Post "2024 PPR Fantasy Rankings V1.5 (FINALLY)" by "Brett Kollmann" from patreon

Chat should I try to trade Michael Pittman and Aaron Jones for Cooper Kupp? I’ve got 2 starters of Amon-Ra and Marvin Harrison Jr at WR, James Cook + Devon Achane at RB. Njoku at TE, Monty in flex, Kupp would be other flex. A Mitchell +Tyler Lockett for bench WR’s and Jaylen Warren, Javonte Williams, Ray Davis, Jaleel McLaughlin for RB bench. Rodgers+ Pittman on bench currently as well as Hockenson on IR. Chiefs defense and Fairbairn at kicker as well as Goff starting QB.

Darius Freeman

I remembered and figured it out

Darius Freeman

I had the same question last year.. how do y'all make it a readable file after downloading? (Foolish drafter who's draft starts in 29 minutes)

Brett Kollmann

They are basically identical to me in terms of talent, but I loooooove the Falcons offensive line when it comes to run blocking. That's a group that can really impose their will on people, and even though the Jets OL is much improved on paper this year I still favor Atlanta's when it comes to opening up seams for a running back.

Brett Kollmann

Not a slight on DK, personally, but I do have high expectations for JSN this year. Plus Lockett still exists. Honestly, your best bet for investing in the Seattle passing game is just drafting Geno because no matter what you are getting points with him. But this three headed monster of a receiving corps will all likely cannibalize each other this year and make it tough to zero in on just one of them.

Brett Kollmann

Just remember to keep Kimani Vidal in your back pocket in the last round and everything will be okay

Brett Kollmann

I don't think I'll have time for that one this year because of my move...at least on my channel. We will be able to do one on the Bootleg channel :)

Brett Kollmann

Unfortunately we didn't get my internet set up at my new place until yesterday, so I couldn't get them out until very late at night :(

Brett Kollmann

Out now!

Brett Kollmann

yeah I'm not even bothering

Brett Kollmann

He's definitely going to be their number one, but year it's hard to overlook just how bad Daniel Jones is. If he ended up in Chicago with Caleb just like Rome did, it would obviously be a very different conversation. I wish him best of luck lol

Brett Kollmann

I always draft in a free form kind of way. If I have an early first rounder I'll start with a RB, and if it's a late first rounder I start with a WR, and then I go round by round filling in the best player available at each round valuation. And I'll pivot mid draft to the position rankings at around the 5th round or so to keep my roster balanced. QB hits a shelf around 16-18 so I make sure to get one by the middle of the draft, and then I come back around late with a high upside play that I can use as a trade chip later (Bo Nix, etc)

Brett Kollmann

I never know when to play him and when to sit him so I just actively avoid that headache lol

Brett Kollmann

I think the Raiders are going to be sticking in 12p basically as much as humanly possible this year. I wouldn't be surprised if they led the league in it, which means both he AND Mayer will be on the field together. Mayer at the Y, and Brock as the H. I think they are going to spread targets around more than people think...at least among those two tight ends. Both will probably cannibalize each other a little bit, if I had to bet.

Brett Kollmann

Happy to help!

Brett Kollmann

Well at least you had more injury luck than me lol

Brett Kollmann

How did your draft go? I do have 2.0 out now, yep. So sorry that I couldn't get them out earlier. We didn't even have internet fully set up at my new place until yesterday :(

Christopher Donaire

I was in the same situation. I ended going for Bijan

Christopher Donaire

Just a curiosity to why you have Bijan Robinson over Breece Hall?

Brian Egan

I'd expect that it's because he's placed as the 21st and 16th scoring WR in PPR for the last two years and the year that he finished 16th he was outscored by his teammate, Lockett. Based on that and the possibility of JSN getting a sophomore bump, the 20th WR estimate for Metcalf seems reasonable

Warner

Why’re you so low on dk metcalf, he’s still wr 1 and they should be more pass heavy this year and im thinking ive got faith in him to be close to wr 1 production? Idk

Ryan Karsten

You are my Guru and the cost of losing my league is too great this year

Ryan Karsten

Brett I will work 10+ hours of unpaid labor to move you in if you just post .5 ppr rankings

Kyle Derrick

hey brett, are you going to upload a 'predict the entire season' video for 2024?

Alexander Jacob Neal

Hey Brett, hope the move went well. Any chance the .5 PPR rankings will be out in the next 5 hours in time for me to draft with them? If not I still love you.

Chris M

Just use the ppr ones a little common sense lol

William Bourgein

Brett said this week, so technically he has some hours left!

Alexandre Tagredj

Gonna be tight lol

Mark Schloesser

booo u lucky I going to mine now

Andrew Rogers

I really hope soon - have my draft in 7 hours!

Alexandre Tagredj

When are the 0.5 ppr rankings released? Thanks for the great work!

@Invincible34

Quentin Johnston leave him to the waivers?

Trey Mayfield

Got my draft tonight. Are the rest of the rankings going to be put out? It’s the only way I’m competitive.

Ryan

Took 1st in league last year thanks to Brett’s rankings. Going for repeat! Thanks Brett

Warner

Ohhh

Anthony Becerra

Sorry my comment was regarding a v 3.0 but now I don’t even see it posted any more…

Anthony Becerra

So am I reading this wrong or did you move Collins all the way back at round 10 for PPR? Maybe I’m just confused

Gabe Berkowitz

You came in clutch yet again, Brett. Thank you for these every year. You're my secret weapon.

Nicholas Brown

Hey Brett, any reason you’re so low on Bowers? Took him in my rookie draft, worrying I made the wrong choice haha. Thanks for the rankings as always!

Dak

Where’s Taysom

denis dominguez

I have my draft tonight. .5ppr. How would you use the rankings?

Trey Mayfield

What about by Saturday? :)

Brent Hospedales

Are there any concerns with nabers outside of qb play? He looks like he will be force fed the ball and looks to have a special rookie year

Warner

You’ve twisted my arm I’ll take my Fav wr from my fav team lmao

Warner

Also getting one of Kyler, Dak, or burrow (maybe love) after I take my rb 2

Warner

It’s definitely an odd pick adp wise, atleast on espn, I think I like waiting on qb just cause I feel the value is more there for wrs and RBs so I’ll probably go kupp or Moore after Collins and just see what’s there at the next turn for wrs or TEs. I’ve personally been going Rb (bijan mostly) into Wr wr te wr And looking for guys like Najee, j Williams, b rob jr cause I think any three of those I’m comfortable with as my rb 2

Braydon Bryan

I’ve been neglecting how strange of a spot the #2 pick is relative to consensus ADPs Theoretically speaking, the consensus calls for you to take Nico over those players - by a lot too (I don’t know if he’ll be there at 23) I’m really high on Kupp and Moore; but Collins would ‘math’ more with your second pick. I have a soft spot for London if he falls to you - if you were interested in stacking Atlanta weapons You’ll pick 2nd, 23rd, 26th, —- then wait to 47th and 50th You can hope someone drastically falls to you at 23 (which is possible) But just have a list of guys you like in that range. I have a feeling WR could be funky this year - maybe you’ll get lucky with Pacheco at 23 (Mahomes would be draft-able at 26 - I don’t know if I love taking the first QB off the board) You could take your chances on some rookie guys later on If David Montgomery falls to you at your 4th pick - what a team you’ll have I’m a Bears fan and I’ve definitely drank the Kool-Aid, I’m supremely confident in D.J. Moore - he was just a name I threw in there because I personally love him at that spot You’re a Texans fan - if you feel that way about Nico - go with Nico I don’t agree with Kupp going as late as the 26th - but he still absolutely will in most leagues You could have Collins and Kupp Collins&Mahomes, Collins&RandomRBwhofellforwhateverreason You get the point

Warner

All good life happens, Now my friends won’t know how I’m drafting!

Andrew Rogers

Thanks Brett!

Brett Kollmann

Yep!

Brett Kollmann

The good thing is that I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them. But personally I'm extremely high on Nico because he's their guy that does the dirty work over the middle on digs, slants, crosses, and glances. And Stroud LOVES working that area of the field because he's awesome at manipulating linebackers. It's more of a pick based on scheme than comparing his individual talent to DJ Moore or Cooper Kupp of all guys.

Brett Kollmann

Unfortunately no youtube videos on it this year. This move was very unfortunate timing for me lol

Brett Kollmann

I'll be honest, the ONLY real concern I have about Lamb is that sometimes when guys hold out and aren't at camp, and aren't doing any preseason work with the team at all, they are susceptible to soft tissue injuries if they report during the season and immediately try to play at full speed. I'm being cautious with him as a result. If given the option between him between Tyreek, JJ, or Chase, I would go with the other three.

Brett Kollmann

And thank you for your support!

Brett Kollmann

Good luck!

Brett Kollmann

I'll be honest, I think I made a copy/paste error and somehow left him off of this version lol

Brett Kollmann

I get the sense that the Chiefs are going to be transitioning away from the YAC based passing game of the past few years and trying to get more vertical overall, hence the Brown and Worthy additions. And Rice is absolutely not a vertical threat at all, so he could potentially be their fourth option at best by like midseason once Brown is healthy.

Justin Cieszykowski

Thank you for the advice !

Justin Cieszykowski

Thank you!

Brett Kollmann

Assuming he's healthy, I think Christian Kirk is being VERY overlooked this year. Everyone assumes that BTJ is going to be the new number one, but so far they have used him exactly like I thought they would - putting him outside and just telling him to run go routes all day. I think in Best Ball, BTJ is going to be awesome because he can have a huge day on like 4 catches, but for week in and week out stability, Kirk is still by FAR their most reliable receiver.

Brett Kollmann

Yeah it's more organized in a "this is the earliest I would take them" kind of a way, not a "you have to take them here" kind of way. I am a very flexible drafter so I use this document as my rough guide while I'm drafting, I grey out the names as they get taken, and I adapt myself to whatever is left on my board at the time.

Brett Kollmann

I think it's a combination of him potentially missing time, and then also taking even more time on top of that to get back to being himself. I would rather just play it safe at TE, unless he falls really far and is just a high upside TE2/Flex that I'm saving for a playoff run

Brett Kollmann

Absolutely move them up a round in super flex, but be prepared to adapt if they REALLY start flying off the board. You don't want to get left holding an empty grocery bag, so once about 16 QBs are off the board just bite the bullet and take the next one because that's about where the shelf hits.

Samuel McLellan

Brett ur just the best! I know you love food so next time ur in Seattle try Cosina Japonesa great sushi and drinks

Brett Kollmann

If you want to go receiver back to back early I would look at someone like James Cook to be your RB1a alongside Monty at 1b. If you want RB very early and just counting on Monty as your 2, see if you can snag Taylor at the 7th pick. Or if you want to go zero RB-ish strategy, Devin singletary and Rico Dowdle are probably who I would shoot for as your complements to Monty.

Brett Kollmann

I would do that Mahomes and Caleb bet in a heartbeat. I'm actually surprised it's still at +1000 tbh.

Brett Kollmann

Exactly. It starts to get really fluid after the first 5-6 rounds because by that point it's all about you filling out positions you need, more so than sticking to a rigid order.

Brett Kollmann

For dynasty, it's tough to say because Javonte is a free agent after this year and you never know what kind of situation he's going to land in. I would say Rhamondre is a much safer bet because he's going to be in New England for at least the next two years, and the Patriots O-Line (starters) isn't as bad as people think. They need depth for sure, but the starting five ain't that bad imo.

Andrew Rogers

.5 PPR going to be released by Sunday?

Warner

Honestly not sure how much I faith I can have in Nico collins cause the games where him and tank played last year he didn’t do nearly as good and I’m a Texans fan and he’s my fav of our wrs I just don’t know, if I should take Nico over Moore or kupp

Braydon Bryan

4D chess

Warner

Until they trade for aiyuk and deebo becomes the steal

Warner

Appreciate it, yeah it’s a home league with abunch of my buddies and at the 2/3 turn on espn kupp and Moore should be easy to getv

Braydon Bryan

Scary Terry looking really worth it after Dotson got dealt.

Braydon Bryan

I like Lamb in PPR - but it has to be Bijan. Bijan is essentially my #1 guy this upcoming season. It sounds weird, but in part, you have to rely on the health of Kirk Cousins. - for him to be optimized If all stays the same, he’s arguably the most talented player at his position, in the best position to succeed and at the hardest position to find an elite contributor at in fantasy. At pick #2 you won’t pick again for a long time - You’re monster hunting at the #2 spot. You could still catch Kupp and D.J. Moore with your 2nd and 3rd picks. - WR will have value that late. P.S. I would not consider Breece over Bijan. It’s Bijan 100% for me.

Warner

Also are you doing the YouTube videos on your rankings this year or no? Just curious cause I always look forward to those

Warner

I’m at pick 2 in my 12 man ppr I wanna go breece or bjan but I know everyone’s really high on lamb and hill idk I’ve found it easier to build a team around a premium RB than looking for that 2nd or 3rd round rb, I guess my question is what do yall think?

A$AP Savage

i can't express this enough but you saved my season yet again. thanks for the draft board homie!

Gracen DeRaffele

Why would you pick dmont with your forth round lock when you could still be drafting wr value there and wait for later snags like j ford, pollard, or raheem. I don’t think dmont is worth a fourth rounder when you could pick any of those guys 7-10

Jimmy Zajac

Just in time for my draft this Friday - thank you, this is going to help a ton!

Lucas Wollin

The Colby Parkinson slander!

Honeybadger

Any reason you are below consensus on Rashee Rice besides the suspension?

Jan Pokorný

Who is your biggest sleeper this year (as David Montgomery was last year)? And thanks for Montgomery, he was biggest factor in my title season ;)

zhoose

Yup, full PPR. Him being a volume back last year is what is scaring me, although I don't think Bucky Irving is necessarily going to outstage him this early in his career.

Ryan Schuck

Don’t worry about the delay, this is great stuff!

Braydon Bryan

This is a Brett question 100%. Until Brett gets here I have a question that might help him answer. It’s a PPR league?(At least White retains Mayfield).

zhoose

Actually, since I'm still slacking off, I have another question for you. In my 10 man league (Pick 8), I'm ending up with Rachaad White in round 3 a lot, but I'm of two minds about him. For one thing, he's going as the RB13 and finished RB4, and Graham Barton only makes him seem more valuable. On the other hand, I'm worried that the change in staff will uniquely hurt White's fantasy value, and he's going to have a Dameon Pierce/Miles Sanders type season next year. I'm at the point where I feel like I can only draft White as an RB2, but investing so heavily in RBs in the first 3 rounds isn't something I'm usually comfortable with. What are your opinions on Rachaad White?

Tanner Jones

Thanks so much Brett! Quick question I've seen each year you have more people in a round than typically can be picked in standard leagues. Are the rankings more under the philosophy you're okay picking these players in each round?

Samuel McLellan

I am keeping Monty in the 6th round so using him as a anchor, just trying to think of a good fit against the 1yd td machine

zhoose

What a life, drink a glass for us poor souls slacking off at work.

Braydon Bryan

Brett, this definitely requires a Brett consultation I can confidently say that when a question gets this nuanced it’s beyond my pay grade. I have to assume you’re keeping a WR? I’d add as much detail as possible and set the stage so Brett can answer the question. I will say your options at 7 seem promising. If you’re keeping David Montgomery I apologize for my stupid response - although it would be a surprise for Montgomery to be your saved player (although I love him). Now I’m shooting the flare gun, good luck this season

Alexandre Tagredj

Ok that makes sense. It's a 10 man league!

Mario Marra

LOVE YOU BRETT

Samuel McLellan

Pick 7 in a keeper league usually starring down saquon, kyrien or Harrison in the first.

Braydon Bryan

Do you know what pick you have yet?

Braydon Bryan

That’s correct

Braydon Bryan

It goes top to bottom- but the later the round the less rigid that rule is. For example - CMC is definitely the first pick of the first round - 1st pick of the draft. But later on in round 12 their values are more likely to be rough estimates than strong pin point opinions.

Braydon Bryan

Superflex QB Leagues see QBs go #1 overall if I’m not mistaken. You’d need a whole new chart, here’s what you can do —- Take Brett’s QB rankings chart by itself- ignore the rounds - and try to find Superflex ADP charts. You’ll be able to see how you should be valuing the quarterback position —— but you’ll also still get the benefit of Brett’s QB order. Superflex is its own animal. You might see 5 QBs taken right away in the draft. - Wouldn’t be a surprise to see a team double up at QB with their first two selections either. There are only 32 starters, maybe 24 of those are worth starting - then throw in Bye Weeks and bad matchups. You get the point.

Braydon Bryan

It’s 100% a result of missed time. Maybe a small sliver of QB uncertainty - but Brett likes Darnold so that might be like .2% of the equation. I’m drinking red wine and answering questions nobody asked me. Life is good.

zhoose

Is Hockenson rated so low solely because of him missing time, or do you also think his play will suffer once he comes back?

Braydon Bryan

Yes actually, it does change a bit, in half PPR Hill definitely overtakes Lamb entirely to me. CMC and Bijan become no brainers at the first 2 spots - over the wideouts. To simplify it, in half PPR you have 2 and a half options. ——- CMC, Bijan, and the half is Tyreek Hill. In my opinion, at 2 you’re guaranteed a great RB. You’re more likely to encounter values later on at WR than RB. For example in most leagues Puka will be gone in the first 15 picks - but Kupp might survive all the way to the 30th. If you started your draft with Bijan, Kupp, maybe D.J. Moore - end it with David Montgomery with the 4th? You get the point. You can get premium players. Under normal circumstances you really want to address the RB position twice in your first 4 picks. - you can have a great draft. Who knows maybe Mahomes will be there all the way at your 3rd pick. Drafts get weird. How many teams in your league?

Justin Cieszykowski

Hey Brett, I’m in a super flex league, which values quarterbacks a lot higher since we can play two of them. Should I drop quarterbacks down a round if that’s the case?

Samuel McLellan

Who is the best rb to pair with David Montgomery to create a safe but deadly rb duo

Noah Banga

do you have any long shots from the NFL requested specials section on bovada that you like? I think Mahomes MVP and Caleb Williams OROY at +1000 is pretty good but wanted to know what u think

Alexandre Tagredj

Ok thanks for the answer. I'm half ppr so does that change things a lot?

Gracen DeRaffele

Is there any specific order to each round? Or is it no particular order in each round

Patrick Riley

Love it Brett! Thank You!

Survivor12120

In the ranking you have a few round difference between Rhamondre and javonte williams in dynasty half ppr would they be closer?

Brian Peters

Brett, Last year you were really high on Puka and obviously he exceeded even your expectations. You were also very high on Flowers who had a damn good season. I ended up drafting both of those players. Thank you for that. You were also very high on Rochon Johnson who I also drafted. Question 1. Who are your wide outs your really high on that might slip this year? Question 2. I still love Rochon, do you think he will eventually take that job? I’m an Eagles fan so I know all about Swift. Can’t block at all and needs a good line in front of him. Will Rochon take that job? Maybe EJ would have input. lol

Andrew Rogers

Hey Brett - would you move QB’s up the board as a whole for a league with 6pt passing TDs?

Nick Harding

Olave has been my guy for the last two years but he really disappointed last year, do you think he'll live up to that 2nd round adp?

Braydon Bryan

If it’s PPR you’re okay. RBs get a bump because elite guys at the position are harder to nail down. CeeDee received crazy volume last year. So even if he doesn’t exactly replicate last year - he’s still an upper echelon player. Some boards have him as high as pick 2. When it comes to WR - there’s a solid grouping of guys in the top pick category. Tyreek, Jamar, JJ, St. Brown - and of course CeeDee. You’re in perfectly good shape. You might’ve missed out on some upside or value - but CeeDee is a damn safe bet. He’ll likely finish as a top 10 guy and that’s all you can ask for with your 1st round pick. He’s a stud. — Bijan might be a must draft at 2 for me. Some people put Breece ahead of him, but I think Bijan is actually Superman. The supporting cast in Atlanta also happens to be the equivalent of Superman (pending a solid Kirk Cousins season). That’s two Supermans. Some people might automatically shame you for taking Lamb over Hill - you gotta do you in this world tho.

Alexandre Tagredj

Is ceedee so low because of the contract situation? I have the 2nd pick and he was my choice for a while but now I'm not feeling it..

Braydon Bryan

I swear, last random thought. I love Roschon, complete every down back. Great in pass pro. I want him to get the opportunities - but idk if I should expect it. Herbert on the other hand should be placed in the Zach Charbonnet range imo. He’s a pure runner and will be the lead guy if swift goes down. I do love Roschon - typing this makes me miss David Montgomery in Chicago btw. The Chicago RB room is pretty damn solid. Roschon starts on a few teams right away. Also - I see a lot of people fading Zack Moss in favor of Chase Brown. I can’t really speak to it, Chase Brown looks like a good runner from what I’ve seen though. - I see you have them relatively close so it looks like it’s something you’ve already paid close enough attention to.

Braydon Bryan

I lied - last one - Evan Engram, sue me, while I love Mcbride - I think those two are slightly closer. Engram is in very good company though, with Pitts and Kittle. Engram obviously isn’t a better player than those two, I just think he’ll see that production no matter what. 114 catches might be tough to replicate, I haven’t watched the film, but if Jacksonville has a real prospect at the X role with BTJ - maybe the demand for a big bodied guy will be lessened? With rookies it takes time to be phased out. I still think Engram is going to catch 90 passes minimum. That being said - you must be expecting REALLY big things from McBride. I wish my mother felt the same way about me.

Braydon Bryan

Ohhhhhh I love the Drake London spot too, I’m gonna shut the fuck up now P.S. Richardson is demon from hell at QB - but I really love the late values on Prescott and (I’m a biased bears fan) Caleb Williams. I feel fuzzy with those guys. I hope CeeDee is made happy and I’ll feel fuzzier.

Braydon Bryan

I might leave like 30 comments. I’m assuming the inspiration behind this list is similar to your real life mock-drafts. “Who you’d take” Tre McBride, Bijan, Kupp Relative to their ADPs on other platforms, there are so many massive values this year Bijan goes as late as pick 6 Kupp hangs in there till nearly round 4, McBride I swear gets to round 5 or 6 - of course I love him at those ranges, he’s a PPR monster at TE, he ultimately would be worth the 3rd I’m too greedy for all that

Braydon Bryan

I love the Bijan Robinson position. He’s going as far as 6 in some leagues. He’s a tremendous value this year. One of the very few super heros left at his position. I’m a psycho - so when I saw he was going mid-first I immediately started to justify why he’s arguably a #1 overall pick candidate.

Nick Lorant

You can open excel files with Google sheets

Hahlen Barkhau

what's the thinking behind Kupp over Puka?

Sergio Ponce

Extremely high on JK dobbins 👀 also no love for Jayden Reed? 😳

Thomas Wu

Is it possible to post pdf or google doc versions of the excel sheet for this without excel? Appreciate your work as always

Brian Kardell

It looks like you have QBs and TEs higher than other popular rankings. Is it generally your strategy to draft these positions earlier or do you just think the QBs and TEs are big difference makers this year?

Hermes

Them, and Cole Kmet, Gabe Davis, Rashod Bateman, Elijah Moore, Keaton Mitchell, Geno Smith are probably the most viable vets available if that means anything

Hermes

Thanks Brett! Crazy question, but in my 12-team dynasty league Tank Bigsby, and Tre Turner are all available to draft. Around what tier of RB and WR would you have Tre Turner and Tank?
