Challenger 72 Posted October 26, 2017 I honestly cant think of any RB1 or WR1... Am I missing something or this year has just been that average? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted October 26, 2017 Chris Thompson or maybe Aaron Jones. It's been for WR's though due to injuries, maybe Agholor. A guy in my league picked up Ertz (TE are used in the WR slot in our league). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oriole8159 86 Posted October 26, 2017 it's definitely been average. good year for TEs and QBs though, and I think Jax D may go down at the end of the year as the best FA pickup of all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted October 26, 2017 QBs and TEs are great! Too bad we can only play one. Ertz is pretty highly drafted. Love Jones but still have to wait and see. If a third down back is the best WW pickup so far, thats very meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe its just part of the new NFL, all about that catching pass backs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big reason why I'm glad I went back to standard scoring and away from PPR. Too many pass catching specialists being overrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oriole8159 86 Posted October 26, 2017 Alex Smith has basicly put up the numbers I was hoping from big ben.. Wentz and Watson both waiver wire guys in a lot of leagues too Dak was a later round guy in a lot of leagues too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 1,013 Posted October 26, 2017 Asj? He was undrafted in both my leagues. Suspended the first 2 games. New qb on a bad team. Looks to be a top 5 te based on his redzone looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,489 Posted October 26, 2017 I agree with the OP. Plus this is my first 14 teamer and he's even tougher. But even without that many teams it's been a very interesting ff season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pee-diddy 27 Posted October 26, 2017 I think that player I still forthcoming. Could be a RB like Mack or Foreman or A Jones. If nothing major happens (injuries to current starting RBs), I'd say it'll be a QB such as Watson or in some leagues Wentz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobby heenan 60 Posted October 26, 2017 12 team high stakes with 17 player open rosters...lot of hoarding/stashing going so the only guys off the top of my head i can think of that were true free agents are watson, alex smith, aaron jones and ASF and like diddy said...that guy could still be forthcoming....maybe a guy like stills or juju who were probably plucked a week or two ago could emerge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,489 Posted October 26, 2017 Right now I would say A Jones would be that player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Neil 63 Posted October 27, 2017 Aaron Jones and Cameron Brate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the spanker 28 Posted October 27, 2017 For me it's been Watson and Engram by far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Chewy 98 Posted October 27, 2017 Watson easily. One of the worst teams in our league picked him up several weeks back and he's suddenly a relevant team again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,489 Posted October 27, 2017 Yea but the OP said Rbs and WRs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,489 Posted October 27, 2017 Engram was drafted in my league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huskyhater75 242 Posted October 27, 2017 I picked up D Watson in the 3rd week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedzoneMonster 102 Posted October 27, 2017 McKinnon should be on this list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,489 Posted October 27, 2017 McKinnon is a very good pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oriole8159 86 Posted October 27, 2017 I'll say it again, I really think the defenses are the best picks here. Jax has scored 28, -1, 12, 15, 28, 5, 20...and has a very friendly schedule moving forward. Balt has scored 25, 17, -4, 3, 12, 20 2, 29. Those numbers are crazy, and give the owner such an advantage week to week. As a Jax owner myself, I really think they will be one of the plays that will be represented on most championship teams when the season is all over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 27, 2017 I'll toss in Will Fuller as no WRs have been mentioned (nor should they be). Small sample size but he's gotten me through some tough weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,489 Posted October 27, 2017 Fuller is another good pick. And at wr Aghlor. He wasn't even drafted in my 14 teamer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 994 Posted October 27, 2017 I picked up A Seferian-Jenkins, McKinnon, traded for Aaron Jones with the guy who picked him up, also got Fuller, Harrison Butker, just added Josh Doctson, and will try to get Alex Collins. I missed out on DeSean Watson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I missed out on DeSean Watson. I missed on Aaron Jones literally by seconds. No waiver was put in for him so did the normal 2 AM wake up to snag him, and got all the way to the final confirm add/drop page, before finding out that my best bud got him literally seconds before.

Oriole8159 86 Posted October 27, 2017 Interesting side question to this convo; how many players from your original drafted team do you have left? My top 8 picks are still there, but everybody past is gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cavern 70 Posted October 27, 2017 2 am alarm by more than 1 league mate is pretty hard core. one of the things that has helped me over the years is that i tend to get up earlier than most in my league (between 5 and 6 am) but 2 AM is nuts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm blessed in that I can get back to sleep pretty easily; so it's literally alarm goes off, roll over and grab my phone, half awake see who went unclaimed, make move as needed, and roll over back to sleep.

neil2222 1 Posted October 27, 2017 Brate and Jax D during the season but the queen mother of them all was Hunt. We had an early draft and I was targeting him in late rounds and somehow flubbed it and never took him. No one else did either. I grabbed him off waivers as soon as they were open and then Ware went down the next day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
