The value you're getting for Chubb there is ridiculous
You gonna win
a relegation to the even worse league
After tonight, I think it's safe to say that Kyler's stock is going to drop a bit, and Andy Dalton probably wouldn't be taken in a 2 QB league at this point.
I wonder whose gonna fall to me at 6 now...
Murray stinking in preseason should worry people who might want david johnson...
And freaking zeke might be there too...

Couldn't watch any of the games, but sounds like the Cards are gonna be garbage. Was usually drafting Kirk in all my mocks if he was there but guess not anymore.
No buy in draft tonight.
Might draft Gurley or Zeke for the hell of it.
Gurley I think has been overblown about his knee but I might gamble on it with no stakes.

The answer is Chubb. Giving up a twelfth round pick for an RB that is at worst a second rounder. I'm assuming the drop of whoever you'd get in the first after giving up Saquon won't be as bad as the drop from Chubb to 12th rounder.
Nothing. Might effect the kid from ASU they drafted at the end of the first round though. Brady will never not throw to tiny, white receivers.
He went for basically nothing at a recent dynasty free agent auction. I'd be shaky investing anything too rich but he generally gets drafted at a price that doesn't have all his downsides baked in. Would anybody be shocked if he's suspended or released?
No buy in 10 team PPR squad.

that's a really nice team, but I really hate the Mike Williams pick, especially in full ppr.
Anyone have thoughts on draft order? I've been doing quite a few recently and have quite enjoyed being in the 6 or 7 spot. Allows to get quite solid rosters if you make the right choices. Been going with Hopkins or Adams at WR first round and a good RB (Cook, Gurley) is usually available by the time your next turn comes round.
I snagged Zeke and Cook from the 7 spot in a 12 man PPR league last night. Feel pretty good about it.
OP
OP
Places I'm enjoying more this season are top4 or late-round. The middle of the first round feels like a very weird place to draft right now with Zeke and Gordon holding out.
League of record money 10 team league

No K or DEF because it's week 2 of the preseason.

If you're playing in a 1QB league snake draft league, you're playing a kids game anyway.
Don't be a Ricky everyone.
OP

Really nice roster, you got a lot of value on that josh jacobs pick. Since you'll have to drop players for a K and def, I would rather roster a backup running back than Jamison Crowder tho, that way you got the injury upside at least.
Who else do you like the least? I'm thinking I'll probably ditch Sanders and Crowder but I'm waiting till the preseason is over.
OP
OP
I think you could hold onto Sanders for now. Rumor is he healed a lot fast from his injury than people expected and I think he'll even play tomorrow. So someone to keep a close eye on and see what he does in the preseason.
It's time floy, it's the year of the kicker, you can't fight it. They gonna do it this season!
If you wanna do a deep time on the NFL's premier position, this one of the Kickers to watch this year.
Yeah, I was shocked he went CMC over Barkley.
As for your question, I'd rank them like this
1. Kamara
2. Zeke
3. CMC
OP
OP
If you draft four kickers you will win your league
I guarantee it
As one of two late tight end grabs I can see it (tight end by committee). Wouldn't feel great if only had one of either of the above with no other tight end.
OP
OP
Reports from camp on Andrews have been great, but the question is is he going to be on the field enough to be a reliable fantasy player? Think I read somewhere he played only like 40% of the snaps of the 1st team offense so far in preseason. Even tho I like Andrews, I find myself taking a gamble on Reed or Darren Waller over him late in drafts.
I think it depends on the size of your league. Depth can be a little overvalued in smaller leagues, since there is still a ton of talent on the waiver and a lot of times you can end up having a great bench but struggling at TE. So if I'm playing on a 10 team league for example, I'm willing to overpay to get one of Kelce, Ertz, Kittle, Engram or Howard. QB on the other hand is so deep, I'm always gonna draft for value there. Never draft a defense early.
edit: Another time when I'm willing to reach for a TE and even a QB is if you're playing in a league with a lot of "casual" players. You know, people that sometimes forget about the waiver on Wednesday or shows up to the draft without knowing who Josh Jacobs is and etc. In that case go ahead an draft Kelce and Watson(Mahomes is probably going in the 1st round in this case) because you're gonna get so much value later on the draft that these reaches won't hurt you that much.

Damn - just found this thread!
It's pretty league-dependent, but I wouldn't want to be streaming all 3 on a regular basis. TE for instance doesn't have as much variability that it makes much sense to stream week after week, though there can be exceptions. Just try to find a good one if you're not going for the top. I wouldn't want my roster to be that volatile week-to-week.
The QB depth is unreal this year though, which is strange because well I don't think there are that many good actual NFL QBs. I'm in the camp that fantasy football needs to adapt the QB scoring. There's really no reason to stretch for one at all in 4-point leagues. I prefer 6 point leagues, though, and most of my leagues are that. Superflex, even better.

Sent my keepers in - Saquon Barkley (1) and Adrian Peterson (16)
Just waiting on to see who else has gone. Draft on September 1st. Getting excited for it now. I reckon in terms of fun it goes:
1. Prepping for draft
2. The draft
3. The actual season
😂

How do you guys feel about taking tight ends early? I got killed waiting so long to pickup a tight end that I couldn't get one that ever produced more than 5 or 6 points a game, if that. I always thought it was about as silly as taking QBs in the first round, but there are so few quality TEs that I'm starting to rethink strategies about drafting them early.
I either want a top 3 TE, or I'm waiting and taking a shot at a free one.
I'm think Herndon (after his 2 game ban) is going to produce TE1 numbers.
It looks like I'm alone with this notion. Lol

Same here. I'm 13 in my 14 team. Considering going Juju/Kelce and then hoping for the Ingram/Carson/Jacobs/Montgomery types at the 3/4 turn.
