Had my first draft last night pick 9 of 10 in standard scoring league (4pt per passing TD - no PPR). can start 3 WR's.
thought I'd share the results so people can comment on my team and see how drafts are falling in some early drafts.
Not a huge fan of pick 9. Pick 8 grabbed many players right before me that I would have liked to take.
anyway, teams not too bad, but will need to waiver wire help and luck to do well:
QB: Brees/Carr
RB: McCoy/D.Murray/Langford/Abdullah
WR: Dez/A-Rob/Hilton/M.Jones/K.White/M/Thomas
TE: Ertz
D/ST: NYG
K: Bailey
some surprises:
in a non-Giants fan league Beckham went #1
Gurley #2 and AB #3
Peterson dropped to #8
otherwise not much surprised me.
I like the team overall... A lot of potential with your WR core
I'm very concerned about Ertz as your TE1, though... What do your backups look like at the position?
Yes, I took Dez at 9
Pjcas, dep, arc, robbieballs and others. I posted about a fantasy draft I got throw into upcoming in a few hours. Already got some great advice but would love your guys takes as well. It's a football thread I created a few hours ago.
Damn, who else went in the 3rd?
When did you get M. Jones. I will be targetting him myself.

charles is a definite.
cooks, evans, cooper next. if charles is gone, take 2 WRs. I am avoiding freeman this year.

Thanks. Some risky picks. Olsen before McCoy haha.
Jobes in the 9th is awesome value. He will be gone in the round 6-7
Range in many drafts I think
McCoy is really shooting up my board.. he's my RB8 at this point behind Gurley, DJ, AP, Miller, Elliott, Bell and Charles. Looking to get him @ 3.3 in my 10 team draft. So I love that pick.
Also as I have said many times, I think Marvin Jones will return big value.. especially as a WR4. You have a very good group.. just sucks it's not PPR which would enhance that strength a bit but still plenty of value. A lot of potential upside at the back end between White and Thomas.
Like robbie said, I think given that it's a 10 team league there may be a couple rosters I'd prefer but this isn't a bad team by any means. Waiver wire is such a large component so I don't think you're far away from having a really good team if you wind up with one of those WW steals at the RB spot or maybe even TE.
Quote:
I like your first three picks overall but this team looks good for a 12 team league so I am guessing that there are other teams that look better than yours in your 10 team league. I like Ertz. I just feel like you may have reached for certain players. I think after the first three your team started to drop a little.

I like Watkins, Rodgers, Baldwin, Cobb, Landry, and maybe DT, more than Hilton but if Luck can regain his form because of his shitty OL then Hilton could be good. I like Murray where you got him. I think Brees went to high especially in a 4 point TD league. I see a lot of QBs went there but I would have went and gotten another skill player imo.
Don't love Ertz as a starting TE and I think the GMen have the upside to be a good fantasy Def. Overall, love your draft and I'd be pumped if mine went the same way.
Knowing how much we disagree on most things fantasy, this is a special moment in our relationship. Congrats.
I do disagree with arc's take on your RB's, I think you are very solid and deep. McCoy is obviously a bonafide starter. Murray should get the lionshare in Ten and by all accounts, they really like him. Langford will be valuable just based on touches alone. He's getting almost all of the work in the preseason with the first team and he is a well rounded back. Abdullah is an electric runner that det tried so hard with last year, but he fumbled a ton. When he corrects that, he's going to be a fantasy star. Another guy that does it all and if he can hold onto the ball, will get most of the touches in that backfield.
I have so many lists (including composite lists) I can't even decide what I want to use.
Do you even bother ranking them within Yahoo or do you just use your own sheets with the tiers you create and go by that?
I always feel prepared for my drafts strategy/player wise for the most part but I always feel too disorganized and lose track of stuff in the middle of the draft and wind up kind of winging it.
The way my mocks have been going (12 teams), I've been able to get either:
1- a great WR and a 2nd tier RB like Lacy and McCoy as my RB 1
2- a great RB and a 2nd tier WR like Watkins or Evans as my WR 1
It's tough finding good RB's though later rounds..

LOL. thanks. My 2nd draft (keeper) didn't go so well. major RB issues. I'll post later.
I like Newton better than Rodgers b/c of the rushing TD's. In my 10-team standard Newton went in round 3, 3rd pick.
Quote:
Rodgers vs Newton in a standard league (i.e. passing stats get less points).
Yea makes sense.
Any opinions on Keenan Allen vs Mike Evans vs Cooks? I know some of these things are getting rehashed but have draft soon so just want to consolidate haha

Hm let's try that again. Any opinions on Keenan Allen vs Evans vs Cooks?
We only need to start 2 RB's and can start 4 WR's.
12-team PPR.
QB: Romo/RG3/Prescott
RB: Gurley/Abdullah/Starks/D. Washington/P.Perkins
WR: Beckham/Watkins/Cooper/Landry/M.Jones/M. Thomas/D. Funchess/N. Algholor/
D/ST: NYG
K: none yet, need to waive someone before the season
I'll probably trade a WR for a RB2 if I can, and watch waivers for this year CJ Anderson.
Even with Abdullah as my RB2, i think it's a strong team.

In PPR I like Allen, Cooks, Evans
non PPR I like Cooks, Evans, Allen
Peterson and Gurley are locks
We start 3 wrs 10 team 3 keeper (2 with optional 3) half ppr
I pick 4th.. What are the odds I keep Charles and redraft Cooper? Cooper would be my keeper in the future. He is ranked 5th in dynasty. Value wise I think it's smart. I was GOING to keep Cooper and let Charles walk... but it's Charles and I can likely redraft Cooper or get a similar WR depending on how smart teams are... I was leaning Cooper but Charles should be the pick? Or don't even risk Cooper for one single pick in a keeper league with 3 starting WRs??
Here is the board without any adjustments, first 3 rounds are keeper rounds and go in order no snaking teams can select a new player in Round 3 if they don't have a 3rd keeper but move to the end of Round 4:
1. Randall Cobb (SMT)
2. Eddie Lacy (TBZ)
3. AJ Green (SIBF)
4. Adrian Peterson ----ME-----
5. Antonio Brown (SP)
6. Jordy Nelson (BBR)
7. DeAndre Hopkins (BBB)
8. Julio Jones (PFB)
9. Lesean McCoy (LHR)
10. Odell Beckham, Jr. (SBB)
11. Jarvis Landry (SMT)
12. CJ Anderson (TBZ)
13. Dez Bryant (SIBF)
14. Todd Gurley -----ME----
15. Leveon Bell (SP)
16. Allen Robinson (BBR)
17. Mark Ingram (BBB)
18. Lamar Miller (PFB)
19. Thomas Rawls (LHR)
20. Rob Gronkowski (SBB)
21. ***** First pick in keeper league will be Ezekial Elliot
22. *****
23. *****
24. I can Keeper Jamaal Charles or Amari Cooper here. I was leaning Cooper but Charles should be the pick? Or don't even risk Cooper for one pick in a keeper league with 3 WRs??
25. ******
26. Mike Evans (BBR)
27. DeMarco Murray (BBB)
28. Devonta Freeman (PFB)
29. Sammy Watkins (LHR)
30. David Johnson (SBB)
Any team starred above moves after me so I pick first. The 3 teams ahead of me were picking ahead of me regardless, the one after me will jump me by only keeping 2 and picking in round 3 and it doesnt penalize him as it relates to me because he picks after me anyway. I am most worried about this team getting Cooper but he should be looking at RB with Bell suspended.
BEST AVAILABLE NON KEEPERS USING ESPN CURRENT STANDARD RANKINGS (Even though we're keeper and half ppr)
***21. Ezekial Elliot
***22. Doug Martin (this team probably goes WR though)
***23. Brandon Marshall (he probably falls because it's keeper and the team picking here has Dez and AJ so if the pick before him goes WR he likely takes Doug Martin here)
***25. Alshon Jeffery (currently on my roster too but can't keeper him. Contract year as well. This team could go Jeffery but Jeffery will go at 22 imo. They may need RB because of Bell. I am worried about this pick jumping me).
31. Brandin Cooks (also currently on my roster)
32. Jordan Reed (doubt he goes this early)
33. Amari Cooper
34. Demaryius Thomas
35. Keenan Allen
Do I keep Charles and risk Cooper based on the above? Or try and trade Charles for anything (can package Jeffery and or Cooks).
As it stands: Elliot, Jeffery, D. Martin should go first 3 non-keeper picks it's the 4th team that may hop me I am concerned with..
QB: T. Taylor(BUF)
RB: L.Bell(PIT), M.Forte(NYJ), R.Jennings(NYG), D.Woodhead(SD), J.Forsett(BAL), J.Langford(CHI)
WR: D.Bryant(DAL), D.Baldwin(SEA), L.Fitzgerald(ARI), T.Benjamin(SD), T.Pryor(CLE)
TE: J.Graham(SEA), J.Witten(DAL)
Let me know if you have room in the league next year :)

Edelman is ranked between 18 and 33 at WR based on the source, he was the 17th WR taken - this is not PPR where I could see taking him higher. He's got Garoppolo for 4 games and is by most people's guess, not a good bet to play more than 8 games.
Freeman has a higher ADP than Ingram too in every source I look at.
I don't think either of those are bad. There were some bad picks though. One guy it was his first time doing FFL. He took Greg Olsen in the 3rd, Andy Dalton as his starting QB in the 7th.
threw off the whole draft. that's the same guy who traded me Beckham for that 5th pick.
Last year in our draft he drafted 3 QB's in his first 4 picks. He drafted Beckham, Brees, Peyton, and Brady. In that order. And he was ridiculed mercilessly. he lost in the league finals b/c his other guys were all great and he traded Brees and Peyton early.

Wait.. someone took Derrick Henry 5th overall?
