Haha. Good to see you.

I'm just passing through. I legit believe my continued sobriety and happiness would be in jeopardy if I went full bored again. As much as I love many of the old timers, this place is toxic as hell!

That’s Funny.  Whatever makes you happy man. I just remind myself this place isn’t real.  None of us are exactly how we portray ourselves nor are we defined by others no matter how they try. It’s a time killer. Nice that you’re in a good spot. Enjoy it.

you know there isnt such a thing as a true DND list right?

I wouldnt draft Zeke either, but if he was there in the 5th I would

you should always let the draft dictate what you do anyways, I did have CMAC at no 7 overall, but still behind Ekler and Kelce, both were gone

CMAC was going 1-2 thats what put him on my DND, if I picked 1-2 I would not have selected him

I like him more than Harris, Cook, Mixon, Jones, Barkley, Kamara etc, the next group

I do tier based rankings

Tier 1 RB

Ekler-Taylor-Henry-Cmac

Tier 1 WR

Jefferson-Adams-Kupp

Tier 1 TE

Kelce

Tier 1 overall

Ekeler-Jefferson-Taylor-Kelce-Kupp-Henry-Cmac-Adams

Draft went

Taylor-Henry-Kupp-Jefferson-Kelce-Ekler-Cmac

which caused a run on RB's and Pitts and Andrews allowing me to get Adams, so I got 2 of my top 8

 

Cool so you just had him ranked a little lower than most, but he wasn’t “on your ignore list” liked you claimed, especially since I assume you knew your draft position going in. 

Correct there comes a point where even a “DND” becomes a good value, but that’s usually at least a round or usually several below their ADP, not like 4 spots.

Also agreed.  I was trying to figure out your rd 2 pick, figured either Williams or Pittman.  Yeah it's a reach but if you think he's going to be the bomb and that he won't be there next time around, it's not a bad move to take him.

I have to be perfectly honest, I am half owner of this team.  After 15 + years of playing, being a commissioner, playing on this here boreds team vs other boreds.  I quit cold turkey like 5 years ago as I was burned out.  I'm the type of person who if I do have a team it sort of consumes me....I'm competitive and drafts and fantasy teams are like crack to me.   I'm assuming a bunch of you are like that too, hell its fftoday.com we are on right now for heavens sake.

My Company has a fantasy league that I've been invited too and turned down in years past due to my addiction;  I'm on the fantasy football road to recovery after all.  However on Monday a co-worker and also friend couldn't make the company draft last night so he asked me to go in half with him on his team and all I had to do was draft the team for us.  He would take control afterwards with all the weekly free agents - lineups- yada yada.   

I have to be honest, I don't even know half of the guys I drafted as I've been out of the game.  However  I used tried and true drafting strategies that always worked for me in the past.   Tiered Position Rankings,  never reaching for QB's or TE's and I checked in on my good buddy Doug Orth.  

It feels good to be back.

I assume you went Kelce / Mixon or Mixon / Kelce rounds 1 and 2. Mahomes and round 3 and Mike Williams in round 4. 
I wiuld have waited on a QB. There are so many really good fantasy viable QBs that using that 3rd round pick elsewhere would have been better. 
5/6 = Mitchell and Mooney? Who else was there. I’m not high on either. Can’t trust a SF fantasy RB. Maybe I’m not as high on Mooney as I should be. 
I do really like Lazard but more as a WR 4 for value. 
 

I guess I only don’t like it because I’d rather see a better 1-2 punch at WR or RB instead of Mahomes.

I agree. This is my first time play again since like 2015 I think. We only start 1 RB so I didn’t double up on them in 1/2, but maybe should have since we have 2 flex spots.

not good but not awful. The C rating is probably correct. I like many of the players you have but it feels like it should be stronger for a 10 team league.

It feels very similar to my home draft team but mine is a 12 team league.. and while I like Shulltz a lot this year, I have Andrews in that league so I was able to assemble a very similar roster while still using a 2.11 pick on Andrews with 2 more teams in the league. 

I'm not bragging about my team. there are 2-3 others in my league I like better, but I need something to use for comparison.

We both have Hurts
I have CMC/Montgomery... I also have Penny and Mattison among my backups. I like Javonte, have him in dynasty but my expectations are tempered with Gordon still in town. 
We both have Gabe Davis as our WR3. He is my flex starter. My top 2 are Evans and Amon-Ra. Very comparable to Pittman and Allen. 
I have Andrews and Kmet at TE. 
My DST is the Ravens in the last round for streaming and my kicker is TBD. Elliot is among my options on waivers.

Well it's 2 QB league and it's like Mahomes is my 1st pick at the cost.  Since it's a 3 keeper league most top RBs, WRs were kept.  I was outbid on Dalvin Cook, Kamara, and McCaffrey.  I got Tyreek Hill who's a #1.

i was going to edit my post to go into a little analysis instead of just the short statement.. so i'll add some here. Obviously with it being a keeper/auction league its going to be different. Still, I assume everyone had 3 viable keepers and it's auction so there is no round loss attached to them. 

Mahomes and Dak are 2 of the QB's that give me a little pause compared to the others being drafted close to them. Again that's based on ADP not auction and it's absolutely a great duo. Depends a little on QB scoring but most teams in 12 team leagues have backups that i'd be fine starting in a 2 QB format. Of course when you know the format is 2 QB, teams will be rostering 3-4 depending on league size and drafting them earlier. 

you have great depth.  but starter wise i think is where it feels lackluster. Javonte as a 1 in an 8 team league? It makes me expect better receivers. I love Tyreek Hill, don't love him as much in Miami.. hope i'm wrong. My favorite receiver you have is Tee Higgins. I also have Robert Woods as my WR4. 

Somehow I feel like my 12 team roster has better starting RB's, a pretty comparable top 4 receivers and the same TE. My backup TE is Kmet who I'd take over Hockenson anyway.

So the difference is you have 2 top 12 QB's against my 1, and overall better depth. Dobbins is someones RB2 in my league (round 6), Dillon is an RB3, Hopkins is someones WR4 stash while you have him as a WR 5 stash. But again, you're playing with 4 less teams so I expect most teams to have a ton of depth. 

[cmh6476 918]

10 team league pretty standard scoring, no ppr.

 

I can franchise Burrow in the 9th, Hurts in the 17th, Akers in the 17th, or Amon-Ra St. Brown in the 17th.

can franchise 1 of them? and non ppr..... that rules out Amon-Ra as his value probably drops slightly relative to some other receivers in PPR formats. 

How many rounds is the draft?!? That seems like super late keeper prices for a player like Hurts who should have been drafted much higher last year. 

Burrow is still great value as a 9th but i've been coming around on Hurts as a potential top 3 fantasy QB so I would lean him or Akers. 

My gut tells me Hurts and then to go RB/RB to start the draft

I have the 9th pick in a 10 team league (also 12th pick), and none of the top 14 are able to be franchised.  Mahomes will go in a local league before I pick, so I should be able to get two out of Taylor, McCaffrey, Henry, Ekeler, Kamara, Harris, Kupp, Jefferson, Chase, Cook or Swift.  

I don't think I can get Hurts now because he was dropped by someone else and likely not eligible.  With that in mind, I'm kind of leaning toward Burrow and hoping to get Chase and a top from whoever falls to me.

If you can’t keep hurts and Akers costs a 17th, I’d lean Akers. Burrow probably Goes round 6, maybe 5 depending how QB happy your drafters are. Akers is a nice RB3. Akers in the 17th is a much bigger value compared to ADP
 

stick with your plan for rounds 1/2. I like Mixon also. Maybe above Swift. 
 

then you can just wait on QB until round 6 or 7 and get Hurts or Dak if Burrow is gone. Or even Wilson, Brady, Rogers etc. 

[cmh6476 918]

Now I'm starting to think of all those rbs do fall, maybe I'm better off targeting a jefferson/ chase combo, relying on Akers and trying to strike gold with some guys like Harris, Montgomery, ceh, hall, pierce, Etienne, etc in the 3rd/4th

In non ppr I can’t see how. I’d go for two stud backs. Receiver is so deep.
