10 Team/PPR

How'd I do?

QB: Stafford
RB: Taylor
RB: Conner
WR: D. Johnson
WR: Sutton
TE: Kelce
Flex: Dobbins
D/ST: Cowboys
K: Carlson
Bench: Metcalf, JuJu, Penny, Carr, Claypool, D. Harris, Tolbert

I like it

12 team, non-PPR.

QB: Hurts
RB: CMAC, Montgomery
WR: Diggs, Allen, Jeudy
TE: Kittle
K: Carlson
D: Dallas

Bench: Henderson, Sanders, Hopkins, Gallup, McKenzie, Okwuegbonam

I like it! Our teams are similar, not much bench depth early in the season though.

12 team PPR, picked from the 7 spot

QB: Lance
RB: Cook
RB: Chase Edmonds
WR: Stefon Diggs
WR: Keenan
TE: Waller
FLEX: Courtland Sutton

Bench: Rashod Bateman, Rhomandre Stevenson, Melvin Gordon, JD Mckissic, Cole Kmet

I think it's solid. Obviously there is some risk in signing up for the Trey Lance Experience, but that is what makes Fantasy Football fun! If Lance is a hit, your team can challenge for the title. If he's a miss, then you have to be comfortable streaming QBs off the waiver wire.

I am also very curious to see how the Denver situation plays out this year. It seems like most people believe that Sutton, Jeudy, Javonte, Russ, and Albert O are all gonna pop off this year. It will be interesting to see who outperforms and who disappoints. I guess that's why they play the game!

Final draft complete! This is the Office league and the draft was much more serious than I expected. There weren't any glaring errors. Here are the results:

ESPN 12-team league
1.0 PPR, 4 pts per Passing TD
QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, Flex, K, D/ST, Bench x 6, IR
Drafted 2nd (11th on the turn)

QB: T. Brady
RB: C. McCaffrey, A. Jones, T. Pollard, M. Carter, J. McKinnon
WR: M. Pittman Jr., A. St. Brown, M. Brown (Hollywood), C. Olave, M. Gallup, I. McKenzie
TE: D. Schultz
K: D. Hopkins (LA Chargers)
D/ST: Cincinnati

Thought through a couple of different scenarios with 1.02, but kept it simple and went with CMC after JT went 1st. Really wanted Andrews, Kelce, Conner, or Barkley at the end of Round 2, but all were off the board, so went with Aaron Jones over Javonte, though I struggled with that decision. Followed up with Pittman at 3.02, which is a bit of a reach, but really like his upside with Matt Ryan replacing Wentz. Otherwise, pretty happy with my roster, though a tad light at RB. I have several players in both of my fantasy leagues (Brady, Pollard, ARSB, Hollywood, Olave, McKenzie, Schultz, Cincinnati). Wanted Zamir White as a next-to-last round RB flier, but got sniped a couple of picks ahead of me so went with McKinnon, who will probably be my first drop if a better option presents itself on waivers after Week 1.

10th pick in a 12-team, standard scoring league. 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 1 Def, 1 K

Draft requires 2 QBs, 3 RBs, 3 WR, 2 TE, 2 K, 2 D before drafting additional player at whatever position owner wants, which puts some restrictions on loading up on one position. Also requires wasting draft picks on players that are going to be dropped ASAP in the form of extra K and Def. Anyway, draft results:

Brady
J Taylor (keeper, counted as 4th round pick)
D Swift
J Jefferson
AJ Brown
C Kmet
C. Sutton (flex)
M. Prater
Bucs D

Bench: T Lance, E Mitchell, G Pickens, B Robinson (drafted not knowing he was shot on Sunday), G Everett, Y Koo, Titans

Looking at RB and WR positions to add depth to bench. Will drop Koo and Titans D to add depth. Thoughts?

Here's mine.. it's a 2QB league. 12 teams:

QB1: Justin Herbert
QB2: Jameis Winston
RB: Aaron Jones
RB: Ezekiel Elliott
WR: Deebo Samuel
WR: Mike Williams
WR: Courtland Sutton
TE: Pat Freimuth
DEF: Saints (I normally stream defenses)
K: Ryan Succop

Bench:

Michael Carter
Daryl Singletary
Kenneth Walker
Chris Godwin
Skyy Moore
Tyler Higbee
Robert Woods

I love Sutton this year. Should get lots of TDs between Jefferson and Brown as well. Great RB duo.

Nice team.

This team is insane. You have the RB1 and WR1...I am super high on AJ Brown and the Eagles too.

Who is out there on waivers?

10 team nonppr (1st time playing stupid 10team in a while)

QB: Allen
RB(2): Henry, Kamara, Dobbins, AGibson, KWalker, Mattison
WR(3): Deebo, DK, MThomas, Devonta, Claypool, Hardman
Flx(1)
TE: Goedert
K: McPherson
D: Bucs

Thanks! I was pretty happy with it overall but might have missed a couple of opportunities in the early rounds. Could have picked D Cook over J Jefferson and then picked up J Chase on the return between rounds 1 & 2 with the way everything played out. But, there wasn't a guarantee either Jefferson or Chase would have been around in R 2 so I went for the stud WR in the first round knowing I already had Taylor in my pocket. Had AJ Brown a couple of years ago and I think he's going to have a big year in Philly. I like Hurts as a QB1 but he wasn't available by the time I was looking QB so I had to settle for the GOAT. If Swift can play an injury-free season, he could end up being a good value even as a second-rounder. I think Detroit will be improved in their second year with Dan Campbell and Goff at QB. I'm also looking forward to see what Sutton can finally do with a good QB. He has WR1 potential.

As far as waivers, there are plenty of back-ups and WR3/4 types available. Spiller is out there but I'm not convinced he is going to be the guy to spell Ekeler. Zamir White, A Abdullah, Mostert, Allgeier, Michael Carter, D Henderson to name a few RBs. WR probably doesn't have as much out there as RB but still see names like Julio Jones, Landry, Boyd, C Davis, Golladay, Callaway and K Toney are available off waivers.

Live draft tomorrow night (10 team PPR, 5th pick).

I haven't had the mid-pick in a while...typically top 3 or last 3.
My first pick will more than likely be RB in order to get a top 5 RB.

I've played with these guys for a while now and they know how to draft well, so not expecting any "out of place" picks. What's the strategy from here? Should 2nd and 3rd be RB, WR? How long do I wait for a TE?

What platform are you drafting on?

It is interesting to see where guys fall depending on the ADP/rankings on different sites.

On ESPN, you can get D'Andre Swift, Alvin Kamara, or Joe Mixon in the second pretty often and in the third guys like Saquon and Fournette are hanging around.

I went Jefferson at 5 overall, then Swift and Barkley...I love that start.

I think TE in the fourth is worth it if you can snag Pitts...I don't love him in the third given the other value there and am kind of hesitant on MAndrews this year.

It's a live in person draft, so no real platform to follow outside of material we bring in. I tend to used Beersheets, it's been a GREAT source.

In regards to TE, I had looked at Goedert in later rounds rather than grab a TE early. Is there that big of a difference in Goedert and Pitts to sacrifice a round 4 pick?

Honestly, I don't dislike either move.

I think there is that big of a difference between Goedert and Pitts. Pitts won't have to compete with AJ Brown and Devonta Smith for targets, Pitts also is much more talented...consider this, he basically had the best rookie TE season ever and only scored one touchdown. With some touchdown regression and a year-two leap, Pitts is going to explode. However, I would be fine missing out on Pitts to bolster RB/WR depth in the third and fourth. I like Goedert a lot in the later rounds...I was targeting him in my main draft, but someone sniped him.

Here's mine, 12 team PPR league 20 round draft (we're cutting to 15 next year).

#3 pick in the draft, went BPA for PPR for the first 3 rounds and I'm kind of shocked I actually got Ekeler, Kelce and Evans

After that did a focus on RB then WR then Starting QB then backup TE

QBs (got a few extra backups since I have the bench space, and I'm not 100% sold on Hurts)
Jalen Hurts
Trey Lance
Trevor Lawerence
Davis Mills

RB
Austin Ekeler
Breece Hall
AJ Dillon
JK Dobbins
Gus Edwards

WR
Mike Evans
Darnell Mooney
Drake London
Treylon Burks
Christian Watson

TE
Travis Kelce
Noah Fant
Robert Tonyan
OJ Howard

K
Blankenship

D
Cowboys

10 team half PPR. I kept JaMarr Chase and Mike Evans costing me my 3rd and 4th round picks. I pick 6th.

I have to go RB/RB right?

10 Team PPR
QB: Dak, Cousins
RB: Ekeler, Swift, Jacobs, Sanders
WR: AJ Brown, Sutton, Cooks, Lazard, Olave
TE: Pitts
K: Prater
D/ST: Tampa Bay

quick note...if Mike Davis went undrafted in your league...he's probably starting for the Ravens on Sunday vs. the Jets

I like it, it's a solid roster. I would just keep an eye on Lazard. It's so unclear right now where the vacated targets from DeVante Adams are going to go. Lazard could absolutely be the #1 option, but there is a possibility that one of the other receivers takes that role and Lazard ends up with the same number of targets as last year.

Keep Barkley as a 2nd, Pittman Jr as an 11th, or Gabe Davis as a last round pick?

10 Team 0.1 PR
QB Dak/Cousins
RB Taylor/Chubb/Akers/Harris
WR Samuel/Allen/D Moore/Waddle/E Moore/Lockett
TE Knox
K Joseph
Def Packers

Yeah, Lazard is my WR3 right now with Woods/Burks waiting in the wings as backups. Don't see Cobb or Watkins doing anything at all. The two WRs they drafted are hurt (Watson) or in Rodger's dog-house (Doubs), so for the first several weeks I don't see them rising to the occasion.

Similar paradox in KC with Hill gone.

There's some lottery ticket out there for a decent WR3 at the very least.

12 team, 0.5 PPR, I had pick #6 - 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, K, Def, 7 bench

D. Henry
L. Fournette
K. Pitts
J. Herbert
DK. Metcalf
C. Edwards-Helaire
J. Jeudy
C. Patterson
C. Kirk
B. Aiyuk
T. Tagovailo
C. Claypool
G. Wilson
I. Spiller
Chiefs Def
N. Folk

I think Pittman as an 11th is the best value and there's a chance Saquon gets back to you in the second.

10 Team PPR; 1 QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex; picked in the 8th spot

Normally wait till late to get a QB, but used a different (and very different) approach this time:

Dalvin Cook - RB
Alvin Kamara - RB
Mike Evans - WR
Kyle Pitts - TE
Allen Robinson - WR
Matthew Stafford - QB
Aaron Rodgers - QB
Chase Edmonds - RB
Clyde Edwards Helair - RB
Darnell Mooney - WR
Devonta Smith - WR
Chris Olave - WR
Austin Hooper - TE
Mark Ingram - RB
Rondale Moore - WR

I have a 10 team PPR draft tonight. I'm going 8th/ 13th for 1st n 2nd. I'm expecting the top 4-5 RBs gone and top 1-2 WRs gone before my 8th pick, so I should be taking whomever is left out of Najee, Derek Henry, or Kupp? At 13, maybe Devante Adams will be there based on rankings?


who are the prime Rookie WRs to target in middle and later rounds over vets?

10 team PPR league. Had the 6th pick and somehow had CMC and Ekler available to choose from. Really happy with my team and feel like I've got a lot of strong bench guys if needed to play or trade bait.
QB - L. Jackson
RB - CMC, Saquon, A Gibson, M. Gordon, A. Mattison, J. Cook
WR - Diggs, Waddle, Sutton, Thielen, Bateman, MVS
TE - Pitts
D - Colts

PPR: Ja'Marr Chase, D'Andre Swift, Najee Harris, or Travis Kelce as 1st round #8?

No still photography allowed in the locker room and he didn’t talk today, but Aaron Rodgers is wearing a “Rodgers/Lazard ‘23 MAKE GREEN BAY GREAT AGAIN” T-shirt.

Wow, I would guess JT went #1, both Kupp and JJ went top 5, plus Henry and/or Chase and/or 1 of the TEs? The injury risk fear is real in drafts, especially in the 1st round, to the point where people will pass on massive upside to avoid an "injury prone" player.
