Colm Kelly argued that fantasy managers are unfairly fading Xavier Worthy because past combine-speed duds cloud perception. Kelly emphasized Worthy’s 9-touchdown, 748-yard rookie season and the fact he is only three weeks older than incoming rookie Ted McMullen despite already producing at the NFL level. With Rashee Rice suspended and other receivers injured, Kelly believes Worthy has a clear runway to become the focal point of a Patrick Mahomes offense, making the downside overstated and the upside enormous at current ADP.

Colm Kelly acknowledged the sticker shock on Emeka Egbuka’s surge from the 9th round into the high 5th/6th but still views him as worth the tag. The jump followed Jalen McMillan’s neck injury that thinned the depth chart and solidified Egbuka as an immediate top-two receiver through at least the first six weeks (expecting Godwin to start on PUP). On Underdog he now goes around WR30-35 alongside Chris Olave and Jerry Jeudy, a range Kelly considers appropriate given his early-season target projection and all-around prospect profile. Kelly does not expect Egbuka to climb much higher but remains willing to draft him at current cost.

Colm Kelly liked scooping Jordan Love 15 picks past ADP, calling that pocket of the draft a completely flat quarterback tier. Even unstacked, Kelly prefers Love’s dual-threat profile and weekly spike-week upside to the statuesque passers that usually inhabit that range. Taking the discount locks in a two-QB build with Kyler Murray, saves a roster spot, and frees capital for late-round wide-receiver swings.

Colm Kelly admitted he is “not a big fan” of Kyler Murray as a real-life passer but still views Murray as a smash at current ADP. The dual-threat’s rushing production combined with a cheap stack partner in Trey McBride provides a weekly ceiling few late-round quarterbacks can touch. Kelly believes that even if Arizona’s passing efficiency remains middling, the ground work plus red-zone chemistry with McBride will produce enough spike weeks to pay off handsomely in best ball tournaments.

Colm Kelly countered that the true ceiling play in Seattle is Kenneth Walker. Kelly believes Kubiak’s outside-zone run game finally lets Walker hit the line vertically instead of bouncing laterally, unlocking his breakaway speed. He called Walker “an absolute superstar” when fully fit and said highlight-reel runs were left on the field last season only because of backfield congestion. Kelly’s plan is to scoop Walker whenever durability concerns push him past ADP, betting the scheme overhaul turns those near-misses into box-score breakers.

Colm Kelly said he continues to target Kenneth Walker even after a foot issue pushed his ADP down, because Walker’s home-run ability (8 runs of 20+ yards last season, fifth in the league) outweighs the injury risk. To guard against those concerns, Colm pairs Walker with Zach Charbonnet whenever possible, locking up a Seattle backfield that ranked third in neutral-situation rush rate inside the 10-yard line. He sees the combo as a cheap path to multiple spike weeks in an offense that feeds its backs near the goal line.

Colm Kelly called Ladd McConkey a smash when he slid to pick 3.03. He acknowledged worries about the Chargers adding Keenan Allen and reducing the overall passing pie, but argued that uncertainty is already baked into the discounted ADP. McConkey has been running with the starters all offseason and his route-winning skill set promises spike-week upside that is tailor-made for Best Ball Mania structures. Colm had been willing to select him in the late-second earlier in the summer, so scooping him a round later is a discount he’s eager to exploit.

Colm Kelly explained that grabbing Trey McBride at the 2/3 turn is critical when drafting from the early slots. With George Kittle sniped one pick earlier, McBride represented the final piece of the elite-usage tight-end tier. Colm stressed that if you miss here the position "gets stretched" and you’re forced to chase later at a steep talent drop. McBride averaged a 24% target share after Week 8 last season and logged every money-down snap for Arizona, giving drafters a weekly advantage they can’t replicate in later rounds.

Colm Kelly said Tua Tagovailoa is a ‘must-click’ because a healthy season almost guarantees a top-15 finish even though his current ADP is QB25. Miami’s offensive line ranked top-10 in pass-block win rate last year, helped by Tagovailoa’s league-best 2.36-second time-to-throw. Although Terron Armstead has retired, Kelly projects the unit to remain league-average and noted Tagovailoa is working to speed up his release even further. With Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane leading a YAC-driven attack, Kelly likened the setup to a warmer-weather version of Brock Purdy’s 49ers and sees no realistic path for a healthy Tua to finish as low as QB25.

Colm Kelly called Geno Smith a glaring value at QB24 ADP in superflex best-ball drafts. Smith still averaged 0.46 fantasy points per drop-back last season—12th-best in the league—yet drafters price him as a low-end starter. Kelly likes stacking him with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp to capture every Seattle passing touchdown. He expects new OC Ben Grubb to remain among the top-five in neutral-situation pass rate and pointed to an indoor Week 16-17 slate (Detroit, Minnesota) that can deliver tournament-winning spike weeks. The recommendation: take Smith as a discounted QB2 whenever the board lets him slide past ADP.

Colm Kelly clicked Omarion Hampton over Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tee Higgins because he believes wide receiver depth is easier to find later and Hampton’s path to a three-down role could open if, as Kevin’s article hinted, Najee Harris is not on the field in 2025. Hampton also avoids the Week-8 bye pile-up the roster was creating and gives their Superflex build a second high-ceiling back.

Colm Kelly admitted he rarely clicks Breece Hall because he prefers Kenneth Walker or the last Tier-3 wideouts that share Hall’s third-round draft slot. Kelly worries New York’s three-headed committee—Braelon Allen handling early downs and Isaiah Davis earmarked for passing situations—will prevent Hall from consolidating touches. Even though Hall still averaged 15.3 PPR points during last year’s "disappointing" season, Kelly thinks the current workload uncertainty caps his ceiling and chooses to fade him at cost.

Colm Kelly projected Brian Robinson to remain Washington’s primary early-down runner for the entire year barring injury. Although SIS graded Robinson poorly on per-play value last season, Kelly emphasized that the veteran still generated multiple chunk gains and enjoys the coaching staff’s trust. With Austin Ekeler’s durability in question and rookie JCM’s workload likely ramping up slowly, Kelly expects Robinson to maintain 12–15 carries per week even after the backfield evolves, giving him a stable floor in season-long leagues whenever the Commanders lean on the run.

Colm Kelly said he expects Washington to open 2025 with a fairly rigid two-man rotation: Brian Robinson handling the first two downs while Austin Ekeler is used almost exclusively as the hurry-up / third-down option. Kelly worries the 29-year-old Ekeler could be "phased out" once rookie JCM proves he can protect and catch, highlighting Ekeler’s recent concussion history and a Packers game two seasons ago where the veteran "looked half-speed." Because Kelly believes Jaden Daniels will keep the offense productive, he views Ekeler’s early reception totals as a mirage that could disappear after Week 6, making the back a risky season-long investment at current ADP.

Colm Kelly explained why he burned the Mr. Irrelevant pick on Taysom Hill despite Hill tearing his ACL in December. Medical reports suggest Hill could be back by December, and Kelly pointed out that spike weeks — not season-long consistency — decide best-ball tournaments. Hill dropped a 43-point game last year and has a 34-pointer on his resume thanks to the Saints’ willingness to give him goal-line carries and gimmick passing snaps. If Hill returns for Weeks 16-17, he becomes a cheat-code tight end who can vulture multiple short rushing touchdowns when the prize money is on the line, tilting finals away from managers who ignored him. Kelly acknowledged safer late-round options such as Ollie Gordon or Isaiah Davis were available but argued that no other 20th-round player offers Hill’s proven nuclear ceiling.

Colm Kelly encouraged drafters to prioritize Ben Sinnott in the final five rounds, calling him the type of athletic upside play that can actually change tournament outcomes. Kelly argued that most 15th-to-20th-round selections end up giving you “very, very little” and that burning those picks on low-ceiling floor guys is a mistake. Sinnott, on the other hand, brings rare movement skills for a 250-pound tight end and a clear path to early snaps in Washington’s thin TE room. Even though Sinnott went undrafted in many early formats last season, Kelly prefers taking repeat swings because the payoff of landing a breakout tight end dwarfs the opportunity cost of a miss. In short, if you are going to gamble late, do it on a player with real difference-making athletic traits instead of a placeholder who will never crack your best-ball starting lineup.

Colm Kelly said he is willing to take Darren Waller in the late-rounds of tight-end-premium best-ball drafts because the price bakes in every bit of uncertainty. Waller now slides into Mike McDaniel’s hyper-efficient passing attack alongside Tyreek Hill, giving him far better TD equity than he ever had with the Giants. Kelly admitted Waller is a “complete black box” after flirting with retirement, but pointed out that this stack with Hill raises the ceiling of the entire roster. At a 17th-round ADP, even a modest 500-yard, seven-touchdown line would massively outperform cost and solve a fragile TE room that missed on the early studs. Kelly framed the bet as an upside swing that fits their four-tight-end build and relies on the Dolphins remaining one of the league’s most functional offenses.

Colm Kelly predicted that Jarquez Hunter will overtake Kyren Williams and seize the Los Angeles Rams starting job by mid-season. Kelly loves Hunter’s three-down profile, calling him the closest thing the Rams have had to a Todd Gurley-style home-run threat since Gurley’s peak. Shawn Siegele echoed the optimism, noting Hunter’s ability to break tackles, create explosive runs and contribute as a receiver. The duo argued that the Rams need more dynamism in the backfield if they’re serious about leapfrogging the 49ers and locking horns with the Eagles for NFC supremacy. Kelly also liked Hunter’s non-overlapping bye week with the rest of their running-back room, framing late-round Hunter shares as potential tournament winners in Best Ball formats.

Colm Kelly said Jayden Reed is a screaming value at the 8.12 turn in FFPC best-ball drafts because every perceived negative is already baked into the price. Green Bay’s 2024 offense should tilt back toward balance or even pass-heavy if Jordan Love stays healthy after last year’s "almost comical" run-rate. Kelly argued that even a simple repeat of Reed’s 2023 line would smash this ADP, and any bump that comes from moving out of two-WR sets or positive game scripts provides true post-hype breakout potential. The takeaway: Reed is an easy late-eighth-round click when you believe the Packers’ pass attempts are set to climb.

Colm Kelly said he is targeting Harold Fannin in the last rounds as a pivot off David Njoku, who is going much earlier. Kelly expects Cleveland to lean on more two-tight-end sets in 2025 as defenses dare them to run, creating additional routes for Fanning. He likes Fannin's college receiving résumé and believes that hidden usage upside, combined with a dirt-cheap ADP, makes him an easy stash who could pay off if the Browns pivot to heavier personnel.

Colm Kelly said he is "out on all the Colts" if Anthony Richardson wins and keeps the starting job. Richardson’s scramble tendency and designed runs would crater passing volume, and his 48 percent completion rate as a pro highlights accuracy issues on the underneath throws that feed fantasy points to wideouts and tight ends. Even camp reports of improvement to roughly 57 percent don’t move the needle for Kelly until Richardson shows he can consistently complete basic crossers and check-downs. Until that happens he recommends fading Indianapolis pass catchers in season-long and best-ball drafts.

Colm Kelly highlighted T.J. Hockenson as a sixth-round tight end who could smash ADP once healthy. He expects Hockenson to enter 2025 fully recovered and to open the season as Minnesota’s de-facto No. 2 receiver because Jordan Addison is likely to miss "multiple weeks." That temporary vacuum could push Hockenson into an 8-plus-target weekly range, giving him a path to 90 catches and double-digit touchdowns in tight-end-premium scoring.

Colm Kelly pushed back on the fade narrative, saying Sam LaPorta is actually slipping toward the mid-tier group rather than being overpriced. From Week 10 on last season LaPorta averaged 5.6 catches and 63 yards with a 22 percent target share. With Detroit’s new coordinator expected to keep volume high, Kelly believes LaPorta can realistically finish ahead of George Kittle in PPR formats and views him as one of the few tight ends with both 1,000-yard and double-digit-TD upside at a fourth-round cost.

Colm Kelly argued Jahmyr Gibbs is the most exciting first-round running back if fantasy managers ever get a full season of true workhorse usage out of him. Pointing to Gibbs’ explosive finish to 2024, Kelly said the sophomore’s ceiling in the Lions offense is "huge" and would make him the most electrifying RB prospect he’s backed in years. Although Kelly admitted he’s reluctant to spend a top-three overall pick on any running back, he’s willing to draft Gibbs at the back of Round 1 because the combination of elite pass-game ability and the possibility Detroit finally unleashes him could produce a season-defining edge.

Colm Kelly pushed back on worries about Kyler Murray’s size and argued the Cardinals quarterback owns legitimate 1,000-yard rushing upside in 2024. Kelly believes Arizona will lean even harder into designed QB runs and short-area scramble drills—concepts that already produced red-zone jump-pass looks to Trey McBride last year. Because his roster is light at quarterback, Kelly said Murray’s rushing eruption is the clearest path to turning a mid-round investment into overall tournament equity. If Murray hits that ground-heavy ceiling, the team’s late-round darts at other positions suddenly have a realistic shot at winning the whole contest.

Colm Kelly argued that Tyler Warren is the perfect Round-8 swing in TE-premium FFPC drafts when you open from the 1.01. Kelly pointed out that drafters on the ends of the board routinely miss the entire elite-tight-end window (Bowers through Evan Engram) because none of those names wheel back. Rather than reaching multiple rounds for a mediocre veteran, Kelly prefers securing Warren’s unknown ceiling. The Penn State product owns a 22 percent college target share, ran a sub-4.65 forty at 250 lbs during spring testing, and has flashed plus YAC skills that model well in FFPC’s 1.5-PPR scoring for TEs. With the draft board otherwise "flat" at WR/RB in that pocket, Kelly believes Warren offers a legitimate path to a tournament-winning positional advantage for teams that punted early tight end.

Colm Kelly explained why he is loading up on Tyjae Spears while fading Tony Pollard entirely. Pollard’s Round-7 sticker price forces drafters to bypass a juicy wide-receiver pocket and hinges on a "very narrow path" to league-winning upside—essentially that he holds early-down work, regains explosion and dodges goal-line vultures. Spears, meanwhile, slides into early Round 10, giving managers a three-round discount plus roster-flexibility to attack WR beforehand. Kelly likes the way Spears fits common build structures: in best ball he happily "auto-clicks" the second-year back for spike-week potential, and in redraft he will still reach when roster construction calls for a high-upside RB4. With Spears already showing superior elusiveness and pass-game chops last year, Kelly believes the talent gap is minimal, the price gap massive, and the probability Spears overtakes Pollard as the Titans’ fantasy back to own only grows as the season progresses.

Colm Kelly cautioned against chasing J.K. Dobbins at his new Round 9-10 ADP, calling the jump "astonishing." Dobbins’ history of multiple lower-body injuries and diminished explosiveness make him unlikely to reclaim the form that once made him a breakout darling. Kelly believes drafters are pricing in a best-case scenario while ignoring that rookie RJ Harvey is younger, healthier and already pencilled in for early-down and goal-line work. With a fragile workload ceiling and significant re-injury risk, Dobbins is a fade at cost.

Colm Kelly highlighted Jordan Mason as a value in Round 8 versus Aaron Jones in Round 6. Recent camp reports suggest Mason is pushing for significant early-down work, and Kelly expects the current two-round gap to narrow once drafters catch on. With Kevin O’Connell signalling a continued emphasis on the ground game and Jones entering his age-29 season after hamstring issues, Kelly views Mason as the cheaper path to the same (or higher) workload in Minnesota’s backfield.

Colm Kelly predicted that rookie RJ Harvey will ultimately seize control of Denver’s backfield despite JK Dobbins’ meteoric ADP rise into Round 9-10. Harvey brings youth, 3-down traits and downhill explosiveness that Sean Payton covets, while Dobbins carries a lengthy injury history and has not looked like his pre-injury self. Kelly expects Denver to be run-centric, creating enough touches for two backs but believes Harvey’s talent will make him the clear lead and a league-winner at his current Round 5 price.

Colm Kelly cautioned that Terry McLaurin’s 2023 touchdown reel is packed with one-off, non-repeatable plays—contested catches where defenders fell down or a busted coverage against Dallas that turned into a long score. McLaurin has never consistently commanded elite target share, so losing those low-probability TDs would leave drafters holding a shaky weekly floor on a third- or fourth-round pick. Kelly believes that makes McLaurin one of the scariest sink-hole selections in season-long leagues, preferring to chase younger receivers with ascending usage profiles instead.

Colm Kelly said MarShawn Lloyd is one of the few late-round rookie backs who does not need an injury to matter right away. Kelly reminded Kevin that Lloyd’s 2023 season disappeared for “a variety of reasons,” yet the coaching staff had been talking up a breakout before that setback and the entire offense projects to take a step forward this year. Because of those circumstances, Kelly expects Lloyd to claim standalone snaps immediately—something he is not projecting for fellow rookies Will Shipley or RJ Giddens. Grabbing Lloyd after that contingent-only tier, in Kelly’s view, gives the roster an extra source of usable RB points early in the Best Ball Mania V regular season while still preserving the normal rookie upside later in the year.

Colm Kelly justified spending a late pick on rookie Will Shipley even after loading up on other backs. Colm sees virtually zero stand-alone value while Saquon Barkley is healthy but emphasized that Shipley’s 4.39 speed and 76-catch college resume make him an instant three-down replacement if Barkley breaks down. The Eagles averaged 29.6 running-back PPR points per game last year and return the entire offensive line, so any multi-week Barkley absence would turn Shipley into a potential league-winner right when fantasy playoffs start. Colm admitted rookie-heavy backfields can leave early-season holes, yet he felt comfortable adding Shipley as RB6 because Jordan Mason and Chubba Hunter already provide short-term floor. The pick is a classic “nothing now, everything later” dice roll he loves in Best Ball Mania.

Colm Kelly targeted George Kittle if he slid to the middle of Round 4, calling it a perfect sweet spot in a non-TE-premium format. Kittle generally goes three picks later than their slot, so Colm framed him as a small ADP win that unlocks multiple construction paths: you secure elite tight-end production early enough to stop at two TEs, yet you avoided spending Rounds 2-3 capital that could have gone to wide receivers. Snagging him also opens a cheap San Francisco stack; Colm immediately queued Jauan Jennings and later-round 49ers options, noting that Week 17 correlation comes almost for free once Kittle is on the roster.

Colm Kelly endorsed Will Shipley as a final-round dart despite conceding the rookie offers little standalone value while Saquon Barkley is healthy. Barkley just helped the Eagles win a Super Bowl, so Colm expects the team to ride him early and often. Still, Shipley flashed enough in late-season mop-up duty to convince Colm the staff will trust him if Barkley misses time. On a roster that already invested heavily at wide receiver and secured early-season floor with veterans like Jordan Mason, Shipley’s contingent upside is exactly what Colm wants from his RB6.

Colm Kelly wanted to grab rookie WR Tett McMillan in Round 3 and circle back to George Kittle in early Round 4 because the pair gives you Week 17 49ers-Cardinals correlation without sacrificing ADP value. Kittle usually lasts three picks past their slot, making the double tap doable even on a 20-second clock. Kelly noted that because BBM is not TE premium, he prefers loading up on wideouts first, then adding an elite tight end once the WR pool flattens. Landing Kittle there unlocks multiple San Francisco bring-back options (e.g., Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall) and keeps roster construction flexible the rest of the way.

Colm Kelly urged listeners to tread carefully with Travis Etienne even when he falls to the ninth round. Kelly said Etienne’s production "has been on a slope the last couple of years" and argued that rookie back Tutton could start siphoning touches if Etienne’s early-season efficiency disappoints. Instead of paying Round-9 capital for a back who may end up in a committee, Kelly prefers grabbing higher-upside receivers or contingency backs available later. His takeaway: Etienne no longer provides the structural advantage drafters need at that price, making him a fade unless he slips well past current ADP.

Colm Kelly grabbed Troy Franklin in the 20th as a stack-correlated upside dart with earlier QB pick Bo Nix. Kelly said Franklin’s ADP has flat-lined because the market worries about Denver’s depth chart, but he believes camp news could rocket the rookie into the teens— especially if Joe Flacco earns early-season starts and pepper-throws the outside. Franklin’s 4.41 speed and 2.9 collegiate yards per route give him a unique ceiling that simply does not exist among the dusty veterans still on the board. The click also protects their Jerry Jeudy shares, letting any Broncos breakout funnel points into this roster no matter which receiver emerges.

Colm Kelly welcomed Cole Kmet’s 18-19th-round slide, saying the Bears tight end is the perfect TE4 in FFPC Best Ball. Because the format offers 1.5 PPR for tight ends and two flex spots, Kelly expects there will be weeks where managers start three or even four TEs. Grabbing Kmet after ADP gives his roster a reliable bye-week plug-in with real flex viability—Kmet finished 2023 with six double-digit fantasy weeks and has averaged 20.2% of Chicago’s targets since the middle of 2022. Colm added that taking Kmet now preserves structural freedom later; missing him would have forced them into desperation darts like Noah Fant. The falling ADP plus the FFPC scoring wrinkle makes Kmet “easy closing-line value” according to Kelly.

Colm Kelly called rookie Ray Davis a "priority target" after landing him in the mid-13th round, noting the 9-round gap between Davis and James Cook (4.02). Cook has not settled his contract situation, and Kelly believes any training-camp holdout would spike Davis’ price into the 5th round overnight. Even without a Cook absence, Davis’ pass-pro chops and downhill style fit Buffalo’s short-yardage needs, giving him immediate flex utility in a roster that already leans on rookie backs. Kelly framed the pick as classic zero-RB leverage: standalone touches now with league-winning upside if the depth chart tilts.

Colm Kelly said Rhamondre Stevenson works perfectly as a discounted "bridge" back while their rookie duo (RJ Harvey plus another first-year RB) ramps up. Stevenson is slipping a full round below spring ADP and, unlike most backs in this pocket, projects for locked-in Week-1 volume as the clear early-down option in a New England offense that averaged 26.9 RB touches per game last year. Kelly admitted he is "not overly optimistic" about Stevenson's year-long ceiling but stressed that securing 12–15 opening-week touches lets drafters chase pure upside later without risking early zeros in FFPC Best Ball playoff pods.

Colm Kelly labeled Jordan Mason an “interesting pivot point” in Minnesota’s backfield now that the Vikings have paired the veteran Aaron Jones with a younger, cheaper hammer. Sean Siegle’s rankings tag Mason as RB32 with an eighth-round grade, matching the exact slot where he was available. Kelly likes the asymmetric upside: if Jones shows his age or the offense shifts toward a committee, Mason could own early-down work in a Kevin O’Connell scheme that finished top-10 in red-zone plays last year. At that price you’re paying for a contingency profile but getting standalone flex equity if Mason grabs goal-line duties—a profile Kelly believes matters even more in FFPC’s playoff pods.

Colm Kelly called Jayden Reed a "transition receiver" who keeps you in the WR talent tier while others reach for quarterbacks. Reed is WR34 in their rankings (mid-6th) but still available at WR43 in the late-8th; Kelly happily paid two picks above market to avoid the post-Reed cliff that forces drafters into narrative-based dart throws like Jalen Hyatt. He expects Green Bay to lean pass-heavy after last year’s late-season breakout from Jordan Love and likes Reed’s slot-plus-debo role—45% of his rookie touches came on schemed motion or backfield snaps, hinting at manufactured volume. The pick also leaves the door open to stack Love at an 11th-round ADP or pivot to Bo Nix if the board breaks differently, maximizing roster flexibility while banking a player who averaged 2.05 yards per route in his final six games.

Colm Kelly argued that T.J. Hockenson is being drafted a full round too late relative to his projection in FFPC Best Ball. Kelly said he views Hockenson and George Kittle as virtual peers, noting that the gap between Travis Kelce (TE1 by ADP) and Hockenson (TE4/TE5) is larger than the gap between Hockenson and Kittle in actual weekly scoring. His case hinges on three points: 1) Hockenson averaged 8.6 targets per game with Minnesota before tearing his ACL and should again push 125-plus targets once cleared. 2) The Vikings project to be top-10 in pass rate over expectation after adding rookie QB J.J. McCarthy, further insulating that volume. 3) In FFPC’s 1.5 PPR for tight ends, every 80-catch season from a TE equates to WR1 production, yet Hockenson routinely slips to the early fourth while Kelce still costs a late-second pick. Kelly concluded that scooping Hockenson a round after LaPorta/Kittle is a simple way to gain closing-line value without sacrificing ceiling at a fragile position.

Colm Kelly pushed hard to grab Sam LaPorta at 4.04, saying he is still an "elite tight end" who comes at a discount relative to Travis Kelce and the Bowers/McBride tier. LaPorta is TE4 by both ADP and Sean Siegle’s rankings (3.10 in the ranks, 4.07 by ADP), but Colm is willing to reach six-to-eight picks because FFPC’s 1.5 PPR scoring makes him a weekly difference-maker. He reminded listeners that LaPorta’s target share spiked after he overcame his mid-season knee issue last year and that locking him up prevents the positional dead zone that often forces drafters into Evan Engram or worse. Given the opportunity cost—James Cook, Chuba Hubbard, and mid-tier QBs—Colm would rather secure LaPorta now and enjoy maximum roster flexibility later.
