So the #7 overall in a ppr snake is now squarely Bijan vs Diggs vs Chubb. I really HATE that choice lol

think my logic is gonna be take Bijan, and Kupp is often there in the 3rd. Draft to win it all.


Hey is Kittle being slept on just a little these days? Such a good QB for him.

I’d still take Diggs over Bijan, but I can’t fault you for going Bijan.

Kittle is already injured and may not even play week 1. He has something like a 15% target share when the entire offensive skill group is healthy. He showed some decline last year and lived off of TDs. He certainly has the upside, but I’ll pass on the projected week to week inconsistency as his cost.

I do prefer Lamar, but I think the main goal is simply to get one of

Pat
Hurts
Josh
Lamar
Fields
Burrow
Herbert

And then maybe Trevor belongs in that group, but I’m not sure yet. He’s kind of in between.

Next group of Deshaun, Jones, Cousins, AR, maybe Tua/Cousins all have upside, but I’m not sure if any of them really have top 5 upside, especially with how strong the top 7-8 are.

They’re definitely a little spicy. I decided to punt RB in this league since only 104 players, plus IR, are even rostered. There are always available RBs on the wire. But as the season goes on, the WRs get more and more JAG, so I wanted to lock them up. And I was still able to snag Breece, who I think will way outperform the pick 45 I paid.

Andrews over Jacobs could burn me the most.

I don’t think Lamar is very far behind Hurts/Allen, which is why I was fine passing on those 2, but I made sure I got Lamar haha. He was my next pick after Amari. Hurts and Allen went between those picks.

yes 6pt tds. I was thinking 5000 40-45 as a ceiling and last year as a floor

Yeah, in a 6pt league I deliberately targeted Herbert over Lamar and I'm a big believer in a Lamar bounce back this year but not sure he's got 45+ total TD's in him but brain fog wouldn't let me figure out the difference between the extra passing yards vs the rushing yards.
Think it's pretty close

The discussion of the top 4 QB's is interesting. Allen has @CHI @CIN in those winter like months for his fantasy playoffs. He's home week 15 to MIA. So all potential snow games. In a tie break situationi really like Hurts in domes most of that time. Lamar also does the fantasy playoffs in domes. I might rank Mahomes > Hurts > Allen > Lamar knowing I'm happy to get Lamar a round later.

I'm with you on Allen being third. I have Hurts ahead of Pat. I also have Lamar 4th but not far behind, so the round discount definitely helps.

Agreed with this. I think Hurts is #1 because of the rushing and because he didn't pass much in the 4th qtr last year, which should change this year. If Josh is going to rush less this year, then I wouldn't be so in on taking him. Ya and I think Lamar's value is right up there with these guys. I've noticed in best ball guys really attack Hurts/Mahomes in the mid 2nd round, let Allen slip a bit and then Lamar is available a bit later, which is why he's probably the most owned QB for me.

I think the Herbert/Fields discount (5th - mid 5th) is also nothing to sneeze at.

If you told me Fields finished ahead of Lamar, I'd believe it.

If you told me Herbert finished top 5, I'd believe that too.


Not many teams did so much as much to improve their offences in these groupings as the Bears/Chargers. Ravens are up there also in retooling weapons.

Got my Dynasty draft tonight. 4 players must be kept each year but only 1 player may be kept that was drafted in rounds 1-4. Players can only be kept for 3 years and then must go back in the pool. 1PPR QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,FLEX,K,DST 6PT TD. 12 man.

Keepers
4. DK Metcalf
8. Hockenson
15. Danny Dimes
16. Eagles

I have the 1st overall pick. Yep. I kept a defense. Trust me, none of my other players were worth keeping at their ADP. Hence, why I have the 1st pick.

Available players
QB Hurts, Allen, Herbert then drops to Cousins tier
RB Bijan, Henry then drops to Mixon, Aaron Jones tier
WR Tyreek, D Adam's, Diggs, CeeDee then drops to Ridley, T Higgins, Deebo tier
TE Kelce. The rest don't matter since already have Hockenson

1st thought was take Bijan and hope he's not Najee
2nd was WR. I like CeeDee, Tyreek, Diggs kinda equally
3rd was stacks are hard to come by in this league due to keepers. So take Diggs and hope Allen is still there at the 2-3 turn and take him and the best available RB.
4th Just take Kelce and not care that this is a dynasty draft and he may be crap in 3 years.
5th Smoke a fat bowl and not care whatever I do will probably end up being wrong.

???

In 12 man PPR you snap Bijan over Kelce?

For me the known quantity in Kelce is still ahead there

Uh oh, the known quantity in Kelce might not be so known anymore. Hyperextended knee in practice and now he's uncertain for Thursday. That does not sound good.

You asked Bijan v Diggs v Chubb. I'm taking Kelce over all of those but that's not what you asked

This feels like the sort of thing where he is active but limited to high leverage situations, if he only ends up getting 2/10 but they're both touchdowns then I think owners can live with it

34 years old with knee injuries is where it gets spicy though. He was almost better off hurting almost any other part. Guess we're gonna see.

Fair enough if you were asking something new, it read like the same question given you replied to my response. I'm not sure I would do now, but I wouldn't be bumping him down that much - this does seem like the sort of thing he may be able to play through

I think Kelce owners should really hope he DOESN'T play through. Let him sit 4 weeks.

It's possible, but with the game being on Thursday, I wouldn't be surprised to see him sit. I expect them to be cautious in this spot. We don't know the degree of hyperextension, but it generally doesn't indicate he will be able to play a game 2 days later.

Load up on as much 3rd round Mahomes as you can in that case

Just started a puppy draft Chase, Kupp, Mahomes from the 1.04. The best ball streets are spicy!
