Kamara is this year's First Round CJ Spiller and Ezekial Elliott is a Cowboy. David Johnson and Antonio Brown went before me.

I'm #5, Pearce.

^^I really like that back to back Baldwin/Tate pick

12 team, 1 keeper (Zeke 2nd round), 0.5 PPR, 1 fle


QB: Goff
RB: Zeke, Gordon, McKinnon, Coleman, Mack
WR: D Thomas, Hogan, Woods, Stills, Matthews
TE: Doyle
K: Bryant
DEF: Denver

McKinnon fell to me with the 28th pick in a heavy RB keeper league so I had to take him oxver Baldwin/Fitz. WR are a bit light but I feel like there are only 2 better teams in the league.

Thoughts?

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
You reached on Melvin Gordon for crazy reasons but at least you wasted those 9th and 10th round picks to make up for it.

Other than that there are some absolute steals for you.

I suppose my 1st round could have been Kamara. Zeke not getting picked in the first 4 picks was my worst case scenario, and it happened. I don't draft Cowboys. Period. Melvin Gordon gets the crazy volume, there's nobody behind him that challenges him for carries. His YPC isn't crazy, but it's not crazy in any sense to believe he can be a Top 5 RB this year. I had my thumb on Kamara. But, CJ Spiller started talking in my head and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Gordon treated me well last year.

I feel like Devonta Freeman was the best I could do in the 2nd in that spot. Ajayi could have been TY, but I think Ajayi is gonna do a lot this year (not just being a homer). Got Clement later to handcuff that.

Baldwin & Tate I am very excited about. Delanie Walker was supposed to be Mark Ingram, but I got sniped. The rest of it, I feel like I did the best I could with it.

Bobby didn't draft a kicker, so that's allowed, so that's what you shoulda done.

e. And Dave didn't take a D/ST, so that's also what you shoulda done

Here's how I would have drafted, just using players who went after your picks.

1. Elliott
2. Keenan Allen JFC Todd is a God damned moron for skipping over Davante Adams.
3. Diggs FFS who the gently caress are you drafting with that he made it to the turn JESUS DAVE YOU COULD HAVE HAD JULIO NUK DIGGS AND loving FITZGERALD.
4. Baldwin. You have chosen wisely. How the gently caress did Mixon fall that far.
5. Josh Gordon because I want to believe.
6. Burkhead for TE is dead to me.
7. Dion Lewis for more RB depth. I dig the WR pick you made though.
8. I respect Sanders but give me Trey Burton here.
9. Kerryon Johnson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Corey Clement
10. Sony Michel for upside.
11. I don't hate the Anderson pick.
12. Smokey Brown over Carson.
13. Golladay all day.
14. Smith or Mahomes.
15. Powell.
16. Moore or Taywan Taylor.

Anyway you will do fine.

Yeah, Kerryon I haven't done my research on. I'm real hesitant about rookies as well. I figure if my Ajayi goes down, Clement will be a fantasy beast.

It's my work league. So, if I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot in any draft, I'd rather it be this one.

Melvin Gordon & Devonta Freeman are probably my most unexciting first two picks ever. I didn't like my draft spot at all. RBs were flying after the first round. Keenan Allen would have been awesome to have along with TY, but oh well.

Now, Sunday...that's my main draft..

Is it really worth evaluating your team when we all know they'll be gone in a week. :D

Good for you for drafting with conviction. Too many people just go with the consensus. If Gordon was your guy, you take him there.

I hate the Ajayi pick, but I think the Clement pick will make up for it.

Your draft is fine, but I would have made a lot of different choices.

In my MFL league, I have it set so dropped players are locked for 2 days. Do I need to set up an event to process blind waiver FAAB bids every time a player is dropped, or will they process automatically whenever a dropped player is no longer locked?

In my keeper league (0.5 ppr), the best available players in the draft will be: DJ, Zeke, Barkley, Julio, Fournette, Allen, Cook, AJ Green and so on.

According to the board, they start 2 Wrs with no flex.
According to the board, that guy drafted 5 WRs in the first 7 rounds

A lot of people play in leagues because participating is more important than winning. My family league, which is going on for its seventh year now, has become an annual tradition with everyone coming together to socialize and have fun. It's a great way for everyone to stay connected. Even crazier is that over time the league has gotten more and more competitive; just look at the draft board I posted earlier. Aside from the 2017 drafter everyone did a pretty solid job.

Yeah, that's why we have our employee league. Just keeps us that much more together. Ironically, I haven't won in 5 years.

And you would NEVER believe it...but Jimmy won last year.

His draft looked similar to this year's. His first RB1 was Adrian Peterson on the Saints.

I was very worried about this. But after spending enough time I'm not willing to admit (Thanks, Leperflesh!!!), it doesn't seem too bad.

I'm trying to set up waivers to match every other fantasy football platform in existence. Players are locked from kickoff of their game, and stay locked until waivers process on Wednesday mornings. Ok, that part wasn't hard to set up.

Now for players that are dropped by an owner. In Yahoo/ESPN/NFL/CBS/etc they are locked for 2 days after being dropped, and then they process the following morning. I just want to set up my MFL the same way. But no! I have to manually set up any and all days for the entire season that I want waivers to process. (this means it processes ALL locked players). So, as far as I can tell, there's no way to make it treat waivers like the default setting of every fantasy football platform to ever exist in the history of fantasy football.

I would add Ekeler if possible. I know there are mixed feelings about handcuffing butI think its important when you have big benches and when the handcuff would clearly be at least an RB2 if the main guy got hurt.
