- Trey McBride (TE, Cardinals)
- James Cook (RB, Bills)
- Jalen Hurts (QB, Eagles)
- Devonta Smith (WR, Eagles)
- Calvin Ridley (WR, Titans)
- Tony Pollard (RB, Titans)
- Brandon Aiyuk (WR, 49ers)

In a Full-PPR format, securing Justin Jefferson at pick six is promising. Aiming for wide receivers typically takes precedence when weighing options. My focus was influenced by historical performance trends and overall player consistency, particularly with Jefferson amid team changes.
Favorite pick: Calvin Ridley
Ridley is set for a significant quarterback upgrade, enhancing his target potential.
Pick I might regret: Trey McBride
Given the volatility at the TE position, investing heavily in McBride raises caution if his target share declines.
Key player: James Cook
Cook’s performance hangs on his touchdown production, with the potential to become a top RB or impact the roster depth dramatically.
