Been able to grap the Chubb is a lot of my mock drafts ppr, then I hit WRs next three, then back to Rbs.  

In the second rd I’ve been able to land AJ Brown as my anchor at wr.  

What if you had the 2nd pick in a 10 team ppr league.... i know it's only speculation of course.... what might be your first 3 picks assuming nothing crazy happens?

First thing I'd do is question why I'm in a 10-team league and check if I still have testicles.  Then...

Rd 1) Jeff/Chase

Rd 2) Wilson/St. Brown/next elite Wr

Rd 3) Rhamondre Stevenson (stunning he always falls this late)

Rd 4) User choice Rb/Wr depending who's there - probably Rb in a 10-teamer

Rd 5) Burrow/Herbert/next best - last chance at semi-elite Qb, it'll be slim pickens after snakes back 18 picks later

Rd 6) Reconsider life choices as to how I ended up in a 10 team league.

no judgement here.

sometimes you join a league because some buddies are there.   sometimes people bail on draft day and your league goes from a 12 teamer to a 10 teamer. 

either way, football is football.  you still need to pick and start better players than your opponents.   Thats the challenge.

just go and make the best of your league and kick some ass.

good luck

If Kupp hadn’t suffered a hammy problem he would be my top wr.  

But I can’t say that right now, so my top three would be.

Chase

Jefferson

Ekeler/ Mccaffery.

Yeah, most of my drafts are 2.5 weeks away, and what to do about Kupp in redraft is the biggest head scratcher.  He should be top 3-5 but how far does he slip?  I wouldn’t expect him to slip past 8, but don’t think right now I’d take him before Chase, Jefferson, Ekeler, Robinson, McCaffrey, Kelce, or Hill.

The other is Taylor.  Seeing him slip to the 2nd in most mocks, and suspect he hasn’t bottomed out yet with Hunt being looked at by Indy.  Hopefully more clarity in the next week or two with his situation.

If we can't make jokes about 10-teamers, then life ain't worth living.

Besides I'm rooting for him...  he can spend the winnings at a nail salon.

 so in your 2 cent opinion, what would be the most challenging as i see they have lots of free leagues on yahoo and I enjoy new experiences... even if they are painful ... 14 team... ppr, .5 ppr or no ppr?  or is there really no difference in the 3 other than draft strategy of course?  if i had to speculate, 14 team no ppr would be the most challenging.

My 10 team league is on Fuzzy FF, statgeek.com. Entry fee is $250 for the cheap leagues and $500 - $3000 for the others. 
Put up or shut up. You and weepaws denigrate the 10 team league but clearly don’t have the balls to participate.

[wolves111 106]

Let me know your interest. There’s several openings in these “joke leagues.”

I know weepaws hasn’t got the nerve.

Probably right, 14 team no ppr... I'd be completely lost.
