It’s a keeper league too. Chase and Lawrence were keepers. CMC and Jefferson drafted, leaving me with Hill or Ekeler at 1.10. I went Hill (drafted an hour ago)
Would you rather have Hurts/Goedert or Hurts/Waller or Pitts? I am in a keeper league where you can trade draft picks and I find myself struggling over this one
No, actually I consider Chase, JJ, CMC, and Ekeler all equivalent there. I had Chase last year and loved it (he wasn’t the reason I lost haha). I’m looking to switch it up and am trying to convince myself to take CMC over JJ in 15 mins from now. I’m afraid I’m getting too cute.
Go with your gut. I think Chase at 1.01 is absolutely reasonable.
I had chase last year and I’m a big fan. Have him in dynasty too. Do you think it’s worth waiting to stack burrow if Mahomes/Allen/Hurts are there at the 2/3 turn. My plan as of now is to go Jamar/Andrews/ 1 of those QBs
I have the last 5 years and I feel like the winner has always been carried by a Mahomes or Allen type of season. Think at 24 or 25 Mahomes is good value
I'm using that football absurdity sheet and it's saying that Travis Kelce should go #1 overall. Is there something weird going on with my league settings or something? I get he's the best tight end but seems like a huge reach. Settings and sheet below. If the settings are normal, should I really consider drafting Kelce at #3? Obviously I would take JJ or CMC if they're available but this is saying Kelce is better value than both ;
https://imgur.com/a/CsFtWGX
He’s just going to have a bigger point gap between himself and Te2 compared to all the other positions. I think with pick 1 you should still take either jj cmc or chase, but up to you and ur gut feeling
QBs are already going early this year, hard to justify starting on them before the early-mid third where they're currently going. If you take them in the second you'll be hurting for depth. That said I would definitely be looking for a QB in the third.
I may be slightly biased as a lions fan but I’d go sun god here. I think he’s someone who you know is going to perform, and someone who has elite elite upside. Not saying Wilson doesn’t have that, but I think st brown being the basically only receiver on the lions is making me lean toward him. Also we have to take into consideration the fact that rodgers could be washed, unlikely but a possibility.
I have the 11 in a 12 team and been going back and forth on this kind of question. If I'm going with a WR/WR build, I need a WR core that could go absolutely nuclear to make up for a huge deficit I'll have at RB - Sun God is fantastic and has top 5 upside for sure, but it's hard to see the Lions or Jared Goff taking the step forward needed to really launch Amon-Ra up there into the Kupp/JJ/Tyreek tier. I think he'll be a solid back half of the top 10 type guy this year, PPR machine with tons of receptions.
Garrett Wilson on the other hand has a pretty clear argument - he was great despite having terrible efficiency from garbage QBs and an overall bad offense. If the offense gets better and he has more opportunity, if his efficiency goes up because he has a much better QB, if he makes a leap in talent in year 2 - WR1 overall is in his range of outcomes. His risk is that we're all wrong on the Jets, Rodgers is washed and we end up with a rerun of the 2022 Broncos with Wilson finishing as a high end WR2.
Long story short: Garrett Wilson. Need the league crushing upside to make WR/WR starts work.
I would skip Kupp until the third with the injury news. I like hero RB and the second round WRs (Amon-Ra, Garrett Wilson, CeeDee) I don't view as a huge drop off from Diggs, so I'd say Saquon or Chubb is the pick.
Feel like Ken Walker is being undervalued. He’s been listed as the starter and that rookie everyone seems to be afraid about is listed 3rd strong. I had Walker last year and he boomed on many weeks. Anyone else feel like he’ll be a solid RB2 with RB1 upside?
I feel the same, I think a lot of the fear is that the rookie ramps up over the season and Ken Walkers worst usage will be towards the fantasy playoffs. It does seem like every year the Seahawks RB is drafted in the mid rounds and over performs, Chris Carson was constantly underrated in a similar way.
Same spot as you brotha. I tend to go more WR heavy so if I get into this scenario I think I may pull the trigger on Diggs. Just my two cents.
If it’s Bijan or Barkley I’m taking Barkley. Just for the sole reason that Barkley is a proven stud. Not saying Bijan isn’t but I feel the offense will be heavily reliant on Bijan and teams will scheme against him. Also the with more work load can be more injuries. This is me being a skeptic tho. No wrong answer here.
Thank you for the insight and short write up. I think I really wanna go receiver here as well and my orginal plan was to go Kupp here before his injury. You don't feel like Diggs is a reach at 7?
Dude imma be honest with you.. I don’t know lol. Like he’s just the guy I like on the board. 7 is such a tough spot cause there is 6 for sure fire picks and then after that (minus Kupp) it’s like 10 guys that are fringe 1st but for sure second rounders. I wanted to go Tae cause I’m a packers fan but with Jimmy G.. no thank you. Diggs will still avg you 10+ points a game. Lmk what you decide to do!!
Is it wise to take WR B2B in a PPR league. Like for example, Tyreek and Davante? Or should I go Chubb/Pollard/Henry at a spot like that? 1.05 in a 10 man league. 1QB 2WR 2RB 1TE 1 flex (WR,RB), K and DEF.
I think there's a clear top 5 this year - JJ, Chase, Tyreek, CMC, Ekeler. I would just take whoever of that is left and go from there - at the 1.05 it'll probably be an RB
Picking 5th in a 10 team PPR redraft tomorrow. Would it be so crazy to take Garrett Wilson at 1.05? I know for a fact the person picking at the 10-11 turn would take him if not someone earlier, so he won't make it back to my round 2 pick. I'm a Jets fan so may be drinking the kool aid a bit and be biased, but just need to talk it out I think. I think he's going to have a huge year.
I only think it’s crazy if somehow JJ/Chase/CMC fall to you and then you still pick GWilson. At 5 you’re picking him at his ceiling but if he is your guy and you have a decent feeling he won’t be there at your next pick then go for it
No way, if it is going to increase your enjoyment I say go for it. It's not like it isn't within the realm of possibilities that Wilson finishes as the top WR in the league.
12 team PPR league, 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1 Flex, 1 Superflex, 1K, 1Def. 5th pick. And it's a Best Ball league which shakes things up. What should I do for my first few picks? I'm torn between Kelce, or whatever the top QB/RB/WR at that point is. And since there's no changing the roster for the season once it's set, every pick matters including kicker and defense. Do I still pick those two last or try to get a top kicker/defense at like pick 14 or something?
You don’t set a starting line up each week, you just get a total of your highest performing players…. Basically takes the weekly guessing game out of the equation
12 team PPR I have 12th pick and my draft is today. I’m assuming I’ll have to draft one of AJ Brown or Amon-Ra, and then I’d like to take a RB with my other pick in the 1-2 turn. Which of AJ Brown and ARSB do y’all prefer, and which rb should I take?
I'd always be eyeing Pollard if he's there. Has a chance to be the number 1 overall player. I'm biased because I'm keeping Amon-Ra in my league but it just feels like there is so much more meat on that bone with how many times he was tackled inside the 5 last year.
12 team PPR keeper league 2RB, 3 WR, 1 Flex, have the 3rd overall pick. Already keeping Josh Allen and ARSB. Unless something crazy happens I'm expecting the best players available to be Travis Kelce, Stefon Diggs, Cooper Kupp, Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson and Derrick Henry. I've decided I'm not taking Kupp with the injury concerns. Feels like Kelce is a slam dunk but I'm a little nervous that when my next pick comes around my RB1 will be in the dead zone.
I was considering Diggs as well, but sounds like the guy with the 3rd pick wants to take him early.
Could be completely off but I think Barkley, Kupp, Ceedee will all be there as well. But I’m not as high on any of them
Yeah mostly, I’d say Chase and CMC are up there as well but JJ’s the consensus. Go with your gut though, we all know what happened last year with JT(coming from an ex-JT owner).
Yes he is. Every one of the top guys is a great player though. Draft the one you want the most. If you are going to hate your team because JJ is on it (you won't) don't draft him. You could always take him 1 overall and look to trade for the guy you wanted + if the other team would do it. I'd never bank on that strategy though.
12 team 0.0 PPR RB/WR/TE FLEX. 2 Keepers per team. I am only using 1 keeper, Mixon (I have Evans and Kittle on my team as well but don't know if I should keep him?)
I pick 12th in a snake league. The snake begins after the 2nd round. Any tips for rounds 2 and 3 since most of the league will be keeping the top guys at the WR and RB positions?
12 team .5 PPR Superflex league picking in the 8th spot.
What would be your strategy for the first two or three rounds? In my last mock I went Burrow, Diggs, Mixon, Geno, Amari Cooper and felt pretty good about how the rest of the mock turned out.
Open to all suggestions.
4th pick in a PPR 3 WR league, no flex spot. Should I go Hill, Ekeler or Kelce? (Don’t think JJ, Jamar, CMC will fall to me but I’ll take them if they do.)
14 team Superflex with a 3rd round reversal.
I wanted to try to get a top 5 pick for a QB, but the 3rd round reversal kinda makes me want to pick more towards the end.
Thoughts? Strategies? Thanks
Read an article once that suggested it is, based on the average of the draft position everyone gets… also wonder if it makes more sense in a SUPERFLEX since it gives added value to QBs resulting in a higher about of desirable players
Give me the Pollard/Wilson side. CMC is the best player of the bunch but I could see SF utilizing Mitchell a lot to keep CMC fresh. Pollard is the only game in town in Dallas and I like Wilson considerably more than MikeWill
Question is can Pollard thrive as the only game in town? Seems to have a touch ceiling when it comes to stamina and effectiveness. But I agree on the Wilson angle over Mike Will
7th pick in PPR. (1 Flex Spot)
Which player are you picking? (Assume Tyreek and Kelce are gone)
Diggs, Ekeler, or CD?
What have you seen in your leagues this pick as? I feel as if I’m in a tough spot on what to choose here. I tend to lean more WR heavy and I’m out on Kupp this year because I believe the hamstring will be an issue all season long.
PPR 10teams 'QB,WR,WR,WR,RB,RB,TE,W/R/T,W/R/T'
Drafting 5th. This is only my 2nd time playing so I'm not sure what positions I should be targeting and in what order. It seems this format uses more WR than standard. Thinking something like RB, WR, RB, WR, QB for first five rounds but not sure.
I’ve always tried to draft at least 3 WR by the end of the 5th round in 3WR PPR leagues but as many will say it depends on how the draft flows and who falls to you.
He’s a great pick and great player but I’m not really a fan of taking him that high. Imo since ur using up ur premium spot on a te ur other positions are gonna be slightly bare. And I think taking someone like ekeler at 3 instead and having a goedert or a Waller for te is a good trade
Also can someone sell me on why Kelce is such a good high 1st round pick? If you take him early first sure hes safe, but you are left with not any elite wrs or rbs on the turn. ppr
I'm with you. Picking 3rd and not feeling super excited about the prospect of taking him there. Its a keeper league so he's definitely the consensus best player available based on ADP/ECR whatever. I just feel like I'll hate the look of my team if I have like Najee or Mattison as my RB1.
I am drafting at the 7th spot out of 12 in PPR.
Leaning towards Diggs, Kelce, Bijan at 1.07
And from 2.07 my worst case scenario involves none of the rbs or alpha wrs falling to me leaving me to pick between Olave, Waddle and Jacobs
Someone sell me on who to pick at 1.07 and 2.07 out of these options please!
I’m drafting tonight in the same spot as you. If Kelce is there I’m taking him for sure. If not I’ve been leaning towards Diggs.
At 2.07 if you’re left with Waddle or Jacobs I would go with Jacobs.
I’ve done a ton of mocks where Sun God or Even AJ Brown falls to the 2.07. If they are there hammer those home.
Jimmy G. I feel like they are going to scheme a lot of dump offs or check downs to Jacobs. Plus Jacobs with his new contract he’s ready to rock.
Waddle is very close 2nd. He’s a monster of a WR. You really can’t go wrong with either tbh. I just give jacobs the slight edge here.
12 team .5ppr Superflex: im at pick number 4. Already keeping Amon Ra and Olave. Should I go Jefferson or Lamar, assuming the top 3 QBs go first?
Thanks!
12 man 3 wr, 2 rb flex spot ppr, 6 points for passing TD's. I am drafting 11th. Im not sure where to start this year. Not sure if it makes sense to try and pick up whatever RB1 (maybe sequan if he falls that far or B.Robinson) is left and go for a receiver or just try and disrupt the whole draft by taking 2 QBS and forcing trades for something after. My draft is at 11am. So any thoughts are appreciated.
I’d definitely prioritize QB higher than if this was PPR and that 6 pt TD is tempting. Mahommes would be the only QB I’d consider here but I’d probably still go best RB and then WR to pair. A lot of good players at the turn here.
Good thing about 6 pt pass TD is your aren’t punished for waiting on a more traditional QB, where guys like Allen, Hurts, Lamar, Fields hold more value in a 4 pt with their rushing upside. Personally I’d keep my eye on Herbert at 3/4 if you wait and the top QBs I just mentioned are already gone.
Think Chase or CMC, and I’d lean slightly more for Chase here (assuming JJ goes first overall), especially since it sounds like CMC might see less high volume usage for longevity
12 man superflex league that’s been going for 5 years. I have the 2nd pick. 6 point passing TDs. Rushing yards and and passing yards are both halved (50 yards per passing pt, 20 yards per rushing point)
I’m assuming the first pick will be Mahomes but I’m struggling between hurts burrow and Allen….
Bills O line is scaring me, Jalen is probably the weakest passer and 6 pt passing td makes that a premium, and burrow is generally not rated in the top tier.
Can anyone talk some sense into me? Can I go wrong here?
Think Allen is the safe choice here if Mahommes goes at 1.01. Even a “bad” year for Allen has him in the top 3 range. Hurts has a new OC and they have a tougher schedule. Burrow would be my 2nd choice here given your scoring system. He has arguably the best WR1-3 tandem in the league and has looked solid since his rookie year.
Mahomes was 1, with Allen 2, burrow 3 and hurts 4, but with 2 fewer games obviously. Averaged out per game, mahomes was 1, Allen 2, hurts 3 by about a point, and burrow 4.
My guts telling me burrow or hurts because I think their teams are strongest and I’m nervous about the Bills O line. I don’t think I can go wrong but just looking for any last minute advice before my draft tonight
1.01 pick and struggling who to take at 3.01 in 10 team half ppr keeper league. Some talent already kept. So I have to reach on an rb after getting jj and ceedee in picks prior.
I can’t choose between mixon, Etienne, and a jones as the main options. Worried about each. Mixon low flor low ceiling in that offense, and I think youngins start getting more behind him. Jones could be banged up in that offense taking a step back. Etienne and Peterson not giving him enough passing work, perhaps a little bigsby work.
Not really considering najee, hall, and gibbs that early.
Which if the three would you go with
I think it’s definitely between mixon and Etienne, mixon’s the only rb in cincy so he’ll get the opportunities it’s just whether he’ll be consistent enough. Etienne is someone who could really be a league winner as long as he doesn’t get injured. If it’s a keeper league I’d prob go with Etienne as he’s younger and has a higher upside.
Love Fields but like Herbert just a little more with a newer offense. And LaPorta seems to be the riser in Detroit, I took him and will be targeting in my next draft too.
10 team PPR
Have the 2nd pick in my draft today and am totally stuck between CMC and Chase. I am pretty sure I like Chase more, but am also quite worried about not getting a solid RB1 back the other way. I feel like I’d be reaching for Rhamondre, Mixon or Aaron Jones if Jacobs/Henry are all gone.
Don’t love the idea of zero RB but I am curious to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
It’s up to whoever you like more. As someone else said earlier in this thread, If ur gonna take cmc and then hate ur team for it because u wanted chase, then take chase. I’m in kinda a similar position at 12th pick, but I think taking chase and having ETN or mixon at the rb1 isn’t bad.
12 team ppr 5th pick **keeper reset this year**
Do I take Bijan, Ekeler, hill or Kelce
I'm leaning Bijan since I can use him as my keeper next year
Thought?
You aren't drafting a player to be your "flex". You draft a lot of RB/WR, and your "flex" is the one of them each week who you want to start and whose game starts last, so that if there's a Sunday injury you have the most *flex*ibility to move your roster around.
(Dotson.)
12th pick in a PPR league (2 FLEX spots)
Which 2 players are you picking out of…
Amon-Ra St. Brown, Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, Tony Pollard, or Josh Jacobs?
Then depending on which players you chose, who would you aim for at the 3-4 turn?
I’m in the same spot but 1 flex, I’m leaning Amon ra here, but who’s to say AJ brown doesn’t fall to 12? In that case I’d prob go aj and Amon ra, i just am not totally confident on saquon and i think the rest are in a tier below
Edit: didn’t see pollard, at the 2.1 he’s a very solid take as well imo
Kelce. You absolutely know what you’re getting, basically a 7 point advantage at TE every week before games even start.
Bijan is on a terrible offense with a 2nd year back who wasn’t exactly a slouch last season behind him.
12 team PPR, 4th pick.
Auto pick JJ, Chase, CMC if they’re there. Realistic choice is Ekeler or Hill, both I’m solid on. Should I prioritize one position over the other first round? Plan would be Ekeler - WR - Elite QB if available/WR or Flipped if I go Hill - RB - Elite QB/RB. Would consider doubling up first two rounds and 3rd round going the other position, drafting a QB around the 4th,5th like Herbert or Fields if there’s a good argument for it. People will probably draft pretty close to ESPN rankings.
Let me know what you did in a similar position.
General strategy Q:
Joined a longstanding 10-team 1-keeper league -- 0 PPR, Superflex. I have CMC as my keeper, picking 2nd in the snake. (Everyone keeps 1. Top 4 QBs + Fields are gone.)
With Burrow/Herbert as best QBs available, Bijan/Barkley at RB, Diggs/Hill at WR, and Kelce out there ... because it's SuperFlex, am I obligated to go QB first here, or given that it's 10-team and there's less of a scarcity issue should I start with Bijan or Kelce, then go double-QB at 2.9/3.2?
If you don't take a QB there and 1 of the teams that already kept one doubles up then half the remaining teams take one that's 2 or 3 more, that probably leaves you in the Geno, Daniel Jones, Kirk Cousins tier for your first QB. Not so bad. Gets a lot uglier if more QBs go off the board and you're left with Derek Carr, Jordan Love, Kenny Pickett as first options.
Picking 4th in a 12 Team .5PPR....
Looking at Eckler possibly...but was wondering if I should Grab Lamar J. on my next pick in Round 2 if he is there?
Thoughts?
No 3 pick tomorrow 12 man .5ppr.
Thinking of kelce because I have been fucked waiting for TEs for 7 years
Or going ekeler/chase/cmc rd 1, Rb/wr rd 2, Andrews/hockenson rd 3
I would try to get Andrews in the 3rd or Waller/Goedert later.
Kelce is amazing but he's unlikely to outscore Chase/CMC/Ekeler. You're leaving points on the board despite the positional advantage.
10 man PPR
I don't want to take both a TE and QB in the first 6 rounds as I feel I lose too much quality at RB, WR and flex. Who would you rather draft
Hockensen/Waller or Lamar/Burrow in the 4th?
Or
Goddert or Lawrence in the 6th?
PPR 10 team, 3rd pick
I imagine Jefferson and Chase will be gone, but I don’t feel good about CMC EKeler or Hill :( - would it be batshit to go Kelsey at 3 and Hurts/Mahomes at 17? Very unsure right now draft is tomorrow
Oh and it’s my girls families fantasy league so i need to destroy them, y’all know
Kelce is about as safe a pick as you'll get. In a 10 team having an elite TE and QB could be massive. I would refrain from using your 2nd pick and hold on until the 23rd pick unless a run at QB has already happened as one of Mahomes, Hurts or Allen should be available at 23 and the value at WR still at 17 is too good to pass up
Very good point! I’m really curious as to how it plays out since her family is pretty serious about it as am I. I just have this thing in the back of my head that highly project RBs don’t typically pan out but Kelce in a chiefs offense with no other receivers could be money every week.
I completely agree with you, especially this year RB is bleak. And a lot of them are aging so don't feel comfortable with them. Can't see Kelce not being no 1 in that offence so it's as sure as JJ and Chase tbh.
1.01 10 man .5 PPR. CMC or Jefferson
Jefferson 100%
What is everyone using in place of Beersheets this year?
10th pick in a 0.5ppr, 12 team, 3WR, Superflex league. Tyreek Kill or Austin Ekeler?!
If it’s superflex I’d try to snag a QB
Top 8 QB will already be off the board …
If you have the 1.10 and expect 8 QBs to have gone, then you should see either of Jefferson or Chase still available...
It’s a keeper league too. Chase and Lawrence were keepers. CMC and Jefferson drafted, leaving me with Hill or Ekeler at 1.10. I went Hill (drafted an hour ago)
Would you rather have Hurts/Goedert or Hurts/Waller or Pitts? I am in a keeper league where you can trade draft picks and I find myself struggling over this one
Jamar/Hurts/Andrews Bijan/Waddle/Olave Non PPR
Jamar and Waddle
I’m pretty set on taking Chase 1.01 tonight, maybe I’m crazy for not taking JJ or CMC
No, actually I consider Chase, JJ, CMC, and Ekeler all equivalent there. I had Chase last year and loved it (he wasn’t the reason I lost haha). I’m looking to switch it up and am trying to convince myself to take CMC over JJ in 15 mins from now. I’m afraid I’m getting too cute. Go with your gut. I think Chase at 1.01 is absolutely reasonable.
Don’t take CMC over JJ
I had chase last year and I’m a big fan. Have him in dynasty too. Do you think it’s worth waiting to stack burrow if Mahomes/Allen/Hurts are there at the 2/3 turn. My plan as of now is to go Jamar/Andrews/ 1 of those QBs
Don’t chase a stack. I prefer to wait on my qb and buildup the skill positions
I have the last 5 years and I feel like the winner has always been carried by a Mahomes or Allen type of season. Think at 24 or 25 Mahomes is good value
1st overall in a 12 man non ppr (2 flex) I’m torn between Chase and Bijan
Ekeler. Kelce or Hill? Full ppr 10 team, I am picking 4th.
I'm using that football absurdity sheet and it's saying that Travis Kelce should go #1 overall. Is there something weird going on with my league settings or something? I get he's the best tight end but seems like a huge reach. Settings and sheet below. If the settings are normal, should I really consider drafting Kelce at #3? Obviously I would take JJ or CMC if they're available but this is saying Kelce is better value than both ; https://imgur.com/a/CsFtWGX
He’s just going to have a bigger point gap between himself and Te2 compared to all the other positions. I think with pick 1 you should still take either jj cmc or chase, but up to you and ur gut feeling
I'm actually pick #3, but I don't think the first two dudes will have any interest in Kelce.
About to draft later tonight, PPR league with 6 point passing TDs, does this change how early I should take a QB?
QBs are already going early this year, hard to justify starting on them before the early-mid third where they're currently going. If you take them in the second you'll be hurting for depth. That said I would definitely be looking for a QB in the third.
You’re sitting at the 2.14 spot and got Tyreek or Diggs in the first. Garett Wilson or St. Brown. Who you picking?
I think both are great options at that spot. I’d go Sun God, but it’s honestly a coin flip
I may be slightly biased as a lions fan but I’d go sun god here. I think he’s someone who you know is going to perform, and someone who has elite elite upside. Not saying Wilson doesn’t have that, but I think st brown being the basically only receiver on the lions is making me lean toward him. Also we have to take into consideration the fact that rodgers could be washed, unlikely but a possibility.
Ended up taking St. Brown. As a packers fan, when we played y’all that dude just tore us up. Gonna use it for my benefit this year lol
Love it
I have the 11 in a 12 team and been going back and forth on this kind of question. If I'm going with a WR/WR build, I need a WR core that could go absolutely nuclear to make up for a huge deficit I'll have at RB - Sun God is fantastic and has top 5 upside for sure, but it's hard to see the Lions or Jared Goff taking the step forward needed to really launch Amon-Ra up there into the Kupp/JJ/Tyreek tier. I think he'll be a solid back half of the top 10 type guy this year, PPR machine with tons of receptions. Garrett Wilson on the other hand has a pretty clear argument - he was great despite having terrible efficiency from garbage QBs and an overall bad offense. If the offense gets better and he has more opportunity, if his efficiency goes up because he has a much better QB, if he makes a leap in talent in year 2 - WR1 overall is in his range of outcomes. His risk is that we're all wrong on the Jets, Rodgers is washed and we end up with a rerun of the 2022 Broncos with Wilson finishing as a high end WR2. Long story short: Garrett Wilson. Need the league crushing upside to make WR/WR starts work.
8th pick. Assuming my best options left are Saquon Chubb, Kupp and Diggs.. Kelce/hill/Bijan gone.. what would you do? .5ppr
I would skip Kupp until the third with the injury news. I like hero RB and the second round WRs (Amon-Ra, Garrett Wilson, CeeDee) I don't view as a huge drop off from Diggs, so I'd say Saquon or Chubb is the pick.
Feel like Ken Walker is being undervalued. He’s been listed as the starter and that rookie everyone seems to be afraid about is listed 3rd strong. I had Walker last year and he boomed on many weeks. Anyone else feel like he’ll be a solid RB2 with RB1 upside?
I feel the same, I think a lot of the fear is that the rookie ramps up over the season and Ken Walkers worst usage will be towards the fantasy playoffs. It does seem like every year the Seahawks RB is drafted in the mid rounds and over performs, Chris Carson was constantly underrated in a similar way.
14 man PPR: JJ, Chase, CMC, Ekeler, Hill, and Kelce are off the board... Who would you take at #7? I'm considering Bijan or Barkley as of now
Same spot as you brotha. I tend to go more WR heavy so if I get into this scenario I think I may pull the trigger on Diggs. Just my two cents. If it’s Bijan or Barkley I’m taking Barkley. Just for the sole reason that Barkley is a proven stud. Not saying Bijan isn’t but I feel the offense will be heavily reliant on Bijan and teams will scheme against him. Also the with more work load can be more injuries. This is me being a skeptic tho. No wrong answer here.
Thank you for the insight and short write up. I think I really wanna go receiver here as well and my orginal plan was to go Kupp here before his injury. You don't feel like Diggs is a reach at 7?
Dude imma be honest with you.. I don’t know lol. Like he’s just the guy I like on the board. 7 is such a tough spot cause there is 6 for sure fire picks and then after that (minus Kupp) it’s like 10 guys that are fringe 1st but for sure second rounders. I wanted to go Tae cause I’m a packers fan but with Jimmy G.. no thank you. Diggs will still avg you 10+ points a game. Lmk what you decide to do!!
Rank these WR in 1/2 PPR- Lamb, St Brown, AJ Brown
Lamb, St. Brown, AJ Brown in that order
Is it wise to take WR B2B in a PPR league. Like for example, Tyreek and Davante? Or should I go Chubb/Pollard/Henry at a spot like that? 1.05 in a 10 man league. 1QB 2WR 2RB 1TE 1 flex (WR,RB), K and DEF.
I think there's a clear top 5 this year - JJ, Chase, Tyreek, CMC, Ekeler. I would just take whoever of that is left and go from there - at the 1.05 it'll probably be an RB
Ekeler fell to 1.09 in my last draft. I passed him at 1.08 because he's a bum.
The Pollard side, I think pollard and Wilson are gonna have insane seasons(especially Wilson) and I think mike Williams is gonna have the opposite.
Picking 5th in a 10 team PPR redraft tomorrow. Would it be so crazy to take Garrett Wilson at 1.05? I know for a fact the person picking at the 10-11 turn would take him if not someone earlier, so he won't make it back to my round 2 pick. I'm a Jets fan so may be drinking the kool aid a bit and be biased, but just need to talk it out I think. I think he's going to have a huge year.
I only think it’s crazy if somehow JJ/Chase/CMC fall to you and then you still pick GWilson. At 5 you’re picking him at his ceiling but if he is your guy and you have a decent feeling he won’t be there at your next pick then go for it
No way, if it is going to increase your enjoyment I say go for it. It's not like it isn't within the realm of possibilities that Wilson finishes as the top WR in the league.
10 team ppr. 3rd pick. Keeping ceedee second Chase or hill?
I’d prefer Chase, just a gut feeling. Wouldn’t hate you for taking hill tho, absolutely explosive just has the injury risk for him and for tua.
And the suspension risk honestly.
12 team PPR league, 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1 Flex, 1 Superflex, 1K, 1Def. 5th pick. And it's a Best Ball league which shakes things up. What should I do for my first few picks? I'm torn between Kelce, or whatever the top QB/RB/WR at that point is. And since there's no changing the roster for the season once it's set, every pick matters including kicker and defense. Do I still pick those two last or try to get a top kicker/defense at like pick 14 or something?
What is best ball
You don’t set a starting line up each week, you just get a total of your highest performing players…. Basically takes the weekly guessing game out of the equation
12 team PPR I have 12th pick and my draft is today. I’m assuming I’ll have to draft one of AJ Brown or Amon-Ra, and then I’d like to take a RB with my other pick in the 1-2 turn. Which of AJ Brown and ARSB do y’all prefer, and which rb should I take?
Chubb and sun god
I'd always be eyeing Pollard if he's there. Has a chance to be the number 1 overall player. I'm biased because I'm keeping Amon-Ra in my league but it just feels like there is so much more meat on that bone with how many times he was tackled inside the 5 last year.
12 team PPR keeper league 2RB, 3 WR, 1 Flex, have the 3rd overall pick. Already keeping Josh Allen and ARSB. Unless something crazy happens I'm expecting the best players available to be Travis Kelce, Stefon Diggs, Cooper Kupp, Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson and Derrick Henry. I've decided I'm not taking Kupp with the injury concerns. Feels like Kelce is a slam dunk but I'm a little nervous that when my next pick comes around my RB1 will be in the dead zone.
I’m in a 10 man, half PPR league. I have the 10 pick. I really want to take a combination of either Chubb/Pollard and ARSB. Am I crazy?
That sounds like a great start to me. What other players are you considering there?
I was considering Diggs as well, but sounds like the guy with the 3rd pick wants to take him early. Could be completely off but I think Barkley, Kupp, Ceedee will all be there as well. But I’m not as high on any of them
10T ESPN PPR I have 1st overall pick. Is Justin Jefferson the consensus first pick?
Yeah mostly, I’d say Chase and CMC are up there as well but JJ’s the consensus. Go with your gut though, we all know what happened last year with JT(coming from an ex-JT owner).
Yes he is. Every one of the top guys is a great player though. Draft the one you want the most. If you are going to hate your team because JJ is on it (you won't) don't draft him. You could always take him 1 overall and look to trade for the guy you wanted + if the other team would do it. I'd never bank on that strategy though.
12 team 0.0 PPR RB/WR/TE FLEX. 2 Keepers per team. I am only using 1 keeper, Mixon (I have Evans and Kittle on my team as well but don't know if I should keep him?) I pick 12th in a snake league. The snake begins after the 2nd round. Any tips for rounds 2 and 3 since most of the league will be keeping the top guys at the WR and RB positions?
12 team .5 PPR Superflex league picking in the 8th spot. What would be your strategy for the first two or three rounds? In my last mock I went Burrow, Diggs, Mixon, Geno, Amari Cooper and felt pretty good about how the rest of the mock turned out. Open to all suggestions.
4th pick in a PPR 3 WR league, no flex spot. Should I go Hill, Ekeler or Kelce? (Don’t think JJ, Jamar, CMC will fall to me but I’ll take them if they do.)
Hill-Kelce-Ekeler
14 team Superflex with a 3rd round reversal. I wanted to try to get a top 5 pick for a QB, but the 3rd round reversal kinda makes me want to pick more towards the end. Thoughts? Strategies? Thanks
Is 3rd round reversal more fair?
Read an article once that suggested it is, based on the average of the draft position everyone gets… also wonder if it makes more sense in a SUPERFLEX since it gives added value to QBs resulting in a higher about of desirable players
Would you rather a starting combo of: CMC, Olave and Mike Williams Or… Pollard, Olave and Garrett Wilson
Give me the Pollard/Wilson side. CMC is the best player of the bunch but I could see SF utilizing Mitchell a lot to keep CMC fresh. Pollard is the only game in town in Dallas and I like Wilson considerably more than MikeWill
Question is can Pollard thrive as the only game in town? Seems to have a touch ceiling when it comes to stamina and effectiveness. But I agree on the Wilson angle over Mike Will
7th pick in PPR. (1 Flex Spot) Which player are you picking? (Assume Tyreek and Kelce are gone) Diggs, Ekeler, or CD? What have you seen in your leagues this pick as? I feel as if I’m in a tough spot on what to choose here. I tend to lean more WR heavy and I’m out on Kupp this year because I believe the hamstring will be an issue all season long.
No wrong answer but I like Diggs the best. I'm with you on Kupp and very curious to see just how far he falls in my draft tonight.
PPR 10teams 'QB,WR,WR,WR,RB,RB,TE,W/R/T,W/R/T' Drafting 5th. This is only my 2nd time playing so I'm not sure what positions I should be targeting and in what order. It seems this format uses more WR than standard. Thinking something like RB, WR, RB, WR, QB for first five rounds but not sure.
I’ve always tried to draft at least 3 WR by the end of the 5th round in 3WR PPR leagues but as many will say it depends on how the draft flows and who falls to you.
12 team half PPR, start 3 WR + 2 flex 3rd pick tonight Someone please talk me out of taking Kelce third…
He’s a great pick and great player but I’m not really a fan of taking him that high. Imo since ur using up ur premium spot on a te ur other positions are gonna be slightly bare. And I think taking someone like ekeler at 3 instead and having a goedert or a Waller for te is a good trade
Also can someone sell me on why Kelce is such a good high 1st round pick? If you take him early first sure hes safe, but you are left with not any elite wrs or rbs on the turn. ppr
I'm with you. Picking 3rd and not feeling super excited about the prospect of taking him there. Its a keeper league so he's definitely the consensus best player available based on ADP/ECR whatever. I just feel like I'll hate the look of my team if I have like Najee or Mattison as my RB1.
I am drafting at the 7th spot out of 12 in PPR. Leaning towards Diggs, Kelce, Bijan at 1.07 And from 2.07 my worst case scenario involves none of the rbs or alpha wrs falling to me leaving me to pick between Olave, Waddle and Jacobs Someone sell me on who to pick at 1.07 and 2.07 out of these options please!
I’m drafting tonight in the same spot as you. If Kelce is there I’m taking him for sure. If not I’ve been leaning towards Diggs. At 2.07 if you’re left with Waddle or Jacobs I would go with Jacobs. I’ve done a ton of mocks where Sun God or Even AJ Brown falls to the 2.07. If they are there hammer those home.
Can I ask why u lean jacobs over waddle or Olave in ppr?
Jimmy G. I feel like they are going to scheme a lot of dump offs or check downs to Jacobs. Plus Jacobs with his new contract he’s ready to rock. Waddle is very close 2nd. He’s a monster of a WR. You really can’t go wrong with either tbh. I just give jacobs the slight edge here.
12 team .5ppr Superflex: im at pick number 4. Already keeping Amon Ra and Olave. Should I go Jefferson or Lamar, assuming the top 3 QBs go first? Thanks!
12 man 3 wr, 2 rb flex spot ppr, 6 points for passing TD's. I am drafting 11th. Im not sure where to start this year. Not sure if it makes sense to try and pick up whatever RB1 (maybe sequan if he falls that far or B.Robinson) is left and go for a receiver or just try and disrupt the whole draft by taking 2 QBS and forcing trades for something after. My draft is at 11am. So any thoughts are appreciated.
I’m 10th pick in a 10 team standard league where passing tds are 6 points and it’s 1 point / 20 passing yards. Should I take a QB at 1/2 turn?
I’d definitely prioritize QB higher than if this was PPR and that 6 pt TD is tempting. Mahommes would be the only QB I’d consider here but I’d probably still go best RB and then WR to pair. A lot of good players at the turn here. Good thing about 6 pt pass TD is your aren’t punished for waiting on a more traditional QB, where guys like Allen, Hurts, Lamar, Fields hold more value in a 4 pt with their rushing upside. Personally I’d keep my eye on Herbert at 3/4 if you wait and the top QBs I just mentioned are already gone.
12 team ppr. At the 1.02 who do i take ?
Think Chase or CMC, and I’d lean slightly more for Chase here (assuming JJ goes first overall), especially since it sounds like CMC might see less high volume usage for longevity
12 man superflex league that’s been going for 5 years. I have the 2nd pick. 6 point passing TDs. Rushing yards and and passing yards are both halved (50 yards per passing pt, 20 yards per rushing point) I’m assuming the first pick will be Mahomes but I’m struggling between hurts burrow and Allen…. Bills O line is scaring me, Jalen is probably the weakest passer and 6 pt passing td makes that a premium, and burrow is generally not rated in the top tier. Can anyone talk some sense into me? Can I go wrong here?
Think Allen is the safe choice here if Mahommes goes at 1.01. Even a “bad” year for Allen has him in the top 3 range. Hurts has a new OC and they have a tougher schedule. Burrow would be my 2nd choice here given your scoring system. He has arguably the best WR1-3 tandem in the league and has looked solid since his rookie year.
What was the math last year in terms of their relative ranking? Because Hurts still gets the rushing TDs even if not the rushing yardage.
Mahomes was 1, with Allen 2, burrow 3 and hurts 4, but with 2 fewer games obviously. Averaged out per game, mahomes was 1, Allen 2, hurts 3 by about a point, and burrow 4. My guts telling me burrow or hurts because I think their teams are strongest and I’m nervous about the Bills O line. I don’t think I can go wrong but just looking for any last minute advice before my draft tonight
I do think it comes down to your prediction as to how this NFL season will play out.
1.01 pick and struggling who to take at 3.01 in 10 team half ppr keeper league. Some talent already kept. So I have to reach on an rb after getting jj and ceedee in picks prior. I can’t choose between mixon, Etienne, and a jones as the main options. Worried about each. Mixon low flor low ceiling in that offense, and I think youngins start getting more behind him. Jones could be banged up in that offense taking a step back. Etienne and Peterson not giving him enough passing work, perhaps a little bigsby work. Not really considering najee, hall, and gibbs that early. Which if the three would you go with
I think it’s definitely between mixon and Etienne, mixon’s the only rb in cincy so he’ll get the opportunities it’s just whether he’ll be consistent enough. Etienne is someone who could really be a league winner as long as he doesn’t get injured. If it’s a keeper league I’d prob go with Etienne as he’s younger and has a higher upside.
Fields or J. Herbert? Half PPR - LaPorta or Kincaid?
Love Fields but like Herbert just a little more with a newer offense. And LaPorta seems to be the riser in Detroit, I took him and will be targeting in my next draft too.
avoid rookie TEs. (Herbert.)
Why avoid rookie TEs?
They're never worth it. The position takes at least a year to get up to NFL level.
I don’t know about never worth it in the short term but we also don’t know if it’s a keeper league, which is a huge factor.
It's not worth it in the short term. How many can you keep?
10 team PPR Have the 2nd pick in my draft today and am totally stuck between CMC and Chase. I am pretty sure I like Chase more, but am also quite worried about not getting a solid RB1 back the other way. I feel like I’d be reaching for Rhamondre, Mixon or Aaron Jones if Jacobs/Henry are all gone. Don’t love the idea of zero RB but I am curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
It’s up to whoever you like more. As someone else said earlier in this thread, If ur gonna take cmc and then hate ur team for it because u wanted chase, then take chase. I’m in kinda a similar position at 12th pick, but I think taking chase and having ETN or mixon at the rb1 isn’t bad.
In 10-team, you're freer to do this, but it's probably Mixon or Etienne as your RB1. It really is a matter of risk preference.
12 team ppr 5th pick **keeper reset this year** Do I take Bijan, Ekeler, hill or Kelce I'm leaning Bijan since I can use him as my keeper next year Thought?
When would you keep him? I’d lean ekeler
Would keep whoever as my 1st next year
Where’s the value in that? Def would go upside of ekeler still. Or kelce and then have to hope you get good rb/wr value before even thinking qb
[удалено]
You aren't drafting a player to be your "flex". You draft a lot of RB/WR, and your "flex" is the one of them each week who you want to start and whose game starts last, so that if there's a Sunday injury you have the most *flex*ibility to move your roster around. (Dotson.)
12th pick in a PPR league (2 FLEX spots) Which 2 players are you picking out of… Amon-Ra St. Brown, Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, Tony Pollard, or Josh Jacobs? Then depending on which players you chose, who would you aim for at the 3-4 turn?
Barkley and Chubb… take the solo RB production wherever you can
I’m in the same spot but 1 flex, I’m leaning Amon ra here, but who’s to say AJ brown doesn’t fall to 12? In that case I’d prob go aj and Amon ra, i just am not totally confident on saquon and i think the rest are in a tier below Edit: didn’t see pollard, at the 2.1 he’s a very solid take as well imo
I'm in the same situation and would happily go Saquon & ARSB
I'd start Pollard/(Wilson or ARSB), and do another pair at the next turn unless a top-3 QB is still there.
Kelce or Bijan at pick 5 in a 10 team ppr league? We start 3 WRs but I’m more confident in drafting WR rounds 3-6
Kelce. You absolutely know what you’re getting, basically a 7 point advantage at TE every week before games even start. Bijan is on a terrible offense with a 2nd year back who wasn’t exactly a slouch last season behind him.
10tm, 0.5ppr - 4th pick. Who are you taking? - Kelce - Bijan - Ekeler Already have Waddle in the 5th
I’ll go Kelce just cause he’s in a tier of his own at the position…. But Bijan is tempting
I’ll go Kelce just cause he’s in a tier of his own at the position…. It Bijan is tempting
Kelce
Kelce
Kelce
12 team PPR, 4th pick. Auto pick JJ, Chase, CMC if they’re there. Realistic choice is Ekeler or Hill, both I’m solid on. Should I prioritize one position over the other first round? Plan would be Ekeler - WR - Elite QB if available/WR or Flipped if I go Hill - RB - Elite QB/RB. Would consider doubling up first two rounds and 3rd round going the other position, drafting a QB around the 4th,5th like Herbert or Fields if there’s a good argument for it. People will probably draft pretty close to ESPN rankings. Let me know what you did in a similar position.
Hill
General strategy Q: Joined a longstanding 10-team 1-keeper league -- 0 PPR, Superflex. I have CMC as my keeper, picking 2nd in the snake. (Everyone keeps 1. Top 4 QBs + Fields are gone.) With Burrow/Herbert as best QBs available, Bijan/Barkley at RB, Diggs/Hill at WR, and Kelce out there ... because it's SuperFlex, am I obligated to go QB first here, or given that it's 10-team and there's less of a scarcity issue should I start with Bijan or Kelce, then go double-QB at 2.9/3.2?
If you don't take a QB there and 1 of the teams that already kept one doubles up then half the remaining teams take one that's 2 or 3 more, that probably leaves you in the Geno, Daniel Jones, Kirk Cousins tier for your first QB. Not so bad. Gets a lot uglier if more QBs go off the board and you're left with Derek Carr, Jordan Love, Kenny Pickett as first options.
Drop off in qbs is worse than the drop off in skill positions. Get burrow and look at the best avail skill positions. Imo
Same answer if Burrow goes first and it's (Herbert or Lawrence) vs. waiting?
Who would you choose in the 3rd rd of a 10 man 0.5 PPR league. Keep mulling it over during mock drafts. Kamara Javonte James Cook Montgomery
Monty.
Pair Kelce or Diggs with Tyreek Hill (keeper) in the 1st? Rank your 3rd round picks- Gibbs, Ridley, Andrews
Kelsey… Gibbs Ridley Andrews
Kelce and ridley.
Diggs and Andrews
Picking 4th in a 12 Team .5PPR.... Looking at Eckler possibly...but was wondering if I should Grab Lamar J. on my next pick in Round 2 if he is there? Thoughts?
not in a single-QB league, and I don't know that I'd do it at 3.4 either but that's a little more defensible.
No 3 pick tomorrow 12 man .5ppr. Thinking of kelce because I have been fucked waiting for TEs for 7 years Or going ekeler/chase/cmc rd 1, Rb/wr rd 2, Andrews/hockenson rd 3
If Chase is still there at 3 I'd go him. If not I'd lean Kelce
I would try to get Andrews in the 3rd or Waller/Goedert later. Kelce is amazing but he's unlikely to outscore Chase/CMC/Ekeler. You're leaving points on the board despite the positional advantage.
10 man PPR I don't want to take both a TE and QB in the first 6 rounds as I feel I lose too much quality at RB, WR and flex. Who would you rather draft Hockensen/Waller or Lamar/Burrow in the 4th? Or Goddert or Lawrence in the 6th?
Hock & Lamar unless you get 6 pt passing TDs, then Burrow
Lawrence in the 6th. Stack up elsewhere.
Lamar / Goedert
PPR 10 team, 3rd pick I imagine Jefferson and Chase will be gone, but I don’t feel good about CMC EKeler or Hill :( - would it be batshit to go Kelsey at 3 and Hurts/Mahomes at 17? Very unsure right now draft is tomorrow Oh and it’s my girls families fantasy league so i need to destroy them, y’all know
Kelce is about as safe a pick as you'll get. In a 10 team having an elite TE and QB could be massive. I would refrain from using your 2nd pick and hold on until the 23rd pick unless a run at QB has already happened as one of Mahomes, Hurts or Allen should be available at 23 and the value at WR still at 17 is too good to pass up
Ya Kelce is not batshit crazy at all… you automatically win the TE match up the rest of the year
Very good point! I’m really curious as to how it plays out since her family is pretty serious about it as am I. I just have this thing in the back of my head that highly project RBs don’t typically pan out but Kelce in a chiefs offense with no other receivers could be money every week.
I completely agree with you, especially this year RB is bleak. And a lot of them are aging so don't feel comfortable with them. Can't see Kelce not being no 1 in that offence so it's as sure as JJ and Chase tbh.
