I think I would do Fournette for the 2nd Hopkins for the 4th and Hill for the 5th. Then at pick 2 you get Gurley or AB back at worst and still have a 3rd round pick.

I have the 3rd pick in my 10 team league. I'm assuming Bell and Gurley go in the first two.

I already took DJ in my other league, so I don't want him again to reduce some variance.

At first, I was thinking Zeke. But I don't feel good about him this year.

I'm not as big on Kamara at his ADP as every one else. I'm also not a fan of taking a rookie RB at 3, so that kind of takes out Saquon. Even though I think he is going to beast.

I've considered Brown, but I think I have to take a back at 3 given the quality of backs at the top.

Honestly, as crazy as it might sound, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on Fournette at 3. Am I crazy?

I drafted AP for $2 (out of $500) tonight in a .5ppr dynasty league that starts 1qb/2rb/3wr/1te/2flex/1def & 8 bench spots (18 total players). Is he worth a bench spot and how’s the squad look for a 12 teamed?

Godgers, Winston
Leveon, Barkley, Lamar miller, Cohen, barber, AP
Hilton, Watkins, Cobb, Parker, doctson, Tyrell Williams, moncrief, Geronimo
Ebron

I don’t like having to start Hilton and Ebron every week especially with the uncertainty of Luck. I like the RB depth and QB, did you have a lot of money left over or did you overpay for some people?

It is a dynasty/keeper league so we kept 11 and drafted 7 (really 5 players plus a TE & def). We actually make it so non-playoff teams get extra draft money the following year based on their conso bracket and regular season finish and I finished with the most draft money. I went back and forth with the guy with the 2nd highest amount of money on barkley and ended up spending $580 of my $610 on Barkley.

AP for $2 is fine, and he should def be rostered in a league that deep. Unfortunately I'm not so sure Ebron is rosterable even with rosters that deep...and you have to start him

RB's look really great, but man those WR's are rough too. I'd be trying to find whoever has some combination of weakest starting QB and strongest backup TE with good WR depth and try to package Rodgers to them, but I know it's usually really hard to trade QB's so I'm not sure how successful those attempts would be. Hopefully there are some Packers fans in your league

Yeah I got surprised with how many TE got kept (going into our 2nd season so I didn’t know what to expect with keepers). When you blow your load on Barkley you are going to suffer at other positions so I’m hoping he is the stud I think.

I’d much rather trade away a RB for a TE, but I’m holding out hope a startable TE pops up early in the year. Btw- I’m the packers fan so I’m not giving up Rodgers unless it is for something really shiny (plus it is 6 pt pass TDs so I am a believer in stud QBs).

ASJ or Seals-Jones available? Hooper? Gesicki? Brate? McDonald? Not sure how rosters that deep would affect the TE waiver wire but prefer all those guys to Ebron. Luck has played 43 snaps so far this preseason, Doyle's been in on 40 of them, Ebron on 12 🤢

How many leagues are you in? If you're looking to reduce variance, it's better to do so by playing 1-2 more leagues instead of making sub-optimal decisions in the few leagues you're in.

In any event, I agree with you on not taking Zeke at 1.03.

you take the best player, dont get fancy with your #1 pick. vary up the middle rounds, sure, but dont mess around with your top picks

So this PPR keeper decision of mine will not go away, because 2 other players seem of good value now. I can pick ONE of:

Engram with an 8th
Hogan with an 8th
D Watson with an 8th
Hunt with a 2nd

Hogan and Watson both with ADPs in round 4, makes for some nice value. Engram's ADP is the 6th. Hunt seems like mediocre value.

Who else are you keeping? 3wr league?

What sites offer best ball and with more than a maximum of 12 teams?
I know of the DRAFT app on phone but that is a 12 team maximum. I'm looking to make a 16 team league

I entered one today no problem.

Still having an issue?

How down on amari cooper are we this year?

Should be a solid contender to lead the league in (expected minus realized) TDs

Yep, take DJ. If it's PPR you could think about Brown I guess.

The #4 pick is more interesting with the Dallas o-line looking a bit questionable

ASJ, Seals-Jones, Hooper & McDonald are available out of that group. Do you have a strong preference on any?

ASJ for floor, Seals-Jones for ceiling I'd say. Have them ranked back-to-back at the moment. Given that there are multiple reasonable options on the wire, I'd prob gamble on Seals-Jones personally. Read something yesterday about McDonald being unsure for week 1 so maybe eliminate him from consideration.



Also to the guy considering not taking DJ...please take DJ!

Just read this entire thread! Fantasy football seems to sneak up on me every year. Still pretty involved in fantasy baseball and it seems too early for football

Started reading articles and listening to podcasts and watching tout shows etc. and feel overwhelmed but it doesn't really matter as the most terrific looking draft can look like crap 2 weeks in. But I have my first draft next week so I will spend a lot of time reading and mocking this weekend to get ready. But this thread is always a good starting point as 2+2 has some pretty sharp FF minds.

Easy game. Give up Fantasy Baseball.

6 FBG writers & 6 non-FBG fantasy league writers got together and did a mock draft using PPR scoring + all TDs are 6 points. They also answered some questions before the draft and one of those questions was how does passing TDs being 6 points alter your draft strategy and almost all said it doesn't. Here is a quote from one of these pros:

"It is the same for me as it would be if they were four points per touchdown. My strategy at quarterback is to target efficient throwers, and efficient throwers generate touchdowns. Additionally, late-round quarterbacks get as many points for their touchdown passes as the early-round guys, so there's no true incentive for me to deviate from my general strategy of waiting at the position."

I want to tweet at that guy and tell him late round RBs get as many points for their rushing TDs as the early round guys and the same for WRs, TEs, DEFs and K so why draft at all.

If you don't believe 6 points for pass TDs should alter your draft strategy that is fine, but the bolded part of his statement shouldn't be your reason why.

NEVER! Fantasy baseball is basically free money while fantasy football is a pure crapshoot.

I believe Aaron Rodgers was the first pick in the second round of that draft too.

And no I'm not advocating taking a QB that early.
