    I think Miller in the 3rd may be a little bit of a Homer move, but your RB's look fine. I'm not sure why you took a Kicker in the 10th round, that seems pretty high. But I think Samaje was a decent pick until they got AP. As for your other last 8 picks, there all a little questionable to me. To me you have very little depth which means you need to scout the wire for some high upside players.

    WR available.PNG

    Here are the WRs on waiver. Looks like Cole is there. Although not sure how much I want to put into Bortles.

    Uh didn't you draft Moncrief? o_O

    Cole will outperform him. That's a lock.

    Sounds good, I can replace Moncrief with Cole. Anyone you see up there to replace Amendola with?

    Ryan Grant should start for IND and there should be opportunities for targets that TY doesn't get now that Moncrief and Aikens are no longer there.

    Get one of those rookies or 2nd year guys that were highly drafted but didn't play much last season. Callaway, Mike Williams, Gallup, John Ross, Taywan Taylor, DJ Moore, etc.

    True but Luck is the type that looks to involve his safety blanket TE like Doyle as a #2 target.

    I would rank the fantasy potential as so, based on Luck's target preference:

    1. Hilton
    2. Doyle
    3. Mack/Michael/Turbin etc.
    4. Everyone else

    I'll be stunned if Ryan Grant is ever fantasy relevant.

    I think Luck will probably be looking for Doyle and Ebron as his 2/3 options.

    Ebron could end up being option 3 or he could just be another Dwayne Allen.

    All potential/hype no substance. He's a good flier to take if you've got an oft injured TE like Gronk or even worse Reed. Yikes.

    I need some clutchfans' expertise, please.

    I've been asked to coordinate our company's fantasy football league. I play fantasy baseball heavily, but not really fantasy football.

    I'm using yahoo, since I have the app for baseball, haha. But could you guys please tell me a standard format, positions wise and category wise? There will be 12 of us.

    I also want it to be a PPR league. That's the extent of my knowledge.

    Please, and thank you!

    I've been running a yahoo PPR league for a decade. AMA.

    You should be able to just use default scoring settings. I believe yahoo's default is now .5 PPR, which means only half a point for a reception. So if you want to do traditional PPR you would just need to adjust the scoring settings for receptions from .5 to 1.

    Standard Roster should look something like this:
    QB
    WR
    WR
    RB
    RB
    FLEX (meaning WR or RB or TE)
    TE
    K
    DEF

    Sometimes a 3rd WR roster slot is used in place of the FLEX. In my experience most people like the Flex.

    Roster Dez Bryant. He is 29 years old (younger than the 1st receiver most likely being drafted this season) and was WR 25 last year. If he ends up on the Patriots or Packers he could pretty good. If not drop him. Otherwise he is worth holding for a few weeks to see where he ends up at.

    Alright, i subbed him for Amendola. I grabbed Mike Wallace for Moncrief. I might grab Keelan Cole for Sterling Shepherd. I dunno. I'm a mess at WR. Thats what I get for drinking and drafting. Hopefully all my RBs and QBs work out and I can get some trades.

    What's your opinion on Saquon Barkley? I am picking 7th in my work league and the Internet wants me to take him. Rookie with injury issues already in preseason? Can't see it in the first round.

    Keep Shephard, benefits from positive CB matchups.

    For me it depends on how many people are in the league, and who you would potentially be pairing him with. I'm picking 9th in a 10 team keeper league. And if he somehow makes it to me, I'll definitely pick him.

    Looks really good to me up and down the roster. You will crush it. You may want to consider a second TE, just in case Reed (or perhaps, when) Reed gets hurt. But guessing there will be enough decent replacements (Davis, Watson, ASJ, Clay, Howard, Seals-Jones) on the wire to avoid using up a second spot on a TE.

    DJ slipped to 5? Wow. Only other question... did the other teams in your league know it was a fantasy football draft?
