Fantasy Football discussion 2021

I drafted 9th out of 12, full PPR. Not super stoked on my draft but also ot disappointed

QB- Dak
RB- A Jones, Sanders, Hunt, Drake, Moss
WR- Hill, AR15, Claypool, Boyd, Gallup, Green
TE-Higbee
DST- WFT
K- Prater

Green was my last pick, I might drop him for Hunter Henry

looks pretty good, i got a lot of sanders shares myself this season so i'm hoping he's serviceable

[Jayarbie]

In a 10 teamer I'd be happy with any of Ekeler, Gibson, Harris, Mixon, or CEH in the 2nd round.

I think Ekeler is going as an RB1 in most leagues. I got Harris in one league and Robinson in another.

[Jayarbie]

This is my money league draft this year: 12 team full PPR, 1 keeper, drafted 4th. Waller was me keeper (11th from 2019, last year didn't count). I'm pretty happy, but we'll see. There is a lot of uncertainty in my WRs, but I took a ton of them. Only 3 have to work out.

QB: Herbert, Wilson
RB: Kamara, Robinson, Edwards, Hyde, Johnson (NYJ)
WR: Jefferson, Smith (PHI), Moore (NYJ), Moore (ARI), Thomas, Chark, Samuel
TE: Waller, Kmet
DST: Buff
K: Need to add one

Possibility he will be a great fantasy RB? I got Gibson and Lawrence already. But due to hesitating to pick a WR it auto picked Sanders. Been thinking of doing a trade to somebody Rodgers+Sanders. Already have K. Murray as QB.


Can't wait for the *******s at work get their chit together and start the fantasy. Wanna post that team and I feel that will be the most fun out of the leagues i'm at

[WHChampion]

I think he's being underrated. Feels like a steal to get him in the 4th if you couldn't go RB/RB to start.

[rocketfish]

QB: Patrick Mahomes

WR: Calvin Ridley, Adam Thielen, Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Will Fuller V

RB: Derrick Henry, David Montgomery, Chase Edmonds, Kenyan Drake

TE: Robert Tonyan, Rob Gronkowski

K: Jason Sanders

DEF: San Francisco


draft from my main money league, got the #3 overall pick

[Murph0408]

Michael Pittman worth keeping an eye on with the TY Hilton injury. I liked how he looked last year, big guy, young and hungry and now has wentz throwing to him. god knows what wentz will do this year but i wouldn't be mad grabbing Pittman just to see how it turns out as my WR4/5

[hardestgainer]

I think hes a good gamble for value in the 4th round, Kyler and Swift got taken right in front of me but Sanders vs Henderson was a no brainer imo

Also someone dropped Waddle and I was able to claim him on waivers, dropped AJ Green. Feel even better about the team now

[DeputyDong5]

had the first pick in an 8 man PPR. We took out Def and K and added two more flexes.

CMC first... and somehow Kelce and Saquon were there for my second and third picks. It is a paid league but I'd say 3-4 of the guys follow their team but that's about it.

Kyler
Julio
Higgins
CMC
Barkeley
Kelce
Carson
CeeDee Lamb
Diontae

bench: Fant, Sutton, Chark, Gus Edwards, Mecole Hardman, Waddle

[bullybreed]

Had my main IRL draft. Been running this league for 14 years now. Picked 6th in a 10 team 1/2 PPR. 6 pt passing tds other than that settings normal. Pretty happy with this team.

Qb - Brady, Hurts
Rb - Jones, Gibson, Sanders, Mostert, J Williams
Wr - Ridley, Cooper, Sutton, C. Davis, A. Brown, Callaway
Te - Andrews,
DST - Steelers

[Miscbob]

I got pick 9 in a 10 man league standard scoring...



So I miss out on the elite RBs and the A+ RBs.

I'm scared ****less of Barkely, whos left? Jonathon ****ing Taylor... smh

In a 10 teamer I'd be happy with any of Ekeler, Gibson, Harris, Mixon, or CEH in the 2nd round.

I just don't know with Ekeler, obviously, he's capable though. Harris has the opportunity but the elite ability is a question mark. Don't Bengals love a committee? Will CEH get any goaline work with all their other options?
Anyway, at the same pick I can get a sure thing at WR - Maybe it's time to draft a QB a touch earlier this year.

[Miscbob]

QB: Patrick Mahomes

WR: Calvin Ridley, Adam Thielen, Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Will Fuller V

RB: Derrick Henry, David Montgomery, Chase Edmonds, Kenyan Drake

TE: Robert Tonyan, Rob Gronkowski

Farking juicy brah

With Mahomes, Henry and Ridely you have the chance to blow people off the park. Wait how tf did you get them all - keeper league?

I'm super bullish on Ridley this year, I won't blink if he finishes no1 WR.

Henry just has to stay healthy and he's money. Monty is going to be as good as anyone elses RB2 this year.

Mixon's primary backup and touch stealer was traded.

CEH has a better line this year and is in the best offense in the league. He'll get plenty of opportunities.

Harris could bust but he looks elite and is given immediate bellcow work so I think he's worth the risk.

Don't overthink it with Ekeler, especially if you're in any kind of PPR. He's elite and maybe the safest floor outside of CMC srs. Just doesn't really get GL carries.

[waias15]

got the 10 spot in both of my leagues. my first draft went as follows:

Rodgers
A Jones, J Robinson, RoJo, Hines, James White
Diggs, Lamb, Diontae Johnson, Corey Davis, Will Fuller, Pittman Jr
Hockenson

now in my mocks a lot of times I'm faced with picking a lot of the same guys in earlier rounds. Does it scare any of you off to have multiple teams with several of the same early round guys?

[hardestgainer]

Justice Hill tore his achilles today, out for the season and the Ravens just brought in Bell and Freeman for workouts.

What's the opinion on Vac and Unvacced players for Fantasy? I'm trying hard to focus on vaccinated players. I'm a Vikes fan and will not draft Thielen or Cook just because of that. I'll be googling their vac status before drafting them. The below rules could really derail your season.

"Take for example, if a player this season tests positive for COVID-19 on a Thursday, but they are asymptomatic. If the player is vaccinated, then there’s still a chance that they could play in their team’s game if it’s scheduled for the following Sunday or Monday if they are able to produce a negative test on Friday and Saturday.

If an unvaccinated player is in the same scenario, not only would they have to miss their team’s game on Sunday or Monday, but they could be forced to sit out the team’s next game as well if the contest is set to take place on the Sunday of the week after their first missed game. Unvaccinated players are required to quarantine for at least 10 days after a positive test, whether they are asymptomatic or not."

Kinda retarded since vaccination doesn't stop spreading. They'll miss games until they test negative anyways.

Doesn't change how I'm drafting anyways. Outside of a few who said one way or the other you'll never know if they're vaccinated until they get told they have to miss a game or 2. Most of the players who are vaccinated are likely 4th and 5th stringers who did it to avoid being cut. Stars know they won't be cut.

Bell signed, I want to be hyped about Bel being on the Ravens run heavy offense but his stint in KC was super disappointing.

I think a lot of people have gotten burnt out on sports over the past couple years with all the political wokeness and then the COVID crap. I know I have.

[TyGuy505]

QB - Dak
RB - Gibson, Javonte Williams, Ronald Jones, Connor, Michel, Tyson Williams
WR - Adams, Cooper, Woods, AB, Thomas
TE - Ertz
DST - Pats
K - Sanders

Bell signed to the practice squad. He should be activated eventually, but he's still miles from fantasy relevance.

Wrapped up my last two fantasy drafts of the year on Monday & Tuesday.  

League 1 is a 12-Team PPR League, I was able to keep Jefferson in the 9th from last year.  Players with Asterisks are my starters

QB: Jalen Hurts*, Tua
RB: Joe Mixon*, Chase Edmonds*, Ronald Jones II, James White, Devontae Booker, Ty Johnson
WR: Davante Adams*, Allen Robinson*, D.J. Moore*, Justin Jefferson* (FLEX), Terrace Marshall Jr
TE: Jonnu Smith
K: Blankenship
DEF: Cleveland

I'm actually really digging this team, my WR Corps is super strong and I think that will hide my weaknesses at RB.  If Jalen Hurts does what people think he can do, I'm hoping for a top-8 QB performance, and if not, guys like Mayfield, Fitzmagic, Darnold, Wentz, and Bridgewater are on the waiver wire to do a QB by committee approach.


League 2 is a goofy 12-team work league.  Standard Scoring, no PPR, and a shallow bench to keep players rotating through the FA pool when people are forced to drop decent players to cover for bye week.  Again, starters are asterisk'd. I was pick 12.

QB: Lamar Jackson*
RB: Antonia Gibson*, Najee Harris* (FLEX), Mike Davis
WR: Amari Cooper*, Chase Claypool*, Ja'Marr Chase, Devonta Smith
TE: Noah Fant*
K: Jason Sanders
DEF: Cleveland

This team is either going to Boom big time, or it's going to Bust big time, so I'm hoping for the Boom.  The oldest guy on the team is Cooper, and I went with a "Fountain of Youth" approach to play on ceilings instead of floors. Not crazy about it, but it should be a fun ride.  Plus with shallow benches, it's pretty easy to find some steals on the waiver wire from week to week.

[BearyManilowe]

Bell signed, I want to be hyped about Bel being on the Ravens run heavy offense but his stint in KC was super disappointing.

Bell doesn't really mesh with the Ravens one-cut style. If anything he'll maybe nab some PPR looks late in the year, but I wouldn't bank on him doing much of anything else in this system.

And again, even for receptions, Lamar generally runs before he throws the check down, so receptions are few and far between.

[Berts]

I had my draft last night. Its a super flex standard league. We eliminated the kicker for a extra flex. 10 Teams. My strategy last year was to stream QB's weekly so I did not focus on QB's. I took 2nd that way and had a great year. My thinking is besides the top 5, maybe 10 QB's, they are basically the same and I play the matchups. Anyway, this is my team for now. I drop and add a ton of people, its free, no cap. I usually stream a ton on the D for matchups as well.

QB, Big Ben, Hurts and Menshew
RB, J Robinson, Antonio Gibson, Clyde Edwards
WR, J Jefferson, Chris Goodwin, Courtland Suttun, Brandon Cooks, Jarvis Laundry, Henry Ruggs III
TE, Kelce
D, Patiots
