had my first draft last night, 14-team league, 2 keepers, 6 point passing TDs, .5 ppr. 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR 2 FLEX 1 TE 1 D 1 K: (4) Zeke (top 3 were CMC, Dalvin, Kamara; after me were Jones, Henry, Taylor, Adams, Kelce, Najee, Tyreek, CEH, Ridley, Hopkins) (25) Amari Cooper (32) Kyle Pitts (53) Kyler Murray (60) Joe Mixon (K) (81) Deebo Samuel (88) Antonio Brown (109) DK Metcalf (K) (116) Darnell Mooney (137) Elijah Moore (144) Mecole Hardman (165) Giovani Bernard (172) New England (193) Rondale Moore (200) Terrace Marshall Jr. Strategy was to load up on upside WRs, hope to run through the season with Zeke and Mixon and get floor points with Gio if necessary, scout the wire for more RB depth as poo poo happens. god bless yahoo for not forcing me to draft a kicker...draft was wild due to 14 teams and 25+ guys getting kept, David Montgomery went 20th overall and Chris Carson was 18th. Damien Harris went in the 3rd round!

I don’t think this is really an indictment on Henderson. They just have no proven depth at the position (as much as I want Xavier Jones to be a thing) and after a near miss with Henderson hurting his thumb in practice the other day, they made the move to shore up the backup situation. Sony has been a JAG since those knee injuries.

^^^^ they already said Sony is going to start apparently so I do think this is an indictment of Henderson I feel like with injuries they happen every year but you still need to try to hit that RB home run in the first if you can. If they go down welp it happens and you overcome this by being in like four leagues so your season isn't ruined. And do dynasty in one of them.

I’ve just seen beat writers saying Sony is a complementary/depth signing: https://twitter.com/JourdanRodrigue/status/1430491862863728641?s=20 Definitely a hit to Henderson’s ceiling looking at that draft capital, but I still prefer him to Sony in all formats.

Maybe Shefter spoke too soon and deleted that tweet edit: it seems they're walking this back because well you probably don't want to just name some new guy the starter especially with those knees. https://twitter.com/pff_fantasy/status/1430551669599739908?s=10

My redraft league that is keeping keepers for the first time this year is drafting tonight. Would it be dirty of me to draft Etienne really late then stash him on IR all year so I could keep him for cheap next year? Edit: we keep for two rounds higher the following year.

I got to keep Mixon in the 5th round this year for just this reason.

Would it be dirty of me to draft Etienne really late then stash him on IR all year so I could keep him for cheap next year? I’m honestly considering this in my 10-team keeper league and hoping no one else has the same plan. We have a draft position-based value system, basically #1 overall pick is worth 170 keeper points, last pick is worth 1. It gets a little more complicated than that but if I could get him in the last handful of rounds and have a skilled RB2 keeper worth like 20 points going into the 2022-23 season it would be pretty dope. P.S. I guarantee you at least one of my leaguemates has the same plan

Like, it's just a slightly more extreme version of drafting a highly touted rookie firmly behind an aging vet for one year, ya know?

I drafted Cam Akers in the last round of my keeper league this year. It’s absolutely worth it if you have IR spots. Worst case you just drop his rear end. I remember one year I drafted Jordy Nelson and some other stud who was out for the season in the last 2 rounds of the draft and next year my team was so unfair.

Akers is done. Running backs don't come back from Achilles. Straight up cut. Pick an actual lotto ticket. Only like 2 RBs in the last decade have been in the league 2 years past an Achilles injury. Let me look for the stat.

Wow, didnt expect so many replies, thanks guys! Yeah I checked the bylaws and there is nothing preventing it, and it will take up an IR spot so there is a "cost". Some guys are keeping guys they picked up off the waiver last year - that costs a 10th rounder, which is why I am trying to find late round value so I can find someone in the 18th to keep for the increasing 2 round value for the next 5+ years. Some guy drafted JRob in the 16th last year so thats a free starting RB for him this year. I'm keeping Swift for a 4th, Gibson for a 5th, and Diontae for a 6th. I picked 1st overall draft spot so I pay 4.12 for Swift hehehe Speaking of it, are there any guys you like for late round potential keepers in redraft? I know I want to try to grab Mooney and a few others that have a lot of promise after their rookie year or a regime change. AAAAA!

Just wait for a dude to break out. Jefferson wasn't rostered last year I bet. Neither was Robinson. Snag both, or any guys like Herbert on the cusp of breaking out. Bid on all of them, don't wait a week just to see if they repeat their weeks. Churn the last 2 roster slots weekly (alternate weeks) for gold nuggets.

If I need to put an actual roster player on IR I’ll definitely drop Akins, but until then he sits there. We have 2 IR slots and a dedicated 3rd Covid only IR slot. It’s absolutely zero risk. But I get what you’re saying. Maybe I can trade a team with lovely keepers for a former RB1 with 18th round keeper value. Who knows?  But more so just signing on to the idea of drafting an injured player in the last round with zero risk to stash in a keeper league. (Only if you have IR slots)

My take on the Sony Michel/lead back or not thing is that even if he’s listed as their number 1 back on the next depth chart Sony Michel loving sucks and the Rams will figure that out by Halloween so don’t draft him unless he falls really far.

100%. Michel had his chance to be a good player, and he is definitely not.

Just finished that draft I was posting about earlier and the 7ish keepers that were top 25 players kept a top 3 TE from falling to me so I went for a 4th RB. Had the first overall pick and went with this: CMC ARob Jacobs Swift (keeper) Gibson (keeper) Diontae (keeper) Stafford Higbee Mooney McKissic Elijah Moore Everett Bryan Edwards Tampa D Etienne Wilzon Van Jefferson Feeling pretty good about it.

Yea I would have went WR in round 4 but other than that it’s solid. If McLaurin was there I would definitely have taken him. Dude is a stud even with dogshit QBs. Jacobs does have the talent to be worth it there but gamescript and Drake are scary.
