it's a brutal spot. i know a lot of people are going chubb in that spot but i think it's short-sighted with hunt eventually coming back. DJ is the safe pick, it's so easy to find great WR in the 2nd round and beyond

safe pick at 5 is adams/hopkins, not DJ

[JMath]

I had 12/12 in a similar league and went WR/WR (Julio/Tyreek) then got Mack/Carson as my next 2 picks. Depends how you feel about Cook, Mixon, and Gurley who are likely the best RBs available at that pick. Chance that Bell, Conner, or even DJ falls to you which in that case I'd take one of them and whatever WR you think is the best available.

Juju

Juju & Conner

I ended up taking Julio, and Connor. I wanted Juju, but I think he was taken. Which was ok, because I don’t usually like relying too much on a single team. I already regret Hooper with the Julio pick.

Team looks like this:
Qb- Goff
Rb- Conner, Gordon (risked it), Johnson JR, Singletary, Mattison
Wr- Julio, Cooks, Shepherd, Anderson
TE- Hooper, Fant
D/ST- Bears
K- Fairbairn

Middle rounds were really slim pickings. I had a lot of mid round WR I liked but I either needed to REALLY reach, or pray for them to drop. They didn’t.

looks fine, most 10 team leagues do

I have Wentz in a lot of my leagues, should be a good year for him

[sandcar3]

Last draft was last night 10 team with 2 flex spots, non-PPR and I picked 5th.

QB: Goff
RB: Aaron Jones, Mark Ingram, Guice, Lat Murray, Penney, McCoy
WR: Adams, Brandin Cooks, Mike Williams, D.J. Moore, Dante Pettis, James Washington
TE: Kelce
K: Lutz
Def: Dallas

I wanted to mix things up with this draft so took Adams first and Kelce second. After that I was playing catch up on RB's the rest of the way. Every time my pick came up I felt like the value was at WR so I ended up pretty heavy at that position in my opinion. Perhaps once injuries hit and some team is in need I can trade a WR for an upgrade at RB, but I think this team should do ok.

[bloodhak]

How did i fare..PPR 12th man
Rivers, Cousin
Diggs, Boyd, Sanders, Green,Metcalf
Kamra, Ekeler, Cohen, Singelarty,Henderson
Ertz,Graham

Thinking of getting J samuels(pitts) from waiver but drop who?

Pretty solid team. Breida or singeltary if available

“I believe the National Football League season is a grueling, grinding season, particularly on running backs,” Pederson said Wednesday. “And if you don’t have a couple of guys that you can really hang your hat on, it’s hard to get through a season.”

“For us here, it’s worked,” Pederson said. “And we’ll continue to [use a committee]. We also ask our guys to play special teams, so that’s another aspect of the running back position.”

Pederson is usually pretty straight forward when answering questions like this (and he's run the team this way in the past as well), so just a warning to anyone too deep on the Sanders hype train. I wouldn't be surprised if no one gets more than 12-14 touches until there are injuries and the committee thins out a little. Howard, Sproles, and Clement are all competent RBs.

[sandcar3]

Neither available. Justin Jackson, Carlos Hyde, Ronald Jones, and Frank Gore are but that is about it. One of those I guess could get decent volume but I think I'll just stay put for now.

until they finally trade for Gordon....

safe pick at 5 is adams/hopkins, not DJ

Solid advice from someone who took DJ at 5 in our Strong Everything draft lol

[ThatOneBigKid]

Jumped into a 10 man league last night as my buddy's league needed a 10th guy. 10 man, .5PPR. Drafted out of the 8th spot. Standard Snake.



Not super thrilled with this team, but I don't hate it either. Thoughts?

solid RBs but the WRs need work

[SpermWhale]

thoughts on this 12 team PPR draft? Yahoo gave it a C+

QB - Newton
RB - Conner
RB - A. Jones
RB - C. Carson
RB - Henderson Jr
WR - T. Hill
WR - M. Williams
WR - Gallup
WR - Pettis
WR - Sutton
TE - H. Henry
TE - Hockenson
DEF - NE
K - Crosby

[ThatOneBigKid]

solid RBs but the WRs need work

My exact thoughts as well. Hoping that one or two of the WRs out perform their preseason projections. Thinking I should have grab a more solid WR1 before getting Montgomery in the 4th, but damn I think he is going to have a huge year.

[BombsAwayBoyos]

How'd I fair? 10 team full PPR with the 5th pick. The main pick I was iffy about was my 4th round and I picked Marlon Mack. Carson was available but for some reason, pulled the trigger on Mack. Hold me

QB: Brees
WR: OBJ, Golladay, Allen Robinson, Will Fuller, MVS, Desean Jackson
RB: DJ, A Jones, Mack, R Freeman, N Hines, T Montgomery
TE: Hunter Henry
K: Butker
D: NE

Really solid team, but obviously would be even better with Carson over Mack. I still like Mack though.

[Dyel1991]

Who should I go with for my flex this week?

Aaron Jones, Chris Godwin, Marlon Mack, Dede Westbrook.

I am really hesitant to go Jones against the Bears. Thinking Godwin

that's tough but it's too early in the season to play matchups to that level IMO. i'm sticking with my expensive players which in this case is jones.

This. It's Week 1, play your most talented player.

who said I was drafting for safety though?

I went rb in the first round in all my snake drafts this year

which team wins this?
PPR 10 team

Team A Zeke + Julio
Team B CMC + Beckham

Leaning towards tean A but im a cowboys homer so need outside opinions por favor

Team A for me.

A, although the holdout does create more risk with Zeke due to soft tissue injuries (i.e. pulled hamstring, etc) from not having training camp. Regardless, I'd definitely still say A. I like Julio a lot this year, more than OBJ, although both should be solid WR1s.

I like my c+ team lol

The Next Chapter: Antonio Brown and GM Mike Mayock got into it Wednesday, and the team is now planning to suspend its star wide receiver, league sources tell ESPN.

fukkin LOOOOOLLL....

Pretty sure a bunch of us predicted something like this, but not this early....

Exactly why I avoided him in every single draft.

There was at least one of me who said it could even come this early, but you guys just accused me of being a bitter Steelers fan. There is something clearly mentally off with him. Ten years of big hits with an uncertified helmet probably figures in there somewhere, sadly.
