My 2 main teams...

10-team PPR. Had 9th pick. I didn't plan on it, but loaded up on WR based on who was available.
QB: Russell Wilson
WR: AJ Green, Jordy Nelson, Doug Baldwin, Demaryius Thomas, Zay Jones
RB: Bilal Powell, Danny Woodhead, Ameer Abdullah, Mike Gillislee, Duke Johnson, Jonathan Stewart, Jamaal Williams, Rex Burkhead
TE: Eric Ebron
D and K: TBD

Will drop Williams and one of Jones/Burkhead to fill my open spots. Already lost Meredith.

12-team, .5 PPR. Picked 1st.
QB: Andy Dalton
WR: Keenan Allen, Golden Tate, Pierre Garcon, Adam Thielen, Robby Anderson
RB: David Johnson, Bilal Powell, CJ Anderson, Terrance West, CJ Prosise, James White, James Conner
TE: Rob Gronkowski
D: Buffalo (vs NYJ week 1)
K: TBD

I like the first team. I targeted Powell in both of my one year leagues so far, and it looks like Forte's roster spot isn't safe. I agree with the "no RB" strategy in PPR.

I think your receivers really need help for the second one. I don't like this one at all.

10 Team PPR


QB - Marcus Mariota
RB - Le'Veon Bell
RB - Jordan Howard
WR - Amari Cooper
WR- Allen Robinson
TE - Martellus Bennett
FLEX - Emmanuel Sanders
D/ST - Panthers
K - Mason Crosby

Bench: Stefon Diggs, Bilal Powell, Jeremy Maclin, Adrian Peterson, Randall Cobb, Tevin Coleman, Jamaal Charles

As mentioned, I'm a big fan of Powell this year. I'm avoiding Robinson even though he should be a target monster. Cooper is good value in the third. I think you could cut Charles.

12 Team PPR


QB - Winston
RB - David Johnson
RB - Tevin Coleman
WR - TY Hilton
WR - Keenan Allen
WR - Terrelle Pryor Sr
TE - Greg Olsen
FLEX - Jeremy Maclin
D/ST - Seahawks
K - S. Janikowski

Bench: Dak Prescott, Frank Gore, Sterling Shepard, Chris Ivory, Kendall Wright

Gore is probably a wasted pick in my opinion. The same goes for Ivory. Pryor looks like a good pick considering where you might have gotten him.

So... losing power to my house with a combination of just getting a puppy made me totally forget about the draft. Which has NEVER happened.

I got autoed for about 10 rounds. How does this look (standard league)

QB: Mariota, Carr
WR: Cooks, Cooper, Hopkins, Landry, Theilen
RB: McCoy, Ajayi, Gore
TE: Rudolph, Hooper
K: Bailey
DEF: Denver, NYG (I plan to drop the NYG though)

Zac Jones is out there. Do I drop Theilen for him?

I know my TE's are iffy. Trying to search the waiver for a backup.

I like Hooper, but I don't like carrying a backup tight end unless there are a lot of bench spots. Your running back depth is really shaky. I like your receivers, though.

Here's my team in a 14 team 0.5 PPR league. I picked 12th:

QB - A. Luck
WR-M. Thomas
WR-D. Baldwin
RB- J. Mixon
RB-D. Martin
TE- T. Eifert
Flex- TY Hilton
K-M. Prater
DEF - Giants
BN- P. Rivers
BN- D. Woodhead
BN- Zay Jones
BN- L. Murray
BN- G. Bernard

Give it to me straight :cry: . My RBs are awful, there were no good value picks available at my first 3 picks so I went WR-WR-WR.

I don't think it's that bad. You're going to need a running back for the first few weeks, as Martin is suspended and Mixon probably won't get as many snaps as he should. I think you could cut Murray.

I got Zeke in the 3rd and Cook was still there in round 8 I believe.

Hopkins was a 5th rounder for me, Cooks was my 2nd rounder.

I think Allen was 7th? Maybe. Somewhere around there.

Not my ideal team, it was one of those drafts where they guy I was targeting went the pick before, and it just so happened when taking the BPA that I ended up with 3 Vikings and the 2 Saints receivers.

I'm torn on Mixon but with Cook there you could insert one of your depth receivers there. Chances are of course I'm wrong about Mixon too so there's that.

I think Mixon's 10 times the back Jeremy Hill is, and with Gio coming off the injury, I think it's only a matter of time before he takes over at least the 1/2nd down and goal line work. He's too special of a talent to be held back, and he's just so versatile that it's a nightmare for opposing Ds.

I think Mixon is the most talented runner for Cincy, but Marvin Lewis scares me. Turbin feels like a wasted pick for me. You probably got Snead late, which is good. I like Ertz a lot this year.

I think you should have taken another receiver where you took Coleman. Receivers in keepers are more consistent and last longer. I think your late round lottery tickets are worth it except Njoku. Rivers is always so underrated for fantasy.

Thanks for the review! Always appreciated! But where I picked Coleman I thought I might be able to grab a quality WR after that but all the good ones went in that round like 10 on 11.

Looks good. I'm not sold on Baldwin, but you could do a lot worse than him. I'm a big fan of Martavis Bryant this year. Luck might be out a few weeks. I think Zeke will play the whole year, but I'm alone there.

That's a not-unreasonable position. In either case, I think you're well-set.

My second draft, a free league where I know only half of the guys (run by a guy from my office, started with a bunch of his hometown buddies, so I will mess around a bit on this draft

12 teams, standard-ish scoring, I picked #2

QB - Rodgers
RB - Bell, Abdullah
WR - M. Bryant, D. Jackson, Decker
TE - Gronkowski
Flex - Moncrief
K - Hopkins
DEF - Baltimore

Bench
RB - J. White, Rawls, D. Lewis, Kamara
WR - Thielen, Kupp. T. Benjamin

Went QB and Te early here, turns out drafting at #2 is probably not the place to try this, as while I like Martavis, I missed an entire two tiers IMO of receivers. And then while loading up on them, I ended up with concern after concern at RB. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I like your receivers. Can't go wrong with AB and Hilton as long as Luck comes back soon. I'm bullish on Decker this year. Hard to say about your RBs but Gillislee has big potential. Not a big fan of Walker because the Titans are deep at RB and WR now, but you never know. Can't go wrong with Brees either. Overall I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

Let's start with a positive: if they stay healthy you could easily have the #1 RB, QB and TE on your roster when the season is done. That alone is a decent win in my books. Your top 4 WRs are big boom-bust types to me. And it might be hard to find consistency with them. But I like your depth choices a lot. Not huge on your RBs but there's some potential in your RB depth too. I would give this team a 9 out of 10.

Had my draft yesterday in my record league that's been going on for 6 years now.

redraft - 12 team, full PPR, Superflex (so basically 2 QBs), we start 2RB, 3 WR + flex. I had the 8th pick.

Very happy about my draft overall. Missed out on DaVante Parker in the 10th as I busted my allotted time and had Rawls ahead of him in my queue (mistake on my part). I was really high on Winston as a QB2 or even QB1, but he went very early (early 3rd round).

Took both Pats running backs in 2 of the last 3 rounds so that I can see on Thusrday what Bill has in mind this year for his backfield.

1. AJ Green (almost took Rodgers, but...)
2. Rodgers (couldn't believe he fell there in a Superflex league)
3. Hyde (reached a bit IMO, but he's more of a bellcow than Hunt at this point)
4. McCaffrey (full PPR did it for me)
5. D.Thomas (then again, kept falling for some reason, was picked after Hill, Adams, Jeffery and Landry)
6. Crowder (Lots of good WR went in this range, maybe I could have gone with Woodhead here)
7. Eli Manning (love him as a QB2 especially after the likes of Taylor and Wentz)
8. C.J Anderson (again, he fell, but to me he could be a 3 down back in Denver)
9. Rudolph (he and Delanie Walker were available here)
10. Rawls (should have gone Parker, but I like Rawls to overtake Lacy)
11. Cutler (realized Rodgers and Eli are on bye in week 8, had to do something. Cutler might play in weeks where Eli has a tough matchup)
12. Britt (needed a high floor WR4)
13. Z.Jones (should see targets)
14. Jamaal Williams (GB) (I like Montgomery, but Williams is just one injury away)
15. R.Anderson (somebody is gonna catch passes in New York)
16. R.Burkhead (let's see what Bill does)
17. Bengals D (interesting start to the season, I will Stream my DST anwyays)
18. D.Lewis (let's see what Bill does)

I will wait and see if I pick up a kicker for week 1 based on my score.

QB : Rodgers, E.Manning, Cutler
RB: Hyde, McCaffrey, CJ Anderson, Rawls, Jamaal Williams, Burkhead, D.Lewis
WR: Green, D.Thomas, Crowder, Britt, Z.Jones, R.Anderson
TE: Rudolph
K: none
DST: Bengals

Am I too optimistic about this lineup?

LOVE Powell in PPR so there's that. I would actually start him ahead of Mixon until Mixon does something (not a fan of that 3 headed committee in Cincy). Freeman, Kelce, Green, Thomas, Tate are all solid in PPR and Wilson has a high ceiling due to his legs. Vikings D is good and Lutz will play in a dome (and is a kicker so whatever). Mariota can play based on matchups and you handcuffed Freeman with Coleman so that was a smart move. Lots of upside on the bench with White, Henry and Ebron in the right situations.

Really a solid PPR team.

12 teams .5 PPR:

6 Mike Evans, TB WR
19 Leonard Fournette, Jax RB
30 Dalvin Cook, Min RB
43 Keenan Allen, LAC WR
54 Jamison Crowder, Wsh WR
67 Mike Gillislee, NE RB
78 Adam Thielen, Min WR
91 Jameis Winston, TB QB
102 Duke Johnson Jr., Cle RB
115 Jordan Matthews, Buf WR
126 Robby Anderson, NYJ WR
139 Samaje Perine, Wsh RB
150 Julius Thomas, Mia TE
163 Vikings D/ST D/ST
174 Wil Lutz, NO K

I was the last one to pick a TE and think only one team picked a backup so I just kept waiting and took a shot with Thomas. There's guys like Ebron, Fleener, Brate and Cook available.

I hated the Matthews pick but the clock was running out and I panicked. I should have just taken Anderson there and found someone to take coming back. Or even Andre Holmes who I like better than Matthews for Buffalo.
