Watch Me Draft a Fantasy Football Team (August is HERE)

Aaron Jones is evaluated as a draft pick in a specific round, with the source preferring an alternative option (Bill) in that spot, suggesting Aaron Jones may be overvalued or less preferred than other running backs at that ADP.

Alec Pierce was selected as part of a two-Colts-receiver strategy in Ron Stewart's draft. Stewart expressed ambivalence about taking both Colts receivers but proceeded with the selection, debating Laporte as an alternative before deciding to punt tight end and catch up at receiver.

Ron Stewart explicitly stated 'I like Kamara' when drafting him, indicating confidence in his value at his draft position despite acknowledging the unconventional nature of the pick. He was drafted as part of Stewart's final roster construction.

In full PPR formats, Ron Stewart prefers Amon-Ra St. Brown over Jason Moore at the 1.05 ADP, as stated in a recent tweet. Historically, rookie wide receivers like St. Brown, Rashi Rice, and Christian Watson start slow and then end hot, establishing a pattern for evaluating his emergence trajectory.

Ron Stewart ranks Brock Bowers right after the clear top-four tier (Gibbs, Bejon, Chase, Puka) in tight end premium, indicating he views Bowers as the fifth-best option at the position. In tight end premium formats, Bowers is Stewart's target after the big four tight ends are off the board; at the 1.05 ADP in such leagues, Stewart views him as a strong value pick and preferred alternative to JSN.

Ron Stewart identifies Caleb Williams to Colston Loveland as his favorite stack, indicating strong conviction in this pairing for fantasy purposes.

Ron Stewart drafted Ridley in the late rounds around pick 18, describing him as 'fine' if you just need points, indicating he's a depth/filler pick without strong conviction.

Ron Stewart uses solver exposure analysis to identify Chase Brown as undervalued, noting his ADP range of 9.8 to 10.7 is too low relative to his projected value. This is part of Stewart's strategy to keep first-round picks flat while targeting specific value discrepancies in the draft.

Ron Stewart prefers Chig over Gunnar Helm and believes the gap between them is not as large as their draft positions suggest (Chig going round 12, Helm round 16), indicating Chig offers better value.

Ron Stewart is not bullish on Chris Olave for 2025, stating 'I'm not huge on Olave this year' and preferring Collins over him—a preference he acknowledges is 'a little crazy.' Stewart also lists Olave among players being drafted too early. Most critically, Stewart cannot draft Olave in half-PPR formats due to blood clot injury concerns, viewing him as a PPR-only play. Stewart states: 'I can't do the Olave thing, man. I can't do it. Not in half PPR... the blood clot stuff for Olave is like a real concern.'

Ron Stewart's boldest fantasy football prediction is that Colston Loveland leads the Bears receiving room in PPR points, positioning him as a potential breakout candidate in Chicago's offense. Stewart also identifies Caleb Williams to Colston Loveland as his favorite stack, indicating strong conviction in this pairing for fantasy purposes.

Cyrus Allen is banged up as an undrafted guy trying to find his footing; while he's not out for the season, the injury is problematic because he's not learning the offense and gaining trust, and he needs the reps right now.

Ron Stewart mixes Darnell Washington into late-round tight end strategy, evaluating both Pittsburgh Steelers tight ends as acceptable plays. Washington is positioned as a viable late-round option alongside other TE targets when punting the position early.

Ron Stewart is no longer interested in Debo Samuel at his current draft position, having moved him up previously but now deprioritizing him in favor of other options. However, Stewart also notes Samuel had passable yards per run last year and was in the same wide receiver draft class as AJ Brown and DK Metcalf, suggesting bounce-back potential; Stewart observes he appears to be in the best shape of his life and could receive additional carries if Christian McCaffrey goes down, providing upside in the 49ers offense.

Ron Stewart prefers DeVonta Smith over Rashi Rice as a draft alternative, suggesting Smith offers comparable or better value at the receiver position in this range.

Ron Stewart identifies Drake London at ADP 211 as exceptional value despite reservations about pairing him with Bijan Robinson on the same team. Stewart states the value is 'too good to be true' and emphasizes you 'can't say no' to the price, indicating strong conviction on the discount. London typically goes earlier, so falling to pick 211 represents a natural target without forcing a Falcons stack.

The source calls Raridan 'a good call' as a late-round tight end option, suggesting he's a reasonable target in that range. The source identifies Eli Raridan as a good tight end call in draft strategy, positioning him as a viable option alongside other tight end considerations.

Garrett Wilson is Ron Stewart's most drafted player in round 4 across all drafts, indicating strong conviction and frequent selection at that price point.

The source notes George Pickins going earlier than previously observed in draft history, flagging an unusual early draft position without explicit approval or disapproval.

The source prefers Chig Okonkwo over Helm and notes that while Helm is going around round 16 compared to Chig at round 12, the gap between them is not as significant as their draft positions suggest.

Ron Stewart believes Pacheco is being drafted way too early, listing him among players that stick out as overvalued in the current draft environment.

Ron Stewart explicitly declines to draft JK Dobbins despite him falling well past ADP in this mock, passing on him twice and stating 'we can't take JK Dobbins, man.' This indicates Stewart does not want to take the value despite the significant discount, suggesting concerns about Dobbins' situation or health that outweigh the ADP discount.

The source drafted Jake Ferguson as part of their final roster, indicating confidence in his value at his draft position.

Ron Stewart views Jalen Hurts as a tough fantasy pick. Hurts had a career-high in passing touchdowns last year but heavily underperformed relative to expectations, suggesting regression risk or sustainability concerns about his fantasy production.

Ron Stewart argues JSN should not be in the clear top-four tier despite his strong last year because he only has one year of production compared to multi-year producers. There are concerns about the Seahawks' situation including Sam Darnold's unproven performance with a new offensive coordinator, the team's defensive reliance, tough division, and JSN's lack of red zone targets last year, making him not a clear slam dunk at pick 1.05. Stewart observes that JSN is being backed off in real-time draft picks (going pick 7 in this draft) and argues that in half-PPR scoring, he's not the 'undisputed you have to take him' at pick 1.05 every time, suggesting his ADP may be too high relative to his half-PPR value.

Jaden Daniels went at pick 310 in this draft, which Ron Stewart notes is the earliest he's seen Daniels go in his draft experience.

Ron Stewart characterizes Jaden Higgins as a fun draft pick, indicating he sees upside or appeal in selecting him at his current ADP.

Ron Stewart moved Jaylen Warren up in his rankings, believing Warren will be the lead back for an offense Stewart believes in and has explosive run potential. This upgrade suggests conviction in Warren's role and upside for the upcoming season.

Ron Stewart expresses strong personal conviction on Jeremiah Love as a running back, stating he would have loved to get him back at the 3-4 turn. Stewart also states "I just like Jeremiah Love, bro. Like sue me," indicating strong personal preference and willingness to defend the pick despite potential skepticism. Love is selected as part of a balanced team construction strategy, paired with veteran players to create roster depth and positional flexibility, with potential to emerge down the stretch in weeks 8+.

Ron Stewart finds Jonathan Taylor at pick 105 in half-PPR 'defensible' but 'just not for me,' expressing skepticism about his ADP despite acknowledging his receiving-back role was strong last year. The concern centers on role sustainability: while his receiving role was excellent and the Colts' offensive scoring was strong, uncertainty exists about whether his role was inflated by lack of competition (DJ Giddens and Seth McGawan could improve) and potential offensive regression. If he retains his receiving role in the late teens to early 20s range, he'd still be a top-five running back, but Stewart lacks conviction at his current ADP.

Ron Stewart has Jonathan Brooks ranked in his redraft and managed league rankings, included in his live Patreon rankings and upcoming draft guide with ADP and high-stakes comparison tools.

Jordan James is banged up, affecting his availability and draft value in the Eagles backfield amid broader injury concerns in the running back room.

Jordan Tyson has knee injury concerns that are part of his profile evaluation as a second-tier prospect in the source's model.

Ron Stewart expresses strong preference for Johnson as a late-round tight end option when punting the position, stating 'I really like Jawan Johnson this year' and positioning him as an ideal late-round tight end pick. Stewart drafted him as his tight end, describing it as a fine upside swing.

Ron Stewart likes Kenneth Walker and compares his situation to Saquon Barkley in 2024—coming off a mediocre year into an awesome situation with the Chiefs. Stewart believes Walker can be a 50+ target guy given the Chiefs' high pass rate, thin backfield, and strong offensive line, with potential involvement in the passing game on first and second down. Stewart has Walker as a one-to-two turn pick in high-stakes leagues, while ESPN and Yahoo have him as a late second-round pick, suggesting Stewart views him as undervalued in mainstream rankings.

Ron Stewart expresses strong preference for Coleman on Josh Allen teams, stating 'sue me' in a playful way to defend the pick, indicating he's been mixing Coleman into Josh Allen stacks and views him as a valuable target.

Ron Stewart is a strong believer in Marvin Harrison Jr., noting 16% exposure in his portfolio and stating he's 'starting to really come around on Marv.' Stewart projects Harrison as still ascending with another level to reach in year three, positioning him as a breakout candidate. Supporting this view: Harrison was WR26 in PPR points per game last year before injury while sharing the field with Michael Wilson and Trey McBride—two capable receivers—suggesting significant upside in a cleaner role. Stewart also disagrees with the narrative that Michael Wilson is better than Harrison, noting that when both are on the field together, 'Marv's been the guy.'

Ron Stewart drafted Matthew Golden and stacked him with Jordan Love, indicating confidence in his upside as a receiver in the Packers offense. The stack construction suggests Stewart sees Golden as a high-upside play paired with his quarterback.

Ron Stewart disagrees with the take that Michael Wilson is better than Marvin Harrison Jr., noting that when both are on the field together, Harrison has been the primary target and preferred option. Stewart drafted Wilson in the flex spot in this mock, citing team correlation with Caleb Williams and repeated discussion about Wilson's potential as reasons to target him at his ADP.

Mike Evans carries significant injury risk that makes Ron Stewart hesitant to draft him higher. While Stewart understands the upside, he views Evans as 'a massive risk' and is comfortable with his current ADP rather than chasing him up. Stewart expresses hesitation about moving Evans up despite market enthusiasm, preferring McLaren over Evans in the WR range and not chasing Evans upward in ADP.

Prospect ranked in his own tier in the source's prospect model; positioned below Cardinal Tape and the Jordan Tyson/Mai Lemon mini tier.

Ron Stewart drafts Bryant as a tight end option late in the draft, indicating he's acceptable as a depth/quantity play.

The source drafted Quentin Johnston as part of their final roster, indicating confidence in his value at his draft position.

Saquon Barkley was selected at pick 2 in this draft as part of a strategy to double up on running backs at the 1-2 turn when top receivers like Jefferson and Lamb are gone.

Ron Stewart drafts Bell as a Bills receiver in the final rounds, indicating he's acceptable as a quantity/depth play in this draft strategy.

Ron Stewart believes Diggs is undervalued relative to Debo Samuel, who went round 10-12 while Diggs was going around round 13. Stewart is buying the 'homecoming' narrative of Diggs signing with Washington, where he grew up and played college ball at Maryland.

The source drafted Stefan Diggs as part of their final roster, indicating confidence in his value at his draft position.

Ron Stewart indicates willingness to target Tank Dell if he returns from injury, suggesting he's a conditional target in this draft if healthy.

Ron Stewart likes Tee Higgins and thinks he is underpriced, especially in half-PPR format. Stewart ranks Higgins as a mid-third round pick and would take him as soon as possible at that price point, preferring him over other receivers in that range.

Ron Stewart lists ETN among players being drafted too early in the current draft environment, suggesting overvaluation.

Ron Stewart identifies Tyler Warren as a significant value opportunity at tight end. Warren falls to round 76 in this mock, which Stewart notes is 'one of the furthest Tyler Warren falls I've seen,' suggesting a major ADP discount. Additionally, Stewart later notes that Warren returning from injury creates 'a huge value' opportunity, indicating the market has not yet priced in his availability and role.

Ron Stewart drafted Zachariah Branch based on camp buzz and expressed interest in his potential, stating 'He's been getting enough buzz in like camp and stuff that I'm interested. I'm listening.' This indicates confidence in his breakout upside driven by preseason momentum.
