Must-Have Players

[TREFF]

My must haves...since I have zero redrafts with anyone on here any longer, I'll go all out-
Using FantasyPro's top 30 ADP in PPR-

QB
D. Prescott (61)- I expect some serious offensive fireworks in Dallas under the new regime...weapons equal to KC, debatably better as a whole group

D. Lock (157)- honestly, after Prescott, a QB is a QB, is a QB, gladly take Ryan or Stafford, but none are must haves. But for my QB2..I WANT Drew Lock first


RB
Dobbins (93)- Baltimore runs enough that even if Ingram magically survives another full season, hell still be a weekly flex option. And if Ingram ever goes down, or stumbles?? League winner, without question. And yes, screw Gus, hope he gets cut.

Brieda (102)- Miami should be trailing more often than they aren't, and Brieda is superior to JoHo to start with. Pretty decent snag that late

A. Gibson (160)- got nothing but a gut feeling on this guy, but I love him, and Guice/AP are in danger

WR
AJ Brown (47)- think hes been discussed enough around here

M. Jones (91)- like someone else mentioned, he just produces, and is undervalued (even more so than Woods, and puts up nearly the exact same points per week)

J. Jefferson (115)- should slide right into the 100+ targets, 1000+ yds and 6-8 scores Diggs left behind


TE
N. Fant (112)- gonna be Drew Lock's favorite target, at least while Juedy is getting his feet wet. No point in buying a TE in the first five rounds when a guy like this can be had in the 9-10 range

B. Jarwin (189)- those fireworks in Dallas?? Jarwin may not be a major recipient, but for the price of a 15th rd pick? Yeah sure gimme 50-60 catches, more than a few of which are likely vultured TD's, as hes the forgotten man in defensive game plans.

I have some others, but I will jump from my seat in order to reach CeeDee Lamb. He will turn into a stud WR quicker than anyone believes. I firmly believe Gallup's 2019 is CeeDee's floor this year. Gallup will fade back and Coop stays semi-unreliable. 1000 yards in the 9th or 10th round.

I kinda get all the Mecole love but at the same time are we sure he's gonna move up past Sammy and Demarcus Robinson into the #2 role? I mean shit, Byron Pringle outsnapped him in weeks 5 and 6 when Sammy missed both games and Tyreek missed week 5 and only played 50% of snaps in week 6.

I know Mecole is talented, but what makes everyone think he's just going to be utilized completely differently this year?

thought I was alone with this... glad to hear more than myself agree with me.

pretty simple for me. Everyone thinks Mahomes is throwing 40 TD... Mecole had 25% of Mahomes TD last year...and he will play more this year because he’s better than the others not named Hill... and I’m a Sammy fan.

Hardman had 871 return yards for KC.
Rest of team = 278 yards.

IDK... Demarcus Robinson soaked up 55 targets for 449 yards. Hardman turned his 41 targets into 538 yards. If they decide to ease up on Hardman's return usage, I can see him getting an increase if they decrease Robinson's looks. But fighting for scraps after Kelce, Hill and Watkins may not be easy.

 

[The Foot]

Aj green. New qb.

Edelman I think he will be used just the same and belichick is on a mission this year.

He won't be. The people saying that are nuts.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

I think DK Metcalf is about to become a top tier WR this year. I’m talking first round pick potential in 2021.

Yup Tyreek a few years ago got the same treatment fans look at the numbers and start talking about regression, but their coaches look at the numbers and figure out ways to make them a bigger part of the game plan. Same reason i'm all in on AJ Brown this year his YAC was the highest ever since they started tracking the stat. He may not be able to repeat that, but i'd be shocked if he doesn't end up a target hog on the Calvin/Julio level going forward.

Well, I hate to say it because I'm not exactly a huge fan of the guy, but I really think it's Leveon Bell. I wouldn't touch him last year which ended up being a good call, but now he's down into the ADP 43 range (mid 4th rd of 12 team leagues) and has absolutely no threat of anyone behind him so he's going to get 15-20 touches a game and they completely revamped their offensive line. He might not be back in the top 10 running back conversation, but as RB19 you can sign me up.

I hope your onto something since I drafted him in suicide at 3.12 RB 20.

Aaron Rodgers as a double digit QB off the board is just plain wrong. I'm shocked that his name alone doesn't bump him up the board. I still think he is an MVP candidate and the drafting of Jordan Love is going to be fuel for his fire this season.

He has certainly slipped the past few years, and its not just him slipping, its Mahommes, Watson, Jackson..catching up and passing him.
The good news, at that position, hes finally got room for positive return on investment should he exceed expectations a little.

Divisional rivalries aside, I do like Rodgers.
But McCarthy was more pass-oriented (66% pass vs 34% run) and LeFleur is more run-oriented (58% pass vs 42% run). The differences may not seem like much but LeFluer's play-calling is worth noting IMO.

Rodgers attempted 573 passes compared to the 640 with McCarthy. 67 less.
That resulted in 505 less passing yards.
And of all the players the Packers could have drafted to help in the passing game, they drafted RB A.J. Dillon in the 2nd round. (Of course, Funchess was signed as an FA.)

For all the people giving McCarthy shit...including Rodgers (from rumors)...the offense was MUCH better, in this comparison at least. Of course small sample size being one year but still

needs some new legs too

 

[averagejoe]

Now i know why my auction league was so bad.
Scrolling through the posts (and comments) has been both funny and sad.

 

[TREFF]

Well a significant chunk of mine are out for the year, most others were a f'n joke..
Brown, Jefferson and Gibson are doin' ok.

Much more disappointed in my managerial choices this week than anything else. Aaron Jones being out really left me with too many choices to choose intelligently

 

[DALLAScornhusker]

Even with Dak out for the year and the 0fer this past Sunday, I'm still bullish on CeeDee attaining that 1000 yard - 2019 Gallup baseline year.
Just have to think about what might have been if Dak stayed healthy.

Let it go for now....

Homer pick but OBJ at an ADP of 40.

Some skepticism there of course bc of the dumpster fire last year and Stefanski's system but Thielen and Diggs still thrived and that wasn't really all Stefanski's system..mainly Zimmer wanting to run the ball. OBJ will be 100% healthy, a motivated Baker and new head coach.

Just put it like this. Last year was an absolutely dumpster fire and Kitchens did everything he could to make it just that.

OBJ still was able to get 74 catches 1,035 yards. I mean that isn't good by any means but my prediction this year is 90+ 1,400 yards 8 TD's. That's top 5-10 WR value right.

I do like Ridley, Woods but another guy I love is:

DK Metcalf - WR28 - 57 overall

My DK pick makes up for the OBJ pick. lol
