Call me a spurned last-season Evans owner, but I’m not picking up any shares unless it’s a ridiculous value, like 3rd round. I’m concerned about him not getting support from his QB or offense in general.

Okay, waiver claims get processed tonight and Tuesday afternoon we lock waivers until 9/3 so that folks can go on vacation and not worry about grabbing players. It's first come first serve at noon on 9/3 but I'm thinking about who to grab tonight over a DST. Half PPR, 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1FLX/1DST QB: Cousins RB: Gurley, Ajayi, Hyde, Ronald Jones, Cohen WR: AJ Green, Diggs, Jeffery, Sanders, Golladay, John Brown TE: Eifert So I have 1 open spot, and room for anyone else that I drop. With that in mind who would you pick up? Compelling options include Doug Martin, Michael Gallup, Ricky Seals-Jones, George Kittle, Keelan Cole, Antonio Callaway, Cordarrelle Patterson, Taywan Taylor, Nyheim Hines, Kenneth Dixon, Chris Ivory, TJ Yeldon, Chase Edmonds, John Kelly. Just tossing a few names out there. I'm thinking Taywan Taylor might be worth grabbing given how he performed in Week 2, Michael Gallup makes sense given the lack of options in Dallas, any thoughts?

Draft for my main league was last night and I was helping run it so I got to spend zero time between picks looking at stuff or even hunting for sleepers. How boned am I? 12 Team .5 PPR Keeper League QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, RB/WR/TE 1st: Bell - Keeper 2nd: M. Thomas 3rd: x 4th: Collins - Keeper 5th: D. Thomas 6th: E. Engram 7th: Big Ben 8th: x 9th: E.

Taylor seems to have more first-team reps that anyone else, but is he really going to outperform Corey Davis? I have no loving clue.

Where are your 3rd and 8th round picks? Lost due to the keepers?? Having DT and Sanders as your WR2 options is strange and will be frustrating for you unless Denver turns into some type of surprise offensive juggernaut. If one or the other has a big game in the early season, trade him. The Big Ben pick was ghastly. He does have a good playoff schedule though (if you get there) Your bench is full of guys who will not be startable unless there are injuries on the depth chart ahead of them. There's little to like here, unfortunately.

I just don't see the volume with the Titans that there is potential for in Dallas. Granted Dallas isn't the best place to look for wr's but I'd take the shot at the top target than 3rd.

Gallup's circumstances give me too many flashbacks to guys like Zay Jones and Tajae Sharpe in prior years. The targets may be there for the taking but he's a mid-round rookie and if he's playing the most snaps on the outside, then he will pretty much be up against the best CBs on the other team every week. I have doubts.

Well, I finally figured out my Dynasty Startup settings. Got 9-10 local dudes down, MIGHT need a couple of goons. We will see. Trying to keep it local. Also, dropped Contracts and did just Salary Cap instead. Kept running into problems with figuring out Contracts. Too complicated. Anyways.. Changes to the main stuff: quote:12 Teams So, now that's out of the way... How do I need to draft? Already prepping to overpay for Wentz & Ertz

If it’s a super flex you probably want to go QB/QB in the first 2 rounds.

Thinking I might just double dip with Watson and grab Rivers for cheap later on if possible. Is there any apps or spreadsheets out there where I can input settings? I'm basically doing Scott Fish Bowl lite Dynasty with these settings. Although, from what I understand, younger stud WR carry more weight in this format (Odell, etc)

Just as a note, RBs are gonna crush all other positional players in that scoring. You should bump WR PPR or PP1D (and TE as well) to make it more even. Offhand, something like 14 RBs had more firsts than any WR last season, many by a significant margin. For example, Bell had as many rushing firsts as KA (who leads WR) had total firsts, and then bell added 31 receiving firsts on top, for about 50% more. By the time you got to the sixth or seventh WR it was more like 20. Also, note that MFL counts TDs as firsts as well, so adding a 40 yard bonus makes long TD receptions very valuable.

I only have time to participate in one league this year and didn't have the opportunity for any mocks beforehand. How did I do? 12-team, 1 PPR, drafting from the 7 spot 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 WR/TE, 1 D/ST, 1 K QB: Carson Wentz (8) RB: Ezekiel Elliott (1), Leonard Fournette (2), Mark Ingram (6), Jamaal Williams (10), C.J. Anderson (11), Jordan Wilkins (15) WR: Jarvis Landry (4), Corey Davis (5), Robby Anderson (7), Kenny Stills (9), Tyrell Williams (12), Chris Godwin (14) TE: Rob Gronkowski (3) D/ST: Saints (13) K: none yet Very happy to get Zeke at #7 and then follow up with Fournette but I'm not used to being as weak at WR as I feel like I am. As long as I get decent production from them then hopefully my RBs can carry me, especially once Ingram returns. I don't have to make the decision for a few weeks but I feel like I'll end up dropping Wilkins for a kicker and maybe T. Williams for a QB if it turns out that Wentz isn't quite ready in week 1. (Teams 11 and 12 weren't present so we crowd-drafted for them)

sourdough posted:WRs really weak for a full PPR league, though if you're expecting Landry to meet or better his Miami numbers then that'll help Yeah, I was really hoping for Fitz or Hilton in the 3rd and things would've looked a lot better if I could've snagged one. I liked Gronk better as a consolation prize over guys like Tyreek, Robinson, or Tate so I don't feel like I missed out too badly by waiting and taking Landry in the 4th. I do have high hopes for Landry but I'm pretty biased in his favor because I had him last year and he was great. RCarr posted:Pretty cruel of you guys to draft a QB in the first for both of them. It's sort of a running joke in this league that Rodgers always goes in the first. Not sure who picked Brady for team 12 but when you flake out on the draft at the last minute and don't provide any rankings or player preferences then poo poo happens

Keeper question for y'all PPR, 12 teams, bonuses every 100 yards. Pick two Hopkins (kept in round 2) OBJ (kept in round 1) Thielen (kept in round 11) Currently feeling that Hopkins and Thielen are best route to go. Each team gets four total keepers but my other two are Gurley and DJ in the 4th/5th and they're easy keeps over all the WRs
