I think Yeldon is going to be a nice pick where his ADP is at especially in PPR.

He won't be on any of my teams. Chris Ivory is the number one. And even if Chris Ivory gets hurt they have many of the targets to throw the ball to besides him. I can't see any use for him. I really don't like his running style either.

What draft pick? Had a good foundation with Julio and Freeman. Cam early is fine but if so, I would have took a flyer on a RB/WR you think will blow up. Stafford isn't needed, you're playing Cam every week period.

Assuming the players are who I think they are, how the hell did you land AB, AJ, Gurley, and Keenan Allen? Much less Aaron Rodgers in a 12 teamer. Must not be a really competitive league but nice squad.

its a keeper league so i kept AB (lost a 3rd) and gurley (lost a 5th). its actually a pretty competitive league thats why i had to reach for some guys. each team can keep up to 2 players so everyone gets bumped up about 2 rounds. i hope can take this one down, 1st place gets a G note

8th pick. I got Julio first round, Freeman second round, Watkins third round, and Cam fourth.

I got Stafford in the last round so I didn't reach; figured a solid backup QB for the bye/possible injury would be better than a RB6 or WR7.

I am never a fan of having a running back and a wide receiver in my starting lineup from the same team. I would see if you can package Devonta Freeman with someone else on your team 4 a good running back.

Had my first draft last night. 2nd pick, standard league no keepers. 8 man league

Qb: Luck
Rb: Charles
Rb: McCoy
Wr: OBJ
Wr: Alshon
Te: Fleener
Flex: Cooks
Def: Texans
K:Tucker


Bench
T Rawls
Blount
Melvin Gorden
Julian Edelman
Devante Parker
Z ertz

Overall, feel alright. Very happy about the wr core. Very worried about Te tho.
Any opinions would be appreciated.

Also, huge thanks to the dude that posted the site with the draft board and stickers. Very good quality for the price.

I would have preferred not to as well, but I had to take Julio after he fell to me at 8 and I didn't trust the durability of a lot of the other RBs who were still on the board in the second round. I'll see if there are any potential RB1s I can trade for, but I'll probably end up sticking with Freeman.

Solid team, just have to hope Charles and McCoy stay healthy.

Since it's only an 8-team league you naturally have a lot of talent on your bench, specifically at RB. If you're really worried about TE then you could always package one of your bench RBs and one of your TEs to acquire one. I wouldn't be that worried though, either Fleener or Ertz should pan out and have a good year, if not both. Your TE situation could certainly be worse.

Thank god that the Dion Lewis news came out now when my draft is in a few hours...the Pats insider on Twitter says it's an 8-10 week recovery from this surgery.
 
How early you guys think James White will go now that he's taking over the Lewis/Woodhead type of role for probably the first half of the year?
 
12 man league

I have 2nd to last pick

this is the first year I dont know what to do with my near back to back pics

I won the last 3/4 titles and lost in the finals last year so I ended up with 2nd to last pick
 
Who would you guys rather keep in a 0.5 PPR 12 man league....Gurley or Julio?

Need to know right now

Had my first draft of the year earlier today. 12 team PPR league with 1 keeper per team after the 10th round. Picked out of the 10 slot. Didn't go 100% zero-RB, but close enough.

QB - Ryan Tannehill
RB - Lamar Miller
RB - Arian Foster
WR - AJ Green
WR - Randall Cobb
TE - Martellus Bennett
FLEX - Jeremy Maclin
D/ST - Jaguars
K - Chandler Catanzaro

Bench:
DeVante Parker (WR)
Kamar Aiken (WR)
Devin Funchess (WR)
Josh Gordon (WR)
Melvin Gordon (RB)
Charles Sims (RB)
Javorius Allen (RB)
James White (RB)

Was really happy Green dropped all the way to me at 10. Was hoping Allen Robinson would come back to me at 15 but didn't get lucky. Went with Miller who I think could be the overall RB1 this year, and the only RB I would consider taking in the early rounds. Got Cobb at the backend of the 3rd, who I like to bounce back with Jordy back in the fold. Maclin after the 4th round turn was a no-brainer for me to lock up my Flex spot. Went with Foster in the 5th round. Injury risk? Yep. But he's an absolute stud when he's on the field. I was the last guy to take a TE (people were taking backups before I took my starter) and I went with the uber high upside of Martellus Bennett in the 13th. Aaron Hernandez v2, minus the murders? We'll see. Was also the last person to take a starting QB. Went with Tannehill in the 15th round. Great pass catching corps and Adam Gase calling the plays could have him in line for a huge season.

Only 25 pickups allowed, so guys were drafting backup D/STs before I took my first one. So I got stuck with the Jags :lol: :smh:. On paper they're super talented, but lack some experience and have a tough schedule to start the season. I'm sure I'll be able to grab a unit on waivers if need be.

For my bench I targeted high upside WRs and RBs. I don't carry backup TEs or QBs as they can usually be found on the waiver wire.

Parker was great after week 11 last season and I'm hoping for the Dolphins offense as a whole to take a step up with their new coaching staff. Big breakout potential. /// Aiken was great last year after Steve Smith went down, and I don't expect him to stay fully healthy this year either. I'll take the "risk" on him as my WR5. /// Camp reports have been glowing for Funchess. I fully expect him to take the #2 WR job from Ted Ginn, and possibly even outperform Kelvin Benjamin. /// I kept Josh Gordon with my 17th round pick. Low risk-ultimate reward possibility there for my WR7.

Melvin Gordon had a disastrous rookie year, but he was a high draft pick with a great college resume. He should improve in his second year in the league. I expect the Chargers to be better this year and go with a more run heavy attack. He also caught 30 passes as a rookie, a number that very well may rise as Danny Woodhead is getting old. I'll take that upside in the 7th round. /// Sims is already a PPR maven. If Doug Martin were to get injured or underperform - both are not out of the question - Sims is very capable of becoming a 3-down back, with massive RB1 upside. I'll gladly embrace that upside for my RB4 in the 8th round. /// In the muddled Ravens backfield, I'll take the guy with the highest receiving upside in Mark Trestman's offense. Allen in the 11th round could prove to be a huge bargain. /// Washington projects to start the season as the 3rd down back for the Raiders. Cheap source of receptions and a possibility of usurping the inefficient and underperforming Latavius Murray. I'll take that upside in the 12th round. /// With the news of Dion Lewis having to undergo another surgery and possibly missing 8-10 weeks, taking James White with my 15th round pick was a no brainer. The Patriots pass catching back is a valuable one. Immense upside for my RB7.

In the middle of my draft right now...12 man 0.5 PPR one keeper with the #6 pick

Julio
Lamar Miller
Edelman
Cobb

Are my picks so far
 
What's going on, not too active in here or the forums much, but hoping to change that with the season couple weeks away. Just wanted a little advice and feedback on my roster. 12 team ppr keeper league. Kept Hopkins, freeman, and miller from last season, only thing that worries me is miller going to Houston so now two of my top players are on the same team. Should I try and move miller early or see how it plays out? Thanks

Carson Palmer Qb, Ari
Devonta freeman rb, Atl
Lamar miller rb, Hou
Deandre Hopkins wr, Hou
Sammy Watkins wr, buf
Eric Ebron te, Det
Donte moncrief wr/flex Ind

Cairo santos k, Kc

Melvin Gordon rb, Sd
