BBM4 Player Combos  

Thanks to Chad Maschke in the Deposit Kingdom discord, he was able to take submissions and coordinate a table that shows a small sample of drafted BBM4 Player combos. Check it out here: (link)

The Takeaways:

Travis Kelce - was paired with Patrick Mahomes at a staggering 36%. Not a huge surprise here, but picking anyone other than Mahomes with your second pick already makes you a bit different. Players in that range are all being drafted under 10% with Kelce. Additionally, if you are set on having the Chiefs and Bengals stacked in week 17, you can still get exposure through Burrow who goes 2-3 rounds cheaper. The Kelce/Burrow stack was only paired 5% of the time in draft data collected.

The Packers are super stackable- Jordan love had a pairing percentage of over 10% with each viable stack partner.

Notable Draft Rates: 

Parris Campbell - 51% , this will likely start trending up, we’ve seen him going as early as round 15 after the camp buzz.

John Metchie- 96% , was a bit surprised to see him this highly drafted.

Pierre Strong- 25%, with James Robinson now gone in New England, the longer they go without signing a veteran back, the higher the chance Strong looks like an intriguing RB2 for the Pats.

Baker Mayfield- 20% , he’s a tough click. However, both of his receivers go in the top 100 of drafts. From the table, he’s only paired with Chris Godwin 7% and Mike Evans 8%.

Puka Nacua- 14% , keeping getting steady camp buzz out of LA, would expect this go up over the course of the summer with not a whole lot of competition for the WR3 role for the Rams.

Ryan Tannehill- 11% , if you like him or are desperate to get a QB late, now is the time to grab him. If Hopkins signs in Tennessee, we would suspect his draft rate goes up significantly.
