If you're using FAAB I agree

My 2 of 3 drafts is tonight where I have the 9th pick of 10 (probably the same strategy as my 1sr draft where I was 10 of 10).
Thoughts on strategy?

10 team, PPR. 2 Flex (no kicker)

While im sure you won't take Jeanty at 10, are you the kind of guy who would want 3 Bowers? I think with Jeanty injury, love recovery and Jacobs suspension RB has increased in value.

If it were me, id maybe take Puka and then RB or otherwise go RB-RB. Getting Loveland in late 3rd / 4th would maybe feel better. Loveland + Chase Brown is probably better than Bowers +Breece

Here's how my in person drafted last night. 1/2 ppr

I was 9th….granted it got distracting at times. We had to leave and missed the last two rounds so my friends gave me browns defense which is fine and I'll just drop and swap after waivers clear


You can see RBs went on a run with 13 of first 20 picks

The good: Loveland is likely the best draft value in the entire setup. You have big upside WRs which is key.

The im not a fan of: Henry over 4 or 5 RBs id rather have. QB and RB (non pass catching) from the same team.

Options to improve the team: maybe you can see if you can get Pickens or Lamb for a WR/QB stack. Player 10 maybe will want to move one of them.

My mistake, im actually picking 8 of 10…Ha.
Snag a tier 1 WR, then RB, bowers in 4th round?

Again this is just me, but the tier drop off between Puka and Amon Ra / JSN is considerable. While I think those are safe floor plays they dont have league winner potential so to me a better RB is more valuable. So no Puka im taking Cook / JT at 8 and then at 13 probably a chase brown or Achane. If you want the draft flexibility Justin Jefferson has league winning upside to me. Then maybe you reach for Loveland in the 3rd if you think there are 4-5 RBs / WRs you think are basically the same.

If for some reason CMC falls to you I think you need a second RB if you go that route.

I'd go RB-RB then WR in rounds 3 and 4

RBs are flying off boards and there just aren't very many of them. There's good WR value in Rds 3 and 4

Found this article before 2025. Id say they got 1 right and 2 kind of right (rice and warren). So be aware top 10 league winner picks often dont pan out.

It gets tempting to load up early on WR's when you have a league with 2 Flex slots. We don't have a kicker in this league. I do tend to lean RB, RB (unless a Tier 1 WR falls my way), and getting a TE early. That would have me rolling the dice that WR's are getting pushed to the 4th -6th round.

Here is how id see the decision tree for round 4
(If Rb are going very aggresively): id be tempted to take Swift in round 4. Then round 5 and 6 Christian Watson and Parker Washington. Rome Odunze and Marvis Harrison should be safety nets.

If not: In the 4th youd be hoping for: Garrett Wilson, ladd, tee higgins, jaylen waddle or zay flowers. In the 5th and 6th I think Tuten and Stevenson ( I dont think price will fall to you).

Not too bad!
10 team, 8th pick, PPR (no kicker, 2 Flex)

QB: Hurts / Murray
WR: Puka / Lamb / Harrison, Jr / Tate / Meyers / Thomas, Jr
RB: Hall / Love / Mason / Pollard
TE: Warren
Def: Denver

My only issue was my internet went down for a sec when I was trying to get Sutton, so it auto drafted Tate.

How the hell did Puka drop to 8? And then how the hell were you able to Hall and Love at 28 and 33 if there was such a run on RBs?

I think people are thinking the Domestic abuse investigation on Puka may affect his playing time.

I hope not…I got him at #4 3 days ago

I'm clearly not worried about it.

What I've gathered is that most seem to think because he wasn't added to the exempt list prior to roster cut downs that he's not going to miss any time or at worst a couple games.

If they thought it was going to be any more than that they would've given him the Josh Jacbs treatment and exempt listed him and used that roster spot.

Nicely done! I think Tate with the higher upside makes more sense with your roster so you are in a good spot.
I dont know that Jakobi adds much to your roster. He is at best a flex fill starter. Is there someone with more upside you could add? Maybe a handcuff rb.

Allgeier, Washington, (Jeanty backup), Conception, Spears or Woody Marks are several I'm pondering picking up.

If it were me, id rather have conception or Washington. With your RB being weaker than WRs id take Washington.
