Looking forward to it.

let us know if you need help

Will do.

I've done almost zero research.

I’ve been doing mocks, but that’s about it…I rarely go deep enough to look at strength of schedule, who teams play down the stretch and such

Yeah. Same.

A dude on our league tonight managed to draft Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs, AND AJ Brown.

There's no other team in a 12-team league in the whole world that has that line-up. Zero. He also nabbed Kittle.

Jesus Christ. In a full PPR, he's gonna murder people. MURDER.

He's got nada at RB. But his WR and QB are solid. He's also got WFT's Defense. He's got a great team. His pass catchers more than make up for his deficiencies at RB.

Fixed

i think you have a good team...i don't like the QB's, but you're very solid everywhere else...honestly i think your season could hinge on joe mixon's performance

I agree.

Took a huge gamble at QB. I'm banking on Lance becoming the starter by week 4 and then being this year's Lamar Jackson. I don't think he'll be a great real life QB this year but his legs give him the opportunity to be a tremendous fantasy asset.

Winston is just there to buy me time until Lance takes over.

Of course if I'm wrong, I'm fucked. But CMC & Jefferson should balance out my QB concerns. As long as both stay healthy.

I passed on AJ Brown for Mixon because of draft position. I'm not crazy about it but it's hard to pass up a potential three down powerhouse RB when the pickings a slim and you're on a long ass wait.

i'm just not sure what to expect from aj brown...i've generally avoided him in mocks when he's available at his general ADP

i get that strategy for trey lance...i'd rather have someone a little more consistent than winston as a potential placeholder though

but like you said cmc and jefferson should really carry you

Oh I wanted more consistency. But this year my league started taking QB's way too early. And most took a second QB too early. Three times a guy I liked more for snaked from me.

But hey. Winston has always been a better fantasy QB than talk life QB.

I'm not thrilled but I'm not panicked either.

What's got you worried about Brown?

yeah I figured you had a QB run…that tends to happen in one of my leagues, granted it isn’t PPR

definitely true on Winston as a better fantasy than real life QB…if he struggles early I wonder if Hill will be used more

On AJ Brown, it’s probably more ignorance on my part of his ceiling as I’m mostly looking at his career numbers thus far…but I also wonder if somehow julio stays healthy will that cut into his targets…and are they still going to rely on the running game a ton

Good points on Brown. I hope Julio can still ball. I love watching that guy play. But I'm worried he's washed. Super good point about Tennessee's running game though.

I feel better with Brown as WR2. And in my draft last night I would have paired him with Jefferson. Which I feel is a strong combo.

My next draft is a week from today. We have max 2 Keepers (don't have to keep any). It's a full PPR. I'm definitely keeping Tyreek Hill.

I should also keep Nick Chubb right?

same on Julio, and not just because he played at bama…dude is a specimen and I never understood why Atlanta didn’t target him more in the red zone

I've had him on my league of record team for the last seven years. This is the first year I'm not keeping him. And it really hurts. One of my all time favorite players.
