No aware 1 league this year?

[BearyManilowe]

Draft #2 in the books. Don't know why my leagues are drafting so early, I'm assuming anticipation.

12 team, 0.5 PPR, QB/WR/WR/RB/RB/TE/FLEX/K/D, otherwise standard.

1. (6) Ezekiel Elliott (Dal - RB)
2. (19) Josh Jacobs (LV - RB)
3. (30) Allen Robinson II (Chi - WR)
4. (43) Amari Cooper (Dal - WR)
5. (54) DK Metcalf (Sea - WR)
6. (67) Deshaun Watson (Hou - QB)
7. (78) A.J. Green  (Cin - WR)
8. (91) Jarvis Landry (Cle - WR)
9. (102) James White (NE - RB)
10. (115) Emmanuel Sanders (NO - WR)
11. (126) Jalen Reagor (Phi - WR)
12. (139) Noah Fant (Den - TE)
13. (150) Tua Tagovailoa (Mia - QB)
14. (163) Cleveland (Cle - DEF)
15. (174) Justin Rohrwasser (NE - K)

Not deep at all at RB, but with the Receivers I've got I'm going to try to parlay that into a flex RB to slot in during bye weeks.

Edit: the symbol next to AJ Green indicates that I kept him this year.

Seems like a small reach on A-Rob because I don't trust him to be able to consistently put up numbers year after year, but I like your other WR picks, so it probably doesn't matter much. For a 12 team league, you got a number of what I consider to be good value picks (Cooper, Metcalf, White, Sanders, Reagor).

Reagor and Tua I'm using mostly as trade bait or keeper material. I don't see either having a large impact this year, but keeping Tua in the 13th next year and rolling the dice? Yeah sure why not.

I'm not huge on ARob, but he gets targets. He's more of a volume guy than anything.

Reagor is probably going to be more involved than you'd think. This is a pass first offense with a good QB that is very thin at WR behind D-Jax, who is injury prone to start with (obviously, Ertz and Goedert are going to their targets, too). If Reagor can get up to speed on the offense quickly, there is definitely an opportunity to have a big role. Jeffrey stinks and doesn't want to be in Philly anyway.

This draft was super early, forgot to post. Was held a week or so ago. Feeling decent about it, but never know how this season is going to go anyway.

10 Team I picked 3rd:
Roster - 2 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 FLEX (W/R/T), 1 DEF, 6 BN
Scoring - 1PPR, and 6PT passing TDS

QB - Ryan, Newton, Rivers
RB - Barkley, Mixon, Drake, Michel, Edmonds, Peterson
WR - Chark, Ju-Ju, Slayton, Landry, A. Miller
TE - Waller, Hooper
DST - SF

I know people like White in PPR, but it'll be interesting to see if he will put up fantasy worthy numbers. They have a loaded backfield and unless there is an injury, he's going to remain just a 3rd down back in an entirely different offense. Cam did well with CMC, so there's a chance he'll still see 5-6 catches, 40-50 yards a game with an occasional TD. No reports have come out about Miller's role in the offense and Harris isn't a rookie any longer which I imagine they'll rotate in more.

Michel, Burkhead, Miller, White, Harris. No thanks.

Who went #1 and #2?

Strong RBs and great handcuff with Drake + Edmonds. WRs have potential, but don't excite me much. Are we expecting a lot from Juju with Big Ben coming back?

Yup!

Yeah I got lucky at the 3 with Saquon. People over drafted QBs because of the 2QB setting and 6pt TDs. 1 and 2 were CMC and Mahomes. Lamar, Prescott and Watson all went 1st round lol. So I loaded up on RBs. And yes, I like Ju-Ju this year with Ben back. Ju-Ju was also injured off and on all year last year. He missed 4 complete games and then dealt with nagging stuff on and off. Playing with Duck and Rudolph lol, I'm expecting a bounce back year.

The Steelers pass offense with a healthy Ben will be a ton better no doubt, and Juju should be healthier/better in real football. In fantasy, Washington and Johnson have made big strides in their game and they brought in Ebron and Claypool as red zone targets, so Juju's fantasy upside may be capped by the number of options there are in the pass game this year. In his first two seasons, it was AB and anyone who could catch with Ben throwing 600 times. It's not quite like that any more.

Yeah I mean my WRs aren't full of WR1's but there is potential there especially with Chark. I'm okay with it right now considering the 3 RBs I'm able to start.

[Brosnbroccoli]

Dynasty league, got 1.03 and 1.06.

1.04 has good WR and thin on RB while 1.05 has Sutton.

I’m thinking of going Swift at 1.03 and Jeudy at 1.06.

What would you guys do? (Assuming CEH and Taylor goes 1.01, 1.02)

[ElBonemeister]

My first time in a 2 QB league with a keeper (and I kept Mahomes from the 9th round).

I have the #1 overall pick (RB)

Snake draft, so I will have the 20th and 21st picks.

Would you use either one of those to get the second QB, preferably someone like Dak, Watson or Wilson? These three are all projected to put up more points than available RBs or WRs at that point.

Is CMC a keeper too, or can you start your team with Mahomes/CMC and still have 20/21? That's a hell of a start. With Mahomes on board, I wouldn't spend either of those picks on a QB. Even if everyone in your league goes total potato and drafts 2 QBs before you get back at 40/41, you're still going to have some of the guys like Ben/Mayfield/A-Rod/Cam/Goff to choose from, who are perfectly fine for a QB2 in a 2 QB league.

Yeah CMC is a keeper so I will likely get Saquon with #1 overall.

early mock thoughts

-Lev Bell and David Johnson hang around. i find myself grabbing one or the other, or both, all the time. i know they're cheap for a reason but it's hard to say no at their price now.
-i love all the QBs this year. like at least 12-15 of them. with that in mind, and we all say this every year...wait at that position

-lots of assumptions that rookies are just completely taking jobs this year. kinda tricky to do that with lack of prep time and preseason. examples to be had dirt cheap - kerryon johnson, marlon mack. yes i know their teams drafted kids to take their jobs but considering they can be had for next to nothing i like grabbing somebody like that on the bench.

-favorite handcuffs so far are probably lat murray and chase edmonds.

[Tyler2106]

Since this forum is kinda dead and not as many MISC leagues starting, who do you like who will greatly outperform their ADP? Who do you think will be the biggest busts?

I think TY Hilton is going to put up WR1 numbers with Rivers. Devin Singletary will put up RB1.5 numbers. And going with Michael Thomas and Aaron Jones to be early round "busts." Busts as in they don't perform to their ADP.

first off it stinks that this forum has died, i used to use this as a resource quite a lot. whether it was sharing theories/ideas about waiver choices or getting some opinions from fans of other teams that might know something i don't.

outperform ADP:
Michael Gallup - big second half last year, CeeDee needs time to learn
Adam Theilen - always played huge with Diggs out. last year's injury is obviously why he's gone down rankings but i'll take the chance on him as a WR2 who can be play like a top guy in a 1/2 PPR
Aaron Jones - i just don't buy the rookie taking away his work. he was electric last year and he's being ranked after Chubb, Sanders, and Mixon. they won 13 games featuring the run. davante (hopefully) won't miss time so you still have to respect the air attack. love aaron

bust/disappoint:
Joe Mixon - i don't think their line or their team in general is good enough. he was a disaster the first 9-10 weeks of the season and you might have that again with a shaky line + rookie QB. i can't take him over guys like Aaron Jones, Drake, or even Ekeler.
Michael Thomas - only to the extent that he's being taken mid/late first and as the top dog WR and i doubt he does that. give me deandre a round later.

Did another draft last night. This is my IRL league. Picked 5th 10 team 1/2ppr 6pt passing tds. Qb, rb, rb, wr, wr, wr, flex, te, dst.

1. Kamara
2. Mixon
3. Drake
4. A Robinson
5. Obj
6. Chark
7. Sutton
8. Wentz
9. Rojo
10. Deebo
11. Daniel Jones
12. Gisecki
13. Michel
14. Gibson
15. Patriots

Pretty happy overall. I didn’t want to start 3 straight RBs but there were some really odd picks that left drake there in the 3rd I couldn’t pass up. I also would rather have not taken a QB in the 8th but people in this league hoard them cause of the 6pt tds.

drake at 3rd rd is fantastic to me, i've said above i would rank him over mixon frankly. odell that cheap is great too. i think wentz reminds everyone how good he is this year; even if he doesn't you'll always have options in a 10 man at QB.

did you go kamara over....king henry? and/or Dalvin?

Dalvin went at pick 4. Yes I took him over Henry. I know Henry is a beast but Kamara battled an ankle all year last year and still ended up with 1330 total yards in 14 games. I think he bounces back this year provided he stays healthy.

OBJ in the 5th seems like a steal. If that's where his ADP is, add him to my list of guys who will beat their ADP.

My thoughts too. I haven’t had a chance to grab him yet this year was glad he fell there. I am finding myself with a lot of shares of Chark and Mixon this year. I have Mixon on 3 teams. Chark on 2. I’ve been waiting on WR this year and haven’t really been getting that clear cut wr1 but hoping it pans out.

[cncman]

over/under tyreek hill or dalvin cook being hurt

not srs I hope they play a season

[weightsb4dates]

over/under tyreek hill or dalvin cook being hurt

yea. I like Calvin and if he was guaranteed 16 healthy weeks if pick him probably at 4.

[weightsb4dates]

First draft of the season boys.
10 team full ppr

im all in on will fuller this year.

i think drake might be a bust. not sure hes gonna hold up to 16 games and the backfield is deep.
