Do you guys go with Odell, a RB, or another WR with pick #2 in a .5 PPR league? I'm assuming Antonio goes #1

 

I think I might take Julio #2 overall in all formats.

 

In any PPR format you can't go wrong with Odell or Julio. Personally I prefer Odell by a slight margin but I think it's a no-brainer going with either of the two at the #2 draft spot.

 

David Johnson, Todd Gurley, or AJ Green at 5 in a PPR league?

 

Green is a reach at 5 in my opinion. Johnson probably has a little more upside in PPR but Gurley isn't exactly the wrong choice there either.

 

I personally go Gurley

 

Toss up between Johnson and Gurley

 

Yeah I'm leaning Johnson. If Hopkins is still there I take him over either of those two and hope that Lamar Miller or Leveon Bell are available at 16 right?

 

Ingram for sure

 

Miller might not make it back to 16. Bell is a possibility.

I don't think I'd take Hopkins over either of those two RBs personally.

 

If you had a team that was pretty stacked at rb like bell, Charles, gurley, and a few decent flex rbs and you had the 1st pick would you consider taking a tight end like Kelce or eifert with the 1st pick instead of Elliott if tight end is a big need? Tough spot. I pick 1st and then pick again 3rd so I figure 1 of those might be gone by the time I pick again.

 

What about WRs?

 

Even in PPR?

 

I wouldn't look at someone weird if they did in PPR, but I personally wouldn't take Hopkins that early.

 

How high is too high for Zeke? Thinking about grabbing him at 5 in my keeper league with some of the other top guys already kept

 

I don't think that is too high. I fear an injury with all the hype but if he stays healthy he will be a top 5 RB

 

in a keeper league, I think thats more than fair

 

So I've never done PPR before. Were doing half ppr. Does that mean wide outs are more valuable than running backs? or not necessarily. Any advice for a newbie?

 

wideouts are probably equal to wideouts.

 

half point PPR is the best balance between the 2, IMO

it definitely gives guys that catch a high volume of passes a boost. think guys like Edelman, Landry, Golden Tate, etc.

also look for RBs that play on 3rd downs/passing situations like Woodhead

 

HA wow. Running backs haha

 

A lot of questions. I know its subjective but ill ask just for fun.

1. Biggest problem I'm having is picking a WR in the 3rd round of PPR league cause there are a lot of options I like. Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, Demarius Thomas, Amari Cooper, Sammy Watson, and Jarvis Landry. Leaning towards Cooks as the safer option, but Allen, Watson, and Evans offer higher upsides. Any input? Maybe a top 3?

2. Langford, Demarco Murray, Ryan Matthews?

3. Allen Robinson or A.J. Green?

4. Freeman, Bell, or Lamar Miller?

5. Ingram or Martin?

 

Sammy Watson is really good

 

Need some help with my roster in my dynasty league. It is a 10 team, standard scoring (non-PPR) league. We start 1QB, 1RB, 2 WR, 2 FLEX (RB/WR/TE), 1 TE, 1 D/ST, 1K.

We held our rookie draft last weekend and I drafted Michael Thomas (NO) and DeAndre Washington. The way it works is we pick up our rookies if we want them. If we don’t pick them up by the season kickoff, they are fair game on waivers for anyone.

We have 18 roster spots and I’m trying to decide if either or both of my rookie picks are worth replacing anyone on my current roster. What do you guys think?

QB: Cam Newton, Dak Prescott (picked him up on a whim because he went un-drafted & I only had Cam)
RB: Adrian Peterson, David Johnson, LeVeon Bell, De’Angelo Williams, Melvin Gordon, Jerrick McKinnon
WR: D. Hopkins, Dez Bryant, D. Moncrief, Jordan Matthews, M. Sanu, Martavis Bryant
TE: Reed, Ertz
D/ST: Bengals
K: Bailey

and no....I’ve never won the championship in this league (this is the 5th year) and that blows my mind with this lineup.

My initial thoughts are that it is tough to bring in either rookie at this point. The only potential question marks for me are Prescott and Sanu and POSSIBLY McKinnon. Thoughts on these players are:

Prescott: I know this is a complete reach grabbing him but I need a back-up QB to Cam and this guy looks sharp should Romo go down. As I am typing this though, there are probably better QBs I could grab later on if Cam goes down. The only thing that has be interested in him is that this is a dynasty league and he has looked great in preseason so far.

Sanu: Lots of people don’t like him, but my thoughts are that he is the #2 in Atlanta. He has to have a big year right? Is Michael Thomas a better option? I think it remains to be seen and it makes it hard for me to make the switch.

McKinnon: I initially dropped him for Prescott, but got him back by dropping Danny Woodhead (hoping Gordon actually pans out and I don’t have to rely on a 32 year old running back in a dynasty league). I would like to keep him as AP’s handcuff and presumptive replacement at some point.

I think Thomas and Washington will both be good dynasty players down the line I just don’t know if they are worth the roster spots right now.

Thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks!

 

1) In PPR Allen is projected to get like 100 receptions. I’m not sure where that projection is coming from, but something to consider. Cooks should be okay, but I’m not huge on him. Landry gets a ton of targets as well. Obviously Demarius Thomas is a stud, but the QB questions in Denver have me worried. Out of that list my top 3 would probably be 1) Allen, 2) Cooks, 3) Landry (then D. Thomas)

2) Ugh hate them all. D Murray is probably the safest.

3) Allen Robinson will have less catches but maybe just as many yards and TD’s. It’s a tough call. AJ Green has a little bit of an injury history and less help WR corps wise so I like A Rob slightly more.

4) Which Bell? Leveon? If so, I like Bell a lot but the suspension, injury history, and apparent substance issues make me lean Miller

5) Ingram.
