I think it's fair to say that Maclin's ceiling is not his first season on a new team, new offense, and new QB. I really can't see Moncrief's ceiling as the #2 option being much, if any higher than Maclin's as the #1 option. But yes there is a difference in ADP of about a round right which makes it closer. I don't think you can call this a mid-round pick, the 3rd-4th is still pretty early. I like solid starters at that ADP personally, ill go riskier in the 6th+.

Moncriefs ADP is 55th overall (fantasy pros standard) right now which puts him in the 5th round for 12 teams but I guess he would be 4th in a ppr.

I project him to be a 1100 and 10 td player this year if Luck makes it through the season.

Yah this is crazy. TY was still WR21 last year with the corpse of Hasselback and Freeman throwing to him for most of the season. Moncrief was WR39. I am genuinely curious why you expect Moncrief to supplant TY, especially since TY is only 26.

Nothing concrete really, just my own thinking off small sample of last season. Where in the games that Luck played, Moncrief only had like 10 less targets than Hilton, but he also had more TD's. I would think after the loss of Andre Johnson and Fleener, Moncrief would be the one to benefit more than a speedster like Hilton. I'm just thinking Moncrief may score more points than Hilton this year.


Though with Luck back, i'm high on both of them and would draft both if at the right spot.

Moncrief is currently being super hyped in the dynasty crowd, fwiw. It isn't unusual to see Moncrief drafted before Hilton, and while his age plays a role, people are expecting Moncrief to challenge Hilton as the top WR as early as this year. Common evidence used is Moncrief catching a TD and/or some yardage every game with Luck last year, and Harmon's reception perception piece on him.

Even 5th round you are still picking starters, where I tend to make safer picks. And yah I was looking at PPR ADP, which has Doug Baldwin going about the same time as Moncrief and I would rather have Baldwin every time. In PPR, he is going late 4th, early 5th and I don't see that dropping.

I think Moncrief will be good, but expecting him to have his first season over 1k yards and 4 more TD's than last year is expecting a bit too much from him.

So, I'm in a 12 man 0.3 PPR (yeah) league. 1 QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR Flex, 1 K, 1 DEF. I'm picking 11th out of 12 and it's THIS Sunday. I bought a subscription to Rotoviz and I'm really liking it so far. The place does preach a zero RB strategy and I've been getting behind that a lot in my other leagues (I pick 3rd and 4th in those). BUT], I've been messing around with their Draft Optimizer app and have had some interesting results.

It's actually recommending the opposite approach being at the end of the 1st round. Instead recommending going RB-RB-RB-RB or WR-RB-RB-RB. Once I got it to show RB-RB-WR-RB. And then picking a QB in the 5th. Usually, with the 11th pick, it recommends the likely combos of:

Option A
1st - Lamar Miller
2nd - Jamaal Charles
3rd - CJ Anderson
4th - Matt Forte
5th - Russell Wilson

Option B
1st - Jordy Nelson
2nd - Jamaal Charles
3rd - CJ Anderson/Dion Lewis
4th - Matt Forte
5th - Russell Wilson

Option C
1st - Lamar Miller
2nd - Jamaal Charles
3rd - Jeremy Maclin
4th - Matt Forte

The first option seems insane, because you can only start 3 RBs. So it's just hedging your RB bet. But...I dunno..

I've been planning on going WR heavy in most of my leagues in the first 3-4 rounds. But, with the very popular strategy of going zero RB that's gone mainstream this year (after the RBpocalypse of 2015 and the fact that top round RBs getting serious injuries is 30% higher than top round WRs)....it's setting up somebody in a lot of leagues to reap the benefits of everybody passing on RBs and reaching on some WRs.

Perhaps this is actually a viable strategy for those with super late draft picks?

WRs to target with this possible strategy:
Jarvis Landry (possible)
Jeremy Maclin
Donte Moncrief
Emmanuel Sanders
John Brown
Devante Parker
Tyler Lockett
Allen Hurns
Torrey Smith
Stefon Diggs
Devin Funchess
Rishard Matthews

First of all how many of those guys do you actually like or you have to have on your team. I like the 2nd option the most. Although Jordy and Charles is a bit risky considering their injury problems. How about Marshall and Charles?

I hope CJ can get back on track in Kubiaks zone system but I am staying away from him. If he gets hurt or sucks watch out for Devontae Booker.

Something like option B loss best to me.
Dez/Jordy
Jamaal Charles
Lewis/TY/Cobb

Wouldn't hurt to still nab Lockette, Bruce Ellington, Snead, Dorsett, or Coates late though for more WR upside. Getting wr value of the ww is way harder than getting rb, qb, or te mid season.

Yes, but I still think he gets the same if not more yardage next year. Even cutting his TD's to 6 (with upside) makes him worth a mid 5th right?

I doubt he can manage to match his yards again next year, but just for the sake of argument 1200 yards and 6 tds is roughly what Desean Jackson does every year when healthy and can be had in the 6th.

Green Gloves

David Johnson is a really talented back though. I watched a lot of his videos on draft breakdown before last season and was very impressed. Aside from a lack of history what is there to hate about Johnson's game?

I mean theres a lot of flaws going with Charles and Bell as well. Both are coming off injuries for instance.

I love Johnson Gurley but I like to minimize risk in the 1st so I am not taking them. I would gladly take an rb like Freeman end of 1st early 2nd and still get a top end WR. I also dont buy into Coleman. He lacks lateral agility and the vision that Freeman has. Hes no threat to Freemans job. Coleman being more involved probably is just 100 carries. Freeman is a complete back that can play on every down if needed.

I'd feel very comfortable with doing that, maybe even as high as 4? Behind Brown, OBJ, Gurley? I'm planning on spending up to 20-25% of my auction budget on him in leagues where I can this year, so whatever that translates to in Regular drafts.

In all fairness, I've been high on him since he came out of college, and championed him as a high rookie pick last year too, so there's that...

Edit: As far as reasons why: He's a beast, breaks big plays (although sometimes he dances a bit too much looking to break that play), has tremendous upper body strength (you're not arm-tackling him), excellent receiver out of the backfield and Arians does utilize his RB's in the passing game, and his only competition is an ancient Chris Johnson and a less talented, fragile Andre Ellington.

So I ended up with the 1st pick in my main league where I am the commissioner and defending champion. After doing a few mocks, I really don't like drafting from this position. The mocks probably aren't the best indicator but at some point, 12 Tight Ends were taken by the 9th round or something ludicrous.

Should I try to swap out for a mid pick? Thinking 4-7

Yeah I've actually kind have been liking the 3-4 spot. At 6/7 your 1st round pick always feels like a reach - AP, David Johnson, Dez, AJ Green etc.

But for fun, here's how my idea of a good draft at the 1 spot would hopefully go, assuming a 12-team ppr.

Rnd 1:
Antonio Brown

Rnd 2/3:
Ideal falls: Jamaal Charles, Jordy, Alshon.
Likely picks: Ingram/TY/Lacy/Demaryius.

Rnd 4/5:
Ideal falls: Dion Lewis, Maclin, ARodg
Likely Picks: Hyde, Woodhead, Larry Fitzgerald, Foster

Rnd 6/7:
Ideal falls: Ryan Mathews, Delanie Walker, Coby Fleener
Likely Picks: Tyler Lockett, Ameer Abdullah, Jeremy Hill, John Brown, Kevin White

Rnd 8/9:
Ideal Falls: Charles Sims
Likely Picks: Tevin Coleman, Willie Snead, Bilal Powell

Rnd 10/11:
Ideal Falls: Kamar Aiken, CJ Prosise, Tony Romo
Likely Picks: Sammie Coates, DeAndre Washington, Mohamed Sanu, Phillip Dorsett

Rnd 12/13:
Ideal Falls: Matt Ryan, Kenneth Dixon, Tyrod Taylor, Dwayne Allen
Likely Picks: McKinnon, Ebron, Bruce Ellington


Likely possible starters:
QB: Ryan/Tyrod/Winston
RB1: Ingram/Lacy
RB2: Hyde/Woodhead/Foster
WR1: Antonio Brown
WR2: TY/Demaryius
TE: Ebron

Bench: Something like Lockett/Abdullah/Coleman/Bilal/Coates/Sanu/Ellington

Dream Draft where everything falls right:
QB: ARodg
RB1: Jamaal
RB2: Dion Lewis
WR1: Antonio Brown
WR2: Alshon
TE: Coby Fleener

For how often you'd probably be missing out on QBs and TEs on the 1 spot, I'm not really sure how much I like either the likely RB2s or the likely WR2s unless you snare one of Lewis or Alshon.

Well, Hilton and DT at least have WR1 upside and WR2 floor. Hard to get a better WR2 than that. But agreed on that RB2 being shaky, and QB and TE uninspiring.

I honestly like the Johnson/Miller stack. Johnson was an absolute monster last year when he got the ball, an dis in no worse of an injury/timeshare position than Charles. And Miller has a real chance to shine now that hes out from under the awful Dolphins coaching staff (though teams are just going to stack the box probably).

That changes if Leveon doesn't get suspended. I'm also a Charles truther and love him in the second round.

As for DJ, I have him for a 13th so I think I have tremendous value on him :D In fact, I'd love to end up with DJ/JC as my RBs this year.
