My draft in 1PPR. I've never really been happy after a draft and this one is no different. 12 team and this is my "big money" league which I won last year (1st is $1440 IIRC).



Yeah I know it's on 1 RB slot, but that's your big weakness. Better hope Fat Eddie gets fat and hurt.

Drunk Nerds posted:

Haha, you actually listed # of teams, too. I got you mixed up with that other guy in your league.


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

Thanks! I really appreciate the response. I'm glad you're happy with the Fournette pick, I'm feeling some regrets because of his foot/ankle situation even though I know it was good value (I trust my projection sources). Helps reassure me. Hopefully, he stays healthy. As to the WR situation, I singled those three out because I'm actually really high on those three guys. They're all going to be high target players that can start for me if needed. I wanted a bit of depth padding behind Allen because even though I love his talent, I don't trust him to stay healthy.

Yeah, that makes sense. Funny I didnt see that, I guess I have turned a blind eye towards Allen's injury risk, which will bite me back if I continue to ignore it

It's really Burkhead that's ruining all of this.

Your team must've been complete crap if James White was your golden child last year in fantasy.

If anything his fantasy stats last year are pretty much :patriotsRB:


In 1 PPR leagues he scored over 10 points about 6 times, under 5 points 4 times, and the rest were between those 2.

And that's in full PPR leagues. He was at best a boom or bust flex option last season and most likely the same if not worse this year.

Yeah, this is a mystery I want to solve. Here's my theories:

- He couldn't have meant James White. Dude scored so underwhelmingly in 2016. Maybe he meant... I can't think of a great fantasy performer with the first name James nor the last name White. So this isn't it.

- Maybe he meant James White 2015? That's my current leading suspicion.

Ok, so take something like FBG projections for your players, plug them into a spreadsheet that will spit out projected points based on ppr, then move players based on how you feel they'll perform. It'll take a bit but don't be a baby. Then change the scoring from PPR to not, look at the projected points based on projected yardage and see if your own opinions are drastically affected by that, adjust, and be a big rear end man with big fantasy biceps.

I have my first of three drafts tomorrow. Everyone has to keep two players, with the rounds they were drafted being irrelevant. 12 team, 0 PPR, 6 per passing TD, everything else is standard. By default I had to keep Lamar Miller and Drew Brees. I will be picking at 11 and then 14 on the turn. The next 20 players on the appropriate Beer Sheet are as follows:

1) Bell
2) Brady
3) OBJ
4) AJ Green
5) Fournette
6) Lynch
7) Dez
8) Kelce
9) TY
10) Cook
11) Hyde
12) Matt Ryan
13) Reed
14) Baldwin
15) Ware (maybe RIP)
16) McCaffrey
17) Ingram
18) Graham
19) Mixon
20) Montgomery

My league drafts on Yahoo, and we definitely have an "unconventional drafter" or two. I guess best case scenario would be one of Hyde/Cook and then Baldwin/McCaffrey on the turn?

If you have utter trash on your bench then sure, but there's plenty of veteran presence ahead of him and Rawls was listed as the starter.

One of my moves was dropping my kicker to grab Tarik Cohen. (Except I somehow got Chris Hogan with the 11th waiver priority)

Carson is a solid flier for the end of your bench, as he has looked very good in the preseason so far. He's shown to be a solid pass catcher, and a physical runner - and successful on the goal line.

Yeah, he's a bit down on the depth chart, but Rawls and Prosise cannot seem to stay healthy, and who knows if Lacy is going to do anything - he has been uninspiring so far this preseason.

Evan Silva has him ranked in the DeAndre Washington/DukeJ/JStew tier FWIW

If Ware is dead, he should probably be drafted where Ware was being drafted. Maybe even higher, because Ware's ADP factored losing carries to Hunt.

Just got sent trade request from a person in my 12 man .5 ppr league

Give - C. Hogan (picked him up 30s after Edeleman's knee exploded)
Receive - K. Stills

Person proposing the trade has/had both Edelman and Ware so that sucks.

Not much either way but wanted to post it here to see if I was missing something since I was leaning towards rejecting it.

Those are tough. A 12-team league I used to be in drafted in person last week, with two of the guys on the phone. They get halfway through the draft and someone asks Jon, "You still there? Why aren't you bidding on anybody?" Jon replies that he doesn't have much money after blowing $78 on David Johnson.

The room goes quiet. Yes, David Johnson went for $78, but to someone else. The auctioneer had just said "sold for $78" and wrote down the name of the winning bidder without announcing it. He never heard Jon's bid in the commotion.

So, that was a Bad Draft. Also, it took five hours.

Kevin White wasn't drafted. Would you drop John Brown for him?

1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1FLX/1DST, Half PPR:

QB: Luck, Carr
RB: Gurley, Rawls, Riddick, White, Prosise, Burkhead
WR: Julio, Cooper, Diggs, Sanders, John Brown
TE: Kelce

I'll probably wait until tonight to see if Brown plays, but between the coach and his lack of playing time it's hard to maintain enthusiasm.

Chris Thompson is also available, as is Chris Carson.
