    I can't do more than 3-4... Nothing makes me more upset than cheering for players to do well in one league but then playing against those players in another league the same week..

    I FUBAR'd my draft so hard this year, think it's going to take a miracle to reverse my misfortunes. Anyways, here goes. How do I go about this season? Standard scoring, 10 team.

    My original plan was to go RB/WR/RB but everyone reached for a RB in the first 3 rounds.

    QB: J.Goff
    RB1/2: A.Collins, D.Henry
    WR1/2/3: A.Brown, M.Evans, D.Adams
    TE1: J.Reed
    Flex: M.Goodwin
    K: C.Boswell
    DST: Rams
    BN: J.Ajayi, C.Carson, J.Williams, K.Cole, J.Edelman, T.Eifert

    The real **** up here is why you have 2 TEs that can't stay on the field. My god.

    I'm hoping one does stay on the field throughout the season. Now that I think about it... yeah. No. :(

    Well at least it gives you the possibility of higher scoring.

    You had to know going into this year that RBs would be at a premium again after WRs regressed hard last season after years of steady growth.

    I was aware of that. At draft pick #6, I was chose AB over the RBs left (Fournette, Gordon, and Barkley). I was anticipating Fournette and Hunt being there after the turn but that never panned out.

    In the 2nd, Freeman and Cook were the only two RBs available so I just went another WR. Long story short, picking at 6 blowZ.

    I can't even tell. The main league I do every year bumped up to 14 teams. So I have been doing mainly those mocks. That looks pretty damn good for a 14 teamer though. Haaa

    12 team 1PPR I had the #2 pick

    Bell,
    M.Thomas
    A.J.Green
    Ajayi
    JuJu Smith-Schuster
    Chris Hogan
    Kyle Rudolph
    Big Ben
    Rex Burkhead
    Tevin Coleman
    Cooper Kupp
    Jamison Crowder
    Marlon Mack
    Boswell
    Pats DST

    I usually stream DST so I pick them last - I felt I should have maybe gotten a better RB esp with Bell's contract issues. Thoughts?

    Wow... Thomas slipped all the way back to your second and then Green to your third? Very good team (if you survive Ben's road games). ;)

    The person who I think will be our league's taco picked Rashaad Penny before me in the 2nd round. Everyone was picking RBs pretty much after AB, Jones and Hopkins went off the board. I was shocked to be able to get him at 11 in the second round and at that point I knew I could get one of Allen, Adams or Green in the 3rd and I ended up with Green being the one not picked by the guy who had #1

    Solid. Very solid. Like the picks all around except maybe Rudolph, he's so TD dependent for a PPR league.

    12 team 1PPR League....I had 12th pick. Really wanted McCaffrey but he was taken 11 overall (wtf)


    Michael Thomas
    Julio Jones
    Amari Cooper
    Kenyan Drake
    Deshaun Watson
    Jimmy Graham
    Julian Edelman
    Tarik Cohen
    Ty Montgomery
    CJ Anderson
    Dj Moore
    Giovani Bernard
    Jaguars
    M Bryant


    Not a big fan of my team. I'm always RB RB in round 1 & 2 and this team just doesn't seem right to me.

    Basically another Zero-RB team. You'll just have to hope passing trends back up this season and everybody else's RBs get hurt.

    You'll probably start off poorly because of this.

    Hmm... Do you only plan to start one RB? This seems like Zero RB gone amuck. Which RBs were there when you picked Cooper? When you picked Watson? Was Lamar Miller, or Carlos Hyde, or Rex Burkhead available at 3? Or even Marshawn Lynch, Chris Carson, LeGarrett Blout, or Peyton Barber when you drafted Watson?

    So, im in a 10-team league, in a snake draft, and i won last year so I can pick my draft order, I dont like being the no.1 pick, I prefer being between 4-6, so what do you think, what do you recommend?

    Don’t get the 5th-8th pick. I was totally screwed over because everyone before me went RB and apparently, it’s looking like that’s the common theme across a lot of leagues, not just my league.

    I think that team looks legit! In a PPR league your WR's MIGHT be a tiny bit underwhelming....but I think waiting on a QB seems to be a solid move for you. I would look to get a stable backup QB with a relatively stable floor just in case Kirk doesn't live up to expectations. (Dalton/Tyrod-esque)

    But other than that, You're squad is nice
