Disagree, I think he already has pretty much supplanted RS. RS was pretty bad last year and has infamous ball security issues. He hasn’t improved over the last 2 years. TH is electric and they invested a high pick in him. I think he is going a little high now, but the guy got him in the late 7th, that is great value.

We'll see. Stevenson was a huge part of the RB share last season.

He had 58% of the rush attempts, 50% of the RB targets and receptions. Even if you dialed that back to 50% of rushes and 35% of receptions, I think Henderson takes most/all of Gibson's touches and is in a timeshare with Stevenson.

Did you receive any messages about the league on the Boneyard group chat? I sent a few messages about payment and I've yet to receive a payment or response from you on it. I can get you back on it once the payment is back, feel free to PM.

I have not seen medsages in a group chat

I'm in two leagues - both 12 Team : one is full point PPR (roster below) while the other is half point and next week:

In sequential order with #2 pick:

CHASE
J TAYLOR
D ACHANE
T HENDERSON
T HILL
KELCE
D SMITH
J FORD
Q JUDKINS
K SHAKIR
MAYE at QB (best of what was left)


I have the #4 pick coming up in this .5 pt PPR - where top RBs with high pass catch significantly score better than WR:

I assume it's going to be CHASE, BIJON then leaving me either GIBBS or BARKLEY? Rather have GIBBS over BARKLEY - but do I really consider anyone else at #4? Jefferson was about 50 pts less for the year from those two. Thoughts?

Montgomery likes to vulture gibbs tds.
Hurts and the tush push steal points from saquon.
CMC is a risk but might be worth it in a ppr league.
I recently took him at 6 in a 10 man ppr.

I wouldn’t touch CMC with a ten foot pole. You can’t screw up your first round pick and he’s never playing a full season again.

Do you still need teams for league or does it have 14 already. Took last year off. Bummer if it's filled up

Henderson is going to play virtually every 3rd down. He won't supplant Stevenson as the lead back unless Stevenson is ineffective. The fumbling issue was really just last year, not prior, and even Vrabel admitted it came from poor blocking and Mondre trying to make things happen. Henderson will also get split out and will get some deep pass targets out wide.

That said, Henderson is a fantastic handcuff with big upside.

Later round guys I like right now (12+ team leagues):

Jalen Coker (Carolina) - With Thielen getting traded, he's going to be the slot guy and will get great value in PPR's for his draft spot.
Trevor Lawrence (Jax) - I know, a former #1 overall pick but he was QB22 last year. Liam Coen turned Baker Mayfield around and Jax has great weapons in Thomas Jr and Hunter.
Dameon Pierce (Houston) - I don't think Mixon will be back before Wk 6 at the earliest and Chubb is coming back from MAJOR surgery in 2023 and a broken foot in 2024.
Tyrone Tracy (NYG) - Not a sexy pick but there's no one pushing him for carries. Singletary is washed and Skattebo hasn't shown anything in preseason. RB's need touches and he should get a large % of the Giants RB share. A roster filler you can throw in when you need it.
Tucker Kraft (GB) - If your league uses a TE and you don't want to burn an early pick on the big 3, Kraft is going to have a sneaky good year.

I have Pierce on my Dynasty team and hope he plays early so I can trade him for a pick next year. I think everyone is in on Coker now.

One of my long time strategies is to grab guys in year 2 who were hurt and forgotten or otherwise didn't have a great rookie year. Last year that included JSN in Seattle and Chase Brown.

My Keeper league draft is coming up. It is Superflex (2 QB) 2 WR, 2 RB and a TE and not PPR. I can keep two guys, no draft pick cost. My options:
J'Marr Chase (obviously he is one)
Bo Nix
Drake Maye
Nico Collins
Josh Jacobs
Amon-Ra St. Brown
Bucky Irving
Ladd McConkey
Dak
Trevor Lawrence
Brock Bowers

I'm torn here. Best TE in football, some stud WRs and young QBs who are valuable as I can keep them again next year and QBs go fast in this league. The RBs are good but not good enough.

 

[WillMadsDad]

Wow - what options!

After J'Marr ... you narrow it down to this:

Amon-Ra
Nico / Bowers
McConkey

I'd go Amon-Ra or Bowers. Everyone else is below that list. Dropping your QBs - one most likely will be there for your next pick.

QBs usually go first in round 1 in this league, because you need 2 and ideally want to carry a third for bye weeks. I think I pick 5th or 7th, so can get a decent QB. It's a tough call. With no PPR, TDs tend to win this league. I'm tempted to take Maye for the rushing yards and TDs.

Geez. No kidding. You really can’t go wrong. I may go Amon Ra over Bowers. Just because I’m generally anti TE. Good luck.

Vipers Drafts Like a Pro, Aces the Competition!​

• Recap
• Draft Results

Vipers strutted into the draft like a rockstar, snagging an A+ grade and setting the stage for a glorious season ahead. With a projected record of 12-2-0, they’re not just aiming for the playoffs; they’re eyeing the championship trophy like a hawk! Drafting from the 11th spot in a 12-team league, they turned the odds in their favor, showing that sometimes, the best things come to those who wait (and draft wisely).

While some teams are sweating over their bye weeks, Vipers is chilling with only three players on bye in week 8. They even managed to score the best pick of the draft with Travis Kelce, who was a steal at 83 when his ADP was 62. Sure, there was a slight hiccup with Kyler Murray being drafted at 59 when his ADP was 94, but hey, nobody's perfect! With the easiest schedule in the league, it looks like Vipers is ready to dominate and make the rest of the league wonder what just hit them!

To be sure mine is a B-, but it basically goes with what position was the player in their pre-season ranking, and what round did you pick them. So IDK if this means anything and once injuries come in it's a bit of a crap shoot.

It sounds very AI generated.

They are. And they often don’t take league nuances into account. Like free agent moves and how they’re made, super flex leagues or performance leagues with big yardage bonuses. But they’re fun and free.

I came in 5th out of 10. That's how important QB play is in this league. Every top 10 QB will be somebody else's keeper. I really only had Nix and Maye at the halfway point. I picked up and stashed some of the QBs and some other guys like Collins on IR because I knew they'd be available as keepers.

Looking online it seems like St. Brown / Nix /Jacobs are rated highest in Superflex. I think Maye has more upside than Nix, but Nix is more of a sure thing.

I just looked and Denver and NE both have very similar QB strengths of schedule (16.5 v 16.3) and both are very favorable.

Last year I missed the draft and my entire team was autopicked and I got an A+ grade from Yahoo. Then I went 7-9, barely made the playoffs, and got trounced in the first round. Lol

This year I made every pick live and got a C-. I'm actually fine with that grade, as I think your team's success is an inverse of whatever grade Yahoo gives you. 😆

3 times the player I planned to draft got sniped right before it was my turn...CMC sniped, so went with Jefferson. Then Daniels the next time so went with Burrow, then I think Kittle the next. I was shaking my fist each time. Lol

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Welp, if AI eventually takes over the world, at least I know that it thinks I drafted well last night:

I got a D-. part of the problem was I forgot the draft was only 15 rounds so I didn't draft a kicker. The grade rankings are purely based on if you get someone higher or right on ADP, you get a good grade, lower and you get a bad grade. A few times I had to reach down below my pick anticipating who I needed in the next round I'd miss out on due to the long stretch inbetween. I drafted 10th.

Yeah I didn't pick any RBs till the 5th or 6th round so at that point I was like "oh crap. I better pick a running back l" so I had to go down the depth chart a bit to pick one, bypassing several higher ranked WRs. That probably tanked my grade some.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I just looked and Denver and NE both have very similar QB strengths of schedule (16.5 v 16.3) and both are very favorable.

Yeah, I think I have to keep a QB or risk being screwed. Maye ran for more yards in a shortened season, with no designed runs, than Nix did. Maye can easily run for 6-700 yards this year. I may switch Nix to him.
