Random FF Thoughts

I think people are sleeping on Henry. We forget in eight games last year:

219 carries for 937 yards and 10 TD
18 catches for a buck-fifty too…

Henry played 8 games before he broke his foot.
He was the top scoring #1 RB from week 1 thru 8.
Took Jonathan Taylor 2 more weeks (week 10) to catch up to him.
Took Austin Ekeler 3 weeks (week 11) to catch up to Henry.
Took Mixon, Najee & Fournette 4 more weeks (week 12) to catch up to what Henry did in just 8 weeks.

#2 pick in PPR. I am hesitant to take CMAC bc of how he burnt me in multiple leagues the last couple years. Then my other options I am considering are Ekeler and Jefferson. I actually have the most faith in Jefferson but idk this is tough….

I'm always an RB first kinda guy, but Jefferson is a strong PPR pick. I wouldn't be unhappy with either of 'em.

I'm assuming Taylor is the first guy to go off the board? Oof, hard to pass up Cmac. Except for the fact that his new nickname is Mr. Glass.

That’s what I assumed too LOL. He went Cmac. I was shocked, so the easy pick for me was Taylor

RB unit isn’t the strongest but I got sniped a couple times

I think you did just fine. Pierce and Carter as backups are nice picks. Hopkins? May be a stroke of genius, or a bust. We'll see on that.

 

[femurov]

Solid. If Pierce keeps the job, he should be in the conversation for flex every week, most likely.

I might add too that by week 14, which is typically the end of the fantasy regular season, Henry was the 9th-best RB even though he hadn't played in 6 weeks.

The only reason anyone should even pause on Henry is he did suffer the injury and in the past, work horse RBs like him start to fall off or become more injury prone after an injury like that. But the fact that people would rather draft CMac, who has had TWO injury plagued seasons in a row over Henry is head scratching to me. Not to mention when Henry came back for the playoff game, he had little rust. He looked good. More evidence points to him still being a workhorse beast. I'd take him a Top 3 RB all day, really a Top 3 pick

I'd dump James Robinson, trade him to the Etienne owner if you can. I expect zilch from him and his achillies this year

 

[obxyankeefan]

Did a start up dynasty with half PPR, and had the 6th pick of 10 teams. 2 RBs, 3 WRS, 2 flex and IDP 2 per plus 2 flex.

QB J Allen, Mac Jones, K Picketts

RB N Chubb, N Harris, J Jacobs, T Allgeier, R Burkhead, K Drake, M Ingram, JD McKissic, T Sermon, D Singletary, B Robinson

WR Elijah Moore, C Sutton, J Waddle, Michael Thomas, K Phillips, W Robinson, J Tolbert, Jameson Williams

TE M Gesicki, H Henry, J Ruckert

DL M Garrett
DL/LB T Walker, A Ebiketie, K Thibodeaux
LB S Barrett, Roquan Smith, L David, CJ Mosley, B Martinez, TJ Edwards

DB D James, D Stingley Jr, K Byard

K Brandon McManus

DST Buffalo and Chicago


I wanted to go Chase, Pitts, and then the best QB left with my first 3 rounds, Instead Chase went 1st overall, Pitts went first in the 2nd round and I ended up with Harris, Chubb, and Allen as my 1st 3 picks. I missed out on who I wanted as my backup QB, but am happy with were I am there. RBs after my top 3 I have a bunch of hope and prayer players. WR I am weak, so went with a bunch of rookies hoping to hit 1 or 2 of them. TE I kept missing who I wanted so can of settled there and took Ruckert late as someone I have high hopes of. IDP I have learned that LB get the most points and to go after players that have a DL/LB duel to put at DL. I was surprised with the DST I was able to get late. When I got Buffalo 4 or 5 DST had already been taken. I then planed on taking Chicago or Pittsburgh as a backup since they seldom have down years.

nice draft, def missing a top WR like you mentioned, addressing it during the start up draft was a nice strategy. if you hit on Sutton/E.Moore to go with Waddle, anything you get out of Thomas is just a bonus at that point. Just not an impressive grouping for 10tm format.

I'd try to move Chubb in-season if it is looking like a playoff run isn't in the cards

You definitely have one of the best team in our dynasty imo. You went very young like me. I don’t like my chances the next couple years but maybe in the future. I was hoping Pitts would fall to me at 12-13

Shane and OBX still messes me up, seeing how my name is Shane also.

I was watching your team in the draft and after you took Kupp in the 2nd seeing all the RBs you took. I was sitting back going which RB is Fem going to take this time. You did nick me with the Etienne pick, I believe the Jaguars are going to surprise a few people this year.

Jr really wanted him there. I was pushing for Kamara.

he took what in the what?!?!?!

Looking at again how did Henry last to 9th?

Looking at again how did Henry last to 9th?

Cook and Javonte were the two that stood out the most that went before Henry. He got Kupp in the 2nd bc a RB run and then I took Pitts.

 

[femurov]

Chase and Jefferson going 1 and 2 threw me off. Then Stoke got autodrafted JT.

Like I said I was hoping Chase would fall to 6th, I was really surprised to see him go #1 overall. Especially how we are so RB happy in the MBBRL. I have been staying away from Henry this year and didn't notice how far he fell until looking at your team.
