So I had the sixth pick and grabbed Todd Gurley. In the words of the Allman brothers, Lord I was born a gamblin man!

His risk level is way too high for a first round pick. I'm just glad that at 1.05 I have the easy choice of Melvin Gordon.

Happy to snag Hopkins at 8th in a PPR. Like him better than Adam's because Houston scored more in 2018 and retains more offensive pieces than GB. Like him better than Michael Thomas because Drew Brees seemed to suck at the deep ball in the last few games of last year. Like him better than Julio because Julio seems to trend towards low touchdown numbers

So I took Kamara over McCaffrey at 1.3. Didn't do a ton of thinking about it beyond just feeling better about the offense in NO generally than in CAR. That said, if I'd taken McCaffrey I wouldn't be too upset- I'm guessing barring injury he and Kamara end up having pretty similar seasons. Anybody have a strong take one way or the other?

At 1.01, it came down to Zeke and Saquon and it was extremely close for me. I woke up this morning wanting Zeke, and I've already talked myself back into Saquon. I get that the Giants are a mess, but they were a mess last year and added Zeitler, which should help. He may have limited TD upside but he was top-four in RB targets, receptions and reYDs. You can scheme around a bad line to get around 8 in the box if you have a back like Saquon. He had slightly more yards on 30 fewer touches than Zeke last year and he has big, beautiful quads which pushed me over the edge taking Saquon at 1.01.

Thanks for doing that. I wanted McCaffrey so it worked out for me. I'm thinking this year if I'm not picking in the top 5 then I want to pick in one of the last two draft slots. It's early but that might have the most value.

OK those are all reasonable picks but what I think by far the most pressing issue of fantasy football 2019: with the retirement of gronk... who is the first TE off the board, and when should he be taken?

It's Kelce right? And probably 3rd? 3/4? Really though it's grab your favorite guy in the 10th.

Kelce scored like a WR1 in each of the last two years (WR8 in '18; WR7 in '17?) without any TE premium. That's late 2 / early 3 territory in redraft if he was a WR. Given he's not a WR, the positional value is a solid bonus. In TE premium, he's probably a 2nd.

If Gurley is there in the mid 2nd, like low RB1 or high RB2, I don't know how I could turn him down. Before that and I probably go for the safer options.

I feel like as we get closer to August we'll get more and better info that'll help clarify Gurley's place.

Let's have a brief 1.01 conversation. Because I had a comically bad year and ended up with it for the first time in a long time. First of all, ewok squirrel face Estinkial Elliott is off the table for obvious reasons. So, seems the consensus #1 is Saquon Barkley. He was an absolute monster and I couldn't help but marvel at him when my beloved were playing against him last year. He's a freak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQPfLO5amRA But, man. Do I hate investing 1.01 into such a terrible offense. Eli Manning/Daniel Jones....Golden Tate/Shepherd/Engram....that o-line....I guess it's kind of like the Vikings AP days fantasy wise. And thank goodness Eli only checks down now so Barkley gets 18 receptions a game. But, if Eli were to get injured/Jones gets the start. It could get bad real fast for Barkley. Reaaaaal fast. But, what's everyone's thinking?

Your worst case scenario is "Eli is no longer the quarterback" which is a best-case in disguise. Don't overthink it imo

Leperflesh posted:yeah but is kelce's value improved or diminished by the WR situation in KC? I'd say stays the same. He was one of the top TE before Hill, anyways. The only catch with Kelce at 2/3 is Ertz and Kittle being right on his heels yardage-wise. It makes for less of a clear cut advantage, I think.

As much as Matthew Berry falls flat, I always thought one of his best pieces of insight was "you cant win your league with your first round pick, but you can lose it." The first round has so many studs, this year, it's hard for me to talk myself into one with any glaring question marks

Interesting. You guys all pretty much fell where I fell on this.

I don't buy this axiom. I think leagues are won in the middle rounds. I don't think any one round can win or lose it.

I might even do one of the Yahoo pay ones. That could be an interesting experiment. Make sure you guys remind me before the season starts or I might forget.

I'm worried that if Keke and Will Fuller find a way to be healthy for more than 3 games next season, it's gonna drop Hopkins enough that it made more sense for me to grab Adams. Combined that with the Packers not adding any offensive weapons while also shedding dead weight at WR. Keke Coutee went for 11 receptions in the Texans last game of the season, and it was his first game back after being injured for over a month. If he and Fuller stays healthy all year, Hopkins is gonna take a decent hit in PPR leagues imo. I'd still happily take him in the 1st though, but i like Adams a tad bit more currently.

Sataere posted:There's your first mistake Yea, haha. Aside from the hamstring injury that bugged Coutee last year, he hasn't really had that much of an injury history. He didn't miss one game in 3 seasons at TxTech before that hammy last year. I'm hoping he does stay healthy because depending on where his ADP is closer to the season, he may end up a PPR superstar this season, i'm hoping to target him in the later rounds depending on that.

To be fair, that joke was more directed at Fuller. EDIT: Also, I'm in no way knocking the pick. I'm a huge Adams fan. I'm not sure if he's my WR1 this year, but he's definitely in the discussion.
