My $500 draft is tomorrow. Im trying to get a top 2 pick in my kds. If not at least top 5 to get zeke, kamara, or edwards-helaire.


Not holding my breath. In three years i never am chosen early in kds. In my rotowire i was chosen 11th out of 12. Fortunately 8th spot worked out pretty well there.

Got the 4th selection which I'm pretty sure is going to mean the 4th pick, but you never know. Will know soon.

Kamara needs to end that holdout asap

Would love Kittle rd 2 but 2.21 seems a little late, this is a competitive league and I don't really see all 2nd tier RB's like Ekeler/Chubb/Drake going over him in this thing. It'll be close.

Looks like hes not holding out. Should definitely end up kamea there unless you like clyde edwards-helaire more. 4th pick is good


I got lucky and grabbed the #2 pick tonight. Saquan ends the year as the rb#1

 

[JustinCruise]

I need to pick a clear favorite in that second wr tier. I will probably have my choice to golladay, dj moore types in late round 2 unless one of the elite TEs fall


I really like golladay this year

 

[JustinCruise]

I like the idea of grabbing kittle at the end of round 2, but then you are starting a wr1 like robert woods or calvin ridley. You can go wr wr after that but then your rb2 is trash. I don't like any rbs after round 6 other than the backups with explosion potential

Sanu cut by the pats. That was a 19th round whiff

You didn't lose anything. Sanu sucks.

Just had a brutal brutal decision end of round 3 between ju ju, mike evans, dj moore


Went Moore. No idea if was the right choice. But i didn't like mike evans inconsistency last year and thats with them throwing a million times which wont happen this year. The news that packers have zero plans of resigning ju ju and jis overall just terrible play last year helped me make the dj moore choice. Everyone give ju ju a free pass for bad qb play but dj moore was awesome with kyle allen


The 4th was easy. Robert woods. Wanted him there


Both these guys should be consistent ppr machines

Looks like i can keep my avatar this season

I like Moore there, Panthers D is horrible and he crushed with Kyle Allen last year. Should be some good shootouts in that division.

Not to bring the culture wars to this thread but per Yahoo..

"Effective today, Yahoo Fantasy will begin retiring a few familiar terms from our content and games, toward the goal of maintaining an inclusive platform. You'll find that gameplay at Yahoo will not change at all; we've simply eliminated language that suggests ownership or commodification of athletes."

Says % rostered instead of % owned. Not that I give a shit, but the concept of DJ Moore being offended cause some white dude in Texas "owns him" in fantasy football is pretty comical to me.

 

[HarryCaray]

Had a draft in my old hometown league Saturday. Forgot about it, didn't study at all, haven't paid attention this offseason. Drew the 11th pick and it was a shitshow. Yahoo gave me an A draft grade but I hate my team.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Manager instead of owner
Salary cap instead of auction

$500 NFFC league draft. picked 2nd. ppr. 3rr

probably the best draft I've ever had. Fantasy pro gave it an A+ grade, projected to finish 1st. The guy projected to finish second is the same one who beat me in the championship last year. football guys gave me an A, with an 80% chance to make the playoffs

Lineup

QB: Kyler Murray
RB: Saquan Barkley
RB: Tarik Cohen
WR: DJ Moore
WR: Robert Woods
WR: Devante Parker
TE: Travis Kelce
Flex: Marvin Jones
K: Koo
DST: Eagles


bench no particular order

Minshew
Latavious Murray
Tevin Coleman
Chris thompson
Allen Lazard
Sammy Watkins
Dede westbrook
steven simms
dallas goedert



I will have to plug and play rbs with cohen, coleman, thompson unless someone emerges. With latavious Murray waiting in the wings as a potential rb1 (heard kamara having back problems).


fav pick is either kelce at the end of round 2 or parker at the end of round 5 as my wr3

missed out on daniel jones again. so my sleeper pick of year is not on either of my rosters

Went out on a limb with kyler in the 6th. Tyler Boyd was sniped one pick before and i was targeting him for my flex. I was glad it worked out that way because by the time it came back to me at the end of the 7th all the elite qbs were gone.

philly week 1 vs miami
browns week 2 TNF vs bengals.
not ideal but you know my defense strategy and the dst's went way too early. I was between dion lewis and the browns D in round 19. there just no value in drafting lewis. he's not a true handcuff. if saquan gets hurt he has a third down role. not worth holding up a bench spot

 

[JustinCruise]

Draft rankings dont mean shit, but things really kind of fell into place for this one.

 

[PatsFan1283]

Kelce goes 2.11 in a $500 FFPC league? If there weren't in a global pandemic going on, I'd need to do a few of those. Jeez...

Who were the 4-5 WR's you took after Parker? Don't really like him a ton, crushed 2nd half last year with Fitzmagic after being a bust his entire career. As we know w/ Fizmagic it usually expires at some point. Preston Williams is back and Tua could be QB sooner than later. But we'll see.

I tried to get somebody to join

I am surprised every year with the "looseness" of these $500 drafts on nffc. Always some off the wall picks and plenty of value to be found. But picking 2nd definitely helps so much this year regardless of 3rr. i thought i had a shot at kittle at 2.11 but was stunned to see kelce fall.



who went after parker?

The four taken before him were hollywood brown, gallup, hilton, aj green. The four taken after were boyd, slayton, fuller, dionte johnson . I know you like fuller this year, i'm not a fan. I was trying to get boyd in the early 6th but he was sniped one pick before me


I like parker a lot, but especially at the end of round 5

 

[JustinCruise]

fuller will be great until he gets hurt week 3
