Suave Fedora posted:Not bad at all for phone drafting. I'd sit on Pitta/Ertz too to see who floats to the top. Yeah, I'm trying to do a bit of post mortem on the draft since I couldn't track it very well while things were happening. All I knew is that I lost out on a bunch of guys I wanted. Round 6, the 3 picks in front of me were Stafford, Cam (taken by the Rodgers owner), and Luck, I had all 3 queued up. Brady was also taken earlier in round 6. Round 8 was Ryan, RG3, Foles, and Romo in front of me. So basically I ran out of QB options fast. Not that I really dislike Cutler or anything but I would have liked to have paired him with a somewhat reliable backup at least.

Suave Fedora posted:TE may be unsettled for you. Reed has the skillset to excel and is in a friendly offense, but he carries more risk than just about any other TE aside from Gronk as he is one concussion away from runny egg brains. Hold onto L. Green as long as you can afford to. Otherwise a solid draft top to bottom. I like Stacy in std scoring. Would you consider receiving Gronk in exchange for Reed and Patterson? My team for reference: 1. (3) Adrian Peterson (Min - RB) 2. (18) Jordy Nelson (GB - WR) 3. (23) Zac Stacy (StL - RB) 4. (38) Roddy White (Atl - WR) 5. (43) Cordarrelle Patterson (Min - WR) 6.

My first real draft ever. ESPN standard scoring (4PTD, 0PPR), 12 player. Picked 3rd in the snake. (3) Jamaal Charles RB (22) Giovani Bernard RB (27) Antonio Brown WR (46) Ryan Mathews RB (51) Tom Brady QB (70) Torrey Smith WR (75) Cordarrelle Patterson WR (94) Jordan Reed TE (99) Matt Ryan QB (118) Knowshon Moreno RB (123) Martellus Bennett TE (142) Jarrett Boykin WR (147) Bengals D/ST D/ST (166) Steve Johnson WR (171) Jordan Todman RB (190) Robbie Gould K Brady was a miss-click I didn't mean to grab him that early. I wasn't sure what to do with my later picks (123 and on). I grabbed D/ST when I did following beer's "take D/ST after 6-8 are gone" rule. Super early Brady aside, I think I did alright. Thinking my starter QB will be Ryan. Trying to decide between Patterson and Smith for second WR slot. ESPN is saying Reed has a better match up than Bennett week 1, how much should I value those rankings?

Even if he does, that means you may possibly start L. Green if Gronk doesn't suit up Week 1. That's a double risk because Antonio Gates may get the meaningful reps in the early part of the season.

It's my first season doing fantasy football and I have put together a league of friends, most of whom are in their first league as well. It's a 6-man 1PPR league. I picked up the FootballGuys Draft Dominator app and have been running a bunch of mock drafts. I'm drafting 3rd, so I'm pretty sure that rules out Jamaal Charles. So far, I think my favourite strategy is to pass on Manning, Rodgers, and Brees and instead pick RBs, WRs, and Gronk or Julius Thomas with my first few picks, then pick up Luck and Stafford with back to back picks. Is this a decent strategy or am I out to lunch? Of course, with everyone being so new, I have no idea what kind of draft it's going to turn out to be.

In a 1 PPR at #3 you'll probably get one of Charles, McCoy, or Forte, which is good. Have you looked at Beersheets? I'm sure there's a 1 PPR, 6 team league tab in there. If there isn't, you can ask him to make one for you.

One of the things I've been debating with in my mock drafts is whether I should take Calvin Johnson with my #3 pick when/if he shows up instead of McCoy or Forte. I would take Charles over Calvin Johnson, but Charles pretty much always gets drafted 1st or 2nd. I've looked at Beersheets, but I don't completely understand everything in it. Are Beersheets better than any other draft list available?

To be honest with you, six people is probably just too few for a standard fantasy league- every team is going to be stacked, and then you're basically just playing boring injury roulette. Have you thought about just doing a FanDuel league? That's where each week everyone gets a $100 budget, and can "draft" a roster of anybody in the NFL (even players other owners are also using that week) by allocating some of their budget to that players' given cost that week (so, Adrian Peterson might be worth $35 the week he's playing against Dallas, and only $20 when he plays the Seahawks). It's pretty fun, and also teaches you some of the basics of fantasy football, like judging matchups and assessing breakout candidates, but it more conducive to smaller leagues. Then, if you guys all have fun you can try to scare up four more players for a normal H2H league next year.

Yeah, I've heard that about 6-man leagues. Ideally I would like to get a couple more people, but time is running out. I think we're just going to stick with a standard league for our first season so everyone can get their feet wet. To be honest, I'm not sure how active everyone is actually going to be as a couple of the people don't even watch football. Next season, I believe, will be a better overall league as we should be able to get a couple more people to join.

^ I am liking that team! I like the Gio/Alfred combo a lot. 1st mock of the season, curious what you guys think. 7th out of 12. 1. D. Thomas 2. J. Jones 3. J. Thomas 4. F. Gore 5. M. Stafford 6. G. Tate 7. S. Jackson 8. M. Ryan 9. J. Gordon 10. M. Ingram 11. A. Boldin 12. J. Boykin 13. B. Brown After that I put it on auto because I did not care, although I did get Gates in the 15th. So what do you think? Gore and Jackson as my starting RB's isn't ideal, I could have waited til round 8 for my starting QB, but Stafford at 5 seemed like a steal and Ryan at 8 was too good to pass up as a backup/trade bait.

You could always open it up and invite your friend's friends, even if they're out of town it's easy enough to get people involved for drafts with Skype. Before I got into FF as much as I am now, I was in a few leagues full of people I didn't even know save for my roommate at the time; it happens pretty frequently! It's better to have a full league of players (10 would be ideal but 8 is probably serviceable) than for everyone to be overpowered like Franks is saying

I feel like Gore is a solid work horse and can count on him, Jackson meeeeeeeeh not so much. Out of curiosity, who would you have targeted as a younger back? Also, I am PPR. e: I felt like Ingram and Brown may be good value picks, I was trying to go the younger/upside back with those two picks. I was also assuming Spiller will be hurt/traded at some point and I heard Brown was doing really well.

Also I just said it earlier up in the thread but never draft a guy with the intention of trading him. It never works. I think I would have taken the best RB available in round 5 (Stafford there isn't a "steal", its just about right) and just sat with Matt Ryan in the 8th, which is also not really some huge bargain. I got him in the 10th in a 10 team draft the other day, its about right.

Yeah, I went into it wanting to see how it would look to go receiver heavy in the beginning. Gore and Jackson is no good. I only said Stafford was a steal because all the other elite QBs went in the 2nd, and I'd put him right up there so I thought he was great value in the 5th, but yeah, I could have waited until the 8th + and still gotten Ryan.

If Stafford falls to the 5th or 6th in a 12+ team league I would definitely jump on him. I'm waiting until the back end of the 6th to pick up a QB. Back 6th/front 7th seems to be where you can snipe the best remaining value. Best case scenario, a guy like Ryan or even sometimes Foles/Newton has fallen, worst case Romo and Cutler are still on the board. Emergency very worst case, everyone piles into QBs before you do, and you're stuck with a perfectly adequate guy like Rivers in a few rounds (plus the rest of your roster is way better than theirs, because you scooped up somebody they passed on). Shath Hole posted:Are we trusting Sankey and Miller at this point? I did have my eye on Mathews and Tate, almost drafting Mathews on two different occasions. I would love him if Woodhead weren't there. If I am stuck at RB in that 5th round, the only guy I trust to give anchor production is Tate, and you'd better handcuff him. I think I'd rather reach for Jeremy Hill a few rounds early, his ADP is still completely detatched from the likely reality of his production.

In the 6th, it's likely you've already got your starters at the other main positions (or a good TE in place of a RB/WR), If you can land a guy who'll likely be in the top-5, with top-3 potential, I don't see why you wouldn't. It really depends who else has fallen, but Stafford in the 6th is actually a very good value, yes.

Just finished this draft on Yahoo for a league I got invited to this week. 12 team - 1 PPR - 1 QB / 3 WR / 2 RB / 1 FLEX / K / DEF - $30 buy in. First time I'm playing on Yahoo, first time with PPR, and first time for money. I was spot 6 out of 12. (6) Calvin Johnson (19) Andre Ellington (30) Randall Cobb (43) Rashad Jennings (54) Joique Bell (67) Torrey Smith (78) Jay Cutler (91) Emmanuel Sanders (102) Zach Ertz (115) Maurice Jones-Drew (126) Jordan Matthews (139) Kenny Stills (150) Mark Ingram (163) Andrew Hawkins (174) New England DEF (187) Nick Novak QB: Jay Cutler RB: Andre Ellington, Rashad Jennings, Joique Bell, Maurice Jones-Drew, Mark Ingram WR: Calvin Johnson, Randall Cobb, Torrey Smith, Emmanuel Sanders, Jordan Matthews, Kenny Stills, Andrew Hawkins TE: Zach Ertz DEF: New England K: Nick Novak Didn't take a backup QB or TE but I figure it wasn't a huge deal as long as Cutler plays like he should this year. There were like 3-4 guys on autodraft which helped a lot. I'm pleased with it.
