12 team ppr 3 keeper league, may keep a player up to 3 years (first year no penalty, second year 1 round penalty, third year 2 round penalty). I'm already planning on keeping Freeman and Kamara, but bouncing around on the third. RBs are tough to come by in the draft. 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE and a Flex RB/WR

Position Player Round
RB Freeman 5 (-2)
RB Kamara 11
WR Corey Davis 8
WR Chris Hogan 10
TE Evan Engram 11
RB Jamaal Williams 11 (obtained in FA)
RB Kenyan Drake 13

You almost have to keep Drake if he's going to start at RB for the Dolphins.  If not him, than Engram IMHO.

This shouldn't even be a discussion. It's Drake and it's not close. 

I disagree.  Don't really believe in Drake.  Engram should be top 5 TE.

I'm torn with this, especially in a ppr league. But if I am wrong with drake in a league already spread thin on RBs, I'd be kicking myself.

Get to keep one:

Zeke as a 2nd Rounder

Hopkins as a 4th

Wentz as a 16th. 

Leaning Hopkins, but i could be talked into all three.

What’s the story with QB’s in your league?

I just didn't include players in the list above I wouldn't consider keeping.

To me, Hopkins is a lock, not a lean. Zeke and Hopkins are both top 10ish picks, so may as well preserve your first three live picks. Wentz is great if you are thinking you can ride him his whole career in your league, but that's risky with a QB.

Engram is going 2 rounds later on average and costs you an earlier pick.  I don't think it's close.

If you don't like Drake much (and I don't) he still has more value, trade him to somebody that emerges from the draft with a bad RB situation.

 

13th round value for Drake is too much to pass up imo

#2 pick in a 12-team, .5 PPR league... You kids tell me who’s going 1 & 2 so I know who to blame if it fails. 

My list (that I bought - PPR) has Gurley, D Johnson, Bell, Zeke, Kamara in that order

Damn, no AB? 

He's next on this list.

Followed by Hopkins, Gordon, Hunt, Cook.

Half point PPR pretty efficiently balances RB and WR value, it makes starting rosters matter. How many of each position do you play?

I’d have Gurley, Bell, Brown top 3 but if you play 3WR Brown scoots up. 3WR with no flex and you could make an argument for AB at #1.

 

He's 3rd or 4th in value in that format, so it's not crazy...though maybe a slight reach.  Only 2 WR and not having full point PPR limits his marginal advantage over positional average.

 

I'm not going Antonio brown there.  Honestly. Four years as #1 has to end sometime.  So I lean towards this year with juju being a growing force on offense and bell being there the full year.  He's the safe pick obviously, but I would rather have a rb there. 

I have pick 9 in a 10 team PPR league. Routinely I have seen Hopkins, OBJ, Julio, and even Kamara fall to me in Mock drafts. With the 9th pick, if Hopkins isn't available, I have been drafting Melvin Gordon. with the 12 pick, I get a little more lost. I have seen OBJ very often fall to me at 12. Do I take OBJ here or take Hunt/Cook/Fournette over OBJ and secure 2 RBs? Or balance out the team with a good WR and RB?

With full point PPR, if RBs and AB are all that’s gone, and I’d be looking at Hopkins or Julio with one of those picks.

 

I pick 9th in ours and am strongly considering DHop.

The Texans line and BoB's idiocy give me pause.

If Watson and Hopkins are allowed to get their game on, the sky's the limit.

I have the #1 pick in a full-point PPR. I was offered pick #9 & #12 for the #1...and I keep my #20 & #21. No brainer right??

Basically trade Gurley/Bell for ODB/Hopkins and Hunt/Cook/Fournette...

I'm helping with a 14-team draft right now with 3-minute pick times. This is going to take a month.

I do that deal 100% of the time, regardless of starting positions or scoring.

 

On that high second round pick, around 12-13, anyone else buying Christian McCaffrey?  I see projections of up to 80 receptions and my eyes light up.

Too early at that point, because he's not lasting to late Rd 3.

Well, now he wants my 11th rounder. So swap 1st and I get his 2nd for my 11th. I’m pushing for my 12th, but will still likely take the deal if I haven’t scared them off

Shit, in a PPR, I’d be tempted to take McCaffery from pick 9 on.  I like him better than Fournette and Cook. 

gotta be for new customers, right?

 

If not, we need a rebate...LOL.

I have done 5 mock drafts today.  i picked from the 9th position in each of them and it's pretty much DHop or Odell at Pick 9 and McCaffrey ain't making it to my 2nd rd pick at 16.

So week 1 flex, standard league. Who do I throw in there?

J. Landry
M. Goodwin
N.Agholor

I have Marlon Mack as well but obviously he’s a week 1 ? mark.

Is K. Rudolph or R. Mathews better than any of the above? They’re available for pick up.

First pick in a PPR & PPY non-keeper league.

LeVeon Bell or Todd Gurley?

Well, I know you all were anxiously awaiting to hear my decision.  Went with Gurley since Bell is still holding out.

Carry on.

any of you folks who already drafted, nervous about Bell?

 

What about McKinnon's injury?  He is dropping like a rock in ADP lists.

McKinnon is out for the season

This bullshit is why we moved our draft to the Tue after Labor Day about 5-6 years ago.  You think after final cuts and the last game everything is done.

 

Hell no.  There's plenty more shenanigans before Thursday night's kickoff...

14 team. PPR.

Keep 2 - round they’d be slotted for in parenthesis...

Brady (4)
J Howard (10)
Gronk (1)
Jamaal Williams (8)
Wentz (11)

Is this gonna be the start/sit thread? If so, let’s get it going. 

.5 PPR... 

Jordan Reed @ Ari or Kyle Rudolph v. SF? 

Ajayi or Agholor at flex v. Atl Thurs night? 

 

I hope so. I’d say Rudolph. Cousins likes his TE’s and Reed’s still a bit of a question mark. Ajayi over Agholor.

Yeah that TE play is a great dichotomy to be played out over this season.  Both guys kinda got new situations evern thought they are still on the same teams.  I have won with Reed in the past, but his injuries will drive you mad.

Rudolph seems like he has a little more upside this season...

 

I’d say n Week 1 they are damned near a draw, either way.

I'm hoping Reed is serviceable for a couple of weeks at the start of the season until I can see what free agent TE's emerge (who won't be soon suspended by the NFL).

I'm nervous as fuck about Bell. 

so i have the #1 pick in a non-ppr draft today.  i had made the decision it would be bell for me, weeks ago.  now i don't feel like i can pull that trigger.

so - the obvious pick should be to take gurley.  but am i overthinking this here by thinking, when was the last time a guy finished a season as the clear #1 (gurley here), went in to the next season as the clear #1 or at worst #2 (gurley here), and actually finished that season as #1 or #2?   emmitt smith?  ladanian tomlinson?  and therefore odds are, it likely wont happen with gurley this year either (especially considering he was a complete bist 2 years ago) and maybe i should buck the conventional wisdom and take d. johnson, kamara, maybe even fournette?  or go with the initial gut instinct and take bell  and hope he gets to top form quickly like he did last year?  or just stop play it safe and take gurley

what would you all do in this spot and why

You're overthinking it.  It doesn't really matter if Gurley will finish 1 or 2, because that's not what you're drafting on.  If you take somebody else, you're saying you think that guy will finish with a better season than Gurley.  It's certainly possible (even probable) that somebody will, but you're rolling the dice that you can pick that somebody.

 

No Bell again so far this morning. Ready to fire up James Conner on my RB/WR flex (I am a Gurley owner).
