Shawn Siegele updates the Big Gorilla Blueprint with mega-tiers, tiers, 23 priority targets, and player updates.
With one week of the preseason under our belts and draft season going in earnest, it’s time for an update to the redraft plan. In this edition, we’ll discuss movement in the rankings and how to create the most upside in current drafts.
Today’s exercise is best used in concert with the deep research from . . .

If you’re preparing for a home league with substantially different ADP, you can still use the rankings and priority targets, just be sure to emphasize rankings within each positional group. The priority targets should be good for almost any format as long as you’re price conscious and don’t select them before your league demands.
