🥇 Your Draft Prep Edge Is Here

ESPN, Sleeper, and Yahoo values updated for this weekend.

Happy Friday!

Last week I asked you to answer a poll asking where your primary league was hosted, and roughly 48% of you answered Yahoo! Followed by ESPN, and then Sleeper.

This week I have a poll asking which weekend your drafts are scheduled for. Let me know!

Back to draft domination.

📝 Draft Day Cheat Sheet

Welcome to Year 2 of my draft cheat sheet - JuiceSheets!

These sheets pair nicely with my Abusing Draft Rankings as it includes projections and a value column for Standard, Half PPR and PPR scoring on ESPN, Sleeper and Yahoo. Check it out as a tool to use as you draft.

🏷️ This Week’s Draft Values

Every week I’ll highlight draft values found in draft rooms, primarily using my Abusing Draft Rankings tool to help find these players.

SEA RB Zach Charbonnet - ESPN

Draft room rank: RB46 | Expert rank: RB35
Landmine Score: 3.8

Charbonnet may be a favorite late round RB target of mine, and he is presently a 28 spot discount in ESPN draft rooms. I may actually be targeting both Seattle RBs in Kenneth Walker and Charbonnet, so if I miss out on Walker I am definitely biting on Charbonnet.

MIA WR Jaylen Waddle - Sleeper

Draft room rank: WR31 | Expert rank: WR25
Landmine Score: 5.6

The Dolphins traded away almost 20% of their 2024 target share in Jonnu Smith and Waddle saw his lowest target count by far in his career (84 vs 104 the previous year). Waddle is currently ranked in Sleeper draft rooms 16 spots lower than experts have him ranked. So while I am in on Waddle without a discount, the later pick availability makes this even more savory.

NE WR Stefon Diggs - Yahoo

Draft room rank: WR42 | Expert rank: WR35
Landmine Score: 4.9

All that I’ve seen and heard from training camp so far is that Diggs looks healthy and ready for action. He has yet to miss a training camp practice and looks to be the alpha in this NE WR room. He’s a 19 spot discount in Yahoo draft rooms at the moment and I’m buying.

Returning Draft Values

  • HOU WR Christian Kirk - ESPN & Sleeper

  • CAR WR Tetairoa McMillan - Yahoo

New for 2025: Landmine Score - It’s a 0-10 scale that rates how risky a player is in your draft room - based on how much earlier they’re ranked on your platform versus expert consensus.

Most players land somewhere in the 5-6 range. A score of 10 means they’re being pushed way up the board and you’re probably walking into a trap. A 0? That’s a straight-up steal.
