I love it
Would be interested who you took Hopkins over

The complete round drafted in order after Hopkins:

Justin Herbert
Miles Sanders
Pacheco
Fields
Conner
Watson
Cook
Javonte Williams
Monty

The only real funny business I tried was having Keenan over Mixon, but Keenan's ADP landed exactly on my next pick so I tried to wait on him, alas he was sniped four picks before I would have got him.

Haha, not exactly a list of superstars. Pretty sharp draft you're in. Don't think there is any money left in fantasy, everyone is solid.

What’s the earliest we’re taking Kupp in redraft this weekend?

Think if I get stuck with 1.07-1.09 (and assuming Kelce / Ekeler are gone) I’m taking Diggs/ARSB/Wilson/Lamb ahead of Kupp.

Probably don’t see Kupp dropping further than that in home leagues, but I guess we’ll see.

think i take waddle before him, but take him over smith/higgins

I guess I’d consider drafting all of the guys below ahead of him, but it’s really tough. I think there is a bit of an overreaction going on, especially given Kupp’s ceiling.

I acknowledge hammys are concerning, especially at his age and the fact this is a recurrence. But we are still 9 days away from his first game. Even if he misses 3 weeks, with no bye weeks and everyone on your team ideally being healthy to start the season, you can withstand his absence. Especially in leagues with smaller starting lineups. I have a 10 team league starting QB/2RB/2WR/TE/Flex/D/K with the 4 pick, and I’d smash Kupp at 2.07 if he’s there.

JJ
Chase
Reek
Diggs
Adams
Wilson
ARSB
AJB
CD

CMC
Ekeler
Chubb
Bijan
Pollard
Saquon
Jacobs
Henry

Kelce

So that’s 19th overall, which I think should be the absolute line, but otc, I probably still take him over some of the guys listed above.

I would still take him ahead of all of the elite QBs.

Just finished a draft in a superflex redraft league. Traded up to get a 2nd first round pick to ensure 2 stud qbs. Just curious what everyone thinks here. Thanks for any input!

Probably moving him down to the Diglett/Lamb/AJB tier

Decided to go against the grain and make a really gross lineup where I went with 5 RBs before selecting my first WR.



Started 1.10

QB - Lamar, Tua

RB - Chubb, Jacobs, Walker III, Montgomery, Akers, Hull, Patterson

WR - Sutton, Boyd, Thielen, Devante Parker, Hodgins, Justyn Ross, Palmer, Hollins, Wilson Jr.

TE - Freiermuth, Irv Smith

I hope you have a lot of flex spots

I'm usually not overly concerned with bye weeks but you are in a pickle week 5, especially if you have any injuries

Yeah that will be a bench week for sure. Hoping my opponent has similar issues or it'll just be an automatic L and i do well the other weeks.

12 team 1/2 ppr

J. Burrow

N. Chubb
A. Kamara
D. Cook
R. Mostert
E. Mitchell
D. Jackson

S. Diggs
D. Smith
M. Brown
S. Moore
A. Thielen
E. Moore

D. Waller

B. McManus

JAX


Thoughts?

Just wanted to get your guys opinion on targeting a QB in best ball from the #2 draft spot. I generally target one of those top 4 QBs if they are in the right spot for me. But given that I can draft Chase from the #2 is it better to target Burrow later on in the draft? Or am I just better off taking Hurts/Mahomes and forgoing the stack and trying for a different one later?

I do a mix of everything.

Some of the top three elites in round 3. I don’t reach up for Lamar, though. Getting him on my back half of the first teams.

Some Burrow in 4/5. Some Fields/DJM or M Williams/Herbert stacks at the 4/5, if it falls.

Sometimes you can take Ridley at the 2/3 and get Lawrence at the 6/7.

Can also target AR/Danny Dimes types at the 8/9.

I think it’s a decent squad from 12 team. I don’t see any big value combos, but your depth players all have a chance to outperform ADP, imo. Will be able to wait out Kamara’s suspension with Mostert/Jackson.

Ok cool thanks man. With these best ball drafts I like mixing too because I don't want to be overweight on any particular player unless I totally believe in him.

For that draft I ended up doing Chase/Mixon/Burrow. This is a 10 man. So hopefully Bengals can get into some big shootout games. The nice thing about trying a stack like that is that I do have a little fall back plan with Herbert/Lawrence or others later.

With doing more drafts, I have a different perspective now, in that I won't reach for players (as much) anymore, compared to just being a home league drafter. After awhile, you get used to not targeting your favorite guys and just go for the right play.

Thanks. "Decent" is about how I felt about it too.

The big change for me was taking TE and QB early. I nearly never do that. Especially QB.

Sup guys. Been following the ff threads since last year.

Not happy with my draft at all. It could have been much better but the other players were incredibly unpredictable. Had the 2nd pick.

Thoughts?

I think you smashed. What’re you unhappy about?

The league is soft, it could have been even better. Just annoyed with mistakes.

Hard to diagnose mistakes if you just post your roster and not the actual order you picked the players in with alternatives you were considering at each pick

I dunno man Kupp seems like a huge gamble right now. Me personally...would not be a big fan of seeing my WR1 from Southern California travelling to Minnesota to see a 'noted body specialist' to 'understand his injury' less than 1 week before the season starts. He probably ends up missing at least a few games but without explosiveness are you even drafting the same guy?

I recently did a 10 man best ball draft from the #4 slot. I have generally gone into drafts with an open mind, but ideally having a top four QB, with Hurts being the priority, and believing in Josh the least of the top three, then settling for Burrow, Herbert and then Lawrence. After that I’d just put together three mid/late round QBs like DJones/Goff/Purdy/Pickett.

A question I had was my pick at 2.7 where it was very close for me to take Hurts depending on what players were left for me. Here I went with ASRB, but if he wasn’t there, I would have gone Hurts. Hurts/Mahomes have usually been going around 2.8 to 3.5. Just curious about some feedback in this spot as to what the best play would be? Is ARSB worth that pick or is Hurts the right pick based on his advantage over remaining QBs? Settings are 1QB/3WR/2RB/1FLEX, 1/2 PPR for reference.


Also here is the full draft board. If anyone could give some feedback on my picks and selections that would be appreciated. I was making some worse picks a few days ago by grabbing guys a bit too early.

Also as far as who I am getting in these best ball drafts, I have found that I have been passing on some big names. I won’t get into every single one, but here are a few. Just curious about your takes or if you have any thought on these points and concerns.

Bijon - Keep taking Chubb and Pollard over him. I guess the biggest question going in would be his usage and how much Allgeir will or won't be used.
Saquon - he had high usage last year and I've heard historically players following that much usage have a decline the next year.

Davante - the guy is a stud individually, but I guess the downgrade in QB is something to consider. ARSB, Lamb and GWilson are usually right there to I seem to take them.
Henry - I've just kept passing on him due to him getting older and high usage last year.
Jacobs - high usage argument again LY, and the QB downgrade.
Devonta Smith - I heard alot of his production came LY when Goedert was out.
Etienne - His goal line inefficency LY and the arrival of Tank Bigsby are points of concern regarding him getting decreased work.
Deebo - I've heard lots of talk Aiyuk could out perform him in the receiving game. He won't be rushing the ball with CMC there now.

Like ARSB over those QBs - as you mentioned there are plenty of ways to go at QB if you miss the top 3 but not many ways to make up ground if you get receivers that don't get targeted. I probably take Olave over Higgins thinking he still has tons of upside and TH we are probably seeing his best as long as Chase is still in town.
