12 team PPR. 16 rounds. 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1FLEX (RB, WR, TE), 1TE, 1DST, 1K.
scoring: 6PASSTD, 1 per 25yd passing, 1 per 10 rushing, 1 per catch. 6 per receiving/rushing TD.

I had first pick, but stipulation was I had 6th pick 3rd round (31st pick) instead of first (25th).

QB Cam Newton
RB Melvin Gordon
RB2 Frank Gore
WR Antonio Brown
WR2 TY Hilton
TE Coby Fleener
FLEX Eric Decker
DST: Texans
K: Boswell

RB BENCH: Arian Foster, Dion Lewis, Spencer Ware
WR Bench: Sterling Shepherd, Sammie Coates
TE BENCH: Antonio Gates
QB BENCH: Derek Carr


Notes: first time I have ever drafted a QB before 4th round (2nd) but i wanted two elite players at their position and I think my WRS are still solid.

I didn't draft a RB until 6th round mainly because I believe that RBS in PPR in 2016 are mainly damage control. I picked up foster and Gordon hoping potential breakouts and gore nothing special but a every down starter.

What do you guys think?

Yeah I like it. in 6 pt passing leagues I'm sure getting Cam early is beneficial. A lot of people might have preferred you taking an RB where you took Cam. I still think your team drops big scores on people quite often. I probably draft another RB over Gates though.

Not getting a top 6 or so QB in this format is kind of rough. Is this 4pt passing TDs? What QBs were still there in the 2nd when you took Dez?

You went D.Johnson, then Wr,wr,wr,wr?

I am in a very similar set up league drafting next week.

I can't justify a QB in round 2 this year. But you did well with the later rounds.
I also think Arian Foster is probably your best RB. Start him over Gore.

I think 10-team leagues are hard to get an awful team, so this is far from bad. But I think you could have done way way way better here. You have 4 nice receivers to choose from in a PPR so that's obviously your greatest strength. I don't love Alshon nor his injury record and TY can be boom, bust. Dez will obviously get targets and TDs but so much of that depends on Romo's health. If Romo gets hurt this team goes to **** real quick and there is no elite or even top 10 QB in a 2 QB league, 1 elite RB then a bunch of huge huge question marks, and no elite TE. I think you could have done better but it's not terrible. Looks more like a 12-team draft than a 10-team one

What do you guys think?
Curious what the stipulation meant for the guy with the 6th pick overall. He got your first pick in the 3rd round? Did it work that way for everyone throughout? Sounds like a reverse snake but more complicated. What about the guy with the 12th pick for example?

Major spew taking Cam 2nd especially in a 6 point passing TD league. That takes away a major advantage of Cam being the top QB off the board and any excuse to be taken that high, which there is still no excuse for. Your best RB may well be on your bench (Foster) and that's not good. Gore is fantasy purgatory. You're not winning leagues with Frank Gore starting.

Obv love Brown at WR and overall your receiving core isn't bad. I like Decker in full PPR. See Hilton comments above, but he's obviously not bad to have in your team. What RBs were available at the time of your 2nd pick? That was where your major major major mistake was. I get the elite RBs were off the board but you simply can't take Cam there. Also you know Dion Lewis is hurt for ~10 weeks right? Going to let him take up a roster spot in in hopes he returns to an extremely unpredictable Bill Bellicheck offense?

I've been mocking a lot to get ready for my 2QB league. I have been doing mocks on Fantasy Pros against the computer and FFC against real people. On Fantasy Pros I can set it up just like the league but FFC is just generisc2QB without a format (3WR? Flex? PPR?).

The league is high scoring as it is 2 QB 6 Point passing TDs. Full point PPR with 3 WRs, 2 RB, TE and 2 Flex with 5 bench a DEF and K. So you have to draft lots of playable guys with so many starting.

I have the first pick (10 teams) and will definitely take Antonio Brown. It all depends on who/what falls but not planning on taking QBs until the round 6/7 turn. I'm happy letting everybody else pick 2 QBs before me. Unless one of the top 5 QBs drops to me at the round 2/3 turn. This has never happened on Fantasy Pros and only once on FFC. Here are a couple mocks I did on FFC.

This one is pretty typical of what I am getting
https://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/draft/3624405

This is the one where Brees fell through to me
https://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/draft/3624317

These FFC drafts are sort of unrealistic because they are generic in format.

Do you think waiting on QB is a foolish strategy? Last year I took Luck in round one and Romo in round 4 and was scrambling on the wire ending up with Fitzmagic and T. Taylor and QB was not my biggest problem. Plus productive position players are a premium in this league. I just don't see the standouts after those first few guys and I am not burning the #1 pick on them and there is too much other value at 2/3 and 4/5 or am I nuts?

mrbaseball do you pay for premium on Fantasy Pros? If so how do you like it. I paid for it so I could do unlimited mock drafts, but I also thought I was getting it for the entire season. Now I realize I gotta pay another $20 for the season and I'm assuming that's for their waiver wire rankings/sit start stuff. Worth it? Have you done it? Are there more hidden costs down the road?

Had my first draft Saturday night. It's more an excuse to get a bunch of us together once a year with kids and work taking up more and more time every year, so it's far from the most competitive league. Live drafts are so much fun though. I laughed my ass off and by round 3 didn't care about any of my picks anymore, as I'm sure my draft reflects. 12-team full point PPR, 6 pt TDs picked from the 5th spot

QB-Bortles (10)
RB-David Johnson (1), Duke Johnson (5), Arian Foster (6), Jeremy Langford (7), DeAndre Washington (11)
WR- Brandon Marshall (2), Amari Cooper (3), Kevin White (8), Josh Gordon (9), Mohamed Sanu (12), Josh Doctson (13), Tyler Boyd (14)
TE- Greg Olsen (4)
D/ST- Houston Texans (15)
K - Brandon McManus (16)

No, I don't pay anything for it. I thought unlimited mock drafts were free? I have done a bunch over the years and never paid anything.

Think you get x amount a day. I'm just in too many leagues. 5 last year, 6 this year. And I feel like I end up neglecting all but 1 or 2 of them after a few weeks. Just looking for something to give a quick plug and play for weekly lineups

Thanks man. Ironically I have my most competitive/highest stakes live draft next week and it's a keeper league. I would love to have this team in a keeper league with my keeper (Gurley) in place of my 4th round pick Olsen and I'm sure I'll completely **** up in that draft.

Overall I'm pretty happy with this one. I don't like having an RB as my flex in a PPR but I feel like after David Johnson any of the remaining 4 could have decent to very good years and I could see myself trading one for a WR when teams need RBs.

Probably spewed on Olsen in the 4th but like I said I didn't love anyone else there.

I don't mean to be a dick by I think it's a bit overkill to post a bunch of mocks you've done and have people grade them. Just give the highlights and ask about this player vs. that player. But we all do 100 mocks and the actual draft ends up turning out very different usually. Post your actual drafts since that's the team you are actual set with

Having said that, it's obviously a very very very good team. There is 0% chance you get that irl tho

This is fine. I honestly roll my eyes every time I see a post like this:

Late round QB (LRQB) absolutely applies to 2QB leagues as well. The difference is that, unlike 1 QB leagues, you obviously can't wait until round 12 to get your first QB. Basically the idea is that you draft 3 (or 4) and play the matchups. The poster earlier who had Rivers + Romo + Cutler as his platoon had the right idea (though instead of Cutler, other QBs near his ADP that I'd prefer would be Flacco or Fitz).

That you were able to pick up TyGod and Fitz last year is another reason why LRQB works. Statistically, it'll happen again this year that a few other QBs emerge as legit starters. Not to mention QB is the easiest position to predict on a week-to-week basis.

This applies even for leagues where you don't have as many extra RB/WR/TE spots to fill. In your league with such extra flex spots, LRQB will be that much stronger a strategy.

This is the mock thread. It even says so in the title!

Just trying to get some feedback (which I haven't gotten) on the strategy of waiting on QB in a 2 QB draft.

Thanks! That is what I was thinking and yes my experience from last season absolutely pushed me this way. As always it depends on what and who falls to me but this is the plan I think I like best.

I honestly do like the team and think it is probable in a 2 QB league to get this team if you are waiting on QB's. I would imagine it might be rough though if Cousins Flops which is a high possibility.

I am in a very similar set up league drafting next week.
All QBs but Can and Rodgers were available. But needed a WR. Then took three
