I’ll be rolling with Wilson and Winston (and Prater) in my money league too.

Good luck

PPR? What do you start?

Without knowing, it looks solid. I would probably like a better back up QB in case something happens to Russ, but they are not hard to find on the ww. I like cuffing your RBs, but I hear Eno may have jumped Darrel Williams as the 2 there behind Conner. Worth tracking.

Been reading the same recently but have a hard time believing it. We've seen Darrel the barrel get it done at the pro level and Eno has looked bad in the very limited sample size of what I've seen in the NFL. Def worth monitoring as the Kliff/Kyler red zone RB is a very lucrative role for fantasy

PPR for WR/TE only. RB get a point for 1st downs.
All TD are 6 points.

1 QB
2 RB
3 WR/TE (TE not required)
1 Flex (RB/TE/WR)
1 K

I traditionally wait until the 12th round to take my backup QB. I was eyeing Derek Carr, but he went in the 10th. It started to get thin.

It was a strange draft. Kirk Cousins went before Aaron Rodgers. The guy who drafted Justin Herbert also got Rodgers.

Once I got Conner I knew I wanted to cuff him with Williams. I hadn't planned on cuffing Fournette, but none of the RBs late appealed to me so I said screw it. I considered Ke'Shawn Vaughn.

Actually, for me, I love it. In my league, draft order is determined by reverse order of the previous season's finish...so give me #10 every season.

1 QB
2 RB
3 WR/TE (TE not required)
1 Flex (RB/TE/WR)

In a TE not required league, I sure wouldn't have two TE's. Once you get past Kelce/Kittle/Andrews/Waller and probably Pitts, the ceiling just isn't there for the other TE's

 

[SmokingMonkey]

I considered Ke'Shawn Vaughn.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

with TE not being required, I would not have taken any.

Would’ve stocked up on more WR instead.

Dallas Goedert was a better selection than the WRs at that spot.

 

[averagejoe]

Dallas Goedert was a better selection than the WRs at that spot.

Its arguable i suppose. Most default rankings will include TE. And since most leagues have a TE that must start, their value can be skewed.

We know the ceiling for most TE too. Only 2 or 3 get more than 1K yards. The rest are hit or miss. You could make the argument that Goedert will be a steady contributor. However when it comes time to set your lineup each week, his projected 9 points may not seem so appealing compared to some of the WR.

 

[tlance]

Dallas Goedert was a better selection than the WRs at that spot.

Not really.

Position scarcity of TEs is factored into ADP.

Goedert being drafted at 100 because of where he projects relative to other TEs.

WRs drafted in that range project to score higher.

 

[Bandit]

So I'll address the tight end part later, but I wanted to say that I really like the team. Being able to get Fournette, Conner, and Montgomery after going WR/WR in the first two rounds is really good. As far as the tight ends go, my main money league (I am commissioner) has been around for 17 years and I've done WR/TE the whole time because I hate tight ends with a passion. I always do a completely separate list for my draft than all the rest I do that start a tight end, so I can tell you that in half point PPR scoring, TE5 last year (Zach Ertz) had the same number of points as WR36 (Marvin Jones) 143.7. TE15 (Tyler Higbee) was equivalent to WR50 (Robert Woods) with 115 points. There were 20 tight ends that scored over 100 points last year, there were 60 wide receivers. I only rank 8-10 tight ends on that list and almost never end up taking one. Now that could be different if you have premium scoring for your tight ends, but if they are getting equal points as the wide receivers there are almost always better options at wide receiver. Now with that being said, last year I drafted Mark Andrews in the 9th round and he was awesome in that spot the whole year so it's not like they can't be good, but the law of averages say you are better off with taking a wide receiver.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Well, I'm off to a good start. Won by 21.
QB Russell Wilson--12
RB Leonard Fournette--16
RB James Conner--16
WR Davante Adams--26
WR Stefon Diggs--22
TE Darren Waller--10
F Diontae Johnson--11
K Matt Prater--1
Total--114

 

[PhilSimms11]

Down by 40 going into tonight. I have Stefon Diggs (currently with 32 points). If I can get 1 more catch, 22 yards, and another TD the comeback will be complete.

A lot of my guys just laid an egg this week...
Russell Wilson--13
Leonard Fournette--5
James Conner--6
Davante Adams--8
Darren Waller--16
Diontae Johnson--12
Chris Boswell--8

 

[PhilSimms11]

Holy shit...there's point #40 for Diggs. Man, am I glad I drafted that guy. ONE MORE POINT!

 

[tlance]

Oh no!

Tell me you didn’t come up 1 point short with Diggs and Allen only playing 2.5 quarters.

 

[PhilSimms11]

Oh no!

I did not come up one point short. We tied. I was down by 40 and Diggs got me 40. When BUF got that pick 6 to make it 41-7 I knew I was screwed. I can't blame Diggs. He did his job. Had he gotten two more yards that would've put me over the top.

Too many of my guys just didn't produce this week. I had several guys on the bench, however who did...

Damien Harris-17
David Montgomery-16
Darrel Williams-14
Dallas Goedert-11
