The Giants do not have a "stacked" offensive roster. They have a WR1 who is coming back from injury and appears to also be a headcase/suspension risk. They have an ancient QB who is 4-5 years past his prime. And they have Engram, who is very good. Everyone else is a JAG or worse.

Both Bell and Zeke are facing likely yearlong bans if they have any more off the field issues, whereas Davod Johnson appears to be an angel. I think they are both past that stuff, but it's still a non-zero risk.

Draft for my main league was last night and I was helping run it so I got to spend zero time between picks looking at stuff or even hunting for sleepers.

How boned am I?

12 Team .5 PPR Keeper League
QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, RB/WR/TE

1st: Bell - Keeper
2nd: M. Thomas
3rd: x
4th: Collins - Keeper
5th: D. Thomas
6th: E. Engram
7th: Big Ben
8th: x
9th: E. Sanders
10th: Jamaal Williams
10th: Cooper Kupp
10th: CJ Anderson
11th: Aaron Jones
12th: Jared Goff
13th: Chargers D/ST
14th: Theo Riddick
15th: Matt Breida
16th: Tyrell Williams

Where are your 3rd and 8th round picks? Lost due to the keepers??

Having DT and Sanders as your WR2 options is strange and will be frustrating for you unless Denver turns into some type of surprise offensive juggernaut. If one or the other has a big game in the early season, trade him.

The Big Ben pick was ghastly. He does have a good playoff schedule though (if you get there)

Your bench is full of guys who will not be startable unless there are injuries on the depth chart ahead of them.

There's little to like here, unfortunately. :(

I feel like Kittle and RSJ are unlikely to be drafted.


Titans had a questionable passing game because of that bullshit "exotic smashmouth" approach that is now dead. Taylor seems to have more first-team reps that anyone else, but is he really going to outperform Corey Davis?

I have no loving clue.

FWIW Kittle was undrafted in my 12 teamer the other day, and I live in NorCal. His lack of name recognition and apparent brittleness has him totally off the radar.

I would add Ekeler if possible. I know there are mixed feelings about handcuffing butI think its important when you have big benches and when the handcuff would clearly be at least an RB2 if the main guy got hurt.

I really like DJ over Zeke right now and I have DT/JuJu as a push (I'm really low on DT and like Sanders a lot better). I'm initiating the trade and the other guy seems open to it. Thoughts?

Seems fine. Trade for the players you like!

Trubisky has no role on your team since Cam is an every week starter.. Drop him for another RB. Other than that it looks good.

FAAB is fairest, but can be scary for noobs and casuals.

Continuous rolling list is second best.

Reverse order of standings is terrible because it rewards failure and, in extreme cases, outright tanking.

Don't ask me how people let me get this team but I am wondering who to cut for a kicker and defense.

1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/1Flex/K/DST .5ppr 10 teams yahoo normal scoring for the rest.

Todd Gurley
Keenan Allen
Travis Kelce
Christian McCaffrey
Mike Evans
Doug Baldwin
Lesean McCoy
Dion Lewis
Tevin Coleman
Corey Davis
Ben Roethlisberger
Andrew Luck
Rashaad Penny
Kenny Stills
Pierre Garcon

I am thinking Garcon and Stills but I am worried about being too shallow in WR in a 3 WR league.

Normally I wouldn't bother to roster a backup QB in a 10 teamer, but Big Ben is almost useless in road games so I think its OK to have Luck too for matchups.

I would drop both Stills and Penny.

pretty happy with it.

Having Marvin and Golladay might drive you crazy. On the other hand, if one or the other gets hurt, you're golden.

Seattle's defense will be a shell of what it was before. Lose it and stream defenses.

All the rest of that is very good. I love Tyreek in no-PPR, and you might have 3 RB1s!

I ended up with this team in a 12 team PPR league after doing basically zero research before the draft. Picked 7th. Anything in general I should look to shore up?



Sproles was my last pick and was basically because I didn't really know who was worth picking at that point.

The Breida news is pretty nice though, almost picked Morris earlier in the draft but decided to wait and take Breida instead like three rounds later.

This team is a PPR powerhouse. You should be thrilled. You might want to start Goodwin over Woods most weeks, but probably not in Week 1 at Minn.

Like...I drafted other running backs for a reason. Why should I pick up James Conner and assume that he'll be better than flexing Marquis Goodwin or something?

I don't get it. It's not like Pittsburgh has this brilliant offensive line, Bell is the talent.

Because if Bell is not there, he is the unquestioned starter in a good offense?

Strange question.

This is not that complicated. He is a starting running back for somewhere between 1-10 weeks. That is worth much more than the worst player on your bench.

A guy in my league needs to drop either Garcon or Jimmy G (his worst 2 players) to fill his last defensive player slot.

I was thinking of offering him a late 2019 pick for one of them, since he will surely do that rather than dropping them for nothing.

Would you drop anyone off this team for either of them? And which one should I target? It's a 0.5 PPR league.



Is rather have G than Cohen in that spot since you can use G when Big Ben is on the road, where he sucks. Cohen is your RB6 and would probably never be used.

No one is going to trade you anything for a guy who is out 2-6 weeks. At least, nothing that you would want in a 10 team league.

The Niners secondary other than Sherman has been pretty terrible. Ahkello Witherspoon looks like someone who has never played DB before. If you want to sell Mahomes that's fine, but I would bet that if you wait until this time next week you'll be able to get even more for him.
