Nobody drafted Tyreek Hill in the fifth last year. At least, I hope nobody did.

Nah I told him ahead of time it would probably clock in closer to 1,000 because it was a preview of five players on an office that is going to dramatically shift focus in 2017. He said that 500 was what was expected, 1,000 was fine but I wouldn't get extra. I'm not sure.

History tells me I'm getting like half of what he said I would or nothing at all. This dumb business promises so much and delivers so little.

They loved the piece. He wanted to chat to know if I was interested in doing more for them every few weeks throughout the season if the budget allows it. The delay was because he was trying to see if he could get me more often than that but theres not a budget for it.

We'd like to reiterate that you have zero actual responsibility for the accuracy of your predictions, and furthermore most likely nobody will even remember all the ones you got wrong, so you can pretty much just bullshit anything you want and when you luckily get a few things right, you can boast about it in print and take all kinds of credit and call yourself a Fantasy Football Guru. And yes as I was saying, we'd like to pay you real actual American cold hard dollars for that... that is, if you would be OK with it?" <wrings hands worredly>

Dion Lewis looks sharp (aside from a dumb drop). Routinely gaining more than he should. But playing this much this late feels like an audition. It's a bizarre situation: he's the most complete back on the roster but appears to be fighting for RB5 because he isn't the best at anything. Team of specialists.

Also don't take Gostkowski in the 11th or whatever was trendy last year.

I think Carr or Graham are solid keeper choices from a value standpoint. Gun to my head, I probably keep Graham. You can get a QB late, but top five TE in the 8th makes life easier.


Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

Graham. I debated Ware as well. 4For4's rushing expectation series is very high on him.


pubic works project posted:

I think Ware. Now you can go for WR/BPA in the 2nd round since you have a stud in Bell and a solid RB/Flex in Ware.

I ended up going Graham. I didn't want to gamble a 5th on Ware and his backup looming. Would rather gamble an 8th on Graham.

Appreciate all the help.

It was a very strange feeling as a Pats fan last year to watch Gostkowski.

That missed PAT in the SB was just brutal, and kind of a microcosm of the season for him. I really hope he turns it around. So strange to lose it so suddenly.

I had bought 4for4's hype on Ware, but I am getting worried that Hunt will get more volume than West did last year. I keep waiting for a bump down in their rankings but it hasn't come yet.

Unless him getting a suspension makes him more likely to in the future, he really shouldn't fall even that far. Beckham and Evans sure, Bell and DJ arguably if you like them more than Zeke, but then who else? Brown, Julio, Cooper? I still take Zeke over them.

There was an article at Rotoviz that looked at careers of suspended players, and based on the study, if a player is suspended, they is a 50% chance they never step foot on the field again. I need to find that link.

WR- Jones (1), T.Hill (5), Tate (6), Adams (8), Benjamin (9)

It looks alright. Good shot at making the playoffs but not a lock. In 10-team non-ppr I probably would have grabbed a QB over Gilly/Adams. Starting RBs are fine but I'm not crazy about the bench - you probably would have been better served taking one bye-week floor guy (Duke/Woodhead/West etc) and one upside guy rather than spreading the risk between two guys in muddy committee situations. The QB situation also isn't ideal for 10-team. That could be a good platoon but keeping both for the entire season really eats into your bench during the bye week gauntlet (10-team makes the waiver wire really important, but you're locked into carrying 2 QBs). Drop Witten and get an upside RB. But ultimately, I love the first 3 rounds and that makes up for a lot of minor inefficiencies in roster construction from the mid rounds.

There was one person in the draft that grabbed Brady, Rodgers, and Brees as 3 of their first 4 picks so that kind of screwed me on QBs.

It's both too late and might just be me, but I really don't like taking backup QBs and TEs when there are upside WRs and RBs that could be snatched up towards the end of the draft. It's also hard to believe that Boswell was the best kicker available in a 10 team league. I think AP is over-costed right now and don't have much faith in Devante Adams, so those are picks I would have changed. Other than that, I like all the players you picked. I do think that Gillislee tends to be over-costed as well, but at least he has good upside.
