Can we set the keeper lock date to a few days before the draft so we have time to plan?

I recant my request.

Also, If you follow this one weird trick, you can win fantasy by a landslide.


Don't have more than 3 players on your roster worse than the top 20 on your roster.

Looks like a repeat isn't going to be as easy as I thought.

It means his team was stacked with players in the top 20 at their position. By my count, he had 12 players (out of 15) that were in the top 20 at their position.

You can't trade the auction bux, and I can't find a way to edit your auction budget so I can't do it manually. The only prices I can edit are keeper values.

You could probably get him for a steal at $10-15 this year

According to Bleacher Report's Jason Cole, suspended Browns WR Josh Gordon went to rehab two months ago.

Gordon's last reinstatement bid was denied but he's hoping his stint in rehab will win over Roger Goodell. Per Cole, Gordon is hoping to be reinstated by late September. Fantasy owners obviously can't count on that, but it does make Gordon an interesting stash at the end of drafts. The once-dominant 26-year-old hasn't played an NFL down since 2014. Aug 25 - 4:45 PM

I'm scared to look up how much the bot paid for these QBs

sourdough
Apr 30, 2012
Meh, Khal Tebow could've been better, could've been worse. I think I ended with $12 left over. Bench full of WR3/4s with upside, passable but not great RB3/4, so I really could've used that $12 to upgrade one of them to a safer RB2 or WR2. Mance Raiders sniped me on a few guys like Gore and Maclin that I thought would be non-sexy but nice depth.

I know some of you had sticker shock with the high end WRs, but I looked at who was available, and it was like Julio, Green, Dez, Hilton as "guaranteed" studs, then Hopkins, Cooks, Keenan Allen maybe, as a clear step below. Really shallow pool of high end WRs, and most teams still had $150+ budget left after securing 2 or 3 solid starter keepers. Hilton is going to end up being a steal once Luck comes back.

lol you got hosed pretty bad, but not by the QBs. $125 of your $147 remaining budget after keepers went to McCoy and Gronk.

Wow that was a loving WHIRLWIND! Had a blast and it was a very strange experience. A fair number of top picks, including OBJ on my team, were kept for sub 30 bucks and it took me a while to adjust to that. I was also torn between trying to get guys like Nixon/Dalvin Cook/etc at prices that didn't torpedo my team this year BUT were low enough that if they went off and became a top 10 RB, I could keep them for a value. Good times!

I went into the draft knowing I had a huge amount of house money, prepared to drop a ton on Julio and/or Green. I expected to get one at around $70, but it flew past that and I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for one player. In hindsight, I absolutely should have.

I did essentially get to keep Zeke for $17 cheaper, which allowed me to keep Reek for a cheap price. I have a ton of depth. And I snagged a couple of my breakout guys I was targeting.

All in all, I'd give myself like a C or C- for that draft.

I give the auto bot an F+ for blowing a wad of cash on Julio and spending a flat $0 on depth.

So come bye weeks, watch out for some depth trades
