    I wouldn’t regret that at all. Puka is one of those guys that can explode and win you a playoff game single-handedly.


    Yes, but drafting Puka does not come without some risk.  Mainly the long-term health of Matthew Stafford which is highly in question.  That said, Puka is a good pick and could be a top 3 WR if things fall into place.

    Thanks, JH.  I typically start three RBs (one as a flex) in my league since it is a standard scoring league, so I usually draft two RBs in the first two rounds and sometimes a third RB in the third round since there are so few RBs available that play a majority of the snaps.  I agree that Chase is in position to have another great year and if I was picking a bit later in the first round (maybe sixth or seventh) I probably would draft him.  Josh Allen also is tempting, especially if he is available in the second round.


    Dude, regardless you’re going to be able to get one of Bijan, Gibbs or Saquon.  This isn’t rocket surgery.

    I have my draft tomorrow night and I am picking 4th.  Standard scoring (no PPR).  I will draft a RB in the first round.  If the choice is between Henry and Jacobs, who would you pick?  

     

    A little worried that Henry will not be in for 3rd down passing plays and may lose some carries in general to other backs for the Ravens.  If Gibbs is available, I would pick him before Henry and Jacobs.  If Bijan Robinson is available, I would think about taking him (I know that he is generally ranked higher than Gibbs, Henry and Jacobs), but the Falcons' offense scares me a bit with a second year QB.


    I’d take Henry over Jacobs if Gibbs or Robinson is not there.  However, I think one of Gibbs/Robinson/Barkley will be there at pick 4.  Have you thought about Ja’Marr Chase as an option if the top 3 RBs go top 3?  That would be my move.

    I'm hoping Pearsall and Henderson explode.

    Saving Rice for end of year. Can suspensions go to IR?

    Brian Robinson in case CMC goes down. 

    The missing rounds are Defensive players. No backups for those.

    Thanks! I kinda feel like Pickens is gonna explode this year. With Dak. He was there in like round 9 or 10 when I got him. 

     

    Honestly my draft was largely an upside draft with guys like Pickens, Keon, Kincaid & Pitts


    I took Pickens late too.  I think he’s going to have a big year opposite Lamb.

    Anyone draft Quinton Judkins? If so, where? Took him in the 16th round as a flyer


    He went undrafted in my 10 team league.  I took him late in my 8 team league, but then dropped him for Egbuka.  I have a strange feeling that there will be a suspension, and it’s weird that he hasn’t signed yet.  I suspect he’s looking for a fully guaranteed contract.  May return to college.  We’ll see.

    Alright guys... gotta ask... here's my team. What do you think?

     

    (10 team league. I drafted 2nd... and yes... I took Josh with that pick)

    WR: MHjr

    RB: Bucky Irving 

    RB: Cook

    TE: Kincaid

    Keon

    Pitts

    Ekeler

    Javonte Williams 

     

     

    .

    And yes... I draft with Bills colored glasses obviously   :thumbsup:


    Not bad.  I’m a little concerned about your RBs.  I might try to move Pickens for a RB2/Flex.  I respect the first round QB pick, but you could have gotten an elite player there and got a good QB in round 3-4.  Just my opinion.  Good luck!

    My draft is Tuesday, very odd year because it is one of those dangerous years that can feel predictable but those are often times the most volatile years. From the Bills perspective it is one of those years where outside of Josh whose gonna be in most formats a 2nd round pick there's a lot of good reasons to outside of Josh avoid taking a player or take a player. 

     

    I would say most draftable players outside of Josh

    1. James Cook (gonna go in late round 3 to early round 5 range)
    2. Kincaid (Likely a round 8-10 players)
    3. Keon (likely round 7-8 player)
    4. Shakir (likely round 7-9 player)
    5. Palmer(likely round 10 or later)
    6. Bills Defense (viable fantasy defense)

    But for as good as any one of those players can be there's also big risk involved in taking them and an equally compelling case not to. 


    James Cook is a tough one for me bc while he is the lead back, Davis and (mainly) Ty Johnson poach a lot of touches in obvious passing situations.  I expect a regression from last year in terms of rushing TDs.  Particularly with JA taking a lot of the goal line touches.  That said, I’d take him as a RB3/flex option in a heartbeat.

     

    The only WR I’d target in later rounds is Keon Coleman who I see an expanded role for this year.  Especially RZ targets.  Wait and see on Shakir.

    1/2 PPR, one FLEX, 10-man league. Standard scoring except we have a "nuclear kick" benefit where if your kicker boots a 65+-yarder, you get 50 points. 

     

    QB: Lamar Jackson

    RB: James Cook

    RB: Treveyon Henderson

    WR: Justin Jefferson

    WR: Brian Thomas Jr.

    TE: David Njoku

    FLEX: Zay Flowers

    DST: Steelers

    K: Tyler Bass 

     

    Bench: JK Dobbins, Josh Downs, Chris Godwin, Aaron Jones, Colston Loveland, Jacobi Meyers, Braelon Allen. 

     

    I picked 4/10. Kicker might be an issue. I'm also not thrilled with my RB situation. I like Henderson for his kick return ability, and I like the Jackson/Flowers stack. 


    Henderson is going to be a PPR machine.  Again, looks like Godwin isn’t going to be practicing fully until after week three.  I guess there’s a chance he plays week 4.  Too bad TB didn’t just put him on short term IR.  I love Colston Loveland.  He’ll probably end up being your TE1 before long.

    My 12 team home league roster. Full PPR, one flex. 

    Was planning to go RB heavy early because WR is so deep this year, but the rest of the league beat me to it, so I pivoted. WRs first three rounds. Wound up with my usual Zero RB build: Three elite receivers, good tight end, fill the bench with upside and dart throw running backs.

    QB: Fields/Lawrence/Young

    RB: Kamara
    RB: Pacheco
    WR: Nabers
    WR: London
    TE: Andrews
    Flex: McConkey
    D/ST: LAC
    K: Tyler Loop

    Notable bench: Chris Olave, Tyrone Tracy, Jordan Mason, Braelon Allen, Dylan Sampson, Kyle Monangai (like I said...RB upside and dart throw plays)

    This strategy tends to work pretty well for me most years because WR tends to be more stable health-wise than RB. I think Pacheco is gonna remind everyone this year why he had a 2nd round ADP the year before, and I think London is gonna lead the league in WR targets.

    Overall, I feel good. And ESPN ranked my roster dead last, which is how I know I'm onto something!

     


    Jordan Mason is going to be a big part of the offense.  I think Pacheco is going to be bogged down in a RBBC situation.  Just my opinion.

    I keep reading great things about Egbuka, good pick up


    Looks like Egbuka is going to start the season as WR2 with all the uncertainty around Godwin.  In that offense he should be a target machine operating out of the slot for Baker Mayfield.  Definitely WR2 potential.

    Great team, I always feel those 8 man leagues end up with stacked lineups. 
    Always been a fan of 12 team leagues for that reason, to each their own though. 
     

    This is my $125 buy-in league, a 12 man, auction and keeper league (3 allowed. No duplicates from the year prior):

     

    QB: Josh

    RB: Breece Hall

    RB: Aaron Jones

    WR: Ladd McConk

    WR: Calvin Ridley

    TE: Mark Andrews

    W/R/T: Jammy Williams

    (Bench: Mixon/Purdy/Keon Coleman/Rashee Rice/Jordan Mason/Jake Ferguson/Trey Benson)


     

     

    my other 2 leagues are $25 buy ins and regular snake draft - 12 man, one I feel great about: 
     

    QB: Joe Burrow

    RB: Devon Achane

    RB: James Cook

    WR: Malik Nabers

    WR: Cam Sutton

    TE: Tyler Warren

    W/R/T: Egbuka

    (Bench: Stroud/Breece Hall/David Montgomery/Chris Olave/Matt Golden/Shakir/Colston Loveland)

     

     


     

    My thing I got into last year is the 14 teams Guillotine drafts on Yahoo. Lowest scorer each week is eliminated. It’s free but there is prizes throughout the season. 


     

     


    Never heard of a guillotine league.  Seems like a fun idea.  This is a free league run by my son.  My regular league in a 10 team league and the draft is on Sunday.

     

    I love Tyler Warren.  I think he could have a Brock Bowers type season with the Colts.

     

    What are you going to do with Joe Mixon?  Sounds likely that he may miss the season.  Also Rashee Rice?  Can you stash him on IR with his suspension?  Also love Colston Loveland in that Ben Johnson offense.  I think Caleb Williams, Loveland, Swift, DJ Moore, and even Luther Burder could have big years.

    That’s an awesome roster.  I’m assuming not many teams in your league?


    Only 8.  It’s my son’s league, so they don’t know what they’re doing and draft like crap.  I got Gibbs with my second round pick.  😂 

    Just now, buffaloboyinATL said:

    So I assume Gibbs was your first pick? I draft on Tuesday. 12 team redraft league with a half point PPR. (Old school commish fought 1 point ppr, so we compromised).
     

    I have the #4 pick and figure it will go Chase, Bijan, Jefferson and then I will go either Gibbs or Lamb, depending on my mood.
     

    Not sure how you got Lamb and Gibbs. Kudos to you.  


    Lamb in the 1st.  Gibbs in the 2nd.  Three QBs went in the first round.

  15. Hey all.  I thought it would be cool to have a fantasy football thread on the main board.  The FF sub-forum doesn’t seem to get a lot of traffic.  I reached out to @Simon and while not a traditional practice here at TBD, he kindly agreed to pin a thread for about a week or so.  Maybe another one around the trade deadline depending upon how this goes.
     

    As many people are holding their drafts this weekend, this seemed like a good time.  Please feel free to post your roster for evaluation, discuss your “sleeper” players, draft strategy and anything else FF draft related.

     

    This is from my son’s league which drafted on Monday.  Eight team re-draft league.  One point PPR.  I picked 4th.
     

    My team:

    QB: Jayden Daniels

    RB: Jahmyr Gibbs

    RB: De’Von Achane

    WR: CeeDee Lamb

    WR: Tyreek Hill

    Flex: Jaxon Smith-Njigba

    TE: TJ Hockenson

    D/ST: Bills

    K: Tyler Bass

     

    Bench: Caleb Williams, Tony Pollard, Calvin Ridley, Emeka Egbuka, Kyle Pitts, Kaleb Johnson, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt.

     

    Thoughts?  I’m trying to think of someone to drop so I can pick up another defense/ST.  I released Jacoby Meyers to add Egbuka, and Pacheco to pick up Croskey-Merritt.
