Since this thread is getting a bit of activity I figured I'd post some of my thoughts along the same lines. I have a startup dynasty draft Saturday and have never done a dynasty draft before. I've been listening to a bunch of podcasts from the first post to kind of prepare (CBS ff, fantasy footballers, 4for4, the audible). My biggest takeaway has been that you want players who are going to provide value for as long as possible. So Michael Gallup at 24 years old has a bit more value even though he'll be in a crowded situation this year. I think it might also help to think about what you want your strategy to be in the draft. I've been thinking I may lean more towards established players and try to go for a win this year or next and trust myself to repair my team and get younger after that window. I'm going to do this because I think a good portion of my league will probably be going too far in the opposite direction and be extremely focused on the younger players. I draft 7 out of 12 and I'm hoping for one of the top 5 rb's or Michael Thomas. We're in Wisconsin so it's possible Davante Adams goes too early. I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get an rb or thas. I guess tyreek hill. Then pick 18 almost has to be a rb like Derrick Henry, miles Sanders or Josh jacobs or one of the rookies. I might just let round 3 come to me, whoever is the best value and then 4 I'm hoping for someone older to fall a Julio or Kelce/Kittle maybe? Those would all be pretty big falls based on production but they're older so I think it may happen in my league. Sorry for rambling this helped me solidify some of my thoughts. Take from it what you can.

Totally fair. I very well just may end up winging it. In a normal redraft league I don't try and plan things out generally so this is the first time I've tried to put more effort into it. And I only just found out I had pick 7 a day ago. Edit: I think my thought process can be simplified by saying I will likely try and get 2 rb's in the first 3 rounds and I likely will feel like there's more value at WR at #7. After that you're probably correct and it'll all be a crap shoot Artonos fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Jun 3, 2020 |

Thanks for letting me post things out earlier this week. 12 team dynasty startup 0.5 ppr. 2 rb's, 3 wr, 1 te and 1 flex I ended up with: Dak Kamara Miles Sanders JuJu Tyler lockett TY Hilton Mark Ingram Hunter Henry Then a bunch of decent to good wr's that I hope one or two can hit well this year. Marvin Jones, John Brown, James Washington, Michael Gallup, Emmanuel Sanders, Tee Higgins, Mike Gesicki It's funny how I'm already super hyped for football in June after doing this draft. It can't come soon enough. Artonos fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Jun 8, 2020 |

I assume I just got a real good deal but wanted to check. I'm in a dynasty league with 0.5 ppr and then a 0.5 the premium on top of it. I did Michael Gallup, Hunter Henry and a 2022 3rd for Travis Kelce. For other content I really believe in cam this next year. He's had a ton of time to heal and I think he's going to come back and be used intelligently by belicheck.

I didn't chime in because I agreed with a lot of what you said. Narrowing it down, Gesicki, jonnu, hunt, Boston Scott (real late), and miles sanders, mclaurin, Marvin Jones, thielen, lockett, and 100% agreement with your qb's and Goff.

I kinda like Darrynton Evans for the same kind of literally last pick dart throw mindset in a ppr league. Could be the ying to Henry's yang as they try not to destroy Henry's body after signing him to a contract. Edit: Actually AJ Dillon might be a better candidate. The Packers have kind of signalled that they don't want to resign Aaron Jones for next year. So he has a very good shot at being the starter going forward.

I'd lean Ingram/Ryan. Matt Ryan is always going to have crazy volume and he should have the best weapons that he has had in a while this year. Ingram likely keeps the starting role most of the year due to continuity and Dobbins not being quite ready yet.

If I'm remembering the stats right his goal line touches didn't go down and it was just that they weren't able to score when close during the back half of the season. Mark me down as another Chubb believer.

I'd definitely go Kamara over CEH. He's so much more proven and we are pretty sure CEH will have a big role. But we're 100% sure Kamara does have a big role in running and passing. CEH won't return pick 5 value if something even as simple as not being the red zone back happens.

So thread consensus is that I should still take him at #4 in my half ppr league that's drafting tonight? I've been pretty nervous about cook this whole off-season and it feels bad to be worried about who I was planning on taking.

Alshon Jeffery is my first instinct. He'll likely get plenty of targets when he comes back and he isn't drafted til pretty late. Edit: Deebo probably has more upside.

If they keep Rojo, McCoy, fournette, and Vaughn on the roster it's going to be hard to predict fantasy relevance for very long during this year. If they cut McCoy and it's more clear but it's still going to be a split. I would still be wary of fournette. So I wouldn't bother reworking your cap unless you really need a rb.

I just wouldn't drop anyone else who is a high upside flier for fournette. He isn't worthless but his upside is limited by all the other backs. So I'd rather keep some boom or bust guys on your roster over him. By all means take a shot, but I wouldn't give up on a different shot for him if that makes sense.

I kind of assumed that if fournette is on waivers it isn't a very deep league. That might have been the wrong assumption.

I'll put my cards on the table I didn't really think through the sequence of how things would work in a salary cap dynasty league. Yeah he's probably worth something then. I just started playing in a dynasty league this year. And between corona limiting other hobbies and the dynasty league I've dove a bit deeper into fantasy football, but before this year I only ever had done redraft stuff. I'm probably the last person who should be commentating on dynasty roster management since I can barely figure out how I want to play my own team.

Party Boat posted:Just received a trade request offering Jordan Howard for Antonio Gibson. It looks like Howard is the stronger player on paper with the big caveat that Gibson is a lottery ticket, especially with AP gone. Is that a fair assessment? Gibson is way ahead of Howard. I wouldn't do that, especially when you've got 2 strong rb's.

Scantlings ceiling is probably mediocre wr2. James Conner is likely not going to be resigned after this year due to the cap situation of Pittsburgh. If you can I'd wait and see how that situation pans out.

I wouldn't drop Gesicki at this point for someone like Evans. Evans likely won't be used too much early on in the season. If shenault is available then I'd maybe go for him. Don't hesitate to drop whoever looks like they're getting less usage after week 1 to pick up someone on the waiver wire though. In that second league Parris Campbell probably has the most likely amount of usage early on in the season and I'd probably think about grabbing him.

Pain of Mind posted:Is it worth dropping one of those players to try and grab one? Ideally hoping that one of the later drafted RB (Dobbins or Collins) and one of the WR are worth keeping (5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th round in order). I'd drop Dillon for Hines definitely and maybe Brown. Hines is only 23 so he's still super young. Hines will be a receiving back in the NFL for a long time. The Packers are apparently in negotiations with Jones (which makes no sense because they spent a 2nd on Dillon). But they also have Jamaal Williams which they kinda like.

Reagor is already getting deep targets. Aiyuk will probably see decent volume but when little and Deebo come back he will see less looks probably. I'd feel more comfortable with reagor personally.

Quiet Feet posted:$46 and $25 for Mike Davis in two different leagues 51 for Mike Davis in my 14 team league. And someone else bid 50 and 45. There's going to be more injuries there's only been two weeks. I feel good not getting him and preserving my waiver dollars for later in the year. Edit: I say that as someone who hasn't had any rb's get hurt though haha. A bit of a different situation for others I'm sure! Artonos fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Sep 23, 2020 |

The hope is that he turns into a lesser Stefon Diggs from last year. The Vikings only really use 2 wr sets. So if he is #2 he's on the field a lot.

MVS is going to continue to be the over the top threat on the Packers and every few games he'll get a deep ball and return above value. But the flip side is him and Rodgers won't always connect on that deep ball every game and he will just end up with 4-6 points.

So Fitzpatrick was my replacement for Dak in a dynasty league. I just got offered josh Allen for Dak and two 3's. I don't know if I should counter down to 1 3rd or what :/ I'm 6-0 in the league but there's like 4 other teams who are real good too. And I'm not sure if I should try and win this year or in the next couple when Dak returns. Single qb league, but the only other qb I've got is Foles.
