Hilton, not close imo.



Per Schefter: “MRI on Jerick McKinnon’s knee was what 49ers hoped: per source, “good and just a muscle strain.””

Have a team in a league with 6 point passing TD, 0 point INT/FUM, PPR, and the following players on the roster:

D. Watson
L. Fournette
M. Thomas
T. Kelce
D. Thomas
S. Diggs
J. Ajayi

Right now, I am planning to keep the top four. Is this correct?

ETA: You don't have to start a TE in this league, but I'm not sure it matters much as Kelce is basically a WR.

I'd keep Diggs over Kelce even if a TE was required, so I'd def keep Diggs in this format.

I will warn that my love for Diggs approaches Wolves level Tyreek love so take this for what it's worth.

I guess keeping Watson is alright in this format, esp if you can keep guys for a bunch of years.

I'd keep Diggs, MThomas, Fournette, and Kelce. Throw Watson back and let someone else be disappointed.

A question for Best Ball leagues. Is it crazy to go Gronk-Kelce at the 2:12, 3:1 turn after going RB to start?

If you do that then I would do no more TE for the rest of the draft, wait on QBs and get like 3 near the end and just load up on RB and WR until around round 11/12

I'm not against it. I have plenty of late-2nd Gronk shares, but in the early-mid 3rd there are almost always some guys that I like more than Kelce (Diggs/Thielen, Baldwin before his injury, Tyreek if you're drinking the kool-aid).

For sure waiting on QBs and would be set at TE.

In reality I went Gronk-Howard after starting Gurley, but I am very happy with the mid-late round WRs available and most of the top tier RBs are gone by 3:1 too. I'm just not sure if there's advantage there or not by having elite TE production locked up relative to the rest of the league. With Best Ball, in some ways you can compensate via 2nd and 3rd tier WRs in bulk, where it's harder to do so at other positions like TE.


I'd appreciate other thoughts as I have another best ball starting soon and I am drafting from the 1 spot again. If Gronk falls, I'll definitely take him again, but as always it depends on the other spots.

$300 draft budget for 1/2 PPR 2rb, 2wr, 1 flex 12 teamer
keep 3 of

dion lewis $8
ingram $35
josh gordon $9
marquise goodwin $8
jordy nelson $13
delaine walker $23

leans are highlighted. Is this right?

Ajayi (can be kept for $15 then $19 the following year) owner has nobody else that is keepable. Would you offer walker + ingram(can be kept for $35, then $42 & then for $53) for him?

First draft of the year, 12 team full PPR. 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 Flex.

I had the 7th pick, definitely wasn't planning this strategy, but it just kinda worked out this way.

Ended up with DeAndre Hopkins(7th pick), Julio Jones(17th), and Mike Evans(31st) with my first 3 picks. Was planning on taking Dalvin Cook with 17, but he went one pick before me and I couldn't pass on Julio there.

As a result, I ended up pounding RB's (Henry, Ingram, Hyde, Montgomery, White, Carson, Aaron Jones).

Obviously my RB's aren't the strongest group ever, but are we comfortable with what is basically 0RB here?

I took DeShaun Watson in the 5th round as well.

I don't play keeper leagues like this but I'm keeping the the exact opposite. I heard Jordy has been Carr's favorite in camp. Goodwin was on a 99/1200 pace the last 5 games. Walker's price seems a little high bit dion lewis just seems so meh as a keeper.

Lewis and Ingram are obv at those prices imo. $8 for a decent ppr back with ceiling is a good price. I’d expect him to go higher at auction. In Ingram you should end up with a top 10ish back for the last 12 games. $300 auction is ballpark him as going for 50-60. Maybe more with relatively small rosters for that budget.

Gordon is prolly next as the high upside play but risk you get 0 games out of him. Goodwin didn’t have garcon to compete with end of last year but has some potential obv. I don’t see the upside in Jordy. I called him a top 5 wr for years but he may be too injury prone/lost too much speed at this point. Walker at that price should be considered too but no TE spot which from my experience means he’ll go under valued anyway

I hate the idea of going 0RB, but if those 3 are available in those spots I take them too. However, if I started w/ 3 WRs I wouldn't take a QB outside of Godgers before the 8th round.

+1, the first 3 picks are good, but i hate every subsequent pick. There are much better RB candidates to pound in PPR, and Watson in the 5th is terrible spew.

Also - much better for folks to evaluate these if given the full draft board.

Have to grab Engram/Cohen if you're going 3 WR imo. I like Hyde this year too.

Yea Tarik could put up as many points as Howard in PPR this year


Not sure I want Hyde or any RB on that Browns offense though.

Yeah, luckily this is my first draft of the year, and it's not one of my more important ones, so I like to use it to mess around a little and do things I wouldn't normally do. I agree that Watson was high, but if he does 80% of what he was projected to do last year, that Watson/Hopkins combo could be deadly imo.

Chubb looked bad this weekend. Which gives a little pop to Hyde. Hyde is pretty underrated and should start the first 3-4 weeks. If he does well he might keep that job all year. He's a 3 down back even though they probably won't use him like that. I'm not convinced he's going to go off but at the right price I don't mind buying a ticket to see how that backfield shakes out.

Even in PPR, I'm still pretty high on Derrick Henry, I think he has the best chance for double digit rushing TD's outside of the top 4 RB's. I think Ingram still has a pretty solid role when he gets back from suspension (the Saints could run him into the ground if they wanted to, hes gone after this season anyway imo, and he catches his fair share of passes, too). I'm hoping guys like Carson and Hyde can bridge that gap until he gets back. But yeah, this could easily blow up in my face lol.

As for the draft board, I do usually get a clickydraft or something, but this was a live draft, and our commissioner is notorious for waiting forever to get the teams in.

Where are we on Peyton Barber? On fantasypros he's ranked 156 (RB50) in 1/2 PPR.

It seems like that is assuming Ronald Jones will get first crack at RB duties week one, right?

with duke johnson there wont be a 3 down CLE back. people sleep on DJ, he was the 12th ranked RB in PPR last year

Yeah those rankings must not be updated or something currently. He doesn’t have a super high ceiling since they are almost certainly wanna get Jones in there some regardless, but he’s gotta be in the top 35 or so RBs given he is pretty much the unquestioned starter at this point.

Didn’t Duke play a lot of slot WR last year though? That coulda just been a rumor and I’m remembering wrong, but he doesn’t seem to automatically cancel out the possibility of Hyde playing some 3rd downs.

Hyde is so cheap (and I think better than he generally gets credit for being) that I don’t mind picking him up at all.

Is Gurley #1 in your view? Or just not in the top 3 grouping?

That’s entirely possible, I haven’t watched a browns game in years. But even still, if Hyde lines up in the backfield on 3rd down and DJ is in the slot, they’re gonna sooner check down to DJ then Hyde

But yeah I do agree Hyde being a fine later rd guy
