I did zero rb way back in 2008. Braylon Edwards, Julio and Calvin. You can’t really do it anymore. You can’t get three top notch ones now . Just two. We are back to having to get a top rb.

And with the backup hurt again, there isnt anyone who will vulture him at the goalline. Mccaffrey only missed games last year. He’s an absolute no brainer. Fwiw his projection puts him 60-80 pts higher than cook whose at no 2 Mccaffrey for example is about a lock for 2000 yards total as is Henry. And both should be in the 15-18 td range. Now when you add 100 catches to 30 for Henry. It’s a huge margin. Cook lands right in between them as well and should have 65 or so receptions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That changes things. Way too early on k and defense unless you have some crazy scoring that for some dumb reason rewards it. Would like to see a better TE in an 8 team draft, but I can’t argue with the eight picks before you went TE. I’d say a little early on Chase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted August 19, 2021 in the 14 team league, we have 2 keepers but only 1 keeper can be an rb. its rb rb wr wr plus wr/te/rb slot. .25 ppr. my roster there is: kyler murray, matt stafford, joe burrow, ezkiel elliott, myles gaskin, calvin ridley, tee higgins, diontae johnson, michael pittman jr, travis kelce. kelce will be one keeper. other will be elliott or ridley. doing some mock drafts, my first pick is likely to be damien harris no matter what because the patriots are currently built to run the ball a billion times per game. if i dont protect elliott, harris is my rb1 and i wont have an rb2. if i protect elliott and ridley, then my draft likely falls: harris, higgins, javonte williams, then picking burrow much later while filling up with rbs and wrs. i do not have an 8th round pick.

I don’t think there’s a need to push it in an 8 team draft. I do a ten and a 12 team draft, long term leagues. I feel there is a big difference in approach for the two. I go upside faster in the 12, let it come to me in the 10. It will get to you, especially in an 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted August 19, 2021 i think defense is severely underrated. ive won many games simply because i had an elite defense and scored a ton of points there. last year i even had 2 elite defenses and traded 1 for ceedee lamb. i have no problem taking them early. the colts have 2 stud pass rushers in buckner and leonard which is transformational. and the pats are loaded on defense.

A good defense can help a lot but rarely are they worth a higher pick. Great defenses come from later picks every year. Some teams are more consistent than others, like the Patriots, and they can be had a few rounds later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can find sleeper wrs and rbs all over the place. But you almost never find sleeper defenses. I think i got lucky getting the pats d tho. truth be told, you should always skimp on wrs. Nice ones can be found in the free agent pile after the season begins. In 2021, there are only 3 good defenses. The rams, colts and pats. I got 2 of them. If you dont get one, you are screwed unless you get lucky. Im probably going to trade one for a nice player later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,339 Posted August 19, 2021 I’ve done an 8 team before but honestly 10 is the best to me. Ours now is 10. We determine draft order by picking names but instead of first name picked being 1st pick we choose the 12 spot and work our way down. The last name gets pick 1.
