As a lifelong, long suffering Commanders/Redskins fan, this is a little funny to me. The only thing that have kept my Cowboy friends from completely losing it after this weekend, was the hope that Bill B. was already house shopping in the Dallas metro area.

But last year seemed like Bijan & Gibbs were getting 1st round hype in the NFL draft mocks (not just fantasy). I’m not seeing any RB’s with that draft grade this year yet.

Curious to see if any rookie RB’s are worth a pick in the first 7-8 rounds of redraft. I’m sure at least 5-6 WR’s will…looks like a pretty good group this year.

Have been reading up on the Commanders options, and assuming Harbaugh doesn’t happen, I’m intrigued by the Lions OC (Johnson) and Ravens DC (MacDonald). Would prefer a young candidate.

In my one non-PPR league, Evans was #3.

Rivera gone.

In one of my leagues we keep 5, and I’m thinking about Spears being one of my 5 if Henry moves on. Four definites are Jefferson, R. White, J. Allen & Aiyuk. Would probably come down to Kelce, Javonte Williams, Cooper or Spears for the last spot.

My gut is telling me Henry has one more productive season (1100-1200 yards? 7-8 TD’s?) left in the tank, before a Dalvin Cook-type drop off in 2025. That said, there are quite a few young RB’s I’d take ahead of him in redraft in 2024.

No idea where to slot Diggs or Kelce. If they’re getting drafted in the first 2-3 rounds, it’s off of reputation…not productivity the second half of the season.

Very close to my 1st round, only difference was I’m a little higher on Chase (#3) and basically have Taylor & St. Brown swapped. Feel like Chubb is high given his age and injury. I also am a big R. Rice fan and looking at him starting mid/low 3rd round.

Normally I would agree, but Q. Johnson makes me hesitant to put too much stock in the QB. After Mike Williams went down, I thought Johnson would be the best rookie WR in 2023 in large part because of Herbert and playing opposite Allen, but I missed big time on that one.

FU to my luck in general. Thought I had an easy ride to the finals when I saw my opponent had G. Davis in his WR2, and Shaheed & Pickens in his FLX spots. Either I have the crappiest luck ever or my opponent owns a Time Machine he’s not telling anyone about. Actually the truth is he has K. Allen & Pittman and would have never started 2 of the guys he did under normal circumstances.

Ended up with an ok night. Shaheed hurt me more than expected, but do have K. Williams & Olave.

I’ve had the worst luck this year playing random JAG’s who way overperform. Tonight I’m playing Shaheed. When I lose it’s not because CMC or Tyreek go for 50 against me. It’s because they play about how they should, but the last Flex guy goes for 30.

This is a good point, and I think what may have bit me in a couple of leagues. For instance, Goedert is a good TE, but I’d love to have LaPorta instead. Or drafting Cooper or Hopkins when I could have waited another round or two and gotten Moore or Aiyuk instead.

While you can’t ignore the 28 year old rule with regards to RB’s, it’s not gospel either. Henry has performed past 28. CMac is having arguably his best year at 27, and not slowing down. Kamara has looked good this year. A lot do start to wear down, but not all.

Kyren Williams off waivers in 2 leagues.

That’s kind of what I was thinking. Try and package him with one of the other guys I’m debating about and see if I can get another fringe RB1 or WR1.

Yeah, it’s going to be a tough call in one of my keeper leagues where we keep 5. My definite keepers going into next year will be J. Allen, J. Jefferson, Aiyuk & R. White. The decision I’ll have is whether to ride with Kelce one more year over guys like Cooper or J. Reed.

He’s still probably be a top 3-4 TE going into next year, but definitely not top 10 overall in redraft like he was this year. No more WR1-type production it would appear. I’d guess his ADP would be closer to the high 30’s, low 40’s overall. Still a weapon but behind guys like Hockenson & LaPorta.

In one of my dynasty leagues I traded him & Kincaid for Aiyuk about 2 weeks ago. Looking like if I had kept Rice, I would have won this weekend (even with a goose egg from Kincaid). That one stings.

Need Hurts/Brown/Walker to score less than 41 in PPR. So chances aren’t good. Unless Hurts decides after two straight 3-and-outs that he should take the night off after all.

Can we now say Rice has overtaken Kelce as the top receiving option in KC? Kelce having a very average day hurt me in 2 playoffs.

They’re running the offense around James Cook. Signed, Josh Allen owner who has watched him have 3 sub par games over the same period.

I’m playing Adams, Meyers & the Raiders D in the same league. I’d like to think the Raiders will stop throwing at some point, but guess not. I have Ekeler. It’s been a fun night. At least they’re different leagues.
