If he offered you Pierce, take it asap.

But also, why not grab Deon while JT is on pup?

Reports are Zack Moss is the starter. I have him right now.

Ah ok. I thought moss had a broken arm or something.

Had some kind of surgery, but everything says he might be back week one. Original injury they said 4-6 weeks to return.

Thoughts on Mark Andrews for Josh Jacobs?

Thoughts on Mark Andrews for Josh Jacobs?

Context is always needed...

In a vacuum, give me Jacobs though! Would need some really good context for me to want Andrews instead of the beast that is Jacobs.

My team:
QB: Herbert
RBs: JT, JK, Antonio. Gibson, Damien Harris, Kendre Miller, Zack Moss, Jeff Wilson Jr.
WRs: Jjettas, Keenan, Aiyuk, Drake London, Jahan Dotson, Skyy Moore, Jordan Addison, Rashod Bateman
TE: MAndrews
K: None at the moment
DST: Washington

I am obviously very nervous about my RB situation...a part of me thinks it may be fine to just role into the season with the positional advantages I have at QB, WR (we have two flexes, so I can start four), and TE and pray that JT comes back and plays.

Oh you have Andrews? Yes if you can get Jacobs for Andrews straight up do it ASAP. Especially with that roster.

Zachary Klement said:

---

He sent the offer to me so he should be asking himself that question lol

I'm still hesitant…if I knew JT would be back week 4, I wouldn't do a thing…the uncertainty sucks.

---

huh? assuming you can start more than one RB you have to take that deal, you have nothing that will make you competitive outside of your top 2

if the other guy really wanted Andrews.. why didn't he just draft him over Jacobs

D Pierce went with pick 11 in round 2 of our 12 team ppr draft. I was gonna pick him early fourth round but no. There are a lot of questions everywhere about Most RBs but we should know some of it by week 2. I had Taylor last year so never again. He may not play at all since Indy will be tanking by week 5

Waiver moves in the first 6 weeks will be key this year. There will be undrafted guys who will be key players by mid season.

Dolphins RB Jeff Wilson, Jr. has been placed on injured reserve, meaning he’s out for the first four games of the season.

Bigger opportunity for Raheem Mostert and Devon Achane to play prominent roles early in the season.

— Field Yates (@FieldYates) August 31, 2023

Worth keeping an eye on Dolphins backfield early in the season. Mostert will have a chance to seize the RB1 role with JWJ out the first four games. Otherwise, once Mostert, JWJ, and Achane are all healthy, they all might split touches fairly equally. Or, the Dolphins may eventually figure out a way to pry JT from Indy. Or, they are simply a pass heavy offense, increasing the ceiling for Hill, Waddle, and Tua T.

incentive for MIA to come back around and offer more for JT this time

i don't want to do it too early, but I do want to draft JT and then promptly put him in my IR spot for the first four weeks to see what happens there.

Just finished up my last draft:
QB: Justin Fields
RB: Bijan
RB: Rhamondre
WR: GWill
WR: Drake London
TE: MAndrews
FLEX: JK Dobbins
D/ST: Washington
K: Tyler Bass

Michael Pittman
Jordan Addison
JSN
Elijah Moore
Zach Charbonnet
Achane
Tank Bigsby

Did Rhamondre or Mark Andrews fall to the 4th round? Whichever one it was was a steal

guessing Andrews, I just took Rhamondre bottom of 3rd just cus best avail even though I went Chubb and Barkley near the 1st turn

Cooper Kupp setback with hammy might change a lot of 1st round ADPs now

12 team PPR. How early is ok for Bijan or kelce?

Kelce won't make it past round one. Bijan might, but will get taken in round two for sure.

12 team PPR. How early is ok for Bijan or kelce?

---

Kelce is ranked #6 or 7 overall in most rankings, but his ADP is around 5 in most rankings. I would only question someone taking Kelce too early if they pass on JJ, Chase, or CMC for Kelce in the top 3 and maybe Ekeler at 4 overall. I wouldn't fault anyone for taking Kelce over Tyreek or Kupp at 5 overall.

If you take Kelce at 5, your second pick is 20 overall and in ppr rankings, that should still net you an ARSB or a Henry or Jacobs possibly based on some rankings and ADPs, especially if someone in your league jumps the gun and takes a Mahomes before you in rd2.


Bijan Mustardson: I'm not sure when is too early him in ppr. FantasyPros has him ranked #14 overall for PPR, but his ADP is at around 8.5. If he goes 9th in your league, that means someone took him over Stefon Diggs, Nick Chubb, CeeCee Lamb... and I just don't know about that. Seems too early for me.

MAndrews was in the fourth round...this was the lone ESPN league I am in, their
ranks are so screwed.

Picks with commentary.

1 pt PPR 10 Team League -Couple Weeks Ago
(4) Travis Kelce (KC - TE) - 1st pick was JJ, 2nd was Mahomes, 3 was CMC. Tough to not to take Ekeler here, but I like to try and find the break out RBs in later rounds or off waiver wire during the year. Wanted Kelce on at least one FF team.
(17) Davante Adams (LV - WR) - 1 pt PPR, hopefully Jimmy G gets it done.
(24) Joe Mixon (Cin - RB) - I like Mixon here for not taking an RB until rd 3 pretty happy here. Pretty much one of the fee true lead backs.
(37) Calvin Ridley (Jax - WR) - Rolling the Dice. Has looked sharp so far.
(44) Jerry Jeudy (Den - WR) - Rolling Dice here. Regretting a not taking a high end QB or better RB here. With his latest hamstring issue, don't have a good feeling.
(57) Dak Prescott (Dal - QB) - My wife is still ribbing me about this. Kind of an impulse reach. It seems to be do or die for him this year. Definite upgrade at WR with Cooks, and hopefully Gallup is sharper with more time from his injury.
(64) Alexander Mattison (Min - RB) - He's been in the system, they seem to have confidence in him.
(77) Tyler Lockett (Sea - WR) - Getting old, but has been pretty automatic for 1,000 yd seasons.
(84) Rachaad White (TB - RB) - My league is 1 pt ppr, so I'm hopping a lot of check downs from Baker M.
(97) Kirk Cousins (Min - QB) - I may stream him and Dak depending on match ups. I'm also going to keep an eye on Kenny Pickett.
(104) Brandin Cooks (Dal - WR) - Down year in Houston last year, but has a huge potential with his move to Dallas
(117) Elijah Mitchell (SF - RB) - Basically a Handcuff to C McCaffrey, Tyler Allgeier is on waivers. Really thinking of a swap here. His injury history is concerning.
(124) De'Von Achane (Mia - RB) - Dropped for Tank B.
Last pick was defense. I'm rolling Jax in both leagues. They play KC in week 2, so really only a week 1 stream. They play Indy. No JT, and Anthony Richardson has only had 13 starts since highschool? He is a crazy good athelete and may get there, but that is a big ask. Only downside is game is in Indy. Divisional game though.


0.5 pt PPR 10 Team League - Last Night
(2) Ja'Marr Chase (Cin - WR) - Was driving, had to pull over and let my wife take over to draft from my phone. Just got on as draft started, didn't overthink this one.
(19) Patrick Mahomes (KC - QB) - Wife was ribbing me about taking Dak and said to take Mahomes. I said if he comes up in Rd 2 I'll bite since who knows. He did, here I am.
(22) Josh Jacobs (LV - RB) - Very happy to get him in Rd. 3. Back at practice, not much behind him on the roster.
(39) Dameon Pierce (Hou - RB) - Seems like another safe pick for rd. 4.
(42) Tyler Lockett (Sea - WR) - Have Tyler in both leagues, should have a nice floor. On like his 4th or 5th 1k seasons in a row.
(59) Jahan Dotson (Was - WR) - Ha, total reach here. I was looking up where he was on the board. Then my turn came up on me. Didn't see anyone that jumped out, time running out, so just took him. Could have waited a couple rounds, With McLaurin getting turf toe I could see Dotson having a great year 2.
(62) Rachaad White (TB - RB) - Like above, with 0.5 ppr. Hoping for check downs, he has a history of catching them.
(79) George Pickens (Pit - WR) - Possible breakout in year 2 with Kenny getting better.
(82) Deshaun Watson (Cle - QB) - I always take two decent QBs (the one year I took only Brady he went down in game 1 for the season). A bit of gamble here, but I expect him to be much better then when he came in the end of last year. He wasn't able to practice with the team, etc. With a full offseason, seems like a good shot. Maybe becoming good trade bait. Shows one of the best fantasy strength of schedules.
(99) Jamaal Williams (NO - RB) - Obviously probably a starter with Kamara out. I still like him getting a good share of work and goal line.
(102) David Njoku (Cle - TE) - Well didn't take Kelce in this league, so had to make a pick. Hoping with Watson back on track he surprises.
(119) Brandin Cooks (Dal - WR) - Have him in both leagues. Has been solid so many years, hard to see him not getting his typical 1k.
(122) Chigoziem Okonkwo (Ten - TE) - Possible break out year. I didn't draft a kicker, so this might be my drop. Should gets lots of additional playing time with other guys moving on.
(139) Tyler Allgeier (Atl - RB) - I like some sleeper/handcuff RBs. Tank is still out on the WW. But figure I split the difference with each league see how it goes
(142) Jacksonville (Jax - DEF) - See above. Indy is a mess right now. Another good week 1 defense could be Wash at home vs Arz

Haha, you sound like the Yahoo report card chat bot! I'll post my final rosters end of year results for comparison. Not afraid to eat crow if necessary.

solid first 4 rounds for both teams, then team 2 had baad reaches for the next 4, esp with players you got multiple rds later in the 1st league where they'd have more value

how in the world did Pat Mahomes go #2 overall in your first league and then you picked him 19 overall near top of 3rd round in your other league? How was Josh Jacobs still available at 22 overall in that league? I don't see Jacobs making it past 18 in either of my leagues that haven't drafted yet, and I know no one is taking QBs that early in the 3rd in at least one of my leagues.

do any of y'all's leagues ever trade draft picks ahead of the draft?

like the person with #1, 20, 21 switch with someone so they can get 3, 18, 23?

damn it. I have #1 and I hate it. I wish I could switch it with someone. anyone.

no one is going to reach for Mahomes in the top 19, opening the door for a Henry/Jacobs/ARSB to be there for me at 20. What will be left for me at 20 and 21 is not encouraging. Will have to pick from a combo of Olave/Waddle/DSmith or reach down for a RB like Mixon at 21 or be the first one and earliest in years to take a QB. Feels like even 2/19/22 would be soooo much better than 1/20/21

First one is work league. One of the owners of the company took Mahomes 2nd overall. Second one is family league. Jacobs was ranked 19, so pick 22 isnt a terrible fall. Tee Higgins, Travis E., Devonta Smith were some taken ahead.

I just don't see Tee Higgins, Travis Etiene, or Devanta Smith going before Jacobs in either of my leagues.

I love the Jacob's, Mahomes, Chase core. Dotson should shine this year.

Why did you draft Watson if you have mahomes already? You're never going to start Watson unless you trade mahomes or he gets hurt

not sure how much it should impact anyone's draft, but were there week 14 bye weeks last season?

Why is a Week 14 bye week bad for fantasy football?

Week 14 is the first round of the fantasy playoffs in some formats. Players on the Cardinals and Commanders will not be available for one of the most important weeks on the fantasy football schedule in those leagues.
