Got the #5 pick in my first league.  Bijan time?

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

Please do it after you invite the rest of us into that league. 

[Guest]

Not playing for the first time in 30 years, besides Covid season. Yes you read it right, back when we got the USA Today on Mondays and Tuesdays and hand scored every player. Has been a lot of fun.  Just not feeling it this year.

I think its a slight reach but not totally unreasonable

I think this year, the top two are obvious.  3-9, I think there can be healthy debate.  I may want later picks.

[MoJames 8244]

I'm gonna draft Rick Barnes in the first round.

As long as you don't take Justin Tucker from me do whatever you want 

[ocugolf 1214]

In a keeper league, we have Breece Hall as a 5th rounder.  The Jets signing Dalvin really makes me wonder if we should look elsewhere.  .5 PPR. Kelce as a 2nd rounder or Akers as a 7th rounder may be better options.  If we keep a player for more than one time, the round is divided by 2.  So if we keep Breece, next year, we could keep him as our 2nd or 3rd rounder.  Thoughts?  Also have Adams as 1st, Mahomes as 6th.

[HornPhD 1368]

I have the number one pick in a superflex league. Mahomes, Allen, or Hurts? Rushing TDs are worth 8 points.

I'd look elsewhere. Hall is legit, but he's coming off an ACL and Dalvin isn't going to play second fiddle.

Mahomes or Hurts, but how can you pass on Mahomy? I've never played a superflex league, is it just nonstop QBs in round one? Mahomes and Lawrence/Watson at the end of the second would be studly 

[ztejas 43412]

I just took Bijan 7th*.

This is probably going to end terribly.

[Rip76 4925]

I’ve got pick #2.

Going Bijan.

[ztejas 43412]

12 team PPR. Had #7 and #18 to open. 

I'm feeling okay. A lot of dice rolls. Jeudy was my big gamble.

I’m considering this with pick 2, but it’s going to be difficult to pass on McCaffrey, Jefferson, or Chase.

I just had to.

I wanted to care a little bit.

[Doc Sam Beckett 5792]

I don't know what the hell happened, but I have a dope team for the 2020 season. Kamara, Ridley, Hopkins

So my main league switched to super flex 5 years ago. At first I hated it because I didn’t know how to draft and got stuck with one QB many weeks.  
 

But now I love it.  It makes the draft a lot more interesting because you either get QBs early or you steal a ton of value as guys that would be 1st round in a 1QB league fall.  
 

But man, drafting 11th if I need a QB, sweating out 20 picks and crossing fingers there isn’t a run can be excruciating.  
 

 

[gyroprotagonist 2592]

10/10 and 10/12 draft order this season.  accurate thread title is accurate.  

Thinking i will go WR/WR 

[Doc Sam Beckett 5792]

Wanna grab Doubs, but who to drop Dillon or Gibson? 

[ChickenSandwich 9829]

Hoe much do you believe in the Green Bay offense?

Superflex league and 8 QBs taken in Round 2 befire I picked at 11.  Ended up with McCaffrey and Bijan.  Then Tua fell to me at end of round 3 which never happened in the mocks.  My other two QBs probably suck, and I don't really have a running qb, so  I can't have Tua getting hurt, but I am liking my draft for once.  Will be streaming TEs this year, I guess.....

(12 Team, Superflex, 0.5PPR, 4 pt TD passes)

Not a whole lot, but I'm starting to buy into the Doubs looking like Love's favorite target hype. I have... 

WR - Ridley, Higgins, Hopkins and Evans 

RB - Mattinson, Javonte Williams, Kamara, Perine, Gibson and Dillon 

TE - Okonkwo

Kinda want to dump Gibson or Dillon for either Doubs or LaPorta. Take a chance on a high upside, rather than carry two retreads 

[ChickenSandwich 9829]

Laporta seems like the easiest drop.

[closetohumping 17435]

Dynasty mode? *gulp*

[Firemans4Horn 18036]

Did my first auction draft. Spent too much money early and later lots of good depth was going for cheap but I was out of money. Oh well, guess I’ll have to be a waiver wire shark. 

[CurlyDumps 4468]

I did my first auction last night.  Half PPR, 4 pt passing TDs:

 

QB: Richardson

RB: Saquon, Dobbins, Ken Walker, Khalil Herbert, Jaylen Warren, Roschon

WR: Waddle, Amari Cooper, Kirk, DJ Moore, Doubs

TE: Goeddert

DST: Pittsburgh

I really like my team except for the big question mark at QB. I was the last person to take a QB. Really wanted Tua for a buck but I got outbid and didn't have enough to bid $3.

Man, what happened to Rotoworld aka "NBC Sports Edge?" What used to be a sleek and aesthically pleasing layout to look at for fantasy news now looks like shit. Like some fake wanna-be Athletic thrown together on Godaddy.com.

Welcome to the party, pal. It's especially terrible when QBs score so many more points than other positions. 

[closetohumping 17435]

First draft tonight for me too.  In four leagues.  I'm an addict

Gotta be Jefferson right?

 

Also, it's a lot of work, but dynasty mode looks to be legit.

I did take JJ and ended up happy with my team overall.

I’m also doing possibly 4 leagues (one pending). I, too, am a glutton for punishment.

I'm gonna take JJ first as well.  I wish I didn't have the #1 pick tbh but he should dominate.

[Bartles 769]

What are y'all plotting for Jonathan Taylor now that he's got to sit four weeks minimum? I think this happened with Leveon back in the day?

Seems like Taylor's value is tied to some team having an RB1 injury, which could certainly happen. But then they need to have the money to sign JT and be willing to risk his own injury situation, plus his bitchiness. I'm staying away for at least 5-6 rounds (someone will totally take him by then).

[Hank_Hill 18793]

I gambled on him 3rd round 2 days ago. Panic decision as I’d gone WR first 2 picks (1 and 20 spot). I predictably lost that bet. Looking back had Hurts and Allen right there but wasn’t even thinking QB yet.

Had two drafts last night. He went second round in one of them. 8th in the other 

[closetohumping 17435]

Any dynasty players?   If so are you more apt to draft a qb in the first?

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

$1M auction draft tonight, 17 teams, 2 QB, takes fucking forever.

Depends, super-flex absolutely. PPR absolutely not.

[Enemy07 288]

@ztejas How were you able to draft B Rob, D Smith and N Chubb? That is 3 top 20 players. I have 10th slot in a ppc. Have not played in 10 years. I am thinking of going WR RB QB WR or WR RB WR WR.  Snake method.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Off to a blistering start.

Super glad I outsmarted everybody and picked kelce first overall. FFB

[shadow_operative2.0 15950]

@NorthLoop, @Anton Chigurh, @Radical Larry, @TexasIsBetter, 9:00 tonight, bros.

Devonta shouldn't be going top 20 even in ppr leagues. I actually have him in 2 leagues - got him 31st in one and 35th in another. 

I thought Chubb fell a little too far to 18th but then again that league is full of morons.

Pick #2 tonight…

[UnivTex34 1763]

Just got offered Allen/Cook/Kelce/Higgins for Dak/Andrews/AJ Brown/Bijan. Standard league.

Major upgrade at QB, Upgrade at TE, but now with minor injury concerns. Big Downgrade at RB and minor downgrade at WR. 

 

I tend to way overthink these, but this seems like a no brainer? Thoughts? 

[ztejas 43412]

My thoughts are who the fuck is trading half their team before any games have been played.

No fan of Dak, but I would want to be on that side of the trade (pre-week one mind you).

M Andrews, Bijan, AJ Brown >>>>>> Kelce (inj), Higgins and Cook (regardless of which one)

 

Seems like a basic trade for Allen and he unloads an injured Kelce for MAndrews.  If you want Allen that bad see about a trade just for him.

Really like Jaylen Warren this year. Going to be this years Tony Pollard. 

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

Javante or Jamal Williams this weekend?  I know which is the better long term play.  Leaning toward Jamal even though I took Javante as my RB2.  0.5 PPR if it matters.
