But yeah, Patterson probly won't be top 10 again this year, they'll probably spread him out more to prevent him from burning out down the stretch like last year, but if we're talking about Patterson vs. Edmonds, I'm amazed you took the low road.

Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted August 27, 2022 One of my favorite late round flier receivers is still sitting there on the board and I doubt anyone takes him. I could probably almost jump a defense a round early to let him sit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the scoring system that league uses (the 0.4 per rushing attempt and 5 yds per pt rushing, especially), Mariota scored 13.7 fantasy points in his first drive of the preseason. He'll likely be a top 10 QB in this system. Jimmy Garoppolo went for $15, and he's not even starting. Daniel Jones went for $38. Justin Fields went for $59. Trey Lance went for $75.

Hey, I get it, you tanked your draft and throwing darts at Axe Elf makes you feel better. Hopefully you will learn something from this fiasco, and when you get around to drafting for your real leagues this year, you'll be able to put together a more competitive team. Sorry about that...

Even in a 2 QB league you overspent. no. not in a 2 QB league. thats overkill on the criticism. in my 2 QB league 12 team league ($100 budget on average) any QB who is starting is worth 5 bucks. how that translates to your league depends on your rules. but with a $350 budget with the same rules you are looking at close to 20 bucks. but this boils down to a know your league thing. if people are paying more in other leagues, you also have to pay if you wanna get a QB. to that end, you cant really call him out unless you see what all QBs went for at auction. if hes paying $1 less for mariota than people paid for better starters, then you have to call into question why he paid that much. but I dont have that info in front of me and I dont care enough to look into it (no offense) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So we are looking at this in a 12 team, PPR league: QB- Stafford, Fields RB- Taylor, Conner, Elliott, Edmonds, Jamaal Williams WR- Marquise Brown, Kirk, Robinson II, Meyers, Campbell, Wan'Dale Robinson TE- Andrews, Fant D- Colts ok at QB- decent. (assuming you start 1 QB) if you start 2, then below average RB-very good-possibly elite your third RB is probably better than some teams second RB and thats a good place to be. TE-above average. possibly elite. really depends on what kind of season we get out of Andrews. Fant is a nice dark horse. WR-clearly the weakness of the team. -Brown is underrated. I think he puts up 1000 yard like he did in Baltimore. its possible he puts up more. but his QB is for sure better than the one he had last year and it will show in his stats. Once Hopkins returns, his stats probably revert back to the average, but its possible they dont. I still think a WR2 in this offense is better than a WR1 in the Baltimore offense and that makes this guy a nice pick. Kirk-the number one WR on an emerging offense. probably a 1000 yard guy, but no guarantees. as a talent hes kinda Meh, but I dont see any huge threats to his workload this year. he probably repeats his 1000 yard season from last year and I do think Lawrence is the real deal. with real coaching I think he steps forward in his progression and Kirk will benefit from this. Robinson-I love this pick. this guy has never had a good QB tossing him the ball and I think he could light it up. no guarantees, but he could actually be your best WR. but hes a lower floor high ceiling pick and I dont mind where you got him. but with stafford tossing him the ball, he could do some nice things.- well done in picking this guy up. Campbell-the #2 WR in the indy offense based on the most recent depth chart. word out of camp is that hes been catching everything and looked real good. problem with him was never talent, it was his ability to stay healthy. but you didnt use a top pick on him, and I do love the upside that is here with this guy relative to where you picked him. hes a candidate to be your WR 3 but if he stays healthy and does what hes supposed to do he could potentially do a whole lot more.... if he can stay healthy. ideal backup. starter upside and you cant argue with that. Wandale Robinson-I dont love the guy, but he has some potential upside. I dont know that I would have picked him but thats mostly personal preference at this point in the draft, its not like you are gambling a whole lot. so if you like him this is the point in the draft to get him. Defense: is solid. nothing else to say there. summary: the results of this draft really depends on how your WR do. the one criticism of this draft is that you dont have one clear cut #1 guy at WR. but I think if enough of your low ranked WR pan out you could have a nice year. I think you make the playoffs, but probably need a good waiver wire acquisition at WR to make you a true contender. an achievable goal if you watch the wire. usually 2 or 3 WR emerge each year from out of nowhere and if you get one of them you will be fine.

Ray_T 587 Posted August 27, 2022 hey I'd also like to take the opportunity to thank you for posting your draft. its a brave thing to do this and open yourself up to criticism from others. There are some here who will rip your team apart no matter what the draft result. what you have done is allow others to learn from your draft experience. both the good and the bad help us to learn if our minds are open to learning. some here may not appreciate this, but I do and for that I thank you. it was fun to follow along.

Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted August 27, 2022 Appreciate it Ray T. I'm pretty thick skinned so it doesn't worry me one bit. Like I said as I went along- I knew I was taking a bit of a hit at wide receiver to strengthen the other areas. At the 1st pick (or even like the 11th or 12th) sometimes you have to jump ahead on guys and find advantages where you can get them. That will invariably leave you weak in an area. As you said- it's about finding a waiver guy now. If I were drafting at the 5 or 6 spot and ended with this team I'd be less enthused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
