I haven't played FF in a few years, can someone give me some draft strategy tips for these settings?

QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R, K, DEF, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR




Those points per completion and only -1 per interception make it seem like a top tier QB could be worthwhile. Drew Brees might be a first rounder with those settings. When figuring out QB, target volume passers

Here's my draft: .5ppr, 1 qb, 1rb, 1 wr, 1 te, 3 wr/te/rb flex, 1 k, 1 dst. 10 Team league. I'm the 6th team (McCoy 1st round)



How'd I do?

Not to mention that he was on the verge of emerging as an elite wr before he really tore up his knee and never looked the same until last year. At only age 28(I think) he still has wr1 potential in his range of outcomes.

Snake draft is like playing crazy 8s, auction is like playing poker. Just so much more subtle strategy and knowing how to read the room. Adds a whole extra element to it. After doing one auction, I never had the desire to do a snake draft again

I can understand the arguments against Britt. There are more playmakers on this Browns team than he had to contend with on the Rams; he's playing opposite a 1st round pick and the Browns are much better at running the ball. His numbers could easily dip and I feel like there's not a big gulf between where he is now and him becoming a fungible WR3/4 type. Like he settles in as a solid contributor at real football for the Browns but he's more of a replacement-level player in fantasy. He's going so late though it's hard to poo poo on him and he's still a solid player.

That's just the point though, you can't poo poo on him at his ADP, which is somewhere at round 10+.

I might be a Rutgers homer but there was a reason I was super hyped on Britt and not Nicks coming out of college. He's hitting the prime of his life right now as a 6'3 WR who can run full speed into a jump ball situation better than most guys his size.

How did I do? Felt like it was crazy Shady and Gordon slipped to me! The beer set in with the Brady pick, but they added an extra 5 pts for 500 yard passing games and it made me reach. Had only I known I could have had Mariota that late.

Must've been really buzzed or something because 5 pts for 500 yards passing bonus is p much moot.


But overall it's a p strong team, especially if Luck is good to go.

Sorry, extra 3 points at 350 yards, extra 5 points at 400 yards, extra 8 point at 500 yards passing

I would have went Lynch instead of Brady, but I justified that Lynch and Ingram are the same

It also threw me off cause this league is usually REALLY aggresive with QB even in the 1st round

:siren: Rate My Draft :siren:

10 team, 0.5 ppr, standard scoring
1QB/2RB/3WR/1FLEX/1TE/K/Defense/Defensive Player/Dback

I kept Antonio Brown in the 3rd, and Jordy Nelson in the 15th.

QB- Aaron Rodgers
WR- Antonio Brown
WR- Jordy Nelson
WR- TY Hilton
RB- Spencer Ware
RB- Joe Mixon
TE- Greg Olsen
FLEX- Willie Snead
B-Tevin Coleman
B-CJ Anderson
B- Brandon Marshall
B- Mike Gillislee
B- Duke Johnson
B- Gio Bernard
B- Thomas Rawls
B- Robby Anderson
B- Rex Burkhead
Defensive Player- Luke Kuechly

All the good running backs were kept, so I went zero RB. I have to drop 3 guys for a Kicker, Defense, and Dback, but I think my WR/QB/TE is strong enough to carry my weak RB corps. I'm gonna try to work a trade for Hunt so I own him and Ware.

Thoughts?

Loving your WRs, but RB needs a lot of work and praying. In a PPR league, its better because Duke, Gio, and Burkhead have value. Maybe Fat Eddie will suck and Rawls takes back over.

Buffalo is the closest city with an NFL team so I kind of feel obligated to root for the Bills, but it's just so hard. Every year I change the super bowl # in my fantasy team name 'BUFFALO BILLS SB 52 CHAMPS' in the hopes that this will be the year but the joke isn't really funny anymore. My lone solace is that at least I'm not a Jets fan.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

i think i just did an auction draft with coma patients. (10 teams, $200 budget)

QB: Russel Wilson ($8)
WR: Allen Robinson ($17)
WR: Michael Crabtree ($16)
WR: Martavis Bryant ($10)
RB: David Johnson ($75)
RB: Demarco Murray ($41)
TE: Tyler Eifert ($11)
DEF: Minnesota ($1)
K: Mason Crosby ($1)

QB: Phillip Rivers ($1)
WR: Emmanuel Sanders ($5)
WR: Pierre Garcon ($3)
RB: Bilal Powell ($5)
RB: Mark Ingram ($5)
TE: Zach Ertz ($1)

I started out thinking I wouldn't' get any good receivers and then Robinson and Crabtree fell into my lap back to back and then man how the gently caress did I get Ertz for a dollar?

edit: three guys ended the draft with $12, $20, and $27 dollars each, and another guy dropped to only being able to bid $1 after just 5 roster slots. despite all of those facts, someone spent $6 on Justin Tucker.

QB: Andrew Luck
RB: Todd Gurley, Theo Riddick, Thomas Rawls, James White, DeAndre Washington, CJ Prosise
WR: Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders, John Brown
TE: Travis Kelce

Would you burn the #4 preseason waiver pick to drop your DST for Rex Burkhead? What about any of these other players:

RB: Chris Thompson, Charles Sims, Shane Vereen, Dion Lewis, D'Onta Foreman, James Connor, Alfred Morris, Jonathan Williams
WR: John Ross, Kevin White, Robert Woods, Breshad Perriman, Mohamed Sanu, Torrey Smith, Devin Funchess, JJ Nelson, Nelson Agholor

Alternatively I could wait until Tuesday in the hopes that nobody puts in a waiver claim for Burkhead. Thoughts?

Team looks good. Hopefully Gurley can bounce back and you get lucky with Rawls or DeAndre Washington starting. I wouldn't burn a waiver on any of those players. I'd wait for a bigger fish.
