Lol that the year everyone finally decides to draft elite TEs early they all pop up on the injury report before week 1. We play a cursed game

Anyone care to rate review and smash that like button in my 12t standard non ppr yahoo draft? I think I like it. I wish I would’ve grabbed more high end RBs since it’s non ppr but I like to take the best players available when possible.

QB Trevor Lawrence
WR Tee Higgins
WR DK Metcalf
RB Tony Pollard
RB Rachaad White
TE Travis Kelce
WRT Raheem Mostert
BN Christian Watson
BN Jamaal Williams
BN Tank Bigsby
BN Rashod Bateman
BN Allen Lazard
BN Dawson Knox (dropping for an upside RB when Kelce is back)

I like it. In 0 ppr I might start Williams over White.

Waller is one of those guys where every time I draft him, he gets hurt, and every time I don't draft him, he also gets hurt.

This was my experience with Waller and Hockenson. Both went 1-2 rounds before ADP in like 4 snake drafts I did.

It's interesting to look at my dynasty team and see how quickly things can turn around with some good offseason moves. I had a good stock of draft picks at the end of last season where I ended up with the 3rd pick of the rookie draft and was looking at a promising rebuild. Here's how my starting roster looked at the end of last season. This is a 12 team PPR superflex league.

QB: Dak Prescott
RB: James Cook
RB: Isiah Pacheco
WR: Justin Jefferson
WR: Garrett Wilson
WR: Nick Westbrook-Ikhine
TE: Cole Kmet
Flex: Jauan Jennings
Flex: K.J. Osborn
SF: Mac Jones

I decided to say gently caress the long rebuild right before the rookie draft and just trade the picks to make my team good now, so now my team looks like this:

QB: Justin Herbert
RB: CMC
RB: Isiah Pacheco
WR: Justin Jefferson
WR: Garrett Wilson
WR: Davante Adams
TE: Mark Andrews
Flex: Mike Williams
Flex: James Cook
SF: Dak Prescott

I'm not going to list all my bench players because there's so many of then, but the useful ones are Mac Jones, Bateman, Penny, Gainwell, and Parris Campbell. I still want to add another RB and WR for more depth, but I think I'm going to wait a month and see what holes I'll need to fill between bye weeks and injuries.

I think I need a backup plan for Mandrews in PPR.

Who would you drop for Everett?

D. Achane
T. Burks
B. Cooks
M. Mims

I'm leaning Burks. I know people like him but that's a low volume passing offense.

Docjowles
Apr 9, 2009

Coin flip between Mims and Burks imo.

Jeudy still seems to be a game time decision because of course it is. If he plays a lot of the early season appeal of Mims dies cause he’s pushed out of 2WR sets. Also everyone assumes Payton will fix Denver but they might still just suck rear end.

Burks is on a bad passing offense but he’s definitely the #2 and has a year under his belt which works in his favor.

If you’re not at all attached to your kicker I would drop him and put Andrews on IR if he is ruled out, that way you don’t need to drop either guy.

No kicker in this league and we can't put Q on IR. So it has to be a drop. I'm leaning Burks pretty hard. I honestly don't want any part of TEN offense.

I meant put him on IR if he changes to O which is what I did with Kelce on Thursday. But I know different sites handle that in different ways. Anyway you are living the dream with no kicker so it doesn’t matter! I keep trying to get rid of them in my leagues but everyone’s like “no they are good actually because one time I won when my kicker that I selected completely at random scored 20 points” :eng99:

I'll never go back to kicker leagues again. It rules not having to deal with them. And thanks for the advice. I'll wait to see what happens on Sunday. Thankfully mandrews is a 1PM game.

If you don't need him to start I'd scoop him and see how it goes. Wouldn't be comfortable putting him in for Kupp tho.

If Mandrews misses wouldn’t Likely be better than the average waiver wire TE like Everett?

Handcuffing TE's isn't a thing.

Step 1: Start fight
Step 2: Attack straw man
Step 3: REPEAT

Do not engage with me



Grabbing Likely isn't just handcuffing Andrews. If he isn't able to go, Likely is going to be in a pass heavy offense with a lot of plays designed to go to him. Honestly, unless you got a top five tight end, you should be considering grabbing Likely in your leagues if Andrews isn't available. He has an incredibly high ceiling playing against a team that is probably going to be one of the worst in football.

Figures, the one year I go a bit early on TE and get Kelce and Andrews in various leagues. Is Likely a better option than Juwan Johnson? Freiermuth is also availabile.

Everett is available, as well. I can play him or Likely over Schultz, whom I drafted with one of my last picks as I missed out on the Top TEs (dodged a bullet there)

My opponent still has Andrews starting but with the news he probably won’t go, I’m considering trying to thwart his options. I have Engram but Higbee and Likely are sitting in FA. Do I take either one of them and drop Engram? Am I overthinking this?

I could also either drop Lazard or Thielen but I already have a thin WR bench as it is in a 3WR league.

You're wildly overthinking it. Do not drop Engram. And those are 2 decent choices for him, so grabbing only 1 of them barely even helps you.
