Last draft of the year, who were the top drafts here?


League is a reddit.com/r/narffl major league (huge reddit relegation league, details here https://narffl.com/rules)
12-team PPR with 2 RB, 2 WR, flex, otherwise usual scoring.

Details on picks and my slot number:

I drafted out of the 3-slot. I didn't expect Hurts to be available at the end of the 10th or Lance at the end of the 14th, so my QB plans went a little sideways -- almost took Brady in the 6th. Love Javonte in the 7th and my defense platoon. Need my WRs to pan out and RBs not to get too terribly injured. Pitts is a calculated risk.

If that was full PPR it'd be close. Standard it'd be laughable. At 0.5 it's just kinda weird imo.

Ekeler will get a ton of volume, Herbert is established and likes to use him, he's immune to game script issues (unlike Chubb who doesn't catch passes) and there is no other RB of significance on the roster. Lots of smart people like Ekeler.

Me, I'm dumb as hell, like incredibly stupid, but give me Chubb.

You need to drop or trade Hurts and Lance, as well as one of your defenses. Your WRs are very weak and you should load up on lottery tickets, as well as at least one lottery ticket RB since you only have 4.

Stafford is gonna be fine as a set and forget QB this year, you don’t need a backup. And there’s no reason to roster 2 defenses in a non dynasty league.

yeah, I'll probably try to trade one of Hurts or Lance early season sometime; I didn't expect to get both, but Lance simply dropped too far for his value. But like, what lotto ticket WR or RB would you conceivable drop Lance for right now? Everything after him was pretty much waiver wire quality and Lance does not belong on a wire. I honestly expected to have a TE2 or RB5 instead of a QB3. Really need to work a trade with one of them.

I'm in the minority perhaps but I've had a lot of success drafting 2 defenses. Weeks 1-2 bring a lot of clarity as to the quality of NFL teams, after which point I can drop one, trade, or platoon. It's unusual but I encourage people to try it sometime (if defense scoring in your league matters at all).

I would rank 4 as my favorite, with 1 and 11 somewhat behind them (with the caveat that I did not pay too much attention past the starters. I think rounds 3/4 hurt your team. I realize in hindsight it is way easier to plan out a perfect draft when you know what people behind you will do, but I think you really should have taken one of Jefferson or Keenan Allan in the 3rd round, then a RB in the 4th round, and then grabbed a TE later.

Edit: Actually, revisiting it I think I like 1 the most, then 4, the 11/12.

yeah, I almost went Allen in the third. That'd be reasonable. By ADPs in this league format (there are dozens of Nar leagues to draw ADPs from), one of Godwin/Lockett/Kupp should've been around at 4.10. Alas, none were. I didn't like the RB options for the price at 4.10, so I went Pitts and then sorted out WRs. I love Monty's value, though, so no regrets in the third.

I like it but I think you should get rid of Chark and/or Fuller if they don’t end up the number one receiver on their team after week 1. Going early TE and early QB is going to wreck you if you have any major injuries though, so hopefully you’re in a bunch of leagues.

These are very shaky RBs for a 10 teamer. Drop Chark and probably Fuller too for some sleeper RBs

I had my 12 team full ppr work league draft today at pick #9. Kelce fell to me at 9 after the top 6 rbs, Mahomes, and Adams were taken. Picks 1.10 - 2.3 got the rest of the top rbs and Hill. I ended up taking Diggs as my 2nd pick and decided to go all in with a 0 rb strategy at this point. I was planning on getting an early rb, but with someone taking Mahomes I couldn't pass up Kelce.

1. Travis Kelce
2. Stefon Diggs
3. Allen Robinson II
4. Kyler Murray
5. Robby Anderson
6. Gus Edwards
7. Javonte Williams
8. Raheem Mostert
9. AJ Dillon
10. Marquise Brown
11. Nyheim Hines
12. Jalen Reagor
13. Matt Ryan
14. Matt Gay
15. Patriots d/st
16. Gerald Everett

Honestly the only thing I kind of regret is taking a backup qb and I took Kyler a round earlier than I would of liked. Quarterbacks were starting to go with Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, and Rodgers being taken early. This league has some additional scoring for qbs so they went faster then normal.

Good morning!
I feel like you can choose to go early TE or early QB, but you can't do both. You're left with too little depth at the WR/RB positions. Still considering whether I'd take Kelce if he falls to me at 9/12 in my full PPR league and I think my answer is probably "no". Having Kelce was an incredible advantage in Standard last year but with my top RB out I felt like I was scrambling all season.

There is really no wrong position to pick at pick 9 in PPR (outside of QB), a top WR like Hill or Adams is reasonable, Kelce is reasonable, and whatever RB is reasonable. With your top RB out the points are lost no matter what, I am not sure if there is much functional difference between playing a decent RB3 with a middle tier TE or playing a top tier TE with a worse RB3, it just moves around who gets the points. I have had years where my sleeper TE does not pan out and I end up getting a cumulative 2 points over 6 weeks and it is not ideal.

This looks promising to me, strong mix of WRs and RBs, and I hope it works out, because my team also has Kelce, CEH, and a Jags WR (0.5 PPR, 10 teams):

1. (9) Travis Kelce (KC - TE)
2. (12) Najee Harris (Pit - RB)
3. (29) Clyde Edwards-Helaire (KC - RB)
4. (32) Allen Robinson II (Chi - WR)
5. (49) Mike Davis (Atl - RB)
6. (52) Jerry Jeudy (Den - WR)
7. (69) Dak Prescott (Dal - QB)
8. (72) Corey Davis (NYJ - WR)
9. (89) Ronald Jones II (TB - RB)
10. (92) Laviska Shenault Jr. (Jax - WR)
11. (109) Marquez Callaway (NO - WR)
12. (112) Justin Tucker (Bal - K)
13. (129) New England (NE - DEF)

Pretty happy with my RB situation, but I don't love my WRs after A-Rob. Especially because our league starts three WRs and has short benches (3+1 IR). I wanted a JAX WR and picked Laviska Shenault, but I don't know who will get the most targets there. Marquez Callaway had some preseason hype, but how good is he really, and what happens when Michael Thomas comes back? I kind of want to replace one of my WRs with MVS to get a piece of the GB offense (and I'm a Packers fan so it's cool to have a guy).

Someone posted about Swift pages earlier but I have to ask again: what are y'all seeing in this guy?

he's hurt

his QB needs a genius level OC in his ear to play at a functional NFL level

even if QB was above replacement level, receivers compete for worst in the league

garbage tier defense so they'll be behind all the time

I get that he's nominally a starting RB, but I still can't see feeling anything but bad about taking this guy before 5th or 6th round at best.

He catches pass, so most of that is neutral or a positive. He had 900 yards and 45 catches and 10 TDs last year as a rookie in 13 games.

if he's the ~only option on offense, a massive downgrade at QB, and he'll see stacked boxes the entire season, then I'm not sure what volume will get you besides hurt unless his talent is McCaffrey level. and he's already hurt.

I think people are hoping for a James Robinson season. Dogshit team where he gets all the volume and does just fine as an RB2. The team drafted an O lineman with its top pick and is probably going to want to run the ball, especially with those kinds of receivers.

Of course, the "gets all the volume" is the problem, because A. he's hurt and B. he has Jamal Williams sitting behind him waiting to leech targets. I'm staying away from the Lions unless Hockenson falls for whatever reason.
