Its really a wait n see, if rawls n proises cant get healthy he could take over. Too soon to tell, if dynasty or keeper id stash him

Thanks man, seems like a sit tight situation for now - with my luck, whichever is on my roster will be the odd man out IRL.

Cooper Kupp
Kendal Wright
Ted Ginn w snead suspension could end up with the job

Kupp and Wright are good ones too, especially in ppr. Saints run 3 WR-sets pretty much all the time, so Snead isn't going anywhere.

Cooper Kupp
Kendal Wright
Ted Ginn w snead suspension could end up with the job

I am all in on Kupp, got him in both the leagues I play. Believing the preseason connection between him and Goff, think he could easily finish with the most targets and receptions on the team. Goff is also dogsh*t and can't connect with any of the other guys. I see Ginn more as that Moore/Henderson/Stills 3rd guy who has a huge game every now and then but is a ghost most of the time. He's going super late so it's not a bad flier.

Had Kupp but dropped him for white for now. Wait n see deal

Corey Coleman could be a guy we're talking about as a top 20 WR this time next year

That's my "bold prediction" for WR this year

I need to find a league like this lol good draft brah

[GinoFelino]

I have 3rd pick in a 10 team half PPR with keepers. I have Michael Thomas and Pryor as my keepers for a 13th and 10th.

I'm considering taking Zeke at 3rd overall and hopefully Cooks or Dez at 18th. I wouldn't consider this at all if I didn't have 2 WRs already. I find myself liking that combo better than AB and a Gurley or Fournette. Any thoughts?

Depends on who is all being kept I guess. Would Cooks or Dez be there at 18? I've seen Coooks go before the 18th pick in a non keeper league.

This. Can't really help you out unless we know what keepers are already off the board.

There's Ajayi, Howard, Michael Thomas and Melvin Gordon for keepers in the first 2 rounds of ADP. Everyone else is late 3rd round or later. There will likely be a QB or two drafted in the top 18 in this league.

if zekes suspension holds up, you just need to figure out a way to get to the playoffs and you can bet your ass he will be performing for ya.

[dhawkeye1980]

Dorsett to NE for Brisset, Hilton value might go up with a decent QB til Luck comes back

[Fiz-iks]

That will be really interesting. I'm curious to see how much Jacoby has improved. He looked decent last year when he filled in for the 2 games. Unpolished, but you could see the skill. From what I remember he wasn't that good of a passer though.

[MongoloidMike]

Really keen on taking an RB with my first selection as it throws out the balance of my team otherwise.
Would I be crazy to go Freeman/Shady over OBJ/Julio/AJ?
I really want one of the top RBs (don't want Howard/Murray/Zeke or lower as my no1 RB).

Also is anyone ranking Freeman over Shady? I'm scared of Shadys age and injury history, I will sacrifice a point or two a week for some dependability. Also apparently Freeman has home games come finals time.

I have done a fair few mocks for 10 man standard. I have no plans on taking Rodgers but sometimes pending on draft position he slips to my third selection. Should I definitely take him?

I just had a draft and took shady over julio and OBJ. I prob would have taken OBJ except for all the ankle questions right now

In standard Shady scored 248 total points last year, best scoring WR was Evans with only 208.
The math makes sense.

Looking for trade advice, already got offered this in my 12 man, 0.5 ppr league

My:
Ezekiel Elliot
Amari Cooper

for His:
Odell Beckham
Marshawn Lynch

Leaning towards No, i have a feeling elliots suspension will get decreased, also i feel that lynch is over valued this year. rest of my team for reference:

Kirk Cousins
Leveon, Ezekiel, Forte, Jstew, Lacy, Bernard, Denagelo Williams
Amari Cooper, Devante Adams, Allen Robinson, Kenny Britt, Robby Anderson
Kyle Rudolph

imo no
The upside of Odell over Cooper is not worth the downside of Lynch over Zeke.
As long as you can find a remotely serviceable replacement for Zeke in his downtime you will be fine. Not to mention a beastly RB duo come finals.
Maybe if it was Devante instead of Cooper I would be tempted.

Entire trade comes down to how much you value Lynch.

[dhawkeye1980]

Word is the eagles are "looking at other options" than blount. I think they need to trade for Morris from the cowboys. He looks explosive and is still a borderline rb1

[henryk21]

QB: Russel Wilson

RB: DJ(keeper in 11th), Christian McCaffrey, Mark Ingram, Duke Johnson, Jeremy Hill, Latavius Murray

WR: Antonio Brown, Keenan Allen, Golden Tate, Jeremy Maclin, Adam Thielen, Cooper Kupp

TE: Jimmy Graham

K: Tucker

D: Stream

Blount looks like hot garbage in the eagles system. Been lol'ing hard at people drafting him.

[EthanHun]

WR: Antonio Brown, Keenan Allen, Golden Tate, Jeremy Maclin, Adam Thielen, Cooper Kupp

TE: Jimmy Graham

K: Tucker

D: Stream

Team looks meh. QB top 3 TE top 3 Kicker Top 3. RB1 Top 3 WR1 Top3. Then the rest is hot garbage. I really like the adam thielen pick he will start in your flex more than tate and maclin. Probably should have targed kerrem hunt, or monty instead of Mcfartrey. Ingram decent. Johnson Hill Murray Hot garbage.

Overall, 5/10 if it PPR i'd say 7/10

[marcus142]

did i dun goof by drafting gronk and graham? hows my team look? i went YOLO on receivers i know, thinking of swinging a trade for RB, as mine are completely relying on some points for PPR.

starting line up format: QB, WR, WR,WR,RB,RB, TE,W/R/T, DEF, K

12 team, i had the 4th pick
1.0 PPR

QB: cousins/taylor
RB:colemam (atl), kelly (wash.), rawls
Wr: julio jones, a. cooper, davante adams, mike wallace, amendola, gabriel (atl)

Yeah it is ppr. Ty and hunt went before the mccaffrey pick. I picked him late second

Just shat the bed in my live draft. Got drunk and drafted 3 QBs for lulz.

12 team, 0.5 ppr

QB: Rustle Wilson / Jameis Winston / Andrew Luck
WR: Antonio Brown / DeVante Parker / Corey Coleman / Marvin Jones / Robby Anderson / Mike Williams
RB: Leonard Fournette / Kareem Hunt / Doug Martin / DeAndre Washington / Charcandrick West

This is why I'm thinking going RB first pick. Fournette as your best RB :/
Fantasy gods will kill me by passing on AB tho...
