EaglesPeteC Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 6 minutes ago, beekay414 said: Yeah. I'm just debating if having two RB1 caliber guys starting at 11 and 14 is smarter than taking a WR there. Is the gap between 1st and early 2nd round WRs compared to 3/4 bigger than the gap between the RBs. I kinda feel it is in regards to the RBs. I'd probably rather have Doug Baldwin as WR1 than Alex Collins as RB2. Especially if I can get my hands on a quality TE (Olsen, Graham, Engram). I feel like getting something like this for example is a really solid start to a draft. Fournette OBJ Cooper Collins I've been in mocks where the WR's get really decimated in before that 3/4 turn. I'd hate to be reaching for a RB in the 1/2 turn and then reaching again for a WR in the 3/4 turn. It really depends on what players are sitting there though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that Hopkins and OBJ are gone so it makes my choice easier. I'll take Gordon or Hunt at 11 over Thomas. Question becomes, if 12 takes Fournette and Hunt in that scenario, is it smarter to take Thomas or go RB2 and take Cook or CMac? Conundrums everywhere.

Lol My board looks like this at 11 1) Gordon 2) Fournette 3) Hopkins 4) Hunt 5) Julio/OBJ 6)Cook/Caff I feel like things would have to go really screwy not to end up with 2 of those 8 guys. I'm pretty happy getting any 2 of those RB's and any RB/WR combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have a strategy going in and I always toss it to the wind because this league is difficult to prepare for and I'm always drunk lol. We all use a different set of rankings so you think you might get a guy in 6th but he goes in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the RB spot isn't as barren unless people draft for depth and neglect other spots. I wouldn't complain if I went OBJ and then, say, Fournette, Cook or CMac. Think I could live with Lamar Miller or Alex Collins as RB2. Oh thats right! Yea going 1-1 might be the best way to go. Having a 4th WR is more important than a 3rd RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Eagles rankings, Id have Hopkins ahead of Fournette in a .5 PPR league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RBs you have in White/Riddick are garbage in standard leagues and i think that drops them in other’s eyes in a PPR league and you made it work. You have 3 very good startable WRs, a top-12 RB, Top 5 QB and Top-10 TE. Nice job Thanks. An update. I sought out the newbies and proposed trades. Trade 1: Allen Robinson and Adrian Peterson for A.J. Green - REJECTED Trade 2: Allen Robinson and Adrian Peterson for Mike Evans - ACCEPTED (tentatively, pending league approval) I picked up Peterson with the intent of trading him to someone who thinks he has more value than I do (which is close to none). Now: Russell Wilson Devonta Freeman Lamar Miller Deandre Hopkins Mike Evans Chris Hogan / Julian Edelman Trey Burton Arizona Cardinals Brandon McManus I am speculating a move for Mark Ingram involving Edelman and some RB depth (either Riddick or White and either Clement or Conner).

I'm not big on Evans but he is better than A-Rob and I think AP is practically worthless imo. Good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twslhs20 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 10 team full PPM pick 6 QB: Smith RB: Mixon, Freeman, Burkhead, Lynch, Penny, Michel WR: A Browm, Allen, Baldwin, Jones Jr, Garcon TE: Doyle Feel like my RBs are weak but serviceable.

Stacked at WR. Not crazy about QB/TE I'm actually OK with your RB's. It's not flashy, but I'm high on Lynch this season (because I'm confident in Gruden's stubbornness). Depending on what kind of WR depth is still on the waiver wire, I'd give strong consideration to dangling a package of Jones (I just feel regression coming his way in the TD dept for him and his targets/game weren't on par with Tate's last year, despite outscoring him) and Freeman or Penny (I only say Penny because if I'm going to own a NE RB I want to own them both because in prime matchups you can get away with starting both and know that one of them is going to hit big on the weekend and probably score enough for two) for an RB/TE combo, a noteworthy upgrade at QB, or a top-tier TE (less inclined to do this trade because TE's outside of a couple and it's usually not the Top 3 have a pretty similar level of production in full-point PPR leagues and the spikes are almost always TD-dependent). In a 10-team league though, I'd feel solid enough about the depth you've got to shop for an upgrade on Garcon (and possibly even Jones, since I do think he's a regression candidate) and to stream QB or TE throughout the season, just make sure you stay ahead by a week in your waiver wire pickups to avoid the competition for your streaming candidates.

It's super hard to mock for this draft because its a 3 WR, 2 RB, and 2 Flex full PPR. WRs will be a premium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I just did a draft picking 11th and I have another one up where I am picking 12th. How concerned would you be about getting too many of the same players on too many of your teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the highest guy on your board no matter what. Dont pick the 6th best guy when 5th is available because you have him on another team. Just like bye weeks and drafting multiple guys from the same team. Always take the best guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Experimenting with a new draft strategy before I pick 12th in my PPR league later this week. Might post a few.

Anthony Miller 13. Geronimo Allison 14. Stephen Gostowski 15. Titans DST QB- Stafford RB- Fournette RB- Collins WR- Jones WR- Davis TE- Doyle Flex- Drake Flex- Duke Johnson K- Gostkowski DST- Titans Bench- Kerryon Johnson, Sony Michel, Marquise Lee, Anothey Miller, Geronimo Allison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
