For your first draft it isn't terrible. You didn't get any boom or bust rbs but you got 2 under appreciated backs that you know what you get. IMO you should have got a boom or bust rb and a solid consistent rb instead of 2 consistent backs Your wrs is the opposite, all the depth is boom or bust. Although I like the players chosen I would have grabbed one solid contributor in the wr core outside your top 2. Very good te get and your qbs should be plenty serviceable. I'm really high on aj green this year, especially for ppr just by a increased targets perspective. He is going to get a lot of looks his way this year. I also like amari and it seems you handcuffed him with Carr which could pay off if they continue to improve together. The rest of your starters are decent but I don't care for your bench and depth.
I had a crisis happen 10 minutes before my draft so I wasn't able to be fully dialed in and actually got 2 auto draft selections ( the 2 picks I despise). 10 team standard. QB - Luck RB - Gurley RB - Ingram WR - Allen Robinson WR - Brandon Cooks TE - Gates (auto drafted ) Flex - Ryan Mathews (auto drafted ) Def - Minnesota Vikings K - Mason Crosby Bench RB - Ameer Abdullah RB - Derrick Henry WR - Kelvin Benjamin WR - Allen Hurns WR - Markus Wheaton TE - Jared Cook Thoughts?
I'm bullish on Ryan Mathews this year with tempered expectations. Now with a rookie QB starting they will need to rely on the run game. The only big question mark with Mathews is health. If he stays healthy I don't see any reason why he doesn't end up a top 15 back. I'm counting on him to produce solid RB2 numbers.
Thanks for the critique. I was thinking I need to improve my WRs. Would it make more sense to attempt a trade (targeting a team with weak RBs) or cutting a WR and signing a FA (available WRs: Mike Wallace, Rishard Mathews, Sammie Coates, Ted Ginn Jr, Anquan Boldin, Tyler Boyd, Beshard Perriman)? Probably dumb question... haven't done a FF (via Yahoo) so don't know how trades and FA signings work. All advice much appreciated.
^^^ I would never draft a QB in the first 6 rounds of a 12 team league. The extra 2-3 points you'll get from Rodgers over a late-round QB isn't worth it. Your entire season rests on if David Johnson is a beast and doesn't get hurt or suck.
Someone dropped Bortles in my 12 team PPR. I'm tempted to grab him so I can move Big Ben for a flex. With that said, if it's one of those 6pt passing TD +3 or more pts for 300 yards passing then QB's are more important. I've seen teams get buried by QB's using those settings.
Yeah I wasn't too high on him because I didn't trust Philly this year offensively, but with the Bradford trade I at least have hope that they will workhorse him to protect wentz. So Im not nearly as upset at the pick anymore ( draft was before the trade).
12 team PPR, snake draft. I picked #8. QB: Jameis Winston RB1: Jamaal Charles RB2: Latavius Murray WR1: DeAndre Hopkins WR2: Jordy Nelson WR3: Larry Fitzgerald TE: Dwayne Allen FLEX: Allen Hurns D/ST: Eagles K: Mason Crosby Bench: Stefon Diggs Duke Johnson Jr DeAndre Washington Spencer Ware (trying to decide whether to start him or Duke week 1) Tajae Sharpe Josh Gordon Vance McDonald Thoughts? Advice?
Considering you punted TE (and QB somewhat?), that team looks weak to me (I do like Allen though). Bogged down by 2 high risk guys in the first 3 rounds. Nelson could finish as a top 8 WR though - I don't hate that pick in a vacuum. But when you pair it with a player like Charles...
Its a high upside squad, which I like, but that comes with a lot of risk. But, it is definitely a team with championship potential should some sleepers come through and it stays relatively healthy.
Curious for feedback on my draft. 10 team league, PPR, 4 point TD for QB, 6 for everyone else. I went WR, WR, WR to start for the first time ever. <spoiler. <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/RzQQS"><a href="//imgur.com/RzQQS"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </spoiler>
