10 team, half PPR keeper league. Passing TDs 6 points. Your keeper is kept one round ahead of where he was drafted the year prior. Some big name guys like Chase, Henry, Kupp, Lamb have been kept for a couple years now. Picked out of the 7 slot.

1. Diggs
2. Josh Allen (never go this high for QB, but 6pt TD and having St. Brown in the 9th made me feel better about it)
3. Etienne
4. Dameon Pierce
5. James Conner
6. Dallas Goedert
7. Mike Evans
8. Rachaad White
9. Amon-Ra St. Brown (keeper, drafted 10th round last season)
10. Courtland Sutton
11. Jamaal Williams
12. 49ers
13. Kadarius Toney
14. Jerick McKinnon
15. Tyler Allgeier
16. Younghoe Koo

I feel really good about it. Looking for someone to tell me why I am wrong.

I mean, if you're looking for someone to bring back down to earth, I can do that for you.

It's clear you want to justify the Allen pick, but unless he has an amazing amazing season, your team will probably struggle. The Allen pick forced you into a overdrafting several meh RBs. You've got one RB2 and two RB3s. You'll desperately need Pierce to really have a big breakout year or make a great waiver pickup after an injury. Your receivers are good, as you'd expect given you invested both your first and a keeper in them, but I don't know that they're so good that they can carry you to being a top tier team in a 10 team league. I do like the Toney pick late, I think that's some great value.

Appreciate the input.

The 3 picks before my second were Adams, Wilson, AJ Brown and I probably would have taken any of them over Allen. Players that went the next 5 picks after Allen: Jacobs, Olave, Waddle, Harris, Devonta Smith... I'm fine missing on those guys to get an elite QB.

All three of my top RBs were taken at or around ADP and are high volume guys. I consider all of them RB2s with upside.

I hate to have to say this but I always drafted QB late up until last year. I was coming off 3 straight super bowls and had pick 1 in a 12 team league. So I naturally took RB Jonathan Taylor first and then picks 24-25 I took Josh Allen and Tyreek Hill. Allen was very good but not great last year and I missed the Super Bowl mainly because of Taylor and my general lack of quality RBs.

I hope it works out for you and Allen is a very good fantasy qb but I learned that an average QB picked in the 9th round gets me to the Super Bowl not the early pick star QB.

I will return to the pick qb late hoping that Rodgers, Cousins or Tua are good enough with a better set of WRs and RB.

One other thing in your favor is I had Mike Evans every year I went to the SB but didn't get him last year. So landing Evans is a real positive esp if he is traded to a better team.

You do have a lot of RB depth, and Sutton may pick up more targets early in the season with the Jeudy injury. You may be able to package some of your RB depth with Sutton or Evans to get an upgrade at WR to pair with Diggs and ARSB.

agree with above. you have plenty of RB1s on some bad teams. if any one of them breaks out you could be good to go.

another way to look at it is betting on Allen and Conner to outproduce Jacobs and Herbert, with that roster I may have opted for the latter

I actually don't hate the reach on Josh Allen in a 6-point passing TD league, especially with ARSB as your ninth-round keeper.

I also like ETN in the third a lot. Pierce feels like a reach where you took him, but that isn't the end of the world.

I would look to trade off Conner, White, or Williams. I probably would have taken more shots at WR, given the likelihood of RBs getting hurt and finding value at that position on waivers.

A starting lineup of:
QB - Josh Allen
RB - ETN
RB - Pierce
WR - ARSB
WR - Diggs
WR - Mike Evans
TE - Goedert
FLEX - Rachaad White/Sutton/Jamaal
Isn't too shabby at all.

One other bit of advice, don't take a defense in the 12th...you could get a value at a more important position and just stream defenses.
