As we approach Labor Day weekend, 15 of the redesigned leagues have been completed. I wanted to share with you the players that I have selected the most.
These are my boys.
Field Marshals
This is the position where I have the most diversity. I drafted 14 different quarterbacks (two of the 15 redesigned leagues are Superflex) but I didn’t draft any quarterback more than twice.
These are the quarterbacks I have selected the most so far:
Drake Maye (twice)
Jalen hurts (twice)
Dak Prescott (twice)
Justin Herbert (twice)
Brock Purdy (twice)
Kyler Murray (twice)
I never looked for a quarterback and only selected one if he had a great price. For example, I picked Maye in Round 5 of a 14-team league and got Hurts in Round 7 of a 10-team league.
Of the drafts still to come, I hope to get more exposure to Herbert and Purdy. I’ll also likely focus more on Trevor Lawrence and Jared Goff, and so far I have each of them in at least one league.
Runners
I have selected 47 different runners so far. I only have one rework league with Jahmyr Gibbs and one with Bijan Robinson.
Of the other top 12 running backs based on CBS Sports’ average draft position data, I have three shares of Kenneth Walker III, two shares of Christian McCaffrey, James Cook and Omarion Hampton, and just one pick each of Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry and Ashton Jeanty.
I’ve drafted Chase Brown in some leagues that haven’t been completed yet, but I have yet to draft De’Von Achane or Saquon Barkley. Hopefully, I’ll be able to meet them both this weekend.
These are the brokers that I have selected the most so far:
MarShawn Lloyd (six)
D’Andre Swift (five)
Jadarian Price (five)
Jonas Coleman (five)
Mike Washington Jr. (four)
Kenneth Walker III (three)
Blake Corum (three)
Kyle Monangai (three)
Black Kaelon (three)
James Cook (two)
Christian McCaffrey (two)
Omarion Hampton (two)
Breece Lounge (two)
Rhamondre Stevenson (two)
Tony Pollard (two)
Jordan Mason (two)
Rachaad White (two)
Emmett Johnson (two)
Zach Charbonnet (two)
Alvin Kamara (two)
Ray Davis (two)
I heavily drafted Lloyd before Josh Jacobs was placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, primarily with a pick in Round 10 or later. I also selected Swift in Round 5 in several leagues with early drafts, but his value has increased lately with Monangai (knee) getting hurt.
Price is someone I’m targeting in the fifth round as a No. 2 running back, and I love having Coleman and Washington on my bench with late-round picks. I hope they are both lottery tickets this season.
I’ve been adamant about not drafting McCaffrey this season with his ADP, which is 7.7 overall. But I drafted him No. 11 overall in a league, and I drafted him No. 6 overall in a goalie league when Gibbs, Robinson, Taylor, Cook, Chase Brown, Ja’Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba were off the board.
Both times I drafted McCaffrey, I also drafted Black. And lately I’ve been aggressive in selecting one of my favorite sleepers in Corum, which should continue this weekend.
Wide receivers
I have drafted 45 different receivers and was fortunate enough to land Nacua four times and Chase three times in 15 re-draft leagues. I’m hoping to get more exposure to St. Brown and Smith-Njigba this weekend, and so far I’ve only drafted those receivers in one league each.
I have CeeDee Lamb in two leagues, but only one league with Justin Jefferson, which will change. The other receivers I expect to get more exposure this weekend include AJ Brown, Ladd McConkey and Jayden Reed. So far I only have those receivers in one league each, but I plan to change that given how much I like those players.
These are the wide receivers I’ve drafted the most so far:
Luther Burden III (five)
Puka Nacua (four)
DJ Moore (four)
Jalen Coker (four)
Ja’Marr Chase (three)
Drake London (three)
DeVonta Smith (three)
Tee Higgins (three)
Jordan Addison (three)
Tre Tucker (three)
CeeDee Lamb (two)
Chris Olave (two)
Rashee Rice (two)
Chris Godwin (two)
Quentin Johnston (two)
De’Zhaun Stribling (two)
Golden Matthew (two)
Chris Bell (two)
Jordyn Tyson (two)
Burden suffered a groin injury, which allowed me to draft him in Round 5 in several leagues, and that was an incredible value. I was aggressive in drafting Moore in the fourth round and I’m excited about him in Buffalo.
Coker, Addison and Tucker are three of my favorite sleepers, and it was easy to pick them all, sometimes in the same league. And I’m hoping to further draft Godwin and Johnston, who are two receivers I love to draft with mid-round picks.
It’s not a bad idea to draft Tyson (hamstring) with a late-round pick if you have a spot like IR. You can stash him while he’s out and hopefully he’ll have a good finish to his rookie campaign when he’s healthy.
Tight ends
I’ve only drafted 11 different tight ends so far, but I have six tight ends in various leagues. I was surprised to see how much exposure I have to Travis Kelce, who was selected in four of my 15 re-draft leagues.
Kelce played well in 2025 when Patrick Mahomes was healthy, and Kelce’s ADP is excellent in Round 9. He could once again be a top-five fantasy tight end, even at 36 years old.
Here are the tight ends I’ve drafted the most so far:
Travis Kelce (four)
Trey McBride (three)
Dallas Goedert (three)
Brock Bowers (two)
Tucker Kraft (two)
Kyle Pitts (two)
I haven’t been afraid to draft Bowers in Round 2 or McBride in Round 3, and both should be incredible. I hope to draft more of Colston Loveland, who I only have in one league so far, and I haven’t drafted Tyler Warren yet.
I only have Sam LaPorta in one league so far, but I’ll be adding him to more this weekend. And I’d also like to get more exposure to Kraft and Pitts.
Isaiah Likely is only on one of my teams so far, but he’s another tight end I’ll be recruiting more this weekend. And I’d like to get some exposure to George Kittle, who I don’t have on any of my rosters.
