I like DT a lot. I think he is better than Diggs, and Keemun had a pretty good year throwing to Diggs last year.

I think DT will post a better year than Diggs. Could see DT going for 90 catches, 1,100 yards, and 8 TDs.

That’s really tilting.

Thankfully had another real draft tonight and made up for it. Posted in keeper. But yeah that first one, whew.

DT is a weird one for me this year. My gut feeling is donotwant, but there is too much evidence to the contrary. So I'm just picking him ~early 5th if available. Even if there are other WRs who my gut likes better.

Ok I'm not trying to call anybody out but there really isn't any reason to like kerryon Johnson this year.

1. He's listed as 2nd string behind Blount.

2. Theo Riddick is one of the better receiving backs in the league. He was probably the best at one point.

Unless there's and injury he's not getting many touches.

I think the issue is he gets taken at the 3/4 turn a lot. In the fifth round he’s obviously better value, but I’m still not sure I like him better than sanders late 5/early 6

plus as long as stafford is the QB there, no RB is getting enough touches to really be that relevant

Starting a Dynasty or Keeper League this year - never done one before. Looking for input on the best ways to set it up - how many players to keep, do the average of where you drafted the player and that years ADP to determine the draft pick that you lose, etc.

Any input is welcome! Thanks

TDoggizzle, I suspect everyone’s answer is going to be different as everyone’s taste in what makes a good keeper or dynasty league great differs. I run 3 keeper/dynasty and they are all so different and I like each one for different reasons.

10 team .5 ppr snake where you keep up to 3 for up to 2 years at the round before they were drafted. start 1qb/2rb/2wr/1te/2flex/1def
& 7bench. We keep undrafted players (aka players picked up off waivers) in the last round but if I do it all over again I’d say keep them in the 10th instead.

12 team .5 ppr with $300 auction budget where you keep up to 3 for 3 years at the higher of their draft price or faab price plus 15%-25% depending on how many years they have been kept . start 1qb/2rb/2wr/1te/1flex/1def
& 7bench. If I do it all over again I’d add a starting wr or flex spot.

12 team auction dynasty/keeper hybrid where our roster is 18 & we keep 11 for free so we draft 7 rookies or non-kept players each year after the 1st year. Non-playoff teams get extra money based off of regular season standings and conso tourney finish (most you can get is 20% above what the 6 playoff teams start the draft with). 1qb/2rb/3wr/1te/2flex/1def & 8 bench + IR

re Kerryon - Theo's clearly the bigger threat for carries/targets, but his numbers have never been super impressive - the Detroit RB1 throne can easily be usurped (and it's a more valuable offense than being the CLE RB1 - those CLE RBs are among the other guys within Kerryon's ADP range).

After seeing what Blount did last year with one of the league's best offenses, I'm thinking the risk of Blount vulturing TDs is overrated.

Fwiw Detroit drafted Kerryon ahead of Guice & Freeman (could simply be lol Detroit here), and they traded up to do so, so they clearly want to give him a shot.

Thread too low on Dalvin Cook.

Top guys went too cheap - save for Gurley at $70. People probably didn't factor in keeper inflation enough. I think DJ went $14 cheaper than Gurley cuz DJ was nominated first (and Kamara). Those guys might have been more expensive but I think people were holding off for Gurley.

I added David Johnson for $56, Julio for $51 then spent some on Luck $14 Dak $13, Cooks $16, M. Jones Jr $11, Watkins $6. T. Coleman for $4. Got guys like Duke Johnson and Godwin, Stills/Parker at the end for $1. Should be in a great spot w/ DJ+Gordon+Julio and a good 2QB situation.

Biggest advice for an auction would be spend on the first elite players that go for a reasonable price and AVOID the mid guy 'values' because you can get similar peers for 2x-3x the discount if you wait a little bit. Also dont bid on a player if you aren't okay getting stuck with him.

I was banking on this as part of my strategy. It wouldn't be the end of the world as it was a 6th rounder but if he hits I'm in great shape to win my league that I have him. Should contend regardless but this would be huge.

I really don't get the Dak love (ADP of Qb17?!?) this year. I know he put up some numbers last year, but he is losing 2 of his top 3 pass catchers.

He is getting a rookie receiver that may better than anybody he had last year and he put up really strong numbers when Zeke was playing. Plus the ability to run can hide a lot of flaws.

For some ADP sources I think a lot of the QBs after ~QB14 are just donks who feel the need to draft a 2nd QB in a typical non-deep 1QB league.

For QBs after that ~QB14 threshold, there's likely to be more signal found in looking at ADP from 2QB leagues. On FFC's 2QB ADP, Dak is QB20, which seems about right - from their list I miiiiight prefer Trubisky (QB22) and Keenum (QB24) over Dak (as well as QBs1-19), so QB20-22 sounds about right to me.

He has 10 rushing TD ceiling..........

You can be worried about Dak because of Frederick and Zack Martin. But honestly I wouldn't worry about him losing Dez. Hurns and Gallup are going to be good enough. TE is another story, but even there I'm more worried in the run game.Witten didn't have much juice left on his routes. He was playing on pure smarts and size by the end.

Man what happened do Charles Johnson? Dude looked so athletic for a while there. Now can't even make the Jets.

Cho Jo looked alright in the 1st pre-season game. I sat 18 rows up in the corner of the endzone where he caught a TD pass (twice, since the 1st got called back for a penalty), unless that was some other Johnson.

My keeper league is giving me pause. We are a 10-team 0.5PPR league where we start QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, Flex, D, K, and 6 Bench spots.

Since we are a 10-team league, I brought up the idea of adding another Flex spot. It got shot down; fine whatever. A counter-proposal was raised to add another bench spot, which seems unnecessary. I'm not a fan, but this league is how I stay connected to several friends I had to away from. So, while I don't like what happened, I'm not dropping the league (at least not yet).

The draft is Tuesday night. How should I adjust to the extra bench spot?

Last year, I had a terrible time figuring out which players would have good weeks (so I finished in dead last; DFL) and have the 1st pick.

I'm keeping Evans and Thielen for my 10th and 11th round picks.

Beat available
RBs: Barkley, Cook, CMC, Mixon, Freeman, McCoy.
WRs: ODB, Allen, AJG, Adams, Diggs, Hilton.

barkley seems like a fairly easy pick

I'd consider ODB there, but since you already have 2 wrs I think it's prob better to go RB. Between Barkley and CMC for me, and I lean Barkley, but wouldn't blame anyone too much for going CMC at this point.

Not sure what you mean by adjusting to the extra bench spot...just use it for the best player available, don't think it changes much strategy-wise. I agree with you that adding a starting spot is way better than adding a bench spot though, shame the league disagrees

So I'm in a non ppr, weird keeper, with pick 6. Figure top 4 rbs and AB go. Who do we take at 6? I'm leaning Barkley.

One thing to note is that a lot of money in this league is distributed weekly based on weekly total points. So explosive potential is something to consider. The only keeper of note in that range is Kamara who's on my team.

I'd go Fournette. Barkley is a perfectly reasonable option as well though. As are ODB or Hopkins imo, who might be worth more in a league with weekly money to top scoring team? Don't have any data to support this, but seems like it should be the case.

And like someone noted in one of these threads the other day, if you wanna lock up one of those weeks, then go Julio

Why not compromise with an IR spot? It’s a hybrid extra bench spot that requires more strategy. And it’s a spot that not everyone will be using.

I’d go CMC or ODB with your first pick. But I wouldn’t blame you for going Barkley.
