Yeah that's cool bro. That's why this game is so fun. I got Tyreek WR1 and #5 overall.

Tyreek triple covered on the 69 yard TD. Mahomes doing exactly what i thought. Throws pick then says **** it I'm going deep! These games scripts scream Tyreek save us. Tyreek could score 23+ points a game this year.

I expect Gurley, Bell, Johnson, and Zeke will be gone. I have Gordon ahead of Kamara, Saquon, Fournette, Hunt, and Cook.

San Diego got a Pouncey brother at C, they get their first round Guard pick back, and he was the number 5 PPR back last year.

I just think SD's offense could be really good this year, and I don't think it's likely he'll be there for me in the 2nd.

Not a fan of it. Though I am a long time Gordon hater, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt.

Gordon may have a higher floor than guys like Kamara/Saquon/Hunt (though I'm personally not entirely convinced he does), but his ceiling is way lower imo. All of those guys have a legit path to being the #1 scoring RB this year, whereas Gordon does not, largely on account of him sucking. His O-line is indeed the best it's ever been and he is just about as assured of volume as anyone, so he is def still a late first/early second round pick, but I think you gotta shoot a little higher when picking there.

Plus rooting for Melvin Gordon would go against everything I stand for

Don't see a draft thread yet so here it is. Ended up having the 4th to last option and took the 10 spot. QB/2RB/3WR/TE/FLEX/D/K PPR, 6pt/TD Pass. Had to draft K/D.

Not a great spot to draft from but outside of the Engram pick there isn't much I like. You got a lot of guys I think are overrated and have huge question marks, plus not a lot of upside late.

Things that stand out the most to me: Mckinnon over Mixon, Crabtree in round 5 (plus 2 Raven WR's), Edleman and Crowell over guys like Manny Sanders and Burkhead (or if you're worried about him, one of the other NE backs, or Duke Johnson) respectively, spewing on a handcuff and thereby missing out on potential big value in Lockett.

But hey, at least you didn't pick a defense that doesn't exist like team 12 Good luck!

12 team keeper league and most of the top picks are being kept. I have the 4th pick and have L Bell and Keenan as 2 of my keepers. The top players available are Barkley, Fournette , Cook, Julio, Shady, AJ, Gronk , Mcaffery, and Diggs. I’m pretty sure Barkley and Fournette go 1-2, I’m not sure what the 3 pick does. How do you rank the other players left?

I disagree with Wheat. I love Hop and Allen, and I think landing McKinnon and McCoy in 3-4 is a dream scenario when starting WR-WR. I prefer McKinnon over Mixon in PPR. The rest looks decent.

I don't like this draft but I love Fournette this year. It looks like you could have had Fournette/Tyreek/Mixon which is better than Hopkins/Allen/McKinnon imo.

The problem with going WR/WR in the first two rounds is there is so many great options late.

Mckinnon vs Mixon was a tossup for me but FBG prefers Mckinnon so I went with him. Burkhead injury definitely scared me from taking him. Was going to take James White if he fell to me, but probably just going to avoid NE RB situation in all my drafts.

This is pretty much what I thought as well. I do agree with Wheat that some of my later picks could have been better.

I like Hill (not as much as you), but was never going to take him early in the 2nd. Was debating Fournette, but thought Hopkins had too much value in PPR. Didn't like any of my RB options in round 2 so just went bpa.


Appreciate the comments guys. Thanks.

Fournette over Hopkins in PPR is bad, and people who do it should feel bad. But particularly with Watson back.

I have Hopkins #9 and Fournette #7 and most consensus rankings in PPR have Hopkins at #7 and Fournette at #11. It's certainly not crazy to take Fournette in front of Hopkins.

I am projecting a nice bump in usage on 3rd downs for Fournette. He showed he's more than capable with that nice catch rate. I'm not a Watson believer yet so I'm not projecting a bump in FF scoring for Hopkins with him.

In my rankings Hopkins was ranked higher than Fournette 3 weeks ago fwiw. This is a fluid situation though and it's close. Give me the stud back and I'll grab a high end WR2 low end WR1 after the 6th round.

The more I look at these WR the more I want to move all of them down a spot or two.......there is just so many good options late.

What WR 1/2 do you have in this spot?

I have the start of an all waterwolves team with bell/gronk/tyreke as keepers. maybe ill draft engram for the hell of it and start him at flex. I need a 4th keeper to go with the three above. non ppr, start 2rb, 2wr, flex.

bell
gronk
tyreke

derrick henry
Kenyan drake
lamar miller

I have several. I'll make a list in a couple weeks. I have 3 I love this year. One I already mentioned Randall Cobb. If you look at his numbers the last 8-10 games where he and Rodgers were healthy he was putting up 15 ppg in PPR. Now Jordy is gone. Lots of redzone targets up for grabs.

Keepers then stay at 5 moving forward.

QB/2RB/3WR/TE/Flex

I traded my first round pick to get Zeke (lol) so my current top 3 draft picks are 13th 14th 31st

Keeping:

Gronk
Zeke
Keenan

Keep 1 of these two:

McKinnon or Tyreek (leaning McKinnon because Tyreek not that great)
This decision got a lot easier.

What about Jimmy Graham then?

I own Jimmy Graham in our dynasty league and I'd love to report i see a little of the old Jimmy. I don't. He's a lock for 9 TDs......maybe 10 and he has a 15 TD ceiling but he doesn't move like he used too. There's room for both Cobb and Jimmy. Lots of catches and yards for Cobb with a healthy dose of TD's and lots of TD's for Graham.
