Hooray no kickers!

Also I wonder how much the Joe Williams hype narrative will push up his ADP. Offers real nice upside in the 12th but has already been talked up by fantasy twitter so I worry that could rise to a more unreasonable level later in the summer. I'm sure Shanahan will find ways to use him even if Hyde is healthy but I'd probably bet against Williams being ready for feature back duties in 2017 so I don't think he overtakes a healthy Hyde. It's a good thing Hyde is one of the more injury prone backs in the league though.

13.06 #151 Matt Forte

Supposedly Bilal Powell is taking over as starter, but I suspect it'll still be a timeshare and Forte still has enough gas in the tank to contribute.Good enough for a thirteenth round pick!

13th round Marlon Mack

Frank Gore is 34 after all, and Robert Turben is just a dude. I'll be targeting Mack hard in the late round of real drafts.

I've been waffling about Jeremy Maclin for a while so I'm glad someone finally took him before my next pick so we can talk about him.

Is he gonna just be overshadowed by Kelce and Hill now, or bounce back? Will Mahomes target him more or less than Smith? How does Chris Conley fit into the mix?

No reason to think Mahomes sees the field unless Alex is injured or his play falls off a cliff.

I am very sad that someone picked Jonathan Williams. First time I've felt sniped this whole time.

I think Maclin is way undervalued. One bad year in a player who has been consistent throughout his career deserves the benefit of the doubt.

If I hadn't grabbed so many receivers early, I probably would have taken him much earlier.

This is my favorite type of value pick, because it pays off so regularly. Even when it doesn't become a home run, it still is frequently great draft positional value.

I had Marlon Mack ahead of him and I gave strong consideration to Williams, but McDermott feels like he is going to completely torpedo the Bills. I think there is a strong chance that he goes full Josh McDaniels there.

Has that dictator bullshit even worked in the last ten years? I don't include Bellichek, because Bill plays it cool when he does it.

13.10 Sam Bradford
Pickings for QB2 are looking real slim so I decided to just grab the best QB on the board. Then I got concerned that Brian Hoyer might be injured by Week 5 so I grabbed Sam Bradford instead. Whatever Matt Ryan will just put up Top 5 numbers every week.

14.03 Curtis Samuel
The dual-threat rookie joins an offense, and specifically a group of receivers, that underwhelmed last year and lost Ted Ginn (52/754/4 last year) in the offseason. I think Cam bounces back but I'm still underwhelmed by the veteran receivers so I do think Samuel will carve out a meaningful role as a rookie. The offense needs playmakers and he's definitely a playmaker. Over 1600 yards from scrimmage with 15 TDs in college last year and ran a 4.31 forty. He's supposed to play a lot of slot where they'll depend on his ability to create plays after the catch and they can also get the ball in his hands on jet sweeps/end arounds or even line him up in the backfield. And with 4.31 speed, I think he'll be used on deeper passes that Ginn would run. Panthers took him 40th overall so they're definitely high on his potential. And while I hate to be all "He's 2017's version of Tyreek Hill!" he checks a lot of those boxes for me and you don't need to match Hill's ridiculous TD rate to be valuable.

TE1 for a high powered Dallas offense? Sure, he's old. Really old. But he's still the guy, and that means probably a safe floor dude.

13.08 - John Ross

If he ends up being in a DeSean Jackson role then he'll be a great boom/bust player.

14.05 - Quincy Enunwa

All that stands between him and being the number one wideout on the Jets is Eric Decker's health. Sure it's the Jets, but that's a lot of garbage time.

15.06 #174 Kenny Stills

I'm pretty happy to get Kenny Stills in the fifteenth round! He had 726 yards and nine touchdowns last year, and he remains at #2 on Miami's depth chart, a team which loves to pass the ball. Miami just signed him to a new four-year contract, showing they believe in him and will continue to make him a big part of their offense. Stills has a potentially high score any given week and for my WR5 I couldn't ask for more.

15.04 Houston Def

I forgot there are no kickers, so I was planning on starting with defenses by round 17. Since my top defense was on the board, I figured it was worth a two round reach. It wasnt worth the four round reach, though

Denver defense! Still quite talented, although the increase in talent of the other 3 teams in their division is the cause of a little concern.

15.10 Chris Thompson
Even in half-PPR, I ought to be able to steal a few top 24 weeks with Thompson. I would be less enthused about him in redraft leagues as he's largely a passing down specialist but they'll use him on some key plays and in the red zone. More likely to make appearances in DFS lineups than my season-long teams but I think there's solid value to this pick.

16.03 Robert Woods
He's already getting talked up as a breakout player. I'm not sure I buy it as he's probably miscast as a #1 for the Rams but lots of opportunity there with him potentially seeing as many as 100-120 targets. Jared Goff looked like a dude who wasn't ready for the major leagues last year and I don't know if he will be in this upcoming season so that's the big X factor here but this early in the process, I like to gamble on upside. Figure I'll have a better feel for this situation later in the summer.

17.06 #198 Mohamed Sanu

Potentially the #2 WR in Atlanta is still on the board? OK, sure, he's competing for that spot, but sometimes Julio Jones isn't the target, and Sanu is a proven commodity. For my WR5 this seems like a great option.

I already have Julio Jones, too, so this is also something of a handcuff.

Finally, recent news regarding Mike Williams' lingering injury tells me I really needed a reliable WR5 going into the fall, so I decided to avoid rookies with this pick.

This format makes him palatable. There will be weeks when he is my TE1. There will not be more than 4 of these weeks. They will be impossible to predict. And, most certainly, none of them will come back to back.
