mostly review, if you've been listening all summer.

Cuts, PUPs and Assorted News, Plus Some RB Rankings

Lots of stuff to catch up on today plus we'll dive into the RB ranks to reassess a few players.

Back early tomorrow!

PUPs, Cuts and News—Contextualized + Other Stuff

Today we walk through all of the cuts releases, plus the folks who landed on the PUP or season-ending IR. After all that fun stuff we get back into the auction draft we've been riffing about plus some WR rankings/targeting updates.

Here's a look at Jay's team.

I sorted by nomination order. As you can see, Jay did ok—maybe better than ok, but he could have crushed the room. He was in that money position where you can dominate— if you have all of your targeting information at your fingertips.

Narrator: "Jay did not have his key targeting information at his fingertips."

Preseason News Plus a Look at an Auction Team

Today we work through some news—actually some good news, which is always nice. I also dive back into the auction draft with a look at a team whose draft was emblematic of an approach we've been talking about, and how you want to avoid it. 

Here is the draft in question. I sorted by nomination order, because it paints  clearer picture. 

Here is the completed roster.

 

 

Anatomy of an Auction Draft

Pete takes a look at a relatively high stakes auction draft from Saturday the 24th.

Deep league.

• 12-team
• Single QB
• QB-RB-RB-WR-WR-WR-TE-DEF-FLEX-FLEX
• 12 Bench spots
• .5 PPR scoring
• $200 auction budget
• $100 FAAB for in-season (no carryover)

Here's a look at what I left the auction with.

And here is what the roster looks like now—after my first (hopefully of many) deals. 

 

The 2024 Rotobahn Draft Plan

This is a long 90 minute pod, so as I said on Twitter, bring a sandwich. Below is a screenshot of the "heat map" I build alongside my board, to emphasize how scarcity is laid out. Just in case I was being unclear—this is what it looks like.

WR = green

RB = grayscale

QB = red

TE -= purple

32 Backfields
