Way better challenge for you I'd suspect.

ya i love vareen (being a cal alum prolly helps).

i drafted him in the very late rounds last year and then stashed him the entire time he was injured and he crushed for me when he came back.

i doubt i could get him that late this year in a real draft (but i really have no idea how accurate these mocks are).

and ya def need to get more depth at RB, kinda spaced (was drafting on my phone so when the roster spots filled up i didn't realize it kept going and i had more bench spots heh).

i was planning on taking a QB later and shooting for cutler/romo/rivers but when i saw stafford at the end of round 6 felt like it was too good to pass up.

edit: its funny cuz last year in my real league (.5ppr) i was super strong at RB:

AP
murray
vareen
stacy

and could only play 2 RBs but my WR depth was lacking (wayne getting injured hurt me alot)

djax
gordon
wayne (injured)
austin (lol)
edelman
streeter

had to play 3 WRs

TE was jimmy and QB was cam.

i lucksacked and picked 1st but i originally had julio and DMC and traded them like 2 weeks before both got injured for jimmy + murray+ austin.

won the reg season but finished 2nd in playoffs.

awesome ty.

you like maclin more then wayne?

i was big on wayne as indy has one of the easiest schedules, and if he can stay healthy he's a PPR beast as luck loves him, and TY+nicks should open up alot of room over the middle for him.

but i'm a pretty huge square at this stuff so thats good advice, cuz i would def have taken wayne before maclin.

colston also seems like he could beast mode based on his performance once he came back from injury last season, you also rate maclin higher than him?

appreciate all the advice guys, can't believe i didn't get into this sooner, i watch every damn game anyways.

FF is the absolute nuts.

can't wait to do fantasy hockey next year.

who would you take 1st: dez or demaryius?

Hard for me to buy into a 36 year old coming off ACL surgery. Even dudes in their prime (that aren't AP) struggle the year after tearing an ACL, don't really want to put to much faith into someone that old coming back as good as new. I mean, he'd prob be due for a regression even if he stayed healthy last year due to age alone. Also read a recent article about which WR's improve QB's efficiency and which ones hurt it, and Luck/Wayne was one of the worst combos, signaling to me that volume of targets is the main thing that Wayne needed, so having more options (TY/Nicks) may actually hurt him more than it helps.

I like Colston too. Think he is a bit underrated this year and him and Maclin are close, but Maclin's upside in that DJax role in Chip's O is just too good for me to pass him up for the established high floor/low ceiling of Colston. I realize that Maclin is coming off ACL surgery too, but his was before last year even started as opposed to middle of the season like Wayne. I don't have a prob with taking the safer route of Colston over Maclin, but Wayne is a tier below those two imo.

I take DT, but it's close enough not to be a huge deal either way imo.

so did a quick PPR 10 team draft from the 7 spot (and ty so much for this link, its soooooo much better than the yahoo mocks).

got kindv tired so not 100% satisfied with my effort.
gonna pass out but all input appreciated.

(think i ****ed up on the QB pick, def jumped the gun on foles, also not sure about my RB selections).

oh ya, think i should've taken julio over marshall.
i rank dez slightly above thomas just cuz dallas faces worse defenses, garrett loves to abandon the run, and payton tends to spread the ball around more than romo. no idea if these assumptions are enough to make dez > thomas so any input on that appreciated.

Ya owning 7 WR's and 4 RBs is probably not a winning strat. Outside of that still a nice team. I may be having trouble adjusting to 10 man since I never play it.

lol ya i meant to take a RB with my last pick to have 6/5 but didn't get it in on time so for some reason it auto drafted a WR instead of a RB (no idea how it decides who to auto draft).

any other glaring mistakes i should work on?

edit: what do you think about taking bell before jennings?
jennings def gonna get more touches, but feels like bell has a much higher TD ceiling.

cheers.

ps: when you do the mocks do you ever even bother drafting in the 1st 5 spots? seems like those positions kindv draft themselves so my plan is to practice 6-10.

is that a mistake?

I think, assuming you are drafting like you would if your real draft was today, I would be snapping up Gordon in the 11th (honestly Im taking a flier on him much higher than the 11th but im higher than most on him)

I'd rather get Rodgers in the 3rd and Cameron in the 6th, and a RB in the 11th round. Otherwise good job. I take Jennings over Bell, but your justification is fine and it's not a big deal either way.

Pretty sure Bell > Jennings by a wide margin.

Edit - omg JOIQUE bell. Never mind. Yeah Jennings > Joique.

Really hate passing on Jimmy at 7, but I guess it Gronk falls to 27 it's fine. Just not sure how likely that happens. Joique pick is spew. Your RB2 isn't a starter, is problem.

Joique is a fine RB#2. Last year he was the 16th RB in standard scoring. He'll get the ball plenty including goal line touches. RBBC is here to stay and there are very few true "bellcow" backs who get the ball all game long. Plus you know Bush gets dinged up at some point. Joique sans injury/bye should start every week in every league at either the RB or flex position. He has tons more value than some second tier WR/TE. That said 4th round may be early but not by much. A lot depends on team makeup and how big the run on RBs has been to that point.

basically a coinflip imo. i'm taking dez because of easier bye week planning (mentioned this last week sometime) and it's probably a less crowded receiving corps

Need a little help with this one...

Playing in a new league this year where we start 1 defensive player with these scoring settings for them:



League settings are 12-teams, .5 PPR, qb / rb / rb / wr / wr / te / k / def / d

How important is that def. player in that format? I can't see past drafts for the league so I'm a little lost, but my initial thought is that with only 12 def. players starting each week that position is really deep and shouldn't be drafted til near the end.

Anyone else still stuck in the 20th century with friends who refuse to adapt and are playing standard? How are you guys drafting?
I'm in a 10 man standard and in a few mocks I've almost always gone RB/WR then some combo of RB/RB/WR/WR then another RB or WR in round 7 depending on who's available each round, but adapt if someone good in another position falls. Have been doing this constantly and then get RG3/Ryan/Brady and Jordan Reed, who I'm pretty high on, in 8/9. Friends are better than a standard mock but probably worse than everyone here. Clearly being a 10 man rather than a 12 helps, but any thoughts?

EDIT: Also, Lacy or Forte? And RG3, Ryan or Brady? And why do people have Joique over so many other RB who are clear starters?

been messing around from the 7-10 spots in 10 team mocks.
what are people's thoughts on best starting picks wrt RB/RB WR/WR WR/RB etc?

.5 n PPR

let's assume the first 6-7 picks are the std top guys.

are we passing on guys like demarco n ball for Julio/Cobb/Nelson etc n filling out RBs with martin/alfmo/ridley etc?

Once McCoy, Peterson, Charles, Forte, Lacy and Lynch are gone and I'm picking at the end I go WR/WR (D. Thomas/Dez for example). I just think they are safer than the RBs available there. Then I pick RBs for the next 4 or 5 rounds. I like lots of the mid tier RBs this year more than the ones that are going from late first round to early 3rd round. I'd rather have money in the bank on my first 2 picks than guys like Martin, Ball, Stacy, Morris etc.

Drafting early I always go RB first though.

Another option is going Jimmy Graham

+1 to mrbaseball, assuming the top 5 rb's and Mega are gone, my ranks in that setup would be something like:

DT
Jimmy
Dez
Julio
BMarsh
AJG
Demarco, Bell or Jordy (close here imo but usually won't come down to this decision from those spots)

So I'm almost always going WR/WR or TE/WR from those spots. Not too keen on filling out RB's with guys like Alfmo and Ridley in that setup though...would prefer guys like Vareen, the DET guys, Ellington, Gerhardt, Jennings, Lamar Miller, etc.

Exactly! I think taking the RB's available at that point (end of first round) just for the sake of taking RB's are too much of a gamble when you can get 2 rock solid top 5 receivers.

just did a mock 10team ppr from 8 spot.
did it on my phone so screenshot too small to be legible but these were my picks in order:

dez
Marshall
Stacy
bush
vareen
Cameron
maclin
Wayne
cam
woodhead
randle
devonta freeman
Chiefs
steve smith
martellus

apologize if i'm spamming this thread, but i'm new to this so need all the help i can get.

how'd i do from the 4 spot here? PPR (what adjustments would you make for .5ppr?)

think i may have taken witten too early.

also, who do we rank higher in .5 n full ppr gerhart or vareen?

had my first Dynasty draft tonight... i think it went well but i don't really know because i didn't do my hw and just kinda drafted young good talent.

its a 12 team auction 1ppr, 1.5ppr for TE's. 1QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/FLEX/D

Rodgers, Dalton
Le'Veon, Spiller, FJax, Ahmad Bradshaw, Devonta Freeman, Storm Johnson, MJD, Ray Rice, Sproles, Woodhead
Jordy, BMarsh, Kelvin Benjamin, Boldin, Amendola, Baldwin, Bowe, Martavias Bryant
Cook, Ebron, Gates
NO
