This is my TE exposure across 14 Best Balls. Not sure how I ended up with so much Fant, but targets should be there.

I thought I had more Kelce and now I don't know if I need to be concerned that I only have one with him.

Fant is a guy I don't know how to scout actually. What sort of improvement do we expect on his 122 pts last season? I guess he's in that same sort of 25 year old break out age. He's definitely 5th on his team for targets too I'd think. I think he's always been there when I liked other positions more.

Everett is the sneak this year in a Kellen Moore offence. Also will be 5th in targets I guess.

Think I take Juwan Johnson over both.

Waller as the TE4 I don't know what to make of. 31 in a week, body didn't do well last year. I think I'm always waiting once the top 3 go, but I could see being wrong there sometimes. If he's healthy he's receiving option 1 or 2. Hard to argue against that. His division is gonna be tough on TE I'd think.

I think some of Waller’s injuries were exaggerated because he was just done with the Raiders org. At least that’s my read. And it’s pretty easy to believe with how things ended with Carr last year.

I’m pretty bullish on his fresh start in NY with coaches that I think are good.

While he’s 31, he has only played 75 career games. I think he’s going to be motivated.

Best ball is very addicting haha. This is the first year I’ve gotten into it, and I’m sorry I waited this long.

I think it’s decent, depending on how the rest of the draft went. Probably take Andrews over Mixon, but I won’t fault you on Mixon. Not sure I take Jones 3 picks after Tua, but as long as you stuck with those two as your QBs, it’s fine.

I also take all 3 guys listed for round 10 ahead of McKinnon.

Probably rank these

Juwan
LaPorta
Everett
Henry
Musgrave
Ferguson
Chig
Kmet

Kmet probably the only one I wouldn’t actually want. Tough to drop anyone on your team, but I guess Burks would be my choice if I had to choose. I might just roll Njoku and see what happens.

Just finished my last draft from the 1.04. 8 team league starting QB/2RB/3WR/TE/Flex and then 5 bench. I’m not in love with it, but I don’t hate it either.

Lamar
Breece, Mattison, Monty, Swift, Gibson, BRob
Reek, Garrett, Amari, Christian, Addison
Andrews

Reek over Kelce
Garrett over ARSB, Bijan, Pollard
Andrews over Jacobs
Amari over Hurts, Allen, Mondre, but I was targeting Lamar
Monty over Conner. I can’t stop drafting Monty.
I’m not really into Swift, but I figured this was the spot to take an upside shot.
Addison over JSN
Gibson over Charb
Decided to close out with BRob and see how that backfield goes in week 1. Can dump one if it looks shaky.

A lot on wire. Mostert, Allgeier, JSN, Penny/Gainwell, Warren, Sutton, Bateman, etc.

Kupp went 3.07. Then the same team took JT 8.02.

Lamar will be QB1 this year is my call. Andrews stack will pay huge dividends. And Breece will run away with it over Cook second half of season.

I don't think JSN should be on waivers, even in an 8 team league.

Agreed. But not sure who I should drop. Guess I could pick one of Gibson or BRob. JSN was actually drafted, but then dropped after the draft for Toney. So he’ll clear waivers on Thursday.

Also added Kyler to my IR. Apparently Yahoo lets you add directly to your IR from the wire. I had no idea until I watched someone else do it with Wilson lol.

Definitely one of the Washington RB. They may look good against lol Arizona week 1, but their OL is pretty bad and the schedule is not great, including @NYJ, SF in week 16 and 17. They've got 6 games against 3 very good defenses in the East and have Denver in week 2.

Think I’ll keep BRob and dump Gibson, since BRob projects for more overall touches. And they were actually throwing the ball to him in the preseason.

Crazy situation on FFPC.

I know he ran hot but I still think he's a big part of the passing game this year.

Ya I'd agree that Juwan is the most appealing. I didn't even know much about him until someone mentioned him on a YouTube show a few days ago then I went crazy grabbing him. I looked at his game log last year, and he had some sweet spike games and 7 TDs, which makes him great for best ball!

If I want to stash him, I'd have to drop Jalen Warren because I have to drop Burks for a kicker coming up. I'll probably just depend on my #2 waiver spot to snag him if he starts to look promising. I'll have a look at how the #1 waiver teams TE situation looks though.

Kind of silly. Was anybody drafting Taysom for his traditional TE play? Only reason anybody drafts him is because of his wildcat role.

It’s just tough for me to get on board with, especially at a 10th round price, but I could certainly be wrong. I think their WR room is quite a bit stronger this year than last, even if it’s still uncertain. They kept 7 WRs on the 53 man. Toney’s gadget role could eat into what McKinnon offers.

I think all players outside of Mahomes/Kelce are going to be irritatingly inconsistent. But at least in best ball, you don’t have to figure out when the good games are coming.

Njoku is probably the top of the range where you want to start thinking about a 2nd TE to play matchups. But it would suck to have to lose Warren and Burks.

I wouldn’t burn a waiver spot on Juwan, though. Just wait and pick him up, because he seems likely to clear if he wasn’t drafted.

Basically. If he had been designated as a QB since May, he’d pretty much be 0% owned. Instead, he’s been drafted in every single draft, assuming TE eligibility.

Ya for sure. We just drafted last night so he should be available right after waivers clear. I was just considering waivers for after week 1 if he were to have a big game and then catch peoples attention in the league. Dropping Warren would suck, be I don't think he'd out perform my top 4 RBs unless he took over as the lead back in Pittsburgh.

Got ya. Warren has been steamed from camp reports, but it could still just be the Najee show. However, Najee’s metrics mostly suck and year 3 is typically make or break for first round RBs. But Tomlin is the wildcard, because he’s live to keep riding Najee even if Warren looks like the better play.

Even if it looks like Warren is far behind your top 5 today, I still try to have as many upside RBs as possible between byes and injuries.

Just have to decide how much you value locking another upside TE option beside Njoku.

If you’re worried about potentially having to use the #2 waiver claim to grab a 2nd TE, I’d rather just make the gamble before the season starts and get Juwan for free.

I was just listening to an Adam Levitan podcast on Establish the Run and he was talking about a porn scene where the premise was a best ball drafter was having sex while drafting a team lol! He was using a platform called Underfrog and he was using all the jargon of a knowlegable grinder lol. The pod was good for a laugh when I was out grabbing food this evening.

Drafting>>sex

Agree with this, feel like mckinnon role was just the way last season played out...I expect a lot more use of wrs (spreading the ball though so they cant be started)

I wanted so badly to believe this, but in the moment I ended up taking herbert over Lamar. Might sink me, but Im in on Herbert reverting back to his rookie year form

edit: Sorry, was responding to poster who said Lamar would be qb1

All bolded strike me as spicy takes I'd be on the other side of. I get the 3WRness of it all, but still seems very bpa to me

If passing TD=6pts I think it's close. Herbert could go for 4,500 45 (ceiling). If 4pt passing TD then I probably lean Lamar.
