I had my live $$ draft last night. Ended up with the 12th, last pick
Took DeAnre Hopkins, Michael Thomas, & Zach Ertz with my first 3 picks..so clearly I'm in a RB cluster
QB- Brees, Jameis Winston WR- Thomas, Hopkins, Sammy Watkins, Sterling Shepard RB- Josh Jacobs, James White, Tarik Cohen, Kenyan Drake, Kalen Ballage, Duke Johnson TE - Ertz K - Josh Elliot DEF- Bills
I know absolutely nothing about Josh Jacobs..but he was best RB available in 4th round so after him I went with White and Cohen since they are good in PPR. I lucked out in it scrolled across tv about Lamar Miller injury and my pick was coming up so I took Duke Johnson. I didn't get a back up TE since Ertz bye isnt until week 10 so I'll worry about that then. I'll end up drpping Drake or Ballage..when I figure out who's the starter in Miami. I think I did pretty good with last pick, got Bree-Thomas 1-2 combo and elite receptions with Hopkins, Thomas & Ertz. I'll ride as far as this Josh Jacobs guy takes me I guess.

QB: Jameis Winston RB: Saquon Barkley, James White, Matt Breida, Justice Hill, Justin Jackson, Chase Edmunds WR: Antonio Brown, Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, Sterling Shepard, Tyrell Williams, DJ Chark TE: Zach Ertz K: Stephen Gostkowski IDP: JJ Watt, Jaylon Smith, Antoine Bethea I like it since you have 4 players I drafted as well, and we both took Ertz in the 3rd round. I think we both need Shepard to have a break out year..he's got better each year..he's due for 80-1000-8. With Tate out first 4 games, and no OBJ..he needs to get off to a big start. I think he's your WR2

How the hell did Hopkins fall to #12?
I have the #12 pick in my draft in a few hours and no way on earth could I dream of getting him there.
Knowing you went Hopkins, MT, Ertz, Jacobs..... to get - I assume - White/Cohen on the 5/6 swing really helped waiting on RB and obviously Duke will prove to be a massive steal.

Well the #1 pick is a Big Packers fan..so he threw us all over taking Devante Adams with the first pick (he drafted Rodgers too) then 9 straight RB's went, then the 11th team is from KC..and his team name was "rolling with Mahomes" ..so he took Mahomes 11th..left me with no option but get Hopkins & Thomas.
It'll be a year of asking who to start at Flex for me..I'm hoping Shepard has a big year.
Probably pointless to have either Dolphins RB

Devante Adams with the #1 pick LMAO. Please let my drafts go that way.
You may luck out with Duke Johnson given the injury to Lamar Miller.

I may jump on board the Josh Jacobs wagon and look to draft him tomorrow night too.

My live draft yesterday - riddled with distractions thanks to far too many kids and far too much food/drink: QB: Newton, Big Ben RB: Conner, Jacobs, Lindsay, Justice Hill, Justin Jackson, Andrew Mattison WR: Juju, Allen Robinson, C. Samuel, Kirk, Fitz TE: Ertz K: Gostkowski DEF: [Didn't draft one] Drafted several of the same guys from my 14 team draft (hill, jackson, kirk, ertz, gotskowski). Could have drafted Winston but didn't want to double-dip on that. Wasn't planning on taking a TE early again but Ertz was sitting their 4th round, so yeah, couldn't pass on that value.
Speaking of 4th round, Duke Johnson went early 4th. I know his value has skyrocketed but that seemed like a reach
I waited on QB - like my 14 teamer where I got Jameis #169 - and got Cam pick #133. I was the 2nd to last to draft a QB and at this point a couple people had even drafted backups. Last owner to get a QB was Lamar Jackson a few picks later. Wasn't 100% sure about Cam's week 1 status so rather than draft a defense in round 15, I just picked up Ben as insurance. Crazy to think Ben was the last pick of the draft. He went round 11 in my 14 teamer. If Cam is good to go, then I'll drop Ben for a defense. Then again I have Juju, so I'll ponder it over and maybe drop Mattison. If Gordon ends his holdout, then Jackson is the easy drop. We'll see. Still a couple weeks until the season.

If I already had Juju I would have drafted Big Ben over Cam. I think Juju is going to have a big year, the fact you got Ben as your backup is crazy..and last pick. I like a 1-2 combo, and see less running from Cam this year..although he's a goal line thief.

My concern with Ben is, as usual, his struggles on the road. Plus he doesn't have a great schedule to start the season: @ Patriots, vs Seahawks, @ Niners, vs Bengals, vs Ravens, @ Chargers and then bye week. So I really only see 1 "plus" matchup in there. I'm sure that played a key role in why he is #14 among the "experts" - along with losing AB.
As for Cam, in the last 7 seasons, he has finished in the top 4 in fantasy 5 times - including #2 in 2017. He was on pace for #6 last season before the shoulder injury. By all accounts the shoulder is fine. If the foot is fine, he should be good for another strong season, esp. with the strong receiving core. Experts have him #7.
As much as I like a Ben/Juju stack, I just want the best players. Plus I have Curtis Samuel, so I'll have a stack going regardless.

That said, I am keeping my eye on Cam. He apparently is still rehabbing and his first game is against the Rams, so if there is even the slightest concern with him, I'll keep Ben and just roll him out against the Pats and hope for a shootout.
Cam though week 2 and 3 face Tampa Bay and the Cardinals. JUICY matchups.

Well there's no telling what Snow does. He may take Dak knowing him. if Zeke is there at 4 I may take him if Kamara is gone..but plan is to go with Kamara I have a feeling a few teams won't show so will be autopilot and go by fast

Snow had autodraft on so that's really not fair odds. I'll give you that one.
I almost always make te drafts. It's mid season bball that I sometimes fall off. Anyway, wager on week 5? Winner gets to choose the losers profile pic for a week.

eh...I'd give myself a C+.. and not much of a contender. My bench is horrible, and waiver wire isn't worth trying to help it. I'll hang around .500 or so.

But that bench....what happened? I generally like my team, although it begs the question, "What's a WR?". I think that Melvin Gordon pick will be the difference between solid playoff contender vs championship contender for me. My only regret is that I had Vance\Lamar queued up for that 6\7 turn but when Dede fell I couldn't grab Vance and had to settle for Andrews at TE, which means I'll probably be streaming the position.

Well with that bad a bench I won't have much decision making to do. I knew I was in a hole..so I started looking at players with late bye weeks..so First 8 weeks im rolling with Starters lol..and maybe I can be 6-2..or I could be 3-5. So we'll see

I'm happy with my team. If players like Conner, Mixon, Calvin Ridley and Tarik Cohen improve on what they did last year, I'm in good shape. I like my depth too. Probably could've gotten stronger at the TE position but I'm hoping Olsen bounces back from last year.

Since Ertz went early Round 3, this is the first draft where I didn't use a high pick on a TE. Welcomed change.
Happy with my QB in Cam (provided he is active week 1 of course), my WRs are stacked and a good enough TE in Vance where I won't have to stream if he is healthy. So really my team comes down to my RBs. Was hoping Fournette or Freeman would be there Round 3 but don't mind taking a homer pick in Josh Jacobs. James White/Latavius Murray were good values but the strength of my team hinges on the rookies: Jacobs, Miles Sanders, Hill.
Obviously I am dropping 2 among Singletary, Jackson, Williams to eventually pick up a K and Defense. I'll make that decision closer to opening night.

yaw ease up on all the offers for my man Peyton Barber. He's breaking out for 1000 yards and 8 combined TD's, I'm gonna hold onto him.

If anyone wants to trade for James White, Stefon Diggs, Miles Sanders, Golden Tate, I'm down to listen.

I'd be interested to find out what the price on Diggs is

I'd be interested to find out what the price on Diggs is
Shoot me an offer but to note, I have no interest doing Diggs for 2 lesser players.
It'd have to be an equal swap (or me trading Diggs + someone for a superior player haha)

Post by YoungThundercat on Aug 29, 2019 5:59:08 GMT -5
Yeah, Diggs might be too pricey for me. Maybe I'm shopping more in the Marvin Jones/Tyrell Williams aisle. I like my receivers, I just need more than 3 lol

In PPR season-long, Duke is the clear-cut favorite and Drake is the clear-cut least.
I see little difference between Shepard, Watkins, Cohen in all honesty - but I'd at least give the edge to Shepard to start the season with Tate suspended 4 games.

Well I got Drake & his handcuff..and Dolphins may use Drake as a trade chip to the Texans for Clowney..since Texans need a RB since they lost Miller.
So in theory, that would be good..since I own all 3.
Watkins would be one I'm not too high on..he's probably 4th option in the offense and is my 4th best WR
I'm still high on Cohen..although they say they'll cut his workload some
