I will never own any of the top Te or qbs , I simply don’t draft them that high. That happens to everybody though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted August 20, 2021 The difference between Kelce and Waller last season was three points per game, I would rather have the better player one round earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted August 20, 2021 15 minutes ago, TBayXXXVII said: This is a blanket argument that doesn't really apply to the situation. Round 1 - Aaron Jones is a projected RB1 Round 3 - Terry McLaurin is a projected WR1 Round 4 - CeeDee Lamb is a projected WR2 (in 10-team leagues) Round 5 - Myles Gaskin is a projected RB3 (as is Harris who was a 12th round keeper) Round 6 - Diontae Johnson is a projected WR2 who will be our flex. We're were never a round/slot behind at any point, even with taking Kelce at 2.01. We think Gaskin and Harris will be an RB2. If they don't pan out, then so be it. The blanket argument applies, but the way to defeat the argument is to hit on guys who are going to perform above their ADPs, like when you got Lamb (a WR1) in the 4th round. The argument just demonstrates that you start out behind the 8-ball in that respect, until you are able to overcome it with shrewd picks. You also din't take Kelce in the first, but in the second, so you at least got a RB1 to start with. If you'd gone Kelce in Round 1, as the strategy I was debunking describes, you'd have Joe Mixon as your RB1. Most people won't be able to overcome it with shrewd picks, either--they'll be the ones with guys like Gaskin at RB2, trying to compete with guys like Najee Harris at RB2.

If we took Kelce in the first, we would have gotten Jones in the 2nd. We had the wrap around pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had the wrap around pick. Just like with the blanket rule, you're trying to refute overarching principles with specific examples. For most drafters, Aaron Jones won't be an option in the second half of the first round, let alone in the second round. Drafting with chimps does simplify things a bit.

So I just signed up with underdog and did my first best ball draft today. 1 QB league normal scoring. 50$ 12tm..Got Henry 5th overall but thats not important. I have to talk about 3 teams of the 12 that stick out…1 guy drafted CMC and then 4 QB in a row! Look I understand best ball rules but you only get points for 1 QB my guy! Rest of his team would make you sick. 2nd guy drafted 3 QB, Lance, Fields, Teddy. What if none of those guys start soon brah?! Sure a couple will but I’m just sayin… Ok so 3rd guy I have to talk about drafted himself 1 total QB…JUST DESHAUN WATSON! My duuuuude what are you doing?! I’m of the mind he starts and plays but brooooo you feel me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Half of them have no idea about best ball strategy, roster construction, etc. Best ball leagues are great. Mock drafts that you get to track throughout the season, and pay you off at the end if you're good enough. All the fun of drafting, competing and winning, without the hangover of weekly waivers and lineups. It's like birth control for fantasy football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocNiner 44 Posted August 27, 2021 Just finished an 8 team league draft, 0.5 ppr, rest is standard scoring. I drew the #1 pick randomly. I don't normally like the number 1 overall pick but think I ended up with a pretty good draft. Results: Rd.1- RB Christian McCaffrey. Rd.2- DeAndre Hopkins. Rd.3- D.K. Metcalf. Rd.4- David Montgomery. Rd. 5- Patrick Mahomes. Rd.6-Darrell Henderson. Rd.7- DJ Moore. Rd.8- TJ Hockenson. Rd.9- Mike Davis. Rd.10- Deebo Samuel. Rd.11- Javonte Williams. Rd.12- Courtland Sutton. Rd.13- Ryan Tannehill. Rd.14- Cleveland Brown's. Rd.15- Matt Gay I like my QB's and WR's and my RB's aren't bad. Hockenson can be a top 5 TE.Cleveland Def. can be top 10. Kicker-.meh. Overall I think I have a team that can contend for a league title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overall I think I have a team that can contend for a league title. That's solid. In an 8-team league, depending on how many guys you start, I generally go RB-RB. The WR is really deep and there's no need to take a QB before the 10th round. I have my office league coming up next week and that's an 8-team league again this year (hopefully we get 10 next year). Anyway, I have the 1st pick as well, I'll be curious as to what happens. I'm going to see if I can trade out of the slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocNiner 44 Posted August 28, 2021 Did another 8 team league draft. Don't like this roster as much as my previous one but think I could still end up in the playoffs where anything can happen. QB- Rodgers, Burrow RB- Henry, N.Harris, Montgomery, Jav.Williams, M.Davis WR- Diggs, Jefferson, DJ Moore, Kupp, J.Chase TE- Kelce PK- Tucker D/ST- Tampa Bay Buccaneers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
