Looking for 3 in a row. 0.5 PPR with starters QB, 2 RB, 2WR, TE, 3 flex Here is my team, where would you look to improve. Main starting core in bold with the players in italics as my fillers QB: Wilson RB: Swift, Conner, Carter, Penny, Jamaal Williams, Darrel Williams, Rachaad White, Pierre Strong, Jerome Ford WR: Adams, Higgins, Woods, Chark, Dotson, Alec Pierce, Green, Marvin Jones TE: Kittle, Jordan This past offseason I made the following trade Trade 1: Ekeler + 2022 4th (4.14) for Swift and 2022 2nd (2.07 .. became Alec Pierce) Trade 2: Lamb + 2023 3rd for Higgins + 2022 1st (1.13... became Dotson) + 2023 2nd It was tough to give up Lamb, but felt that Higgins + 1.13 and a round up in 2023 was worth it ################# I'd really like to grab another higher end RB. Feel like Conner/Carter/Penny are ripe for later season let downs. Couple RB trade targets: Edmonds, Henry, Elliott, Etienne, Mitchell Need to see how those players teams do the first few weeks of the season and hope 1-2 of them are facing a losing season and are in selling mode. Open to thoughts on things!!!! Thanks in advance I like your starters. Losing Lamb is tough especially given he's the clear cut viable option for Dak now - he may go off properly. Higgins is a good number 2, I won a league last year with him being very reliable down the stretch. Woods is being under-drafted, IMO, so that's a good one I like your pass catching RB options on bench. As a Pats fan I do expect Strong to get a decent workload later in the season. You know how we lurrrve our snakey catching RBs. The WRs may dissapoint you, not sure how much a workload the likes of Jones and Green will have. I do like Pierce at this spot though. You'd think he's a good candidate for a surprising amount of looks, given the lack of overall options outside of Pittman there. Might be a sneaky flex option there. Etienne would be on my radar.

LieutenantGains Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Small full PPR 8 team league I've done with 7 close friends for years. I know 8 team leagues are usually looked down upon so I debated even posting this. The league manager has it set where we have an extremely large bench since there are only 8 of us. My first 3 picks were CMC/Kelce/Barkley. My mindset was "either CMC and Barkley set the league on fire or they set my team on fire" QB - Lamar Jackson RB - Christian McCaffrey RB - Saquon Barkley WR - Terry McLaurin WR - Courtland Sutton TE - Travis Kelce FLX - Robert Woods DST - Broncos (weeks 1-2) K - Brandon McManus BE - Tom Brady BE - AJ Dillion BE - Tony Pollard BE - Melvin Gordon III RB - Isiah Pacheco BE - Chris Godwin BE - Michael Thomas BE - Deandre Hopkins BE - Brandon Aiyuk BE - George Pickens BE - Irv Smith Jr. BE - Chargers (weeks 3-7) Hoping that late season Godwin and Hopkins pay off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, 8 teams is tough to judge because everyone has a stacked team. I do like the upside of CMC and Barkley. If both are healthy, you should have a leg up on the rest of the teams. Taking Kelce hurts your WR1 but its a solid choice as I think he will benefit more this year with Hill gone than the WRs trying to replace Hill. Your WR depth is solid with which makes up for your starting WRs likely being weaker than the rest of the league. If Thomas and Godwin get back to normal you will have fun playing matchups and likely guessing wrong some times on who to start. Your RB depth is not great so if one or both of your starters is hurt, you will struggle some but should have WR depth to swap for another mid tier RB. But in an 8 man league mid tier doesn't cut it usually. Again have to see all of the teams but I think overall you have a pretty solid team.

Sllim Pickens Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Had my last big money league draft last night, right during a birthday party so wasn't fully focused. Its a 16 team league and I got stuck with the 16th pick. You can keep up to two players and lose the pick from the round drafted last year. There were approximately 25 players kept so it bumps up draft position for many. I kept Deebo for a 6th and Dobbins for a 10th. The positions to start are QB, WR/RB, WR/RB, WR/TE, WR/TE, DEF/St, IDP, K. Scoring is odd with a lean towards QB/WR with .5 PPR, .25 PP completion, 4 points per TD thrown, QB Bonuses for 300 yards (1), 400 yards (2), and 500 yards (4). WR/RB bonuses at 100 yards (3), 200 (5), and 250 (3). Also, has 1 point bonuses for 40+ yard plays (run/pass/throw) and receiving first downs (.25 per). Bonuses stack. QB - Tom Brady W/R - Deandre Swift W/R - JK Dobbins W/T - Travis Kelce W/T - Deebo Samuel IDP - TJ Watt DEF - Eagles K - Rodrigo Blankenship Bench: QB - Derrick Carr RB - James Cook WR - Hunter Renfrow WR - Chase Claypool WR - Wandale Robinson WR - Calvin Ridley (Potential keeper for next year drafted in the 14th/final round) Overall I had to reach on a couple players with the keepers taking a lot of talent in the 2nd-5th round range but I am happy with my team due to the keepers. At the first turn I took Swift and Kelce. I probably should have taken Tyreke Hill instead with his big play ability and bonuses but I think Kelce benefits from him leaving with more targets and the first down bonuses. Kelce was 15th in scoring last year of all non QBs so figured it was worth the risk even if WR gives me more flexibility. Swift I think has a big year running and catching so thought that was an easy pick based on who was left. Second turn I went with Brady and Renfrow (picks 45/46). I know this is early but with QB binuses, a bunch went before this and Brady was the third highest scorer in the league last year behind Kupp and Allen. The WR that went in the rounds after I selected Renfrow and before my next picks were Jeudy, Brandin Cooks, Thielen, Mooney, Michael Thomas, Devonte Smith, drake London, Amari Cooper. I like Renfrow's 1st down perk and think he still has a big year this year. He was a top 20 player last year and compared to the others left, I liked the upside. The next turn I went with Carr and then had a keeper for Deebo. Again given the Qb perks I like to have two in this league as they go quick. I probably should have waited but also forgot I lost one of these picks for a keeper. The options which would have helped are Robert Woods, Aiyuk, Hunt, Gibson. None break my heart missing on and I think Carr has a huge year too so at worst he or Brady will be trade bait. I panicked at the next turn as I wasn't paying close attention but grabbed the best WR left in Claypool and James Cook with his receiving upside. I probably should have taken a chance on a rookie WR instead of Claypool as Wilson and Williamson were left. Not too mad at the upside but I think Claypool loses share to Pickens who was long gone at this point and the others have keeper potential at this point if they hit. Olave, Burks, Moore, London, Pickens were all gone by these picks. Ridley I took in the last round as a potential keeper. Also snagged Wandale hoping he could maybe be kept if I dont want to keep Deebo at a 4th next year. I typically will start 4-6 different players through the year between the four spots so wasting a roster spot is ok for now and could be super helpful for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy_C Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 10 team PPR - 2 Keeper League (Player kept has round from last year go up 1. FA is a last round pick). QB - Russell Wilson DEN (7) WR - Ja'Marr Chase CIN (k-10) WR - Courtland Sutton DEN (3) RB - Alvin Kamara NO (1) RB - D'Andre Swift DET (2) TE - Irv Smith (11) W/R/T - Gabe Davis BUF (k-17) W/R/T - Allen Robinson LAR (4) K - Dustin Hopkins (FA) DEF - New England (FA) Bench: WR Diontae Johnson PIT (5) RB Chase Edmonds MIA (6) RB Rhamondre Stevenson NE (8) RB Kareem Hunt CLE (9) RB Rachaad White TB (12) RB Jamaal Williams DET (13) WR Treylon Burks TEN (14) IR: WR Jameson Williams DET (15) IR: RB Gus Edwards BAL (16) I know I need TE help, but some of the teams doubled up on TE (NOT a TE premium league). I think Irv Smith could produce in that offesne and tbh I dont need him to be a top 4 TE ... just a TE1 Thoughts? I thought I nailed it. D. Johnson in the 5th was someone I couldnt pass up.

I do think Aiyuk will have a great year this year, I am high on him. Metcalf scares me becuase the QB play is so meh in seattle now. McLaurin is still a dog but Wentz...

Given your keepers, your team is pretty stacked. To nitpick, I would say that your 9-12 were not my favorite. I can understand Hunt at that point but your RBs were pretty deep already. Not sure who was available at TE there but may have done that instead but also I dont hate Irv. White is a decent upside pick and Williams is protection for Swift but I think I would have gone with another WR there or another QB like Carr/Tua/Fields etc that has upside in case Wilson isn't what we think he is in Denver. I don't think its a big issue but enough to consider when being picky as I doubt unless injury, White or Williams will never start for you. I do like the Jameson and Burks picks late as potential keepers but am guessing you will keep Chase and Davis again unless one of the rookies blows up. I think you can look to move a RB with Irv to maybe upgrade the TE spot but not sure its needed. I also would potentially keep an eye on Likely at TE as an upside pickup as I think Baltimore will be a lot of two TE sets this year. Not sure I would drop anyone yet for him but would consider dropping Jamaal Williams since even if Swift does get hurt, he will be in a time share with Reynolds and likely wont start over the other 4 RBs you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
