Episode Description from the Publisher

Nate Polvogt and Mike Vadala break down a 10-team 1QB PPR redraft mock draft, walking through every pick and the strategy behind a format where studs are available in every round.The guys dig into the early-round debate at the top — Jahmyr Gibbs, Ja'Marr Chase, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Bijan Robinson, and Jonathan Taylor — and how the WR vs. RB question shapes the rest of your draft. From there, they get into the middle rounds where value pockets open up around Drake London, Rashee Rice, De'Von Achane, Trey McBride, and Ashton Jeanty.Nate and Mike also cover late-round bets, sleepers worth circling on your cheat sheet, and the roster construction differences that make 10-team redraft a unique beast compared to 12-team formats.Topics covered in this episode: the 1.01 decision in 2026 PPR, early-round WR vs. RB strategy, building around a workhorse RB vs. an elite WR core, mid-round value at WR and TE, identifying late-round upside picks, and roster construction tips specific to 10-team 1QB redraft leagues.Optimus Fantasy is proud to be part of Scott Fish Bowl 16 — the world's biggest fantasy football charity tournament, benefiting Fantasy Cares.
