    Alright, today's the day and I'm still undecided on who to pick at 4th. It's assumed that Brown, Julio, and ODB are going top three. AJ Green, Gurley, Peterson, Hopkins, or other?

    EDIT: also should add that it's PPR

    When it comes to "hype" players you just have to go with your gut and roll the dice sometimes. Because if you never take the risk you miss out on good players but if you only listen to the buzz players you're gonna get burnt. Personally if I had the 4th I would try to trade back a few picks and get a better third or fourth rounder. But I'm not a huge David Johnson believer yet

    That said, he will still be pretty involved in the passing game I think as far as ppr goes

    I know even mentioning a TD-only league is punishable by death around here but if anyone knows where I can get some rankings for that format I'd appreciate

    Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Prestigious

    PPR, need to pick two to start:
    Desean Jackson
    Jeremy Langford
    Allen Hurns
    Christine Michael
    Julian Edelman
    Michael Thomas

    Langford and Edelman.

    I've been going back and forth on Edelman/Jackson. I'm a little worried about Garoppolo in his first week.

    I wouldn't be too worried about Edelman since he operates in the slot. Shouldn't be too difficult for Garoppolo to hit him. Then again, I'm only speaking in theory, I haven't kept up with any Garoppolo stats during the preseason.

    Am I crazy for playing Maclin and G Tate over Demaryius? Non ppr

    “The greatest teacher, failure is”

    .5 ppr. Moncrief against Detroit or Marvin Jones against Colts?

    Langford vs. Texans or Jeremy Hill vs. Jets?

    The Greatest Escapegoat

    Alright, so yesterday at the last minute my "friends" moved our draft time up by 2 hours. So I got auto-drafted.

    Not a bad haul overall especially at WR, but it's a 2 QB system and I got fucked. Eli Manning and Carson fucking Wentz. No 3rd QB.

    So I need a 3rd QB for my bench at least. Waiver options are thin: Sam Bradford (not starting this week anyway but probably the best option unfortunately), Case Keenum, and Shaun Hill (won't be starting long anyway). That's it as far as players who start.

    I need to dump someone for Bradford, but I don't know who. Auto-draft got me Eddie Lacy, and then also James Starks, so I think I need to keep him as a handcuff for Lacy. That leaves on my bench: Desean Jackson (inconsistent, high upside), Tyler Eiffert (injured, but a top-6 TE last year), Coby Fleener (high upside this year with Brees, and a darling of several Fantasy writers I follow), Emmanuel Sanders (not really an option despite DEN's QB situation--the only reason he's on my bench is because I'm starting Antonio Brown and Brandon Marshall with Spencer Ware as my Flex), or Keenan Allen.

    So...Starks, Jackson, Eiffert, Fleener, Sanders, or Allen for Bradford? Or just gamble with Wentz until I can make a trade or one of my starters gets hurt?

    Waivers open up in less than 4 hours. Any help?

    Lets Go. Prestigious

    I would personally drop Eifert for Bradford

    Eifert is a decent player but he is injured and who knows for how long. He isn't going to sustain the TD rate he had last year. I like Fleener a lot more than him for this year.

    Elite Supporter

    12-team, .5ppr, 3WR/2RB/TE/Flex

    QB: Palmer, Tannehill
    RB: Ingram, Hill, Stewart, Michael, Deandre Washington, Spiller
    WR: Hopkins, Cooper, DJax, Diggs, Pryor
    TE: Gates, Ebron
    K - Tucker
    Def - Carolina

    I like my starting lineup, and almost all my byes are Week 9, so I should be strong midseason. But definitely need to find some WR depth in this 3WR league

    honestly, this year, drafting at like 6-8 of 10 SUCKS. At least at 10 you get the wraparound. You can walk with 2 RB1s or 2WR1's at the start

    the last three years i have either drafted at 1st or 10th, but yeah i hope one of the RBs falls out of the top 9 maybe

    okay finished my draft, advice or tweaking issues would be accepted

    2 QB, .5 PPR 2 WR/ 2 RB 1 FLEX

    QB - Big Ben, Dalton, Mariota
    RB - Bell, Charles, Latavius Murray, Yeldon, Ware, DeAndre Washington
    WR - DeAndre Hopkins, Cobb, Michael Floyd, Vince Jackson, Tajae Sharpe
    TE - Eifert
    D - Seahawks
    K - Gano

    obviously have to find a TE replacement for Eifert, but im just debating who to drop
