I think Meyers is gonna be playing a lot in two TE sets. He's a fine last round option.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Bowers moves up to between Engram and Ferguson in the late 7th/early 8th.
I was referring to mostly being out on Jakobi Meyers.
People like to compare Bowers to Pitts, since they were both considered generational. But Bowers's skill set is much better for fantasy since he will be schemed a lot of touches and he's great on YAC. We also know the age cliff hits fast. Davante looked good last year, but he could decline quickly at any point given his age. I also wouldn't be surprised if Davante either forces a trade by the deadline or he quiet quits on a team out of the playoff race. He hasn't really been happy with the Raiders since they forced Carr out.
For Mayer, he will probably be one of the few 18 round selections I'm close to 8% on. I think he's a way better selection than most of the other TEs going in the 17th/18th. People are treating him like he's never going to see the field, since he goes undrafted a lot of times. And if Bowers gets hurt, Mayer will be a full-time TE who is third in the target order. I think the Raiders are going to do their best to put both guys on the field as much as possible.

I think overall volume across all available contests is what matters most, but my goal when I draft a contest is to at least put in somewhat decent volume. I don't want 2 teams in a contest that is 20 team max, 50 team max, etc. But with something like The Chihuahua 2 being fast draft only, you can only do so much in the period the contest is open. I don't draft more than 2 fast drafts at a time.
I think 75 BBMs is more than sufficient. I haven't decided if I'll do any BBMs at all. The structure is better this year, but there are just so many other contests where you don't have to run quite as good to make significant money at much lower price points. I'd do as many BBMs as possible in late August/beg of September. However, this thing could possibly fill before then. Already at 25.7%.
