Shawn Siegele recommends aggressive draft selections to execute a trendy Underdog BBMIV draft plan that’s perfect for 2023.

In the 2023 Underdog Workshop, I’m using the Roster Construction Explorer and Advance Rate Explorer to create evidence-based draft plans to handle any slot and room.

The Lean and Mean WR Room Creates Deadly Tournament Rosters

Trying to figure out how to make the best late picks to unlock BBMIV upside? Don’t miss Bjorn Yang-Vaernet’s detailed breakdown of late stacks and back stacking.

Last week I wrote about creating blended teams that balance the current ADP environment and simultaneously learn from both the optimal 2021 and 2022 constructions without necessarily assuming that we know what will work in 2023 ahead of time.

In this case I have the 1.08 and am considering A.J. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jaylen Waddle for the selection. Ben and I recently discussed the advantages of the latter three players on Stealing Bananas. If a few of those names sound like strange options at the 1.08, listen in for our explanation of why you might find the best success with the biggest reaches on Waddle.
