Are there roster limits? How does the scoring work? Dies if automatically calculate the top scorers at their position to fill out the starting lineup? Or it cumulative and just the total of everyone's drafted players is added on a weekly basis?

My first time doing one of these and gotta plan it right. :)

Really? I have my next 15 mapped out already.

I also don't think 7 was too bad a spot. I am honestly very happy with 11, because I feel like I am getting someone who is gonna be a boss. I wouldn't be surprised if I get two of my top four on the turn.

I think right around the mid third round is where things will get messy.

Also let's not all forget that it's loving May right now. Everything is unclear.

The first round will surely solidify as we get closer to when real drafts typically happen. That being said, your guesses now are probably just as valid as those guesses. heyooooooo

While I agree things will change on overall consensus, I disagree about it being unclear.

I think training camp will highlight which rookies are the flavor of the month and injuries will take certain guys off the board, but if you aren't making your own draft list, you are doing it wrong.

Having said that, everything after round five will be anarchy. :v:

EDIT:
Jordan Howard is the number four running back and I think he is closer to the top three than the rest of the class. This is pure homerism in me.

Jordy Nelson is a beast. I had him slightly over AJ and Mike Evans because I feel like they are more boom/bust, but I would've been happy with either.

I will admit to secretly hoping Gronk would fall to me. He's one of my favorite types of draft picks in the third or fourth round. Guh who dominates, but missed a season due to injury, so his value plummets.

It's a fair point. I liked Zeke last year, I just didn't like his ADP. The problem with evaluating rookies in fantasy is there are do many factors we don't know. Dumb coaching can really get in the way of talent, because "rookies gotta earn it" or some such bullshit.

My concerns weren't talent related, but opportunity. Jordan Howard is a perfect example of this. His numbers last year should've been way better, but bad coaching limited his opportunities.

But I tend to be more risk-averse with my first pick.

I'm glad you didn't, because I am not sure I would've grabbed McCoy and you made a very compelling argument for him. I used to love McCoy, but I have been down on him the past couple of years. I think I am seriously undervaluing him. I can't wait to check this out further.

Oh wow I completely spaced that you were the one to take Howard in the first. What's your case for him being a first rounder this year? That offense is completely barren aside from Howard and the idea of taking an RB on a team with one of the lowest projected win totals for 2017 seems incredibly risky to me.

I am a Bears fan. :v:

Truth be told, the Bears offensive problems were coaching related, not talent related. They have an underrated run blocking offensive line and were middle of the pack in offensive yards. Their problems came from one of the worst time of possession and turnover ratios in the league, coupled with a league high players on IR.

Sitton, Whitehair and Long might be one of the most talented interior lines in football. Massie sucks at pass protection, but he run blocks well.

And in regards to Howard himself, compare his numbers to Zeke. He did as much as Elliott on a per touch basis and didn't have the talent Elliott had around him. His only problem waa his coaches took to long to give him more opportunities.

3.06 pick 30 A A Ron Rod Gers

I'm usually not taking the first QB off the board, but I think mid 3rd round is fine for Rodgers. He's getting older and maybe has some injury risk, but I think he's a safer pick than the other QB options as far as safe throws and plenty of yards. I had planned to take Gronk or a good WR but the WR with the highest ADP left right now is Watkins and I'm worried about his foot.

I dunno. Maybe this is a big mistake. :shrug:

Maybe, maybe not. I think that is a reasonable spot for him. It is certainly the safest pick.

3.08 - Carlos Hyde

Depending on who you talk to this is either a steal or a disaster. I think it's a decent value. Shanahan really didn't make any major picks this offseason, and he has a history of making RBs perform extremely well. Given the other choices in this region I like his upside.

He was my next pick for this same reason. It's about the right spot for him.

3.11
Jarvis Landry is in a contract year and is consistently a PPR machine. I liked Davante Adams a bit more here, but I don't like having multiple receivers from the same team if I can help it.

4.02
Not sure if I reached here, but I didn't think he'd come back to me at five and I like him a lot this season. Cleveland invested heavily in their offensive line and I don't think he has a lot of competition at the position.

7.08 - CJ Anderson

Not sure how he fell this far, but I'm definitely not complaining. Last year he actually did fairly well in the weeks he played, working as a RB2 before getting hurt. Now the question becomes whether or not he's healthier than Jamaal Charles, and whether or not Denver's emphasis on the passing game will make him worthless. Tons of risk but tons of upside makes it a logical pick around this point in the draft.

He fell because I hate CJ Anderson. It's purely irrational on my part.

Kelvin Benjamin may be fat, but he's still a good receiver. At the very least, he should get me a few big games. I just felt he had the highest floor and ceiling of the receivers left.

Marcus Mariota is a pick I am unsure about. He was the last guy available in my tier and I was worried about another run at quarterbacks before my next pick. Frankly, I am worried I lost some value here.
