Fantasy Dog Pound said Tucker Kraft is "pretty comfy at that ADP" and could be paired as one of only two tight ends if a drafter believes he has top-five upside. However, he flagged Kraft’s current hamstring issue and advised managers to keep tabs on the injury before pushing exposures higher.

Fantasy Dog Pound suggested that drafters who believe David Njoku is "mispriced" should be willing to build a two-tight-end roster around him. Because Njoku is going right next to Tucker Kraft in Underdog drafts, Dog Pound implied that the market may be too low on Njoku relative to his upside and volume profile, making him a viable value pick for managers seeking a cheaper TE2 option behind a stud.

Fantasy Dog Pound called Hunter Henry "a great three-tight-end type build player" and said he is also comfortable running only a two-TE roster built around Mark Andrews plus Henry. At Henry’s low ADP the drafter can “go as light as Andrews, Henry” and still free up roster spots for additional upside elsewhere. The takeaway: Henry’s current cost makes him a preferred late-round complement to an early-round anchor tight end in Best Ball Mania roster construction.

Fantasy Dog Pound said he is not backing off George Pickens even though the wideout’s Underdog ADP has jumped almost a full round. He noted that his personal exposure is already 17 %, with an average selection point of pick 56, yet Pickens now regularly goes at pick 47 and he is "still taking him in this range." That willingness to pay a rising price signals conviction that Pickens will return value in Best Ball Mania 6 despite the market getting more expensive.

Fantasy Dog Pound said Mark Andrews has quickly become one of his most-rostered players because the veteran tight end now falls to around pick 94 in BBM6 drafts. That eighth-/ninth-round price lets drafters lock in a proven ceiling option while the popular "three late tight ends" strategy is deteriorating—late darts such as Noah Fant and Jonnu Smith have had their projections crater after recent signings. Securing Andrews at his new discount, according to Dog Pound, removes the need to hit multiple long-shot tight ends and immediately differentiates teams from the field that is still chasing fragile late-round combinations.

Fantasy Dog Pound advised passing on Tank Bigsby after noticing his ADP has climbed 12 spots over the last month. He expects Jacksonville to deploy a true three-headed backfield featuring Travis Etienne, Bigsby and the rest of the depth chart, meaning Bigsby would need an injury or a trade before seeing fantasy-relevant volume. With drafters still chasing the steam, Dog Pound believes the new price bakes in too much optimism for a role that will likely be inconsistent and touchdown-dependent, preferring instead to target backs in cleaner situations at similar draft costs.

Fantasy Dog Pound recommended scooping Keaton Mitchell in the final rounds, noting "a ton of positive coach speak" from Baltimore about the running back’s explosiveness. Mitchell is still going undrafted in many BBM6 rooms, so spending an 18th-round pick on him provides cheap access to a back who could jump the depth chart and deliver spike weeks if the Ravens decide to lighten Derrick Henry’s workload or if injury strikes. The tout framed Mitchell as a classic low-cost, high-ceiling dice roll that fits perfectly with tournament-winning portfolio construction.

Fantasy Dog Pound grabbed Najee Harris at pick 156 in Best Ball Mania and called the price ‘crazy’ value. He pointed out that Harris had been going around 121 earlier in the offseason but has slipped after the team added Marin Hampton. The tout predicted Harris’ ADP will climb back toward 130–140 and argued that even if Harris misses a couple of games he can still smash at this tag, so he is actively boosting his exposure while the discount lasts.

Fantasy Dog Pound said he pushed Cedric Tillman up by roughly a full round—about 12 picks—after the report that Keenan Allen could be signing with the Chargers. He expects Allen’s arrival to drag Quentin Johnston’s ADP down into the 150 range and compress target competition in Los Angeles, while Tillman’s role in Cleveland stays untouched. With both wideouts now projected to cost similar draft capital, the tout advised swapping exposure from Johnston to Tillman and updated his personal ranks to reflect the change.

Pushing back on talk that Stefon Diggs is "ancient," Fantasy Dog Pound argued that moving to the Patriots actually raises his ceiling because the depth chart is paper-thin. He projected Diggs to command a "mid-25 % target share at worst" and called pick 18 "still not enough" for that level of volume. Age-based concerns are overblown, according to the host, given that Diggs’ underlying metrics—1.97 yards per route run and a 27 % target share last season—remain elite. With New England expected to trail frequently and deploy a pass-heavy script under new OC Alex Van Pelt, Dog Pound sees Diggs as a potential league-winner whose ADP should be closer to the early first round.

Fantasy Dog Pound highlighted Patrick Mahomes falling to pick 87 as one of the biggest edges in Best Ball Mania. He expects a "good advance-rate year" because Andy Reid has openly talked about restoring explosive plays and first-round burner Xavier Worthy has already been deployed as a deep-threat in camp. While Rashee Rice is likely to miss a few early games, Dog Pound called that absence "not a big deal," arguing that it will only consolidate targets for Mahomes until Rice returns. With Mahomes still supplying league-leading efficiency (7.6 YPA last season despite a down year) and the Chiefs projecting as top-five in implied points most weeks, the host believes drafters are over-penalizing the quarterback position and suggests stacking Mahomes whenever he drifts into the 80s.

Fantasy Dog Pound said Kyren Williams remains "pretty locked in" as the Rams’ lead runner, brushing off camp chatter that Blake Corum ("Quorum") is surging. He noted that Sean McVay’s public comments have been far less enthusiastic about Corum, while Williams continues to get first-team work. Dog Pound projected newcomer Jericho Hunter to siphon at most 20 % of the backfield touches, leaving Williams with true bell-cow volume. Given that Williams now slips into the late-third/early-fourth round of Best Ball Mania drafts, the host called him an “easy player to catch up on” because the price already bakes in downside but not the very real path to 70-plus % of Rams RB touches and weekly receiving work.

Fantasy Dog Pound became more bullish on Josh Jacobs after Marshawn Lloyd suffered a groin injury in Packers camp, removing the most credible early-season challenger for touches. He believes the injury cements Jacobs as the clear lead back and revives the bell-cow workload he enjoyed in 2022. With Jacobs’ ADP having drifted into the early third round, Dog Pound called the current price a buying window and said he has started clicking Jacobs more aggressively in recent drafts.

Fantasy Dog Pound expressed confidence that Kyren Williams will keep a feature-back workload for the Rams. He pointed out that Sean McVay has offered no glowing coach-speak on Blake Corum and that Jericho Hunter is likely to see only about 20 % of the touches. With Williams already anchoring passing-down work and goal-line snaps last season, the uncertainty being floated in draft rooms feels overblown. He therefore views Williams at his late-third/early-fourth-round price as a solid, low-risk pick and said he is "not too worried" about clicking him.

Fantasy Dog Pound advised fading J.J. McCarthy at his Underdog ADP in the low-120s, calling it "ridiculous" that the Vikings passer is going ahead of Trevor Lawrence and even Justin Herbert. He feels McCarthy belongs in the mid-130s alongside Michael Penix Jr., noting the uncertainty surrounding an unproven quarterback in a new system and the risk that poor performance or injury could force Sam Howell onto the field. Given those downside paths, he labeled McCarthy one of the worst QB values on the board at present cost.

Fantasy Dog Pound said drafting Jared Goff unstacked at pick 124 in the small-field Husky best-ball contest is perfectly acceptable. He emphasized that the Husky’s 3-of-12 opening advance rate and 117-team final dramatically lower the correlation tax you pay compared to Best Ball Mania’s 1-of-14 gauntlet. Because Goff evenly distributes targets across Detroit’s deep receiver room, the build does not rely on an Amon-Ra St. Brown 40-pointer to work. With a Joe Burrow stack already in place, Goff offered a safer advance-rate profile than reaching 15-plus spots for J.J. McCarthy, making him the better percentage play every time.
