Guy who lost Ware for season just offered me J Nelson for M Ingram and T Coleman. This leaves me with Bell, Ayayayayai, and J Stewart.

Standard league no ppr 12 man. My only decent WR is M Thomas so is this an accept?

I don't know why you thought this. I can't remember the last time I liked a running back class coming out this much. I just wish I'd gotten more shares in dynasty, but I also think this receiving class is being seriously underrated. poo poo, it's easily the best tight end class in recent memory and it's probably the strongest class since Luck.

I wrote some of my concerns about the RB class here. I basically just thought it would be an average class instead of a historic class.

I'm all-in on this rookie TE class. I think it could easily produce as many as 3 of 2020's top-10 TEs. I've taken at least one, sometimes two TEs in every rookie dynasty draft I've been in. This could be a historic group.

QBs I was all-in on Mahomes but otherwise thought it was about average. After some preseason games I think Mahomes will be good and Kizer could also be pretty decent. Still not sold on Trubs or Watson.

WR I've been picking up Zay Jones and Kenny Golladay everywhere I can get them for the past month, considering the value they've been going for (though a few weeks ago I took Zay 10th overall). Aside from that I think the WR class could be about average.

We're fucking built for this shit!
League had our draft last night, drafted at #6 in the first round in a standard non-PPR ESPN league. 1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE/1FLEX

Ended up with the following (starters in bold):

QB: Kirk Cousins, Matt Stafford
RB: Le'Veon Bell, Todd Gurley, Kareem Hunt, Terrance West, Darren McFadden, Derrick Henry
WR: Amari Cooper, Terrelle Pryor, Kelvin Benjamin, Donte Moncrief
TE: Travis Kelce, Eric Ebron
D/ST: Chargers
K: Blair Walsh

Besides a lack of depth at WR, what should I be looking to address? I know a couple of you will gripe at me for carrying 2 QBs, but I got my second late enough I thought it was worth it just to tie him up.

You would have better WR depth if you didn't have a backup QB and TE. I don't get it. Neither Cousins nor Kelce is particularly injury prone. Take a late round WR instead if you only have 4 on your roster...

I don't know how that happened, the only reason I didn't instantly mash the 'Draft' button is because it took me a second to realize he was still there.

Julio Jones

Literally everyone carries 2 QBs in my league, so it can be a bitch to get a worthwhile backup to cover your Bye if you wait. I mean, you're right, I'm not arguing that but that's the league I play in. Ebron, yeah, not much defense for that pick.

If everyone has 2QB there's a bunch of good RB's and WR's on the waiver wire. Drop your backup QB and TE for them.

That just means there's even more dudes worth grabbing on the waiver then. At best you'll only need a backup for your bye, so there's no point holding someone for 13+ weeks if your intention is to use him for 1.

Best WRs are: Kenny Stills, Brandon LaFell, Sterling Shepard, Steve Smith, Cole

Some guy in my league hosed up his draft order and ended up with Rodgers and Brady at QB with Reed and Olsen at TE.

He has absolutely underwhelming players at WR and RB and is already open to trades since the draft was last night. I have Brees at QB who isn't far behind those 2 and Rudolph at TE.

Thinking of tossing an offer of Brees, Rudolph, and 1 of Diggs/Powell/Ingram/Tyreek/Crabtree for Rodgers and Olsen, worth it? If so who?

edit: yea i'm dumb, he probably doesn't want a QB back if he already has Brady too.

"Yes, I remember the Aguamoose..."
Just drafted my 10 team Standard league, very pleased with it though will do my best to trade for a star WR. 1qb, 2rb, 2wr, 1 flex

QB: Mariota
RB: D Johnson, Crowell, K Hunt, Montgomery, West, Smallwood
WR: M Thomas, A rob, M Bryant, E sanders, Maclin, Wallace, Tyrell Williams
TE: Kelce
K: No-one, will drop someone before the season starts
Def: No-one, will drop someone before the season starts

Edelman, Ware and Meredith all got drafted which gave everyone else a good laugh.

My other redraft league has a ridiculous 18 teams (it's friends else I wouldn't bother) and I am due to pick 16th. Not looking forward to that one...

0.5 PPR, 12 team league. I got offered a straight TE trade, I get Jordan Reed, I give up Ertz. Seems like a good deal, I'm concerned about Reed staying healthy obviously but there's nothing new I could google that looked bad. Thoughts? If Reed goes out I could pick up Vernon Davis or just stream whoever's out there, but if I could lock up a decent TE for once, that would be nice.

Browns coach Hue Jackson confirmed Sunday that DeShone Kizer will start at quarterback in Week 1 against Pittsburgh.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer already reported Kizer starting was a "done deal," so all Jackson had to do was confirm the routine report wasn't fake news. The Plain Dealer has been all over Kizer's ascension from the start. Jackson said Kizer will not have a short leash, and the Browns are committed to giving him a long-term look. Look for Brock Osweiler to be released, and Cody Kessler to operate as the Browns' No. 2 quarterback this season.
Good news for Crowell, Britt, and Coleman. Bad news for Duke Johnson.
