Finished up my first draft of the year in my keeper league 1 PPR QB: Kirk RB: Pollard (4th) RB: Mixon WR: JJ WR: Amari Cooper (5th) TE: Higbee FLEX: Gibbs K: DEF: KC BN: Mattison BN: Christian Kirk BN: Antonio Gibson BN: Michael Thomas BN: Jakobi Meyers BN: Chigoziem Okonkwo Okonkwo will probably be dropped for a Kicker. Punted on TE basically and waited on a QB and decided to just take Kirk late to stack with JJ. Thinking I did good but there's a couple teams out there who had phenomenal keepers.

Did my only draft. Half PPR, 3WR, two keepers. QB: Cousins RB: Aaron Jones RB: Mattison (8th) WR: Kupp WR: Lamb WR: Mike Williams TE: Waller FLEX: James Conner K: DEF: WAS BN: Rachaad (12th) BN: Penny BN: Mike Evans BN: Treylon Burks BN: Mingo BN: Mims BN: Tank Dell I'll drop Tank for a Kicker. I'll have to see who I actually play at RB at least in week 1. FantasyPros says I tied for best draft at 100.

I may have mentioned this but my commissioner paid Chad Henne(thing is possible) to announce our draft order and told him I was never a believer in Mahomes and he admonished me by name and sure sure fun fun but it is still killing me and I want to link him to all the gifs from practice I put all of you through lol.

Had my one and only draft last night. 0.5 PPR. Drafted 6/10. Felt like I did alright. QB - Burrow RB - Rhamondre Stevenson RB - Kenneth Walker III WR - CeeDee Lamb WR - Chris Olave TE - Travis Kelce Flex - Diontae Johnson K - Jason Myers DEF - NE Bench Tua Tagovailoa D'Andre Swift Tyler Allgeier Terry McLaurin Courtland Sutton Evan Engram Already thinking I'm going to drop the NE Defense and pick up Washington. NE faces some fairly strong offenses to start the season, while Wash gets Arizona and Denver the first two weeks. I typically just play the waiver wire for defenses all year, which I think is a fairly common strategy.

I drafted Mostert late, step one was Jonathan Taylor staying put, step two is Wilson getting hurt and of course step three is Mostert goes to IR week one. edit: looks like Achane is hurt, too Achane (shoulder) is wearing a non-contact jersey at practice Wednesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

So it's Fournette, Hunt, or bust for Miami. Seems not ideal, but maybe old man Mostert can put together a season this year.

I've had the UDK the last couple years because I like their DFS content and the draft kit just comes with it anyway. I don't think it's worth buying tbh you can get comparable info for free in various ways. I guess if you have very little experience with fantasy or football in general it would be helpful (which is totally fine, not everyone is an obsessive weirdo). But again you can find professional analysts who publish ranks and strategy articles/podcasts for free. If you aren't already somewhat plugged into fantasy I don't know that you'd get much value from their extra commentary. Just scanning it now it's got such brilliant insights as Geno Smith might break out this year (he already did???) and Jonathan Taylor might be a bad pick (he isn't even playing???) Also lol a guy down the hall is having a lengthy phone call with some poor bastard detailing every pick from his fantasy draft last night. Tis the season.

It would be great if something could happen with Fournette and Hunt already, since I have both of them on my dynasty team…as well as Wilson and Taylor. I have okay depth and the league has weird settings, but agh. So many question marks that I’d like to resolve.

Alright I made my ideal league, a bog standard no PPR yahoo league. Feel free to join! We can work out if we want to do money or what. I'm down for $10 but I generally like to stay away from money + sports because I'm weird. Other ideas: I force the gf to crochet some fun football things for the top 3, homemade hot sauce, I paint the winner a beautiful work of art, something. If this gets any traction I'll probably make a thread so we can finalize things. https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/1108088/invitation?key=154d3495b3c4af11&soc_trk=lnk&ikey=828ab839aaa3a6d3 Kilometers Davis fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Sep 1, 2023 |

Behold, a team that is completely adequate! (12-team league, .5 PPR) I was able to score Mandrews in the 4th and Ekeler fell to me even though I was drafting 7th overall. I don't love my WRs but I think there's solid floors there. I did catch some flack for my Najee pick, so Drunk Nerds you better be right about this. Overall, I'm pretty pleased. The player I'm probably gonna hate all year is D.J. Moore. Any thought for improvement or stuiff I missed/hosed up? (Next two drafts are Blue Shell leagues where I am trying to pick a team that will routinely come in 2nd or 3rd.)

My BML that i just finished up. .5 PPR and starts 3 WR QB: Lamar RB: Chubb RB: Henry WR: Christian Watson WR: Mike Evans WR: Jordan Addison TE: Njoku FLEX: Stevenson K: Jake Elliot DEF: Baltimore BN: Juju BN: Skyy Moore BN: Tank Bigsby BN: Rashod Bateman BN: Jalin Hyatt Not sure i should've punted on the WR position in a 3 WR league but i'm hoping my RB's are good enough to carry the team, expecting a bounceback season for Lamar too.

I too drafted tonight. 12 teams, full PPR, 6 pt passing TD. I had the 11 spot which really sucked, felt like the choices were always garbage from the first round right on through and guys I wanted kept getting sniped right before my pick. Made the best of it, I don't love the team, don't hate it. I certainly skewed young as I think my oldest player besides the kicker is Mandrews at 27. I wanted either an elite QB or TE and Andrews was who ended up being there at the right time (3-4 turn). Only egregious reach was Lawrence because QBs were flying off the board and I was worried about getting the short straw if I had to wait another 20 picks. QB: Trevor Lawrence RB: Tony Pollard RB: Alexander Mattison WR: Garrett Wilson WR: Christian Watson TE: Mark Andrews FLEX: JSN DST: Cowboys K: Will Lutz or whatever i don't care BN: Brian Robinson BN: Quentin Johnston BN: Gabe Davis BN: Jaylen Warren BN: Kenny Pickett BN: Marvin Mims

Yahoo gave me a league award claiming my team is expected to earn the most points over the season  BML - League Settings - Auction - $200 budget, 0.5 PPR, 12 teams:  Bit more points for passing TDs, bit bigger penalties for interceptions and fumbles. Team:
Evaluation: I compared the yahoo $ values with 1) THE RINGER and 2) the Football Absurdity Draft Sheet. Those two sources had significantly different $values for some players. So my approach was basically to go after players which had yahoo $values lower than both Ringer and FA. All my starters were drafted at $values substantively lower than the FA $values and lower or equal to the RINGER $values. I'm pretty stoked on the alleged discount I got for Hurts, Conner, and Mattison. Whachu think friends? Stand pat until after week 1? Or try and pick up a high upside WR lottery ticket?
