What pick do you have? What type of league?


Recommended Posts

I have the 6th overall pick in a 10 team standard scoring league.

 

Its also a snake draft.

 

 

I am really hoping a top 3 RB falls to me as I can expect Julio,OBJ, and Antonio Brown to go in the top 5

 

How about you guys?

10 team league, keeper is Mike Evans or Julio, going with whoever is healthiest at end of camp. The draft list won't populate til draft day the 26th.

 

I was thinking about setting up a 10 team TBD league and donating a certain percentage of the prize pool to a charity of the groups choice. I'm not sure what level of interest we would have and would also seek SDS approval before doing anything formal.

I would be down for that league

No idea what pick I have yet. We draw random order for picking your own draft spot. So if you draw #1 you have your choice of the 12 spots. Adds a strategy element to the game.

 

That being said, what is the consensus best spot to be picking this year?

 

4 and 21? Ugh that 21 seems like an eternity away.

 

12 and 13? That is my go to pick, but I am starting to think that is a bit too late.

Yahoo league where the draft is done automatically. I think it's 12 people so there's a decent mix of good players. This will be my third year. My first year I ended up with both Gronk and Edleman. Last year my players all sucked so I was doing a lot of FA pickups throughout the year. Actually got to play spoiler towards the end when not once, but twice, my 10th place team beat a top seeded playoff team.

I have the 2nd pick in a 10 team league.

 

Snake Draft

 

I'm hoping to land David Johnson, to be honest. I'm in it with a buddy and several of his co-workers from work. He was telling me the first guy is boasting to the rest that he is selecting Brady with his first pick.

They would be foolish. Look at Brady's numbers the last 3 or so weeks in the postseason before he had that half in the SB. I'm being the know it all fool in my draft, keeping Evans over Julio.

Brady will have Cooks and Gronk back. While I certainly wouldn't take him in the first, I am definitely making him my keeper for a 4th rounder in my keeper league. If I am wrong then haha :censored: the Pats.

 

Evans over Julio is a brave move.

I picked 3rd it was a one keeper league.

 

Keeper Evans

Gurley

Cook

Reed

Benjamin

Perkins

Haushuka

Jaguars D

Carson

Hunt

Foreman

Kendall Wright

Deandre Washington

Devante Parker

 

I got burnt on running backs last year, I love KB and Evans so I'm hoping they both big seasons and my young backs get the lions share of carries and it allows me to play 3 backs and dictate match ups! I'm high on Hunt and Carson looked good. I got the guys I wanted for the most part, doesn't mean it will pan out but we shall see.

 

Winston is Qb'in this mess!

I have the 6th pick in a snake draft on 9/5. I think it will be too soon for Zeke unless his suspension is reduced. Any other ideas there?

It all depends if you can convince yourself that any RB on the board is going to stay healthy. Gordon/Shady/Etc. If you feel good about a RB take him at 6, WR has much more depth and the bell cow backs are rare.

I had the #3 pick in an NFL.COM PPR 12 team snake league.

 

I picked Antonio Brown...by the time my second pick came, all "sure thing #1 RB's" were off the board, so I picked Gronkowski.

 

My QB's: Jamies Winston and Jay Cutler

 

My Running Backs: Joe Mixon, CJ Anderson, Doug Martin, Rob Kelley, Jonathan Stewart, and Jamaal Williams

 

My receivers: Antonio Brown, Keenan Allen, DeSean Jackson, Kenny Stills, Zay Jones

 

My TE's: Rob Gronkowski and CJ Fidorowics

 

PK: Blair Walsh

 

DEF/ST: Seattle Seahawks

 

I am pretty happy with everything, except my running backs...if Mixon turns out to be the stud that he is purported to be, I will be in decent shape...

i an hoping I could get Zeke in the 2nd with a snake draft... and maybe take AB, Julio, etc at 6. but it's a huge risk

That said I'll all in on Kareem Hunt for the Chefs. How long can I wait?

Haha that's tough to gauge because Ware is now officially on the shelf for the season. I found the NFL.com ratings to be way off this year. I picked the guys when I wanted them, not where their ADP had them going. Just call me Doug Whaley!

 

In all seriousness though you can overdraft running backs and find WR value up and down the draft. Benjamins ADP was 80!? Davante Parker was like 100!? Plenty of guys like that who would be fine as a WR2 outside of Brown or Julio, Evans etc.

 

Take WR at 6 then get two backs in the 2nd and 3rd if the board shakes out like it should. Even if you miss on Zeke you can still find a Fournette, Cook, who will be getting volume.

Joined another league late which was a 14 team format, Snake Draft PPR. Had the third overall pick.

 

Starters-

 

QB - Rodgers

RBs - Lamar Miller and Shady

WR - Rishard Mathews and Kelvin Benjamin

TE- Delanie Walker (Dwayne Allen on the bench)

D/ST - Rams for week 1 against the Colts will drop and claim either Baltimore or Cinci after week one

K- Prater

Flex- Rob Kelley

 

Eventually looking to trade Kelley & Walker for a TE, noticed one of the teams in my league is very weak at RB but they have Kelce so probably going to offer them, Kelley and Walker.

10 team PPR league, had the fourth pick in a snake draft:

 

QB: Dak Prescott

Philip Rivers

 

RB: Lamar Miller

Ty Montgomery

Duke Johnson Jr.

Chris Thompson

 

WR: Antonio Brown

Doug Baldwin

Emmanuel Sanders

Tyreek Hill

Donte Moncrief

Adam Thielen

Chris Hogan

 

TE: Greg Olsen

 

DF: Jaguars

 

PK: Adam Vinatieri

 

There was just no value at RB for me. After the first three picks went Johnson-Bell-Shady I couldn't not take Brown. I'm thinking I can trade Sanders for a solid RB2 with a team weak at WR.

I am in a 14 team league as well and I HATE it. To many teams. I think your team is good for that amount though. Not sure why you are worried about the TE position. Seems ok. I think your WR's are adequate but could be better so if you were to try to improve an area that would be it. Not horrible at all. Good luck!!

Why don't you grab Williams from GB that's Montgomery's back up? They say he might end up being the bell cow there. I like to get Duke Johnson but in my first draft I waited to long and when I mock I always seem to wait to long.

I'm not convinced that he'll actually compete for significant touches if Montgomery plays the way he did last year. Shane Vereen, Charles Sims, and Jamaal Charles are all available. Not sure who I'd drop though.

Yeah, I think that as well with my WRs. The reason behind me wanting Kelce is due to the number of receptions he has averaged over the past few seasons and that coinciding with the PPR he has almost 20+ more per a year than Walker. I also have Sherperd and Snead on my bench along with Perine. Thinking about it last night I rather ditch Perine than Kelley.

 

I actually had a chance to draft Sammy which he was there until the 8th/9th round and his ADP 70+ positions lower than the next receivers but chose Mathews instead.

12 team auction draft, PPR. My first auction draft league.

QB - Cam Newton

HB - LeSean McCoy
HB - Kareem Hunt
WR - Michael Thomas
WR - Terrelle Pryor
TE - Jason Witten
D/ST - Ravens
K - Dan Bailey

Bench:
QB - Philip Rivers
HB - Jamaal Charles
HB - Terrence West
HB - Rex Burkhead
WR - DeSean Jackson

WR - Sammy Watkins
WR - Zay Jones
TE - Charles Clay

I'm pretty happy with the results, given that it was my first auction draft. McCoy, Hunt, and Thomas should be beasts this year. Cam Newton has finished top 7 in fantasy scoring in all but one of his seasons. Then I have high upside bench players like West, Charles, Burkhead, Zay, that I got on the cheap. We'll see how it goes. $600 prize for the winner.
