1. Peter Overzet

Projected Finish: 1stA

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

Justin Jefferson and Amon-Ra St. Brown anchor an elite WR corps, and the ideal 5-man TE room (Kincaid, Henry, Sadiq, Otton, Gesicki) is a dream build for Tight End Premium. Combined with a historic level of market value and three separate correlated stacks, this is the clear best roster in the league.

2. Christian Hellmers

Projected Finish: 2ndA-

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

An ideal 4-deep TE room (Pitts, Goedert, Freiermuth, Helm) is exactly what this format rewards, and the full 4-man Cam Ward TEN stack shows real correlation intent even at the QB2 spot. Josh Allen was an early reach, but the roster mined excellent value everywhere else.

3. Brent . Mark Messina

Projected Finish: 3rdB+

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

Jahmyr Gibbs at 1.01 anchors the roster and Travis Kelce still provides top-shelf Tight End Premium production even with a modest reach. Excellent value across the QB room (Stroud, Shough) helps offset a TE room that stopped one player short of the ideal depth, and a three-player week 9 WR bye is worth monitoring.

4. John Shaw

Projected Finish: 4thB+

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

A truly elite RB trio (Bijan Robinson, Saquon Barkley, Breece Hall) is the headline here, giving this team a massive weekly floor. The TE room (Likely, Hockenson, Engram) is within range but not at the ideal depth, and both TE picks came at a slight reach.

5. Scott Connor

Projected Finish: 5thB

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

Brock Bowers is the single best Tight End Premium asset in the league, and this roster carries solid positive market value overall, aided by a full 4-man DEN stack around Bo Nix. However, the TE room is far below optimal at just two players despite Bowers’ talent, the WR room is beyond optimal in size, and two separate WR bye concentrations (including the largest single-week pile-up in the draft) create real lineup risk.
Values & Overpays: 7/10 Stacking: 7/10 Roster Construction: 2/10 Bye-Week Concerns: 2/10

6. Harrison Dillman

Projected Finish: 6thB-

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

CeeDee Lamb and Trey McBride give this team a strong WR1/TE1 combination, and the roster’s market value is roughly neutral overall. But only carrying two tight ends leaves that room far below optimal, the WR room is beyond optimal in size, and two separate week-specific WR bye pile-ups create real lineup risk on both sides of the schedule.
Values & Overpays: 6/10 Stacking: 3/10 Roster Construction: 2/10 Bye-Week Concerns: 3/10

7. Kevin Brophy

Projected Finish: 7thB-

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

Christian McCaffrey and Malik Nabers headline a strong top of the roster, and rookie Tyler Warren gives this ideal-sized TE room real Tight End Premium upside. Multiple correlated stacks add depth, but burning a roster spot on two same-team quarterbacks (Mendoza and Cousins) is an inefficient use of bench space, and several mid-round reaches left value roughly neutral.
Values & Overpays: 5/10 Stacking: 8/10 Roster Construction: 8/10 Bye-Week Concerns: 10/10

8. Sigmund Bloom

Projected Finish: 8thC+

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

James Cook is a strong true bell-cow RB1, and the George Kittle/Colston Loveland TE duo backed by a full 4-man TE room gives this roster real premium upside, further boosted by two separate 3-man same-team stacks. However, there is no true elite WR1 and a long list of moderate WR reaches erased much of the roster’s market value.
Values & Overpays: 4/10 Stacking: 7/10 Roster Construction: 8/10 Bye-Week Concerns: 10/10

9. Bradley Stalder

Projected Finish: 9thC+

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

Ja’Marr Chase and Derrick Henry give this roster elite bell-cow production at WR1/RB1, and the Burrow/Chase correlation is a nice touch. However, all three TE picks (LaPorta, Andrews, Mayer) were both a light allocation and drafted ahead of their market value, undercutting the format’s premium TE scoring on both fronts.
Values & Overpays: 4/10 Stacking: 6/10 Roster Construction: 7/10 Bye-Week Concerns: 10/10

10. Dawick.Hibbard

Projected Finish: 10thC

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

Jonathan Taylor and Kenneth Walker form one of the best RB1/2 duos in the league, and the WR corps (Olave, Wilson, Metcalf, Hunter) is deep. However, the Tucker Kraft-anchored TE room stopped short of the ideal depth, and a run of moderate reaches offset the Brissett windfall.
Values & Overpays: 3/10 Stacking: 5/10 Roster Construction: 7/10 Bye-Week Concerns: 7/10

11. Matt Schauf

Projected Finish: 11thC

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

Puka Nacua, A.J. Brown, and George Pickens form one of the best WR trios in the league, but the RB room is a committee with no clear lead back, the TE room (Fannin, Dulcich, Justin Joly) is both undersized and a rebuilding project, and the roster overpaid consistently relative to market with no offsetting value picks.
Values & Overpays: 3/10 Stacking: 4/10 Roster Construction: 7/10 Bye-Week Concerns: 10/10

12. Tyler Buecher

Projected Finish: 12thC-

Stacking

Values & Overpays

Bye-Week Concerns

Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton give this team an elite RB1/2 pairing, and the ideal 4-man TE room (with Chig Okonkwo a nice discount) is a real positive for the format. But the bench is littered with double-digit reaches, giving this the worst overall market value in the draft, and since value carries the most weight in this evaluation, that overwhelms an otherwise cleanly-constructed roster.
Values & Overpays: 2/10 Stacking: 5/10 Roster Construction: 8/10 Bye-Week Concerns: 10/10

Grades and projected finish reflect a weighted priority of Values & Overpays, Stacking Patterns, Roster Construction, and Bye-Week Concerns (in that order), evaluated relative to the other 11 rosters in this draft.
