Here's a team from 11 spot DaisyMind posting your 11th spot draft? I would like to compare yours to mine.
Palmer (9) Mariota (14)Mind posting your 11th spot draft? I would like to compare yours to mine.
Looks very boom or bust to me, but that isn't a bad thing. If your rbs hit and you pick the right qb most weeks you could run away with your league.Just did one from the 5th hole .... Almost picked Josh Gordon in the 7th but went for Crabtree and hoped Gordon came back in the 8th but he was drafted the very next pick in 7th.....
Thoughts? I liked a lot of the value I got in this draft (Benjamin in 11; Jordy in 2nd....I might have reached for Foster maybe one round earlier but I really wanted him)
QB: Cutler (14); Romo (15); Fitzpatrick (18)
RB: Rawls (4); Foster(5); Jeremy Hill (8); Rashad Jennings (9); Shane Vereen (16)
WR: Jordy Nelson (2); TY Hilton (3); Crabtree (7); Travis Benjamin (11); Tajae Sharpe (20)
TE: Gronk (1); Barnidge (6); Witten (10); Will Tye (12)
DEF: Denver (13); LA Rams (17)
K: Graham Gano (19)
As long as Rawls and Foster are healed and stay that way team is very solid.Just did one from the 5th hole .... Almost picked Josh Gordon in the 7th but went for Crabtree and hoped Gordon came back in the 8th but he was drafted the very next pick in 7th.....

Nicely done. I like this team a lot. And agree you got tons of value here. Hill and Jennings at 8/9 is great IMO. Both guys should offer RB2 #'s. Or better.Just did one from the 5th hole ....

Here is one I did the other night, has a lot of upside if some starting RBs get hurt and my handcuffs hit..
Stafford, Ryan
Hyde, Foster, Riddick, D. Williams, Starks, D Washington, Ferguson, K. Drake
Brown, Cooper, Allen, Gordon, Benjamin, J. Strong
Fleener, Rodgers
Vinatierri, Rams
I have one team where D. Johnson went 2.7 to me... paired him up with Gurley.. That will be a unique team.. Doesn't mean good but unique for sureParkwayWoof said:Allen AND Cooper??? are you &#*($)#(&$&$(#)$* kidding me????
Show it or it didn't happen.I have one team where D. Johnson went 2.7 to me... paired him up with Gurley.. That will be a unique team.. Doesn't mean good but unique for sure
Keenan Allen @ 2.02How does Allen fall to 2.12. Geez. Guess if you're doing 30-40 of these, you'll find some wacky drafts mixed in.
Keenan Allen @ 2.02
Had higher ranked WRs in front of him and started second guessing myself, but with Stevie J out now it may work out.
1-hole:
Tannehill (14), Fitzpatrick (17)
CJ Anderson (5), D Murray (7), Forsett (9), Henry (10), Booker (12), Crowell (13), J Allen (15)
Brown (1), DThom (2), Cooper (3), John Brown (6), TBenj (11), R Matthews (16)
DWalker (4), Bennett (8), Watson (18)
Gano (19), BUF (20)
Nice team Gildz..From the 3 hole..
QB: Cousins (12), Taylor (14)
RB: Rawls (5), Abdullah (8), Coleman (9), Henry (10), Deandre Wash (11), Michael (19)
WR: ODB (1), Watkins (3), Parker (6), Lockett (7), Perriman (15), Agholor (17)
TE: Reed (2), Walker (4), McDonald (16)
D: Cin (18)
K: Walsh (20)
Team looked familiar to me..I've got a team with a lot of the same players that was drafted 3 weeks ago..From the 3 hole..

Seems that zero WR may be the best strategy this year. In the drafts I have done (haven't done one in couple weeks) there are always at least three people who go zero RB in the first 4-5 rounds which creates unbelievable value for RBs versus second or third rate wr's in the round 3-5 period especially
Well rounded, solid club. Deep at WR. RBs after Duke are a bit of a shot in the dark. Curious, where did you get Ebron? Assuming this draft was today - after the injury news? Could be a big pick if he's ok.From the end:
Tyrod Taylor, Ryan
Miller, Duke Johnson, Coleman, Deandre Washington, West, Drake
Allen Robinson, Maclin, Cobb, Lockett, Shepard, Mitchell
Barnidge, Ebron, Brate
Gano, Washington
It's solid but where is the value you're referencing? All these guys are pretty much where their ADP's are. Rawls at 5.8 is nice now that he's activated. But he was going rd 4-5 in every draft tho also. Also would have taken Michael over Collins and way too high there for him as well. Collins is barely draftable IMO.I'll preface this by saying I really like this team, and it's the first time I've had the opportunity to draft WR with my first four picks.
The value was simply too much to pass up drafting from 1.8:
QB: Drew Brees (9.8)
RB: Thomas Rawls (5.8), Matt Jones (6.5), Ameer Abdullah (7.8), Kenneth Dixon (12.5), Alex Collins (14.8), Jalen Richard (20.8)
WR: A.J. Green (1.8), Mike Evans (2.5), Jarvis Landry (3.8), Donte Moncrief (4.5), Michael Thomas (11.8), Jalen Strong (15.8), Kenny Stills (17.8), Tajae Sharp (18.5)
TE: Antonio Gates (8.5), Zach Miller (10.5), Will Tye (13.8)
Defense: Houston (16.5)
Kicker: Chris Boswell (19.8)
Interesting to see how it pans out. If you can get production out of your receivers till Gordon comes back and he shows no signs of rust being out of the game so long it should be fine as the rest of your positions are solid.Decided to go against the grain last night.. Has a different feel but overall I like it..
Brees, Big Ben
D. Johnson, Miller, CJ Anderson, D. Lewis, J. Ferguson, J. White
Maclin, J. Gordon, M. Jones, W. Snead, B. Ellington, B. Perriman, D. Amendola
Gates, Wilford, Amaro
Gostkowski, Seattle
Should be different as everyone else keeps going no RB strategy..
Love this team. Great value in Funchess and Hightower. May want to see if you can get another TE. The Eagles went with a lot of three TE sets tonight, and indications are they may do that a lot this season. Not sure if that means Ertz sees less targets.6-hole:
Rivers (11), Tannehill (18)
Ingram (3), CJ Anderson (4), Abdullah (8), TJ Yeldon (10), Ware (16), Hightower (17)
Hopkins (1), KAllen (2), Hurns (6), John Brown (7), Torrey (9), Funchess (13), Dorsett (14)
Ertz (5), Tye (12), Donnell (20)
SEA (15), Gano (19)

I actually agree with him. Its much better to do the opposite. I talked a bit with you about this last year when I went TE, QB, WR and you thought the team sucked. Ended up top 50 and a lot of it was because I zigged while those other punks zagged. Going zero RB is all the rage currently (so very hipster) and while I do agree WR's are more consistent it still comes down to selecting the right WRs. Now that tons of people are going WR,WR,WR it allows for value in others places. I won't be going zero RB this year....thats for sure. I did so last year but Im thinking this year the forward thinkers are going to adjust and take advantage of the zero RB crowd.I disagree. Only have done 3 so far but from what I've seen and what's posted on this board, there's tons of RB value in the 6-10 range. End of the day, WR's are just a lot more consistent. And especially the Elite ones. You hit on just 1 RB in those middle rds, you're golden. I'm convinced zero-RB is the optimal strategy. Especially in a tournament format like this. Just my .02

Thing with this game is we don't know what strategy will work from year to year unless you are a psychic or have divine intervention .. I have neither so I started out drafting teams WR heavy then went to balanced teams and now am goin RB heavy.. Figured I'd cover all the bases and still be a loser..Keep thinking that with your 10 pt flexes .
In the end, you have to pick the right players regardless. Me personally, I've had a lot more success going zero RB. There are still too many questions with the rbs who are going early, to bypass elite WR's. In my mind at least.Thing with this game is we don't know what strategy will work from year to year unless you are a psychic or have divine intervention ..

Good thing I took Sterling Shepard or you'd have the entire starting offense of the Gmen.. I seriously thought about Jamaal at 3.1 but with Freeman already ended up going with Hilton.. Glad i did cause i had no idea Duke would drop to the end of 6th.. Should be a fun leagueDa Gildz said:From the 3 hole..

Nice drafting w/you Zeke. This one was a bit unconventional for me. Charles hasn't been on my radar all offseason. But at 3.3, had to take him. Sucks having to waste 2 picks on handcuffing him but what can ya do. good luck.
