Thanks.

What do you guys think will end up happening with Peterson if Ingram stays healthy?

Im guessing he will have a couple of good games when Ingram can't get it going, but not much more than that.

View Quote

I don't think anybody really knows but he's got big upside. He's worth drafting just for that though.

Did a mock draft just now

Eli manning
AJ Green
D. Thomas
Fournette
C.J. Anderson
Fiedorowicz
AP
Zay Jones
Davante Parker
Sterling Shepard
Rex Burkhead
Smallwood
J. Conner

Whatever D and K I picked

Thoughts on this? Be gentle, I trigger easily

Sugar coating? Not too terrible bad. Honesty? That is terrible, that draft. CJ Anderson stinks and Fournette has the same hurt foot that bothered him in college. You only have one really good player in Green. Though your later round picks are pretty decent. I'm doing some mocks tonite so I'll try to post one of mine for you to get some revenge.

That was a reach for Fournette at the beginning/middle of round 2. Guessing AP and Thomas were the next two? Waaaay too many questions in the top of your draft for me.

Getting better by attrition/mockery prior to the actual draft works for me, because I don't keep up. Was just kidding about the triggered part.

Thanks for the input guys.

I love watching Sheperd but I'd be weary of him behind Beckham and Marshall. He's a blast to watch and he may even be in a great situation but I'm def not drafting him.

Ok guys help a newb do better this season. I've played in my friends yahoo fantasy for the past few years. Always had the highest rated drafts, but end up dead last after the majority of the season. The players I use never live up to expectations.

I'm about to say fuck it and just do auto draft this year. Any tips? What to draft first or what to leave for last?

Sounds like your draft strategy isn't the issue. It's a marathon, you have to stay involved for the duration. Pay more attention down the road, be aggressive with your weekly moves. Not just for your own team, you have to look at what your opponent is looking for that week, too. If they're star tight end is on a bye that week, you need to look at taking quality options off the board from him. Etc etc

Run a lot of mock drafts. Auto draft does give a decent team but you're better off doing yourself.

As stated the key is being an active manager. Always making waiver moves every week and making your team better. The draft is only one piece of winning. Also don't trust draft grades. The experienced guys are looking for breakout or high upside players in the bench rounds. Those players have been mentioned in this thread.

Fantasypros.com is a good site for rankings. You can sort them however you want. If you get a stud RB always draft his handcuff but late.

For drafting you have to adjust to what others are doing. Don't take a QB before round 6-8. I wait and pick up rivers or Carr. Load up on high upside RB and WR. I stream dst and kickers and pick them last.

Run a bunch of mock drafts live to see what others are doing. If you can find value that's where you win. Rounds 4-8 are the most important. The first 3 are easy. Best player on the board.

Draft at least one lottery ticket rookie late. If he doesn't pan out he gets dropped for your hot waiver pickup week 3.

Dammit shut up about him! I've drafted him the last 2 years because of his athleticism. Just never panned out. I want him late.

What are thoughts on cooper cupp? Seems he's cooled somewhat with Watkins add. What sleeper rb should I target later? Rob Kelly looked good and they were feeding him.

Could hurt, could win you the big prize. I've drafted players with a 4 week suspension. It hurts, but if you make it through you're good.

First mock draft. Not very good, pretty crappy actually but I have depth. I took Brown over Bell at pick 2 for injury concerns. I'm too loaded on single teams so that's why you do mock drafts. Luck is trade bait.

1. Antonio Brown (Pit - WR)
2. Christian McCaffrey (Car - RB)
3. Lamar Miller (Hou - RB)
4. Alshon Jeffery (Phi - WR)
5. Martavis Bryant (Pit - WR)
6. Matt Ryan (Atl - QB)
7. Mark Ingram (NO - RB)
8. Andrew Luck (Ind - QB)
9. Adrian Peterson (NO - RB)
10. DeVante Parker (Mia - WR)
11. Donte Moncrief (Ind - WR)
12. Jack Doyle (Ind - TE)
13. Cooper Kupp (LAR - WR)
14. New York (NYG - DEF)
15. Stephen Hauschka (Buf - K)

Yes I did. Kinda playing around. That's why you do mock drats. That was high risk high reward draft.

Weak at rb QB is trade bait I give it a C grade. Just ok. My main 14 man league loves to draft 2 QB.

I've been thinking of putting one together for GD again like I did last year, think we had everyone pay up. I'm running one in my HTF so I may can do two again this year.

I may reach out to people who played last year and see if they want to go again this year.

First 9 picks - minimum - RB/WR

QB is silly deep and TE doesn't matter.

Depending on the league, you can sometimes go 11 rounds of best available RB/WR, then QB/TE/DST/K in the last 4 rounds and end up with a great team.

Here's my squad in draft order after today's 11 man .5 PPR draft from the #1 slot:

David Johnson
Amari Cooper
Dez Bryant
Dalvin Cook
Alshon Jefferey
Jamison Crowder
Adrian Peterson (shocked he made it this far, but a lot of guys were down on his prospects this year)
Derrick Henry
Charles Sims
Zay Jones
Jameis Winston (homer pick)
Evan Engram (Ugh, went with the upside vs Ebron's pedestrian ass)
Houston
Vinatieri

I was happy with it. Missed out on Hunter Henry by a slot to make it a spectacular draft, IMO.

I like McCoy and Ajayi both a lot this year. I have been going with McCoy over Ajayi simply because the Bills have no other option but to get McCoy 20-25 touches a game. I don't think anyone would fault you for taking Ajayi though. If you draft McCoy make sure you get Jonathan Williams as an insurance policy. He is the clear #2. He can usually be had after the 9th round.

View Quote

Bills being on tank mode is exactly why McCoy is a good option. They want to run the ball and not make big plays. McCoy is on his 8th season I believe and probably won't be playing too many more years. The Bills won't care if they wear him out. In Fantasy Football, touches is good. McCoy will get plenty of touches.
