Until AP proves otherwise, he's still elite. #3 is overpaying for anyone besides AP or Gronk. Go with one of those two. Is your league a PPR league? If so, go with Gronk.

No ppr. I think I'm going with AP. If Brady wasn't suspended I would have gone with Gronk.

It's AD, guys. As in All Day.

12th pick in a 12 team league with standard scoring. TE is the same as WR.

QB: Drew Brees
RB: Ezekiel Elliot, Isiah Crowell, Chris Ivory, DeAndre Washington
WR: Gronk, Sammy Watkins, Golden Tate, Larry Fitzgerald, Colby Fleener, Travis Benjamin
K: Josh Brown
DST: Bengals

I was surprised to see Elliot fall to me; if he's as good as advertised I'll be very happy. I picked Ivory after Crowell but will likely start Ivory instead, at least early on.
Picked Brees with the 4th. I did not expect he would be there at the end of the 5th. There was no one picked after him I would been excited to take though.
Somehow Larry Fitzgerald dropped late, to like the 8th or 9th round. When I picked him everyone thought he was already off the board. I like my catching corps better than running.
A couple flyers in Travis Benjamin & DeAndre Washington.
My kicker was the last pick of the draft.
Since I have Tate the temptation is to use Golden Tate Warriors as my name but I like OxyContin Eyed Joe too.

Josh Brown is facing a one game suspension. Just a heads up if you aren't already aware. You'll have to stream someone for that first week.

Otherwise, nice haul. It's too bad you're not in a PPR given your strength at WR/TE.

about to finish a 16-team draft that started at 3:00 pm central time...this is tiring

it's a work league for a company i left earlier this year...it has crazy scoring and individual defensive players

i won last year so i had to defend my title...last year i won $400 for finishing first, but they upped the buy in this year so i'm guessing 1st will win at least $550 or so...i'll post my team in a bit

i had the 15th pick...QB's went off the board like crazy...i almost had brady and bortles fall to me in the fifth, but i barely missed them...ended up grabbing stafford late in the 7th and dalton late in the 9th

QB: Matthew Stafford
RB: Lamar Miller
WR: Dez Bryant
TE: Jordan Reed
WR/TE: Eric Decker
WR/RB: John Brown
WR/RB/TE: Marvin Jones Jr.
DEF: Vikings
K: Nick Folk
DB: Calvin Pryor, Reggie Nelson
LB: Jerrell Freeman, Bobby Wagner
DL: Fletcher Cox, Steven Tuitt

Bench:

QB: Andy Dalton
RB: Bilal Powell, James White
WR: Josh Gordon
TE: Clive Walford
DEF: Jaguars
IDP's: Kwon Alexander, Brandon Marshall

Helluva team, man. Well done.

I'm really gun shy about Dez. I have the 8th pick in my main league. I know he'll be there but after last season....

What are your thoughts on him?

I did not know this. I'll just get a different kicker before the opener.

Interesting. There's no way I could have passed up either of those guys for Dez. Good luck to you, my friend. I hope your gut doesn't have shit for brains.

Wow.

Is this the year he falls off? It happens to all the alpha eventually. Maybe with the injuries and the Brady suspension people are staying away? Crazy. I still think the guy counts as another WR on your roster. And he's gonna get so many red zone targets.

People love Dez and he has all the talent in the world. I'm just so gun shy now. I had him last season and it was a disaster. Plus who is Dallas's back up? When Romo goes down -- and it's a when, not an if -- who's going to throw the ball to him? I should probably take my emotions out of it but that dude burned me big time last season.

I'm in a $50 league this year. Why do I keep signing up for these leagues? I stop paying attention in mid-October.

i think bennett make take away some looks from gronk...i definitely wasn't planning on taking jordan reed when i did, but i just didn't like the other guys available at the time

dak prescott is the cowboys backup has been sharp in the preseason, for what it's worth
