Re: Mixon

Have you seen his catches this pre-season? This dude could make the transition to WR easy. Got him as a lock for 50+ catches. He'll have a solid floor because of his receiving ability.

Saw a few, but also saw some drops. He will be a factor in the pass game. I would guess the under on 50 catches though. Not by much, but under.

[headinahole]

Mixon is a good pass catcher but he's not running the way he did in clllege/rookie year. Timid AF



Not at his current ADP

Nope. Nope. Nope.

[EthanHun]

as much as i love Fournette this year i think that'd be a mistake in a PPR league

How about in PPRush

I’m looking at Mixon with the first pick in my keeper redraft. Essentially 44th overall.

I see the potential, but I think there are also some signs he’s not gonna pan out

Really intrigued by Sony Michel. If he gets Dion Lewis' workload, he can return high-end rb2 numbers.

he's not getting chit atm

not healthy and can't hold onto the ball

I'm surprised The Hoodie even drafted him tbh.


Such a weird fit, even without the fumbles.

What yuja said. Michel has been extremely underwhelming this off season. He's missed almost a month of camp due to injury and knowing Belichick, Michel isn't going to play just because he was a high draft pick. When he was healthy and participating in camp, he wasn't getting 1st team reps...at least not enough to actually be fantasy relevant. Their RB coach said he likes what he saw from Michel before injury, but based on what I was reading on daily camp practices, what the RB coach said and what was happening in practice didn't match up.

[just4kickz]

I'm not saying to reach for Michel, but he's going around guys like Gio, Tarik, Chubb, Jamaal Williams, Mack, etc. He has waayyy more upside than those guys. I see a lot of value at that price.

[thefullmonte]

Thielen leaves practice with left leg injury.

If he were to miss extended time....how much does that effect Diggs’ vale?

EDIT: Sounds fairly minor

I won’t be drafting him and less he drops into that eighth or ninth round… Which I think is probably unlikely in my legs… But I will also say that he has somebody I will probably target fairly heavily around week five or six in trades

As awful as it sounds, I think the New England backfield almost needs an injury for some of the guys there to have standalone value… But if attrition concentrates the touches on monks two or three of them… Then I think you could see a significant roi

How did I do Thinking maybe should have picked gronk at the turn instead of Howard*** and maybe not gotten both GB RB's- Idk

[BrianK.]

Dynasty question:

My significant WRs are...Diggs, Landry, Smith-Schuster, A. Robinson, Fuller

Someone is offering me their 2nd round pick this year (picking right now) and 2nd round pick next year. Would you do this?

Currently best RB/WRs on the board are Moore, Kirk, R. Jones, Sutton...plus a second rounder next year.

Edit: I should say we only start 2 WRs and a flex. So, he definitely won't be in my starting lineup (besides byes of course).

who are they offering you those pics for?

Is that DJ moore or jmon moore?

[BrianK.]

Just the two picks for my Allen Robinson

We are in the middle of the draft right now. (We do a 7 round text draft)

So, those are the four top rookies still available. DJ Moore.

A Rob has only had one good year, but obviously an excellent year. Not completely sold on Mitchell T.

Talk me in or out of it!

Lmao I just realized I left out who I was giving up in first post. Sorry about that.

[The_Standard]

Thoughts on this team?
Who do I drop prior to Week 1 for DEF & K?

14-Team PPR

QB: Marcus Mariota
WR: Deandre Hopkins
WR: Nelson Agholor
WR: Kenny Stills
RB: Melvin Gordon
RB: Dalvin Cook
TE: Austin Hooper
FLEX: Sony Michel
K: Empty
DEF: Empty

Bench
WR: Allen Hurns, Chris Godwin, Keelan Cole, John Brown
RB: Latavius Murray, Austin Ekeler, Nick Chubb, Doug Martin

not bad especially for a 14 teamer. For me I'd be dropping ekeler and martin

idk I might do it, it's a big chance on DJ moore but he will probably be the number 1 in Carolina by the halfway point of the season and I'm not an erob believer especially with Miller and Burton there.

How did u get Gordon cook and Hopkins in 14 team? Keepers ?

Yeah I agree. We know what ARob is, so I’m willing to part ways in hopes of hitting on a stud. Plus getting next year’s 2.

I don't hate it, but I don't think I'd do it.

He rescinded his offer anyways. I was hesitant myself, but taking risks in dynasty is usually the way to go. The ones who don’t trade in our league usually don’t make the playoffs. I probably would have pulled the trigger but only because at the moment he wouldn’t start one game for me unless there were injuries or I needed him for a bye week. Wouldn’t need him for flex either as I have better options at RB and maybe even TE.

I’m only saying this because I’m not sold on Trubisky.

Oh well. I’m sure I’ll be back to bounce ideas off you guys. Thanks.

the fuk, did your league have keepers?

if not, your team is stacked, are you playing with a bunch of potatoes?

[Miscbob]

Is Baldwin alive?
Keen on him but not on injury risk players... talent drops off near him though.

Heard he said yesterday that he's around 85%, will play once the season starts, but doubts he will be at 100% at all this year. Whatever the hell that all means. I like Baldwin too and agree on the talent fall off after him in drafts, but what else does Seattle have? I don't see Brandon Marshal being a target hog, and I don't see Wilson's fantasy value falling off a cliff either. Maybe he'll just run for like 1,000 yards this year.

A fantasy pro i was watching on youtube was still high on him. And i agree with your assessment but didnt realise he had the knee issue. Some tards where in my league so i didnt have to worry about taking him.

[Miscbob]

Had pick 1, ten man standard. I did a heap of mocks and decided going WR for my 2nd and 3rd pick which left me with a decent RB like Drake/Collins for my 4th pick. Whereas I didn't like my WR options at the same time.
Anyway it all got thrown out the window, one guys first draft and fked up, took a kicker second... not as a joke just an accident, didn't know how to draft i guess? Then he exited and it auto drafted really strange for some reason (lots of QB and no WRs until the end). Anyway everything got thrown out and guys i weren't excepting were popping up. Plus the odd potato pick since none of us really follow it (aussieland brahs).

Should've chosen Adams instead of Allen but who GAF I'm cheering. Zero faith in Olsen and his backup is meh, but rest should fire. Hopefully one of Ingram/Shady can live up to their previous form. Thought I killed it but others had solid teams too.

Todd Gurley II
Michael Thomas
Keenan Allen
Alex Collins
Russell Wilson
LeSean McCoy
Greg Olsen
Mark Ingram
Michael Crabtree
Sammy Watkins
Cooper Kupp
Kirk Cousins
Jack Doyle
Dallas
Dan Bailey

[Iceman1800]

My league tonight is an ESPN one and it'll be a random generated draft order. Anyone know how long before the draft this happens? The commish said it's automatic but I'm wondering if it's an hour before or something?
