The 2019 HALF Game

[averagejoe]

Seems every year, I call this something different? Last year was this:

The 50/50 Game​

Each season, about HALF of the first 12 drafted players at RB and WR do not finish in the top 12.
Granted, some may come close, finishing 13th or 15th. Technically, they still did not finish in the top 12. Why 12? Well, most fantasy leagues have 12 owners.

As of today, August 20, these are the top 12 RB and top 12 WR being drafted off the board first based on FantasyPros' ADP rankings.

This is easy: pick the 6 players from each list who will not be in the top 12 at the end of the fantasy season.

For the record, last season only 5 of 12 missed the cut per ADP. However, per ECR, 6 of 12 missed. The difference between ADP and ECR was CMC over Jordan Howard in the 12th spot respectively. That's one reason I narrow it to ADP.

2 years ago in 2017, 6 RB (half) missed.

in order of probability

1. Mixon
2. Conner
3. Gurley
4. Cook
5. Kamara
6. McCaffrey

Both McCaffrey and Kamara make my list in standard, but not in PPR... if PPR fournette and Chubb go on my list


WR

1. Hilton
2. thielen
3. Keenan Allen
4. Antonio Brown
5. Odell Beckham
6. Tyreek hill

Tyreek hill is the surprise one for me, he is either going to be a top 5 WR or not a top 20.... don't see the middle ground for him...

 

[Trudem]

RB:
1. Chubb
2. Cook
3. Fournette
4. Conner
5. Gurley
6. Mixon

WR:
1. Hilton
2. Thielen
3. Brown
4. Allen
5. Hill
6. Evans

I found doing the RBs easier than the WRs

 

[Trudem]

mixon, cook, zeke, saquon, chubb, fournette
tyreek, AB, THielen, Keenan Allen, Hilton, adams

out of curiosity...why the hate on Adams? or is it part of your campaign against Rodgers?

Actually no. I’ve taken him high in most drafts I love him. Good try though.

But had to chop someone, because I can make cases for everyone so I chose Adams on the belief that the pack possible may run more , and Allison comes on

Fair enough. Wasnt trying to argue was just curious. Brown, Adams and Hopkins have been the three most consistent fantasy WRs the last couple of years.

Absolutely I’ll post my full rhoughts on it later but literally had to pick someone I love him this year though

Brown is about to fall, spectacularly, from that short list
