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

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.

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.
