Fantasy Football Discussion Thread - 2019 Season - Year of the Kicker!

Duke Johnson Jr traded to the Texans. Great pickup for them. I know Miller is consistent but I'm gonna reach a bit for Duke in all leagues.
Also just in real life terms, what a get for Houston. Fills one of the only holes on O they had. If Fuller can stay healthy, that's a scary group of skill players.

I can't remember a season when the Browns were a joke that Duke ever did anything noteworthy. Only once did he have a season with over 1,000 total yards from scrimmage. I think he's going to be a 3rd stringer at best.
Do we do a fantasy league around here? I'd love to take part in it. Started a new job last year and nobody cared there and they don't care now.
Started listening to the Fantasy Pros football podcast. Fun to hear some football talk even though aside from some of the basic tips and speculation it all seems kinda pointless as various people will get injured, others will surprise in team depth charts. Almost seems pointless to even worry about anything until the week of your draft to just quickly summarize who is injured/holding out/suspended/will break out/will take a backseat. Hell the only thing I will need is some chart to know who are the running back cuffs. Everything else you can almost wing the day of the draft by just having the fantasypros rankings sheet open in a side tab.
Guess I just miss regular season football and anything will beat the Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith type of drama talk shows I often see on Fox/ESPN.

Drunk drafted on Saturday after determining the order through numerous shots, went 7th in a 14 (!) person PPR league, snake draft:
1. Deandre Hopkins
2. Damien Williams
3. Aaron Jones
4. Josh Jacobs
5. Allen Robinson
6. Baker Mayfield
7. Christian Kirk
8. Geronimo Allison
9. Austin Hooper
10. Desean Jackson
11. N'Keal Harry
12. Chris Thompson
13. Duke Johnson
14. Giovani Bernard
15. Quincy Enunwa
Reasonably happy, not entirely sold on Hooper as TE but that far down the list grows thin, what can you do?
Had to cut Jackson & Enunwa already to pick up DEF/kicker.

That's a nice roster. I personally wouldn't have gone for Baker on the 6th or Hooper on the 9th, but otherwise, I like your picks.
Lot of risk with your rbs tbh. They have upside but williams, jones, and jacobs are either going to be huge for you or let you down completely. Kirk is a good get in the 7th and allison is great as well. Your depth in a 14 person league is rather solid with some nice hand cuffs with upside (duke was a great pick at that spot). Sucks you had to drop your 10th for a defense but what are you gonna do.
I made a Sleeper account because of all the good word of mouth......but it's not user-friendly at all I don't know what the fuck I'm doing LMAO

oh yeah, I was lost when I first started using it. Just go to the channels tab and make sure you're subbed to the alerts channel, that's the only one I leave notifications on
Hah, thinking back Baker was reactionary, I was irritated that 6th picker snatched Deshaun right before me in that round.
Same thing happened last year not by choice! Had Mack, Jones & Carson (who turned out great tbf) as RB workhorses, did make the final though (albeit from snatching Chubb off the wire)!
It takes a bit but it's so useful. Once the season starts I get so many good notifications before anyone else on my league, also once you draft you can get alerts about specific players etc. FantasyLife app does alerts too, I use it too sometimes. I'm also crazy and get alerts about all the things lol.
Thanks guys, what confused me was trying to do a custom mock draft, I got so lost lol guess I'll just fiddle around with it.
Looks like I should at least use sleeper for the alerts.

I have a draft Friday and Saturday.
I'll probably forgo kicker and defense this early in the preseason
One is a no buy in league so I might just get nutty with that one.

What site has a good draft app that you can set custom scoring? I usually make my own VBD draft sheets but I'm getting too old for that.
Also looking for weekly lineup features and I have an auction draft this year.
I've used Rotoworld forever but wanted to change things up this year.

Footballguys draft dominator. Have been using and I like it.
Can you do 16-team mock drafts on Sleeper? Seems like you can only do up to a 14 team mock draft on Yahoo

Dammit so I was set on getting Kamara at 3 but a guy just traded up to get 1st overall and he's in love with Kamara so now I'm probably looking at CMC or Zeke...
It's gotta be CMC right?

what's the scoring? Also, I'm not touching Zeke right now with any top5 pick until he shows up for camp.

Full point PPR. I really can't lose with CMC or Saquon but I'm pretty sure I'm getting CMC.
Little concerned about these reports he might lose goal line work but I'm sure he'll make up for it with his receptions.
My draft is next weekend - 4th pick. Is Zeke going to show up or do I need to look elsewhere? Honestly I am not thrilled with the wr's that I could get here. I feel the guys I can get in the 2nd are pretty close to what I am getting here. If Zeke is still holding out and the other big 3 rb's go off the board I may take Mahomes. Guys is a freak.
OP

we could see a TD regression but he should be at least close to double digits TDs
Depending on the scoring, I'm going either David Johnson or Nuk there.
Yuck. I am not big on Johnson in this offense and I hate taking a wr that early. Ugh - I may trade back lol.
Yeah in my scoring system he was like 150 points better than the next QB. In all of the mocks I have done the WR's in round 2 who come to me (one of Tyreek Hill, Juju or Evans is always there) and they were close or better last year than Nuk. I'll prob just take Zeke and pray as I am a RB heavy drafter.
Also the guy drafting ahead of me is a Cowboy fan so I may luck out.
Really disappointed that Evan Silvas top 150 is behind a 30$ pay wall now. That list was always super helpful and guided me to back to back championships but I don't know if I can justify paying 30$ for a draft kit when my total buyin is only 100$
Good lord ESPN's email system is a mess right now. I've come to find out that a bunch of managers in my leagues didn't receive my league messages at all and didn't even know I reactivated the league until one of the few people that did get them let them know... Now I'm having to replace a couple managers but they don't get the invite emails and one of them needs to reset their password but doesn't get the confirmation email with the verification code from ESPN to do it...lol what a mess. Having him contact support and I think I have an alternate invite method that might work but yeesh! Now I doubt many will pay before the draft. Sigh.

absolutely.
This would be an absolutely awful decision. You draft QBs late. Always. No matter what
