Hoping big production from Kyren Williams this year with a full 17 games.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Jefferson in the 1st scares me. As amazing as he is, nobody throwing him the ball.

If it was just a 1 year league, I'd probably take Tyreek or CMC. Since it's dynasty I have to figure they get someone to throw him the ball asap

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Had my family draft last night as a good warm up for the big money draft later this week. For better or worse, I feel like almost 90% of my team is made up of 4th-6th round projections (outside of Hill in the 1st). Montgomery, Achane, Nabers, Engram, Javante Williams...

Hoping big production from Kyren Williams this year with a full 17 games.

1. Saquon Barkley
2. Kyren Williams
3. Davante Adams
4. Travis Etienne Jr.
5. Mike Evans
6. Sam LaPorta
7. Rachaad White
8. Michael Pittman Jr.
9. Joe Burrow
10. Zamir White
11. D'Andre Swift
12. Tony Pollard

Who you don't draft may be more important than who you do. Every year I pick 12 guys I think will disappoint and exclude them from my rankings. That's my list this year.

I take back what I said about Williams. He's now going to be returning kicks. Rumors are that McVay loves their 3rd round pick, Blake Corum. Grimm with a good call.

 

[noncents]

why will Zamora white disappoint? general LV fade? or prefer another RB

 

[bleedblue1223]

Bijan or Breece?

Bijan but it's quite the dilemma.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Doesn't catch passes, LV offense looks like shit so he won't score a ton of touchdowns. If he loses any of the base work he's basically a 0. He may not suck but he will never be great either.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

At 4, I'm likely going to need to pick between Lamb and Hill. Not sure yet....

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

My league will be drafting Wed. night (cutting it close eh?). I still believe I'll be picking either 1 or 2. I may have to go double hero RB and just grab a ton of receivers on the flipside.

Quite the dilemma here. I will try my best to retain Jalen Hurts for a third year in a row, possibly getting a stack with Brown if I'm lucky but who knows.

I think I may try and grab Jayden Daniels with one of my later picks if nothing is attractive enough out there. His name has been popping up more and more as a potential sleeper pick with a ton of upside..

At 4, I'm likely going to need to pick between Lamb and Hill. Not sure yet....

Quite the toss-up. My cowboys fandom aside, I think Hill edges him. He is so dynamic.

The hell?? Is that a 6-team league?

10, standard PPR

Half the teams were auto'd and I think only two other people in it actually follow football in any capacity

Crazy. Most picks are pretty well tee'd up for everyone.

I do miss the days where you had to do your own research adn search a player's name among a giant list to draft

Quite the toss-up. My cowboys fandom aside, I think Hill edges him. He is so dynamic.

Tough call. Miami has the better offense, but CeeDee has gotten better in each of his 4 years so far...

It's funny. I've been trying to get any fantasy advice from ESPN all the way down to some random joe shmoe on youtube. Some say to avoid Mostert due to Achane, Montgomery due to Gibbs, and AVOID the likes of Henry, Ekler and Barkley due to age!

I had Mongomery last year. Gibbs is definitely the better back and will see more touches, but Mongomery will get all the goal line runs.

If (and it's a HUGE if) Achane can stay healthy, I'm thinking he'll get the most downs.

Ekler may be a good pick because he'll likely not get drafted before the 8th or 9th round.

Wasn't super jazzed about Gibbs in R2 but Montgomery was still there in R7 so snagging both made a lot of sense.

Mostert fell to R9 and was a no-brainer there.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Jefferson in the 1st scares me. As amazing as he is, nobody throwing him the ball.

He's pretty much QB proof. I'd still be comfortable picking him as WR2 and as high as 4th overall.

Here's what he did with Nick Mullens last year in Weeks 14-17 after returning from injury:

7/84
6/141/1
5/59 (Jaren Hall started this game, Mullens relieved in 3Q)
12/192/1

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

I had my 16 team draft the other night. 16th pick of course. Don't think I wound up with a bad team. Thankfully guys love grabbing QBs early and often in this league. Standard scoring. QB, 1 RB, 1 WR/TE, 2 Flex.

QB: Daniels, Herbert
RB: Gibbs, Kamara, Elliott
WR: Nucua, Waddle, Pittman, Sutton, Addison
K: Bates
DST: Chargers

I had Monty and Mostert both on my squad last season. I was happy with both their output.

I feel like the quality of WRs drop significantly after the first 2-3 rounds though. You can still get decent/good backs in the later rounds but I would rather have a Devonte Adams/Jalen Waddle (as inconsistent as they are) over a Jerry Jeudy/Jakobi Meyers/JSN.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Two 12 team drafts yesterday - went RB 1-2 in one (drafting 4) and WR 1-2 in other (drafting 5). Wasn’t the plan, just how it fell and the decisions I made in response.

Burrow/Stafford
Hall/Etienne
Collins /Devonta Smith/J Reed
Pitts
Hopkins
Pittsburgh
Robinson Jr/Jameson Williams/Dobbins/Friermuth/Chandler/Q Johnston/Shipley

Burrow/Daniels
Cook/Montgomery
Lamb/Nacua/Flowers
Aubrey
IDPs
Pickens/J Reed/Ford/Odunze/Chandler

Interesting that Burrow was not one of the 2-3 QB I was targeting. Also Reed and Chandler in both leagues.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Draft last night. 1/2 PPR money league. Picked 4th:

Super happy with RB: Hall, Etienne, Cook
Happy with QB: Richardson
Average TE: Kincade
Meh WR: London, Adams, McLaurin

Your team is pretty good. I wouldnt say Kincaid is average he’s projected as a top 5 TE this season on most lists I’ve seen.

In an 8 team Yahoo league I banned 16 players from my draft list before the draft and received an A+ draft grade.

Hard for me to totally gauge within an 8-team league, but that team is stout
