That's where I'm leaning. Unless the David Johnson owner would want to trade for the same deal, but that would be stupid on his part.

would you get to keep AB indefinitely? If so would he always cost you a first round pick?

No, this is the last year for this round of keepers. It resets next year to zero keepers.

But he'd have AB / Thomas AND the 28th pick, as opposed to Thomas, 13th and 28th pick. I think, depending on future availability of AB, the first offer looks pretty sweet.

This is the million dollar question. Whether you go through with this depends on that.

Wait, next year there are a new set of keepers across the board? Can you explain your keeper rules, because this seems confusing and I think I'm missing something.

First offer: I'd have Brown, Thomas, and pick #13. I'd be giving up picks #1 and #28.

Second offer: I'd have Brown, Thomas and pick #28. I'd be giving up pick #1.

In the first offer, I may still be able to snag DeMarco Murray at pick #13. Maybe not. In the second offer, my RBs start with Crowell/Lynch/Miller or whoever is left.

We go on a 2-1-0 cycle of keepers. Next year in 2018, there will be no keepers at all, so whoever you have on your team now does not matter next year. Everyone goes back into the pool.

In 2019, you will get to keep two keepers from your 2018 team. There are no round penalties. You just keep two players and start drafting at essentially round 3.

In 2020, you get to keep one keeper from your 2019 team. Still no penalties, you basically start at round 2.

In 2021, we wipe the slate clean again and every player is placed in the general pool again.

This year is like the year 2020 example above. So if I get Antonio Brown, I only get him this year. I can't keep him or anyone else next year.

I just traded Travis Kelce and my 2nd rounder next year for Gronk and a 4th rounder next year. It seems like an overpay but with my backs as lovely as they are I felt like I needed to go all in on pass catchers. This is my roster now, 12 team PPR 6pt pass TD.


QB- Drew Brees
RB- Rob Kelly (?)
RB- Jonathan Stewart (?)
WR- Antonio Brown
WR- Mike Evans
FLEX- Golden Tate
TE- Rob Gronkowski
D/ST- Philly

B- John Brown
B- Marquise Lee
B- Robby Anderson
B- Thomas Rawls
B- Jeremy Hill
B- James White
B- Deandre Washington
B- Shane Vereen

I put question marks after the backs because in reality I have no loving idea who I'm starting.

Your starting lineup is great, but you should not own two QBs or two TEs, and it cost you some better WR/RB depth. Like I'm highly skeptical that marquise lee is ever gonna be a guy you want to start, I assume you got him super late, but whenever you got dalton was probably earlier?

And I assume you want to slot Martin in after week 3, but Gillislee and Bernard as your RB2 options until then is fairly dire.

Then don't. He would still be WR4 after Cooks, Hogan, and Malcolm Mitchell.

Amendola is clearly only healthy when the pats need him in the playoffs, the rest of the season he's dead.

Lee was a last round pickup that I am 100% not attached to as he was the autopick suggestion. Here are the available RB's right now

Is Chris Hogan really gonna benefit from this? I thought he was an outside WR. Amendola also makes more senses to me, positionally wise.

Amendola isn't going to replace Edelman in the slot, but neither is Hogan. Cooks will and he is now definitely worth that late 2nd/early 3rd ADP. But you'll still see Hogan and Mitchell's target shares rise as well. While Hogan was previously a back end of the roster and unpredictable WR5, if Edelman just tore his ACL, then Hogan could be a WR3 with some serious weekly upside.

It's almost like a Brady offense can sustain multiple fantasy-relevant RBs or something. Crazy thought, I know.

Also Burkhead is hurt which is why he didn't play tonight.

As a fellow member of this draft I agree. Most of those values happened after I ran out of money. :saddowns:

Rate my team too! (0.5PPR, 2RB, 2WR, 1 FLX)

QB: Tom Brady ($20)
RB: LeSean McCoy ($62), Leonard Fournette ($26), Bilal Powell ($13), Terrance West ($3), Alvin Kamara ($1)
WR: Keenan Allen ($23), Larry Fitzgerald ($15), Emmanuel Sanders ($9), Pierre Garcon ($7), Jordan Matthews ($1)
TE: Travis Kelce ($18)
K: Dan Bailey ($1)
D: Pittsburg ($1)

Yeah this is a great team in that format.

Things I like:
Fournette for $26. Steal.
Kelce for $18. Steal
Pittsburg D is so good.

Things I dont like:
Larry Fitzgerald ($15), Emmanuel Sanders ($9), Pierre Garcon ($7)
(Would have prefered the $31 go to just one good/great WR)
RB depth is so-so.

Overall, you just need to do your upkeep on waiver wire RBs, and this team is a shoe in for the playoffs barring a streak of bad luck. B+ but like an 89/100

Just did an auction draft for a 0.5 PPR goon league, tell me what you think:

QB: Matt Ryan ($4)
RB: Todd Gurley ($34) Lamar Miller ($31) CJ Anderson ($14) Ameer Abdullah ($10) Marlon Mack ($2)
WR: Jordy Nelson ($46) Alshon Jeffrey ($14) Cameron Meredith ($2) Brandon Marshall ($12) Willie Snead ($7) Eric Decker ($4) Jeremy Maclin ($3)
TE: Hunter Henry ($1)


Now that I know the position slots and number of owners, I can weigh in.

Yeah, this team is solid.

Things I like:
- 4 starting RBs and a solid backup. A bit of luck and you shouldn't have to scramble until about mid-season.
- Matt Ryan was a steal.
- Hunter Henry is worth a buck, even if he doesn't pan out

Things I don't like:
- Question marks with every running back. This could break really well, or it could go very, very poorly.
- Why the poo poo do you have 7 WRs? I can't really argue with the skill and value of any of them, but why are there 7? That's gonna create a lineup headache puzzle every week. Seriously people, in auction, pick at most 1 backup WR then fill your entire bench with cheap RBs and RB lottery tickets.

In a 12 team league, with due diligence and a healthy bit of luck and you should coast into the playoffs

I give it a B. Like 83.5/100
