I think it's smart to load up on multiple QBs and TE's, depending on your QB and TE of course.

Jordan Mason doesn't exist apparently :/

I looked in to this a few days ago and passed. I'm not 100% sure how it works. Plus draft didn't start until it was full. What if it filled while I was sleep?

So yea I passed.

What's the concept?

You should be able to draft in best ball format with 30 seconds-2min. Mine usually start right away even though it doesn't accurately show how many people are left on the lobby page. I got confused about that as well.

The scoring in best ball, from what I understand, is done automatically. When you draft a team it automatically starts the player with the highest score that week. So you cannot manage your team throughout the year and there's no post draft transactions. Once you draft, that's it.

The 12 team leagues you might wait awhile so you have to pay attention. I tried to enter one league but it didn't fill up in time.There's a button in the corner to exit the draft and you won't lose your money.

we dont do kickers because kickers are f'ing stupid.

felt like i did pretty meh. picked #4 overall. went with Kupp

yes there is no waiver wire and no setting lineups

so they key is to diversify never get too many players on same team (outside QB) because only 1 person can get the yards and score/play.

Also keep in mind WR is the most volatile position in fantasy football even the best WRs have a few dud weeks a year so WR is the position you want to stock up on the most in. Make sur eyou draft multiple QB and TE ( at least 2)

Late draft don't go for safe guys go for guys who can potentially explode for big plays

because remember in best ball you dont have to set lineup you dont have to worry about putting the right starting lineup

Need a opinion on a starting flex guys. CEH from the Chiefs, Damien Harris, Christian Kirk, Michael Carter, or Devante Parker

Kirk for me. Seems to be Tlaws favorite target and they'll be losing.

I'd wait to see how Parker and CEH get used before I'd commit if I had your options

I drafted Deebo and/or Aiyuk with Danny Gray in several of my leagues. I drafted Gray with my last pick so I feel like if either go down that I'm still in decent shape.

But I see your point for sure.

My sleeper is Trevor Lawrence.. he's QB26 on yahoo fantasy per ADP.. 26!

The guy had generational talent as a pick and Urban Meyer was a clownshow.. he's been replaced by the guy who beat Brady/Belichick with Nick Foles.

I drafted Lawrence, Derek Carr, or Justin Fields as my backup in all my best ball leagues.

I must have done over a dozen mock drafts going into my draft last night. I don't think I took Trey Lance in a single one of them.

guess who I took in the top of the 10th last night.

12 team league 0.5 ppr, picked 11th, ended up with:

Jalen Hurts
Joe Mixon
Dameon Pierce
Davante Adams
AJ Brown
Kyle Pitts
Rashod Bateman
49ers D/ST
Dustin Hopkins

Jared Goff
DeAndre Hopkins
Raheem Mostert
Josh Palmer
Brian Robinson
AJ Dillon

Very solid team. I'm not sure you really need to have Goff on your team. I would look to add a another high upside sleeper and drop him.

This team is high quality. I have two goals in my upcoming draft get Hurts and whatever D faces the Jets week 1. Robinson may need a redshirt year on account of getting shot up FYI.. we are praying for him.
