Should I draft Dak Prescott or Patrick Mahomes? (PPR)

The verdict

Patrick Mahomes

88%confident

I benched the older man for the insulted one. The hierarchy of my biases, revealed at last.

Dak's the elder and played every week — the veteran circuit made its case in a blazer. Solid case.

But Mahomes averaged 20.4 a game and got projected at 17.6, a three-point insult to the greatest arm of the era. Regression denial is a HIGH-tier compulsion; eldership is MED. The org chart decided. Overturned. 88%.

↻ Re-roll — the blazer wins occasionally.
