The 5 Craziest Upside Values in FFPC $350 Redraft Contests: No. 3 – A Better Vertical Option Than George Pickens at a Fraction of the Cost?

Shawn Siegele brings you his five favorite upside values in the FFPC FantasyPros contest. No. 3 is a vertical threat about to go supernova.

Right now there’s no question about your best chance to win $1 million in fantasy football this season. It’s the FFPC $350 FantasyPros contest.

Blair Andrews has been getting you ready for the contest with his 10 Best Value Picks in FantasyPros Contests and a look at the 6 Elite WRs and 6 Lottery Tickets to Help You Build a Juggernaut.

I’m profiling my five favorite FantasyPros selections as I get ready for Friday’s draft marathon with Ben Gretch — a special episode of Stealing Bananas on the Stealing Signals YouTube channel.

I tweaked the title of the series today to better reflect my goal. These five players are high-volatility options with some meaningful red flags but immense upside that’s not fully baked into price . . . especially within the context of how we would use them in our preferred redraft constructions. The options in this series are not for the faint of heart, but they’re disproportionately likely to turn up on the eventual $1 million roster.

No. 5 – We Love Jalen Tolbert, But This Late-Round WR Has Even More Upside
No. 4 – This Unfashionable, Young TE Star Is Headed for a Secondary Breakout

Spectacular Vindication of Principle: The Week They All Hit

Shawn Siegele November 18, 2024

GUIL: It must be indicative of something, besides the redistribution of wealth. List of possible explanations. One: I’m willing it. Inside where nothing shows, I am the essence of a man spinning double-headed coins, and betting against himself in private atonement for an unremembered past … Two: time has stopped dead, and the single experience of one coin being spun once has been repeated ninety…...

Zero RB Universe, Week 11: The Young Stars Rise As the Reinforcements Arrive

Shawn Siegele November 13, 2024

The RotoViz-approved Zero RB options had a big week with Chase Brown, Bucky Irving, and Tyrone Tracy. Each member of the trio scored 17-plus points and all rank among the top-15 RBs across the last five contests. Last week I noted that a lot of the top RBs were relying on efficiency in a way that was certainly reflective of their fantastic performances but was…...
