    I think I'd take Bell over Hopkins.

    Got 12th pick this year in a 12 man league. Looking at Dez-Jordy-AJ/Ingram with my 1st and 2nd pick

    In a point-per-reception league Hopkins could be fantastic this year. As far as keeping Antonio Brown and Julio Jones. Please keep them you have to top four pics in your lineup

    If Allen Robinson is available he'd be in the discussion also. I'm a little nervous with AJ right now. Not to say he is going to do bad but in ththfew drafts I have done already I steered off of him. If Romo can stay healthy which is a big if this could be very nice this year

    In my keeper league I have both Deandre Hopkins and Allen Robinson. But the way the rules are set, I can only keep one of them :x. If I keep Hopkins I'd lose my 4th round pick, for Robinson I'd lose my 7th rounder (that's where I drafted them last year). Hopkins would be ineligible to be kept next year, but Robinson would slot up to a 5th rounder in 2017.

    I'm thinking about going with Robinson off of the value for this year, as well as one more year of keeper eligibility. Anyone think otherwise?

    I would keep Hopkins. Worry about winning this year. You can always readjust next year. Also the fact that you have a first round pick in Hopkins and still have another first-round pick is very nice

    Yeah that's true. Gonna be a tough decision :lol:. I'm most likely gonna keep Brandin Cooks for my other keeper. I'll lose my 9th rounder for him.

    I feel the same way as you do regarding Dez. He'll have a huge year if he and Romo can stay healthy. Really hoping I can grab him in the second round (it'll be 15th pick since I'm in the 5 slot). It's a 2QB PPR league so I can definitely see him lasting until then if the usual amount of QBs go in the first 2 rounds. Hopkins/Dez/Cooks would be a formidable trio of WRs.

    Cooks could be a very valuable receiver. The Saints defense is horrible. cooks could be a very valuable receiver. The Saints defense is horrible. They should have to throw the ball a lot this year. The second half of the year last year was very good for Cooks

    Speaking of the Saints, I feel like Drew Brees is undervauled.

    In 12 and 14 team leagues quarterbacks are not going off the board in the first two rounds. There are so many quarterbacks out there that will get you good points that you can wait on a quarterback. Go to the nffc website and look at their ADP and you will get a good sense on where players are going in the draft

    QBs are cool to take I'd say in Round 4 and after.

    i'm leaning towards going in win now mode and keeping brown and jones but the chance to keep gurley for the next 2 years and only losing a 5th rounder is intriguing. there's a lot of time left for me to decide so we'll see...

    Yeah his weapons this year are great. I'm targeting him in my 2QB league.


    Yep, coming off of two straight of his most efficient seasons, like Brees his weapons have only gotten better. I had both of them last year in my 2QB league and I definitely wouldn't mind having them again this season :lol:.

    This. Every year. I'm gonna be the last person to draft a QB in almost every league. I'm even thinking about waiting a little longer on QB in my 2QB and Superflex leagues. Using last year as an example, why waste an early round pick on a QB when you can grab guys like Bortles, Cousins, Fitzpatrick, Carr, Tyrod, Dalton super late in the draft or even off of waivers? Even the 7th round is too early to grab a QB. You'll be far better off grabbing a WR or RB with upside.

    I have the 11th overall pick in my 12 team league. I anticipate seeing Dez Bryant, A.J. Green, Allen Robinson, Alshon Jeffery, Jordy Nelson, Devonta Freeman, Lamar Miller, Jamaal Charles and Doug Martin.

    I feel like most people are saying that this year's WR class is deep, so would it be wise to grab Lamar Miller, Doug Martin or Devonta Freeman with that swing pick in the 2nd round? Also, with those options at WR, am I pretty much choosing between Dez & A.J.?

    As of this very second I would take Dez Bryant then follow it up with Allen Robinson

    I'm definitely going to keep my eye on Hurns (just like last season) and Robinson. If I could snag either I'd be happy.

    Once or twice a week I am going to put a name out there and we can respond sleeper or bust. First name I'm going to throw out there is Tyler Lockett. I think he has plenty of upside and can serve as a wide receiver 2 or 3. I would call him a very live sleeper. In my 12 or 14 team leagues he has been going in the end of the sixth round or the beginning of the 7th.

    I like the "live" label next to sleeper. He's going to get overlooked b/c of other names, but I'd expect Russ and Seattle to involve him more with Marshawn gone for good.

    I love Lockett this year. Hoping his ADP stays right where it's at.

    As a huge Hawks fan I could definitely see this wit how 2nd half went last year. Also I expect them to take a cautious approach with Rawls so they may air it out just as much and try not to give him such a heavy load. I'm still also not sold on Baldwin being a true #1 WR so Lockett has a high ceiling imo
