What Should We Do With JK Dobbins? | The Biggest Fantasy Football Questions for Week 17 (Ep. 1505)

We entered Underdog Fantasy's Best Ball Mania II tournament and analyzed our draft. Throughout the show, we discuss best-ball strategy and our expectations for the players we selected. Why is an RB-heavy strategy preferred when building a best-ball roster (6:45), who has the most immediate and long-term upside between DeVonta Smith (13:13) and Jaylen Waddle (13:54), and what kind of impact should Mac Jones (26:37) have for the Patriots this year?

We take a long look at this year's top draft prospects and compare them to the pros to start gauging their fantasy potential. Who is Kenneth Gainwell's (16:11) closest comparison and why is his landing spot so important to his value, which Hall of Famer does Devonta Smith's (39:10) game resemble, and what type of signal-caller do we think an NFL team gets with Zach Wilson (1:05:28)?

We are joined by Mike Florio of NFL Network to give you an early look at our WR and TE rankings. Is Julio Jones (7:00) safer than Michael Thomas (12:42) despite his age and should we still believe in Odell Beckham (30:43) as a WR2? Does Tyler Lockett (43:59) carry enough upside to be an appealing WR3 and is Kyle Pitts (57:56) already a top-10 TE or could he struggle to get enough volume to be relevant?

We discuss the dynasty assets you should be acquiring or sending away this offseason. What would it take to trade away Christian McCaffrey (3:42), are we buying or selling Kenny Golladay (35:28) now that he's in New York, and is it wise to buy low on sophomore WRs Henry Ruggs and Jalen Reagor (43:08)?
