This guy should easily outperform his ADP

Not sure why yahoo dislikes Goodwin, but he did climb on draft boards very quickly since original rankings came out. Yahoo rarely makes big adjustments.

Both teams look good to me.

Again, thanks for the feedback.

Would you looking to pickup a Fat Rob Kelly (as an AP handcuff, backup plan) or someone like Samuels and dropping any of my admittedly ****ty RBs? Maybe try to move Allen Robinson for a 2nd tier RB like Crowell or Tevin Coleman? Move OBJ or Hopkins for a bottom tier 1/top tier 2 RB (Cook, Howard, Mixon)? Or let it roll and see what we have?

Auction Draft: 6 point QB TD's, PPFD QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE/Flex/K/D

1. Philly D $2
2. DeAndre Hopkins WR $59
3. Jordan Howard RB $38
4. Russell Wilson QB $12
5. Christian McCaffrey RB $40
6. JuJu Smith-Schuster WR $17
7. Jake Elliot K $1
8. Jarvis Landry WR $12
9. James White RB $3
10. Tevin Coleman RB $6
11. Jordan Reed TE $3
12. Philip Rivers QB $1
13. Latavius Murray RB $1
14. Ryan Grant WR $1
15. James Conner RB $1
16. Kalen Ballage RB $1
17. Chad Williams WR $1
18. New England D $1

Mistakes I made were spewing on Wilson and JuJu. I could have gotten Cousins for $2 towards the end. Rivers was a glitch, I would never pick a 2nd qb on purpose. All in all, I am pretty happy with this draft, but I am going to need to work the wire to sure up the WR core.

Thoughts?

I personally wouldn't bother with Kelly. Even if AP gets hurt or just sucks and loses the job (I dont think he will lose the job due to sucking) you dont want to be starting Fat Rob.

I def wouldn't trade Hopkins or OBJ either. If you get a fair offer for Robinson then sure, but no need to make any kind of panic trade now where you lose value. I'd be totally fine playing it out for a couple weeks.

Ya, your team is fine. I wouldn't think about trading one of your top WR's until one or 2 of your WR3's start showing something.
Do you have IR and planning on throwing Foreman there? Hope so because he may be some dead weight to carry for awhile.
You probably already know but as your possible poor man's Eckler replacement, grab that Phillip Lindsay kid from Denver as a PPR flier if you have the roster spot. Besides that, the RB's looked to be picked pretty clean for now but someone will pop up.

Annual SE A League draft auction is complete (the front page draft)

here is the draft results, anonymous

image makes it hard, but just rate the teams 1-12 from left to right I guess



$200 budget

2/3/5/7/9/10 look alright

3, 5, and 12 look reasonably solid.

12 team full PPR, out of the #10 spot.
Start qb/3wr/2rb/2flex/te
So a bit deeper starting lineups than usual, can start up to 5 WRs

When 7 RB's went before my first pick and then Gordon, McCaffrey, Hunt, and Cook all went between my #10 and #15 picks I decided to try something a bit different than I usually do. Not sure how much I like the result. Some questionable picks for sure. Hoping one of my bench WRs becomes a locked in flex starter within the first month or so.

QB - Cam(7)
WR - Beckham(1), M.Thomas(2), T.Y.(3)
RB - Miller(4), Burkhead(6)
TE - Doyle(11)
Flex - Goodwin(5), Jamaal Williams(8)
DEF - Pats(17)

Bench - Duke Johnson(9), Austin Ekeler(14), Corey Clement(16)
Tyler Lockett(10), Michael Gallup(12), Chris Godwin(13)
Andrew Luck(15)

12 team standard with 2 wr 2 flex



qb is an absurdly deep position this year, might switch out rivers for roethlisberger

I'd keep Rivers over Roeth, especially with the Bell situation.

In general seems like a solid draft. Nothing stands out as either a huge bargain or a reach. Personally would have passed on Jones for a RB with chance to play right now. I like to churn the end of my bench, and problem with Jones is that you really need to hold him until the suspension is done to see if he's going to have any value.

12 team, non-PPR 1 flex, no kickers.

3 keepers were Kamara, McCaffrey, and Keenan Allen.

Had the 3rd pick in a non-snake draft.

QB - Luck (9), Carr (15)
WR - K. Allen (K), D.Thomas (5), Woods (7), Watkins (8), Cobb (10), Gallup (12), J. Brown (13)
RB - Kamara (K), McCaffrey (K), D. Freeman (4), R. Jones II (11)
TE - Olsen (6)
DEF - Ravens (14)

Would have preferred not to have 3 RBs so early, but decided that the drop-off from Freeman to best WRs available (Diggs, Thielen, Baldwin) was just too big. Will drop Carr once Luck officially going to play.

Like both teams baseball, but like the Zeke team the most. It's tough to say much without knowing who you passed on in some spots.

PPR Auction last night w/ 2 keepers. Was too patient at the beginning and missed some bigger names that went for decent prices, but seemed better as the draft went on.

Ezekiel Elliott, Dal RB (K) $41
Josh Gordon, Cle WR (K) $8
33 Keenan Allen, LAC WR $52 - last WR1 available and I had most money
46 Joe Mixon, Cin RB $31 - wanted two tier 1's, but I passed on price.
66 Chris Thompson, Wsh RB $9 - got caught with him, but I don't mind.
68 Lamar Miller, Hou RB $18 - was a target
76 Emmanuel Sanders, Den WR $15 - target
96 Chargers D/ST D/ST $1
97 Jamison Crowder, Wsh WR $5 - like him here in PPR w/ Alex Smith
106 Kenny Stills, Mia WR $3
109 Deshaun Watson, Hou QB $7 - thought team was middling and points matter, went for Home run.
115 Bilal Powell, NYJ RB $2
116 Harrison Butker, KC K $1
124 Matt Breida, SF RB $3
136 George Kittle, SF TE $1
140 Courtland Sutton, Den WR $2 - him or Tre'Quan Smith?


Other players: AB $66, OBJ $51, AJG $51, Julio $53, Hilton $43, Barkley $50, DJ $57, Cook $43, Freeman $46, CMC $55, Bell $61, Fournette $58,

I have to drop Hunter Henry but our league only allows us to roster 8RBs. So to get Lindsay I'd have to drop an RB and just not sure who to drop as all are flyers. Guys like Foreman (who yea I plan on hanging on to given my RB situation), Jones III and Chubb who hopefully get a shot down the road once their teams realize their starting RBs are trash. And then guys like Hill and Blount whose roles aren't really known yet and might be a decent play if I'm desperate to vulture a TD or something. So who would you drop to pick of Lindsay if anyone?

PPR 12 team QB td's = 4 pts.
3wrs/2rbs/1te/1flex/no kickers

League only pays 1st and 2nd (plus total points)
I figure with a top heavy league I wanted to gamble a little with Gordon. I love Freeman and planned on picking him there no matter what. I also had pre planned on taking Gordon and Henry where I got them. My biggest mistake was not taking Kittle at 11 so I got some work at TE (still waiver/trade options).

Yahoo gave me a D+ Ha! Like waterwolves, I'm projected to be worst in my league LMAO

Thoughts? Likes/hates?

Round Pick Player Position

If I really wanted Lindsay I'd drop Foreman but I think they are equal fliers at this point. I'm a Forman owner in dynasty and I'm fully expecting this year to be a write off. Achilles for a RB was pretty much a career ender a few years ago. I just don't see him coming in right after week 6 and being useful but I'm not going to go to battle with someone if they think differently. We all have our sleepers that we want to see pan out.
A player like Lindasy, Eckler, Cohen, etc... need an OC that can gameplan to take advantage of those guys, does Denver have that play caller? I don't know. Also, remember Lindsay is an undrafted FA, he's going to really have to light it up to take all of Booker's touches.
Again, I think your team is fine. Blount could very well be the early season lead back, Hyde gets hurt, all kinds of things that can get you one of your RB's to low RB2+ level.

@ BGnight

You sure you got the right Freeman at the end of round 2?

Cam too early (esp if you can get Jimmy in r13)

Don't love the Henry pick, but if he's "your guy", I get it (I was all over him last year)

Fuller could be a steal in r7

Agree Kittle in r11 would have been nice.


Think you need to have much stronger WRs in a league like that

12 team non PPR, 11th pick

QB Russ (5), Mahomes (14)
RB M Gordon (1), McCaffery (2), Burkhead (7), C Clement (11), J Wilkins (12)
WR Hilton (3), Juju (4), Fitz (6), Crowder (8), Jeffery (9)
TE Njoku (10)
K Prater (15)
D Baltimore (13)

Feel like I went to value town a lot. Took Mahomes 2nd to last round in case he pops off. Don't usually get 2 QB's but after getting Watson'd last year, yea.

Missed out on Royce Freeman 1 pick before me. My only real draft frustration.

^ really like everything you did here except Russell in the 5th. Not as familiar with non-ppr scoring though

While I usually contend that, for the most part, the lower the grade Yahoo gives your draft, the better it was...this grade seems fairly accurate. Hopefully Gurley has a season as amazing as last year. Good luck!

Yeah Russ pick obv terrible, but Fitz/Burkhead in 6/7 helps make up for it. Other than that looks solid. Nice job.

Obviously Royce went pick right before me so Russ was definitely a **** kind of pick. I didn't love anything in that spot. For arguments sake Rodgers went R2. Watson and Brady R4. Brees and Matt Ryan (guy was on crack) R5 then I took Russ.

And no I'll never draft Cam.

12 team PPR live draft from pick 2 - Tuesday night

Thoughts? I did zero mocks with both early TE & QB picks so felt lost the entire way

DJ(2) (Gurley went 1 and had already talked myself out of Bell)
Gronk(23) (wanted Howard or Evans - never happy taking a TE this early)
T Hill(26) (wanted Mixon - this was purely WWWWD pick)
A Rodgers(47) (waited patiently for Collins or Miller to fall - they didn't - I panicked)
Marvin Jones(50) (?? Sanders and Landry went right after this pick - indefensible)
J Crowder(71) (thought Ingram/J Williams or Burkhead would get back to me)
P Barber(74) (him and Hyde really only 2 starting RBs still on the board)
K Benjamin(95) (no clue what I was thinking )
M Breida(98) (time for some RB longshots - may be better in PPR than Morris)
D Parker(119) (my new Kenny Britt - this will be year 4 he disappoints me)
A Jones(122) (really happy here - chance to be the guy in a month)
C Clement(143) (guy next to me at the draft was an Eagles fan - said this guy was good)
J Conner(146) (selected solely b/c Le'Veon likes strip clubs and making rap songs)
S Ware(167) (guy used to have an RB1 job)
D Carr(170) (wasted pick - same bye week as Rodgers)
M Prater(191) (homer pick - he does hold the record longest FG )
TEN Def(194) (cheat sheet pick)

I hate D. Freeman. While not an elite talent, my eyes tell me Royce is a real deal 3 down back and he would have been gone in next 10 picks anyway.
Cam was 2nd in PPR scoring last season (7th overall) and 4 pt TD's favors him even more. He's a steal at the end of the 6th imo.

I agree though, if Gordon doesn't pan out I need to make some trades for WR.
