One of Dynasty Twitter’s favorite under the radar running backs is Terrell Watson, currently on the Cleveland Browns. After spending a year on the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad, he followed Hue Jackson to the Cleveland Browns and has since become an intriguing player to pick up in the late rounds of startups or off the waiver wire.

Going into the 2015 season, a number of articles were written at PlayerProfiler that pointed drafters to the same general conclusion: that we should target big-bodied, athletic pass-catching tight ends in the later rounds of our fantasy football drafts. This idea brought about last year’s hit piece entitled Late Round TE Roulette.
Late Round TE Roulette can be played in a number of different ways. Part two of this three part series examines the advanced stats and metrics player profiles of tight ends drafted near the end of fantasy football drafts (Round 13 or later).

Who should be the No. 1 overall pick in fantasy football drafts in 2016? There have been plenty of debates over the last few months about this subject.
In the spirit of the upcoming United States presidential election, we’re going to take a look at the top candidates for this year’s No.1 selection in fantasy drafts. By the end of this debate, I’m hoping to convince you that the best choice is Odell Beckham based on his analytics, advanced stats & metrics player profile.
