if the draft is being paused because this was just noticed, i say just give the guy his player back. i dont get why everyone needs to be such a stickler, its the summer and people misread things, especially if youre transferring to a new site, etc. this is fantasy football, lets not take it too seriously

that said, if youre like, past the draft, then you cant do anything cause then youd have to like, redraft and all that nonsense.

but if it was caught and you can just move on, who cares.

My first pick in a keeper league (have Bell & Hunt as keepers) will give me the option of a ton of WRs, where I'm looking for someone who presents the best 2 year value (this & next season).

0.5 PPR
Fitzgerald
Diggs
hilton
Thielen
Hill
Baldwin
Thomas

Any ideas? Could also go for someone like Freeman or Collins at flex.

I assumed the draft was over and he didn’t notice . Obviously if the guy was picked and it didn’t go too far just go back

You don't even consider Michael Thomas over those 2??

It was DT, MT was a keeper.

I'm leaning Diggs at the moment.

Looking at rankings seems I might be a little high on him but I think Hunt is RB 5-7 pretty much right there w/ Kamara.
12 teams. Thing is Hunt costs me a 2nd, and my 2nd is the 13th overall pick. I dunno, seems kind of dirty. In terms of what will be available for me at 12 + 13:

Gronk, Howard, Hilton, Saquon, AJ Green, Freeman and at least 3 other elite guys based on the fact that people are going to keep first rounders. I may have an outside shot at Julio type player there.

Projections for the top 2 throwing TD Qbs & the 2 lowest TD passing Qbs that are in the top 18. I also included INT as usually w/ 6 pt pass leagues you get -2 INT.

name projTDs/projINT/difference between 6/-2 league & a 4/-1 league

mariota 19/14/24
dak 20/9/31

rodgers 36/8/64
brady 33/9/57

So avg of the top 2 & bottom 2 is only a little over 2 pts.... ughhh.... so you are right.

I've got a decent dynasty team this year with at least 3 firsts and not sure what to do. 12 team standard league QB/2RB/2WR/TE/Flex

Watson/Cousins/Mahomes
Cook/Drake/Barber/Foreman/bunch of b listers with upside
Hopkins/Julio/Flash/AROB/Davis/Parker
Ertz


I may have a trade for Saquon of AROB/Jammaal Williams/2019 1st or Julio straight up, I'd obviously take either one. If I ended up with the 1.1, I still have 1.2/1.3/1.5

I hate my spot in the draft-I think Freeman/KJ offer the most immediate help, but most drafts have them going around 1.8ish. Doubt I'd get much of any value from someone wanting to draft up and I may end up with neither. How bad is it if I get the 1.1 to go Barkley/Penny/Royce and then take KJ?

For reference, the top team in the league is sitting on Zeke/Gurley/Kamara. He's very weak at QB and TE though so he's still vulnerable but that's an amazing trio to try to top

I'd be really hoping for something like the ARob/Williams/pick for Saquon deal to work out...seems much better for you than giving up Julio. I assume with that squad you'll have a late pick next year. I know trading qb's is tough, but it'd be great if you could trade one of those 3 guys for some rb help as well.

Royce has gotta be the pick at 1.2 if Saquon deal falls through though, esp with your squad. 1.3 is tough though. I'd be tempted to go Michel there personally.

Are the dolphins really going to give frank gore enough carries to hurt drake’s value at end of third/early fourth? I understand being respectful to an elder statesman in preseason, but you would assume Gase sees that drake’s his best offensive hope?

Derrick Henry is one of the best backs in the NFL imho. And I think he has more than adequate pass catching abilities. Am I the only one who thinks all the hype about his usage being cut into is way overblown? I've never seen a back with his talent not eventually get a huge workload (well, except himself of course). I think he's primed to blow up and potentially finish top 5 in RB's even with D. Lewis. (disclaimer: I don't own him in either league I'm in)

I haven't seen much tape, but top 5 seems a bit generous. Just from what I read, they expect alot from Dion Lewis who they signed for good money, and is the primary pass catcher ( I think)

Plus stuffing the box and making Mariota beat them potential....is that a thing here....?

I think that's built into his draft price. Not necessarily Frank Gore, but they also drafted an RB, Kallen Ballage. I don't know about who is cutting into the workload, but if he was the clear guy, he would prob get taken in the early-mid 3rd.

Yeah he's not a good RB. At least he hasn't shown it yet.

If anything I generally lean too far on the talent winning out side of things, and I was with you until this preseason. However in this case, their skill sets seem to be quite complimentary, and while performance in preseason rarely has much predictive value, usage is often pretty telling/important.





Now you can make the case that Lewis is quite likely to get injured given his history, and that could lead to Henry blowing up. But as long as Lewis is available I think he is pretty likely to poach a decent amount of Henry's value.

You take two basically garbage time 70 yard runs he got last year away and he's sitting at 3.4 yards per carry........

only two guys needed QB help, and I traded goff for a 2019 1st for him. The other is the only guy I'm scared of going into this year, so I don't want to hand him the one piece he desperately needs.

I begrudgingly think you're right on Royce. I'll probably debate Michel/Penny/KJ until I make a selection.
