In the full Saddle Bronc Riding Fantasy Rodeo Preview presented by Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, we tier out for the picks, giving you options from the top, middle and bottom third of the World Standings.

At the top, Ryder Wright is still the gold standard. Nine of ten rounds placed last year and a ridiculous number of 85+ rides. Dawson Hay and Damien Brennan are right there with him on momentum and elite fire power,  they rank No. 1 and 2 in 87.5+ Point Rides with 25 and 26 respectively. Zeke Thurston and his four Gold Buckles also provides great value in that top group. He’s No. 4 in the World and automatic at the NFR.

In the middle, Sage Newman and Statler Wright jump out as steady and consistent bronc riders who could stack checks at the NFR, while Brody Cress gives you experience and a super high floor.

For the real value picks, Stetson Wright at $40K might be the best pick on the board with stats comparable to his brother, and Lefty Holman at $10K gives you someone who can win multiple Go-Rounds at a very low price.

This is the fifth event, and it’s a pivot point. Get this one right and you give yourself serious flexibility for the rest of your roster.
