After debuting this miniseries a couple of years ago, I’m excited to have the opportunity to author the 2024 iteration!
With the NFL draft now months behind us and training camp/preseason just around the corner, we are nearing the crescendo of the NFL off-season. As such, the window for making final roster adjustments is drawing to a close, with the obtainment of actionable game information just over the horizon in September. Put another way, it would not be unreasonable to assert player values are less likely to fluctuate over the next couple months (pending injuries) as compared to when the regular season is in full force.
In that spirit, I’ve selected players to buy, sell and hold for all 32 NFL teams. This miniseries will be broken down by division, with 12 players highlighted per article and 96 overall. In a 12-team league with 20 roster spots (similar to the DLF ADP), that accounts for 40% of the players!
Before we dive in, a few notes and disclaimers:
- Player values were obtained from the combination of the most current ADP (pending the lead time necessary for authorship), and the DLF Top-250 rankings;
- The league paradigm is assumed to be PPR and 1QB (players in superflex and/or 2QB leagues would likely have some divergence from those I’ve selected);
- Opinions on players are my own and do not represent all of DLF; and finally,
- Exact player values are always going to be dependent on individual leagues and owners, and may not be consistent with the assertions provided herein.
With that said, let’s continue with the AFC South! Players will be profiled individually, with a tabulated summary of all 12 provided at the article’s conclusion.
Houston Texans
Buy: Cade Stover, TE (ADP = 221.5, Rank = N/A)
With 2024 anticipated to be something of an apprenticeship for Stover, there’s an argument to be made that he’ll still be a “buy” candidate in a year’s time. However I’m of the mindset that as long as your league size is big enough, it’s good to be forward-thinking. Perhaps nowhere is this truer than at the tight end position, when we need to throw as much crap as we possibly can at the wall to hopefully see something stick.
