Randall Cobb is an WR3 who will get overdrafted on name recognition. He hasn't lived up to his ADP in a couple years now.

Hey I'm a few beers in and did this exercise at the start of the offseason, just looking at the ADP rounds and making off-the-cuff hot takes. Now that we're close to training camp, let's re-evaluate the draft consensus and look for potential steals/reaches. ADP Source: https://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/adp First round 1. David Johnson 2. Le'Veon Bell 3. Ezekiel Elliott 4. Antonio Brown 5. Julio Jones 6. Odell Beckham Jr. 7. LeSean McCoy 8. Melvin Gordon 9 Mike Evans 10. A.J. Green 11. Devonta Freeman 12. Jordan Howard The top 3 RBs and top 3 WRs are firmly set, and you honestly can't go wrong with any of those choices. Good year to have a top-6 pick. Gordon at 8 seems generous with his injury history, and I'm wary of Howard being a one-year wonder, but otherwise, most of this round feels right. Second round 13. Jordy Nelson 14. DeMarco Murray 15. Jay Ajayi 16. Michael Thomas 17. Todd Gurley 18. T.Y. Hilton 19. Dez Bryant 20. Rob Gronkowski 21. Lamar Miller 22. Amari Cooper 23. Aaron Rodgers 24. Leonard Fournette Gurley at 17 is an awful leap of faith -- he deserves some blame for the Rams' offense bottoming out. If he was going a round or two later I'd take the plunge, but I don't like that price for a guy who's been more name than game for 1 1/2 seasons. At least TY is finally getting drafted where he deserves, I can't get a bargain this year. Gronk is also a leap of faith, but when healthy he's the undisputed TE1, so it makes sense. Don't draft Amari in the second when you can get Crabtree 2 rounds later for similar or better numbers. Fournette ... well, better hope he lives up to the hype at that price. Third round 25. Brandin Cooks 26. Marshawn Lynch 27. DeAndre Hopkins 28. Doug Baldwin 29. Isaiah Crowell 30. Tom Brady 31. Alshon Jeffery 32. Spencer Ware 33. Allen Robinson 34. Carlos Hyde 35. Davante Adams 36. Terrelle Pryor Marshawn is my favorite football player of all time. He's also 30 years old, hasn't played in a year and looked like an injury-riddled washout his last time out. Uh, good luck taking him at 26. Hopkins seems like a lock to outperform his ADP without Brock making GBS threads up the field. I don't like Hyde in this spot, given all the smoke about him not fitting into Kyle Shanahan's scheme. Pryor is fun but risky drafting that high. Fourth round 37. Demaryius Thomas 38. Sammy Watkins 39. Travis Kelce 40. Eddie Lacy 41. Drew Brees 42. Keenan Allen 43. Adrian Peterson 44. Doug Martin 45. CJ Anderson 46. Tyreek Hill 47. Jordan Reed 48. Michael Crabtree I pity the fool who takes an old/overrated RB stuck in a lovely committee. AP and CJA should be hands-off on any sensible draft board. Fat Eddie is now on my team so I have to be a homer for him, but even I wouldn't draft him in the early fourth round. Keenan would be a bargain if he doesn't crumble to dust (he will). I feel like Tyreek will be exposed as a No. 1 WR, but he'll still bust enough huge plays to not be a total waste.

Yeah Gurley was legit bad last year and I don't buy the "he had no help" argument. Steven Jackson had poo poo O-lines for a decade and was still a rock-solid RB1. Gurley was part of the problem, not a helpless bystander.

Let's play a quick trivia game that means nothing but could mean a lot depending on where you plan on drafting a TE: Player A: 16 games, 132 targets, 83 catches, 840 yards, 7 touchdowns, overall TE3 per Pro Football Focus. Player B: 12 games, 89 targets, 66 catches, 686 yards, 6 touchdowns, overall TE9 per Pro Football Focus. Player A's ADP: 8.12 Player B's ADP: 4.08 Seems pretty obvious which one you'd rather have at their draft value, no? Player A: Kyle Rudolph Player B: Jordan Reed Drafting TEs on name recognition alone is a dangerous game y'all.

Get rid of mandatory TEs, use an WR/TE flex spot, draft Gronk and Kelce wherever the hell you want. There I just fixed fantasy football.

Gordon hasn't even applied for reinstatement (again, after getting it rejected in the spring) and the NFL is still dragging its feet on Martavis Bryant, whom people actually expect to be back. But sure, keep pinning your hopes on the flake who hasn't played meaningful football in THREE GODDAMN YEARS.

Ty1990 posted:Goons please make me feel better about this team I drafted that I feel lovely about. 12 team PPR keeper league (2RB 2WR and flex). I kept AB and Evans at the cost of my first and second round picks. RBs were *flying* off the board and instead of force feeding myself Bilal Powell or Spencer Ware I took guys like Kelce and Brees. You nailed your keeper picks and got "set and forget" starters at QB and TE, so that's a nice start. I also don't fault your draft strategy -- when an unexpected run happens, sometimes the smart play is to hang back and stick to your board, rather than panic-draft guys you're not inspired by just to fill out a position. People have cooled on Fat Rob and JStew as boring plodders getting pushed by rookies, but I think that's a bit overblown at the moment. Both guys should score enough goal-line plunges to be startable most weeks. Like others said, you have to beef up your RB depth, especially when JStew takes his annual 3-game injury absence. Ivory and Smallwood can be immediate cuts since they won't see the field any time soon. Keep Washington in your back pocket for if/when Marshawn breaks down, and troll the wire for any of those mythical young bucks overtaking vets in September. Overall, this lineup is more promising than you might realize. Work out the kinks early enough and you'll have an easy playoff team. Benne fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Aug 7, 2017 |

RVProfootballer posted:Doesn't change much. He was either getting tagged or moving next year anyway, that hasn't changed. One run heavy offense to another. Biggest issue is keeping healthy, not his supporting cast. Going from a decent-ish QB to complete loving garbage is ... probably not something you should overlook.

The year is 2050. America as we know it is gone, the land barren and desolate. Only pockets of humanity survive, hiding in caves dotted across the landscape.

Did a spur-of-the-moment Yahoo draft that I'm pretty on. I loaded up on WR2s in the middle rounds but that may have come at the expense of RB depth. Also couldn't resist some homer picks, Russ2Doug all day erry day. 10 teams, 0 PPR 1.07: LeSean McCoy 2.14: Doug Baldwin 3.27: Lamar Miller 4.34: DeAndre Hopkins 5.47: Michael Crabtree 6.54: Russell Wilson 7.67: Jarvis Landry 8.74: Bilal Powell (this was before Hackenberg poo poo the entire house and convinced me to avoid all Jets) 9.87: Frank Gore 10.94: DeVante Parker 11.107: Doug Martin 12.114 Eric Decker 13.127: Cameron Brate 14.134: Giants 15.147: Cairo Santos
