I think Hill will do better than everyone thinks this year. He's not going to have a year like his rookie year but I think he will have 12+ TDs. Without Eifert in the red zone I think they'll use him near the goal line a lot. That being said his production will prob be really inconsistent

Trich 2.0 book it, he still fumbles and isnt as elusive as when he was a rook. gio is going to do better than him esp in ppr

I'm not big on Hill. It's pretty much a guarantee that Gio will get his touches and vulture TDs from Hill.

i called it last year and everyone talked chit to me...felt good to be right haha

[dhawkeye1980]

ayyy Matt Jones hurt shoulder, bet they wish they hadnt let morris walk, dude still can pound if elliot stays hurt i see alfie having a good year

[Jayarbie]

CJ Anderson, Woodhead, Hill and Gore. Not the greatest, but with that trio at WR I'll take it.

I'm surprised CJ fell to the 4th. Is that happening a lot? He's supposed to be a bell cow.

He burnt plenty last year, myself included. But is tempting at 4th.
In my last couple of standard mock drafts he went 3rd and 4th rounds. Makes sense he would be around there if people are concentrating on WR's and the premo RBs are gone.

[Fiz-iks]

Please rate this mock draft. I tried a new strategy. 12 man mock, picked out of the 8th spot.

QB: Brady, Carr
WR: D Thomas, Landry, Benjamin, Shepard
RB: AP, Ingram, Duke Johnson, Abdullah, Powell
TE: Bennett

I'm thinking this would make a pretty solid team to start the season out with.

Hope you're trolling. That team looks brutal.

Where is Brady falling in most standard leagues?
Hoping he falls a bit after the run starts on QBs, so i can get a solid QB without wasting a high pick.

Tons of decent QB's in fantasy right now. You literally can't go wrong. Maybe if you're playing in a 14 man and you get some dolts who take 3 QB's.

Rodgers/Luck/Stafford/Bortles/Rivers/Palmer/Wilson/Newton etc.

[henryk21]

What do you guys think of my squad?

This is what I ended with

3rd overall .5 PPR 10 team, snake, keeping David Johnson in the 12th.

QB: Eli

WR: AJ Green, Alshon Jeffrey, DT, Jordan Matthews, Marvin Jones, Kamar Aiken

RB: David Johnson, Demarco Murray, Giovani Bernard, Charles Sims, Powell, Jerick McKinnon

TE: Jordan Reed

Defense: Arizona

K: Tucker

You're a little thin at RB for a 10-man league. Did you have to take AJ first because of the other keepers?

Yeah next best receiver was either Dez or Aj, sucks. I should have never took Jordan reed in the 4th and just stocked up on more RBs. Hopefully Gio gonna be a nice PPR back again

[meyer23]

this was my first real draft of the year

14 team, 2 QB league



QB: Palmer, Alex Smith

WR: Julio Jones, Jarvis Landry, Green-Beckham, Pierre Garcon, Kamar Aiken,

RB: Lamar MIller, Jay Ajayi, Deangelo Williams, Chris Thompson, Mcfadden, Blount, Josh Ferguson

K: Gould


Ive never done a 14 team team or a 2 qb league before, so the pace was a little off for me, and I kept getting my picks sniped

[Farley1324]

14 teams and 2QB?

That is retarded as all ****

What is the scoring?

[deepfat]

Alright boyos how'd I do? 10 team PPR with potatoes as GMs. I had the 10th pick:

QB: Taylor, Ryan
RB: AP, D. Murray, Hyde, Stewart, Henry, D. Johnson Jr
WR: Hopkins, Jeffery, Cooks, Moncrief, Mi. Floyd, Coleman
TE: Gates
DST: Oakland
K: Crosby

Run on QBs was super early and I decided not to bite although I expect Taylor to have a good year. People were picking defenses by the 5th and Justin Tucker (I chit you not) went in the 5th fuking round. Hopefully I loaded up well and should be able to survive major injuries.

Thoughts?

technically one of the flex spots is for any position, but everyone uses qb for the most part

2 yards rush-.1 pts
4 yards passing=.1 pts
td's=6pts
passing td's=3pts
.25 ppr

lmao congrats on your championship

[bballaman369]

Just had my first draft. Was 6 out of 10 with all TD's being 6 points, half point PPR

QB Bortles
RB- CJ Anderson, Lat Murray, D Williams, Gio, Ajyai, Powell
WR- Julio, A Robinson, Evans, Moncrief, Torrey Smith
TE- Walker, Graham
K Mcmanus
D/ST Rams

Think I did pretty well. I wish I took a RB in the 3rd over Evans, but outside of that I like it.

WRs are strong, RBs are weak, at least dwills 3 games will be nice

Yeah, with Bell's injury history he might end up being a RB1 again. The only thing will be playing matchups week 1-3 with Williams, Murray and Anderson.

[kids.got.soul]

Had my first draft yesterday in a 12-team picking at #12, .5PPR. Pretty weird draft for me. I pretty much hoarded RBs based on what players kept falling to me at the turn.

QB: Tyrod Taylor
RB: David Johnson, Lamar Miller, Ryan Matthews, Bernard, Ajayi, Christine Michael, Chris Johnson
WR: Cobb, Edelman, Floyd, Tajae Sharpe
TE: Barnidge, Dwayne Allen

Should be able to move some of my RB depth to upgrade at WR, although I do believe in Cobb should bounce back a bit with Nelson playing again. Also hoping that Floyd keeps up his production from the back end of last season.

[Iceman1800]

Draft later this week. 2nd, 23rd, and 26th picks. Obviously more after but my focus will be there. Thinking Gurley, AJ Green and Aaron Rogers should be around for my 1st 3 picks

Don't take a QB in round three unless you have some kind of QB premium scoring

Are you doing PPR or standard?

With the second pick I would be taking Julio or OBJ, or somehow if someone goes potato and doesn't take Antonio Brown at #1. I wouldnt be looking at Gurley until after those 3 wideouts are off the board.

Unlikely Green lasts til 23. You'll be looking more towards Allen Robinson (maybe), Brandon Marshall, maybe Dez.

Rodgers @26 is very high for a QB. You can get much more talent at a skill position (RB or WR) at that pick. Personal preference however, but I've never taken a QB early.

[Vitamin0]

10 Person League
0.25 PPR
6pts for Passing TDs
-3pts for Passing INTs

[Iceman1800]

Standard scoring. So wait until Rd 4 for a qb?

Not sure which round to wait till since my league always does juiced scoring for QBs (see my post above), but you also don't want to wait and get stuck with Eli Manning for example lol. I'd say do some mocks and see where QBs are going. That'll give you an idea...

[JUGGERNAUT1333]

I typically don't go QB until VERY late. like rounds 8-11 depending. Guys like Rodgers, Newton or Brady you'll have to overpay for because every league has a guy who will take them early. You can get a decent QB late in draft. I aim for guys like Eli, Romo, Rivers or Bortles.

But If I'm on the clock, and I don't see anyone available I like at skill position or TE I may go early for a QB and take someone else like Ben, Wilson, ect.

EDIT: To answer about Rodgers however, if he's available in the 4th round there is a 50/50 I take him depending on who is available because he is that good. After round 4 the gap in talent at positions isn't that big, and I'm ok with waiting until the 5th for my next WR or RB.

Not sold on Tyrod Taylor at all. I know he's been good in the preseason, but I'm not taking him unless it's as a backup. I'm not sold on your RB depth either. Mathews is made of glass and the rest are backups. Getting Johnson & Miller at the first turn was a coup, though, as both are solid first round picks. Tajae Sharpe is a serious sleeper. I think he'll end up as the #1 receiver on a team that should have an improved passing game in Mariota's second year. Overall, pretty good.

So far in my mocks I've seen it go

1.) Newton/Rodgers
2.) Newton/Rodgers
3.) Wilson
4.) Brady
5.) Big Ben

Cam and Rodgers haven't made it past the 4th, and I think Russ is gone by the 5th.

[Tyler2106]

Hope you're trolling. That team looks brutal.

In a 12 man league, I don't know how you can say that mock was brutal. But, to each their own.
