I'm back to just give Kittle one last "push" towards believing in him on a year-to-year basis. I'm not sure why people forget he's great (basically always).

2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022. In standard he was, 2, 3, 4, 2 ranked, and in PPR he was 3, 2, 4, 3 ranked. This was for... a total of 16, 14, 14, and 15 games.

In 2020 he played 8 games and was still 19/20 in rankings.

Since he's become a "thing" in 2018... he's always top 4, except for that one time he was injured half the season.

I think the "feeling" about Kittle is far off from what he actually does. What he actually does is rule. Pick him and have a top 4 TE season, almost for sure.


Edit/Addendum: My wife does like to tell me I enjoy to swear at the TV about Kittle every week though, so... take my analysis here with a grain of salt. He does anger me a lot, on a week to week basis. I think it's largely because it only takes one big play for him to make your week a really good one... and you really really want that every play.

Yeah pretty much. Sometimes football is an rear end in a top hat and you lose 3 guys in the span of a week and you just need a warm body RIGHT NOW or you won’t be alive in week 15 when your rookie may or may not have rounded into form.

That said I’ve definitely learned my lesson on dropping guys too soon. I’ll try much harder to keep a high upside rookie these days than I did a few years ago.

I play in a couple leagues with shallow benches and it’s brutal. Makes it easier for casual players cause there’s always someone on waivers to solve any problem. But it’s impossible to stash anyone, as soon as byes or injuries hit you need every roster spot. I hate feeling like a guy is about to break out but literally not being able to add him cause there’s no bench spot available.

I’ve basically stopped being in leagues like these. Many stats/potential stars on waivers removes the scarcity problem and therefore much of the strategy.

I assume he’ll serve it asap weeks 1-3? That certainly doesn’t make him undraftable. Although he was simply not that good or involved in the game plan last year, and the Saints added 2 backs in the offseason. So I was already down on him to begin with.

Just stare at his raiders matchup from last year. Only look at it.

Solution: no votes on trades. Instant trades. Once I was in a league that did that (SA dynasty) I’ve managed to now only be in leagues that do that. I’d never go back to waiting two days and waiting for weird rationale for group vetoes. Trades are … agreements between the parties trading. Unless it’s obvious collusion or some weird poo poo going on (often hard to show/prove anyway), all trades shouldn’t be group decisions, based on hurt feelings or whatever.

Yeah Kelce I'm not very high on. I think he's TE1 for sure, but I also think waiting a round or two and going for Andrews is a better idea.

Honestly it's more of a contest between JJ/Chase or CMC. I am wary of CMC getting hurt yet again though.

It's incredible how fast everyone forgot that CMC is always injured. He's being drafted like he's ironman, all of a sudden.

Spoiler: He's not ironman.

I actually was able to enjoy his last season -- and he helped me win my first championship in years... but, I'm just being realistic... it's probably not happening again this year for him.

One team has a "bye" each week where they play against a dummy team (since Sleeper only does even numbers of teams). Record-wise, the bye will count as a tie. 14 weeks in the regular season means one team will get two byes but what can you do? This is the first year we've done 13, arrived at it accidentally when one long-time member bowed out and two previous members wanted back in.

This is the dummy team. Open to comedy options re: the roster, I mostly just picked randos

Just did an auction draft where we could keep "up to" four keepers. I'm sure glad i kept four, since my tentative drafting came through yet again.

$300 budget. 12 teams. My WRs are atrocious.
PPR. 1 point per "rushing first down", also. 6 point passing TDs.

QB: Jalen Hurts, kept (48)
RB: Austin Ekeler, kept (59)
RB: Nick Chubb, kept (46)
WR: George Pickens (15)
WR: Tyler Boyd (4)
WR: Hunter Renfrow (2)
TE: Evan Engram (9)
W/R/T: Travis Etienne, kept (22)
W/R/T: Dameon Pierce (33)
SUPERFLEX: Bryce Young (37)
K: Jason Sanders (2)

----
Bench
QB: Sam Howell (12)
RB: Jeff Wilson (2)
RB: Devon Achane (6)
RB: Chuba Hubbard (2)
RB: Tank Bigsby (4)
RB: Deon Jackson (2)
RB: Josh Kelley (2)
RB: Isaiah Spiller (1)
RB: Leonard Fournette (2)
WR: Zay Jones (2)
WR: Darius Slayton (3)
WR: Jalin Hyatt (6)
WR: Jarvis Landry (1)

-----
The first down point for rushing makes a huge difference. It makes RBs like Chubb, Pierce, Ekeler so valuable. PPR makes Ekeler even more valuable. Jalen Hurts is a machine in this setting. I imagine Bryce Young will be too. However... I just about guarantee I'll be trading an RB or three for some WR action. I seem to usually overlook WR, but this is as bad as it has been for me.

I really like you, so I'm going to be blunt: In a PPR where you can start 5 wrs and you are strong at RB, rostering just 7 WRs total vs 7 bench RBs is not going to give you the gas you need down the stretch. Ditch those RBs for WR depth.

I like the bluntness. One other thing to note though is… receiving yards are capped in terms of value. Rushing yards are at 0.1 per and receiving at 0.07.

So it’s … sort of nuanced.
