***Fantasy Football Thread***

I need to find a back-up or Kittle who might not play this weekend now . Who would you pick up out of these TE's: Hooper, Fant, or Everrett?

Also I need to drop one of these to pick up a TE. Who would you keep long term - Rams D or BAL D?

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

Sermon?

Can you believe he was still available!?!?

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.

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

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.

Just adding on here.. I'd go min 3 QB and 3 TE. Unless you get one of Kelce/Andrews/Pitts who are guaranteed production everygame, I'd pass on the mid tier TEs as they can have games with zero points. Take 3 upside guys who might go off on any given day; it's best ball, so you don't have to be responsible for choosing the right one to start each week. As mentioned WR are volatile, so try to stack them with your QB. That way, if the QB had a huge day, the receiver did also, and vice versa. Late round, take swings on "league winners.". Either handcuffs who are one team injury away from massive opportunity, or guys with high value touches. Remember, most times, opportunity trumps talent.

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

I also picked 11 in one of my 12 man leaguea. No chance of AJB and Pitts being there at the 3-4 turn and I wanna say Pierce and hurts might have also been gone at the 5-6 ):

You didn't mention him, but I'm assuming TE selection is lacking. I'd go Mo Allie-Cox (colts) if available.

Rams D is playing NFC and AFC west; something to consider.

Good point on the Rams D.

Actually Mo Allie-Cox is available. You think he balls this year with Ryan throwing? Hunter Henry is another available on waiver right now.

I don't think he balls out, but right now, no telling how long Kittle is going to be out. I do think he has touchdown upside in a pinch, and I think colts play the Texans week 1?

10 Team standard scoring league
My RB's - Zeke , Mitchell, D Harris, Patterson, Mattison

Should I drop Mattison for Melvin Gordon III (someone dropped him and waiver pickup for 9/9)?

Baldie.. your D is the same as your name.. BAL D

I'd keep Fant crap QBs lean on the TE which Geno will probably do.. and BAL D

Mattison and Gordon are both top 12 RB if Devonte or Cook get hurt . But Gordon is possible flex start even with Devonte healthy

Gordon IMO

I picked up Cooper Kupp, so my fantasy team name is now 2 Girls 1 Kupp

Yeah I was surprised I got Pitts and AJB at those slots. All my practice drafts had me ending up with Devin Singletary and Courtland Sutton (or some other comparable receiver). Looking at the recap there was a mini-run on RBs in rounds 2 and 3 and I see the following receivers were picked before ABJ, wow:

Keenan Allen
Tee Higgins
DJ Moore
Mike Evans
Terry McLaurin
Michael Pittman

After I got ABJ I had to make sure there was nothing going on with him that I wasn't aware of (injury, off-the field issue, etc.). Anyway, you never know.

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.

Thanks, and yeah the pickins were slim at that slot. I was thinking Deshaun Watson provided Hurts lasts until week 14 without issue but other than Watson, I'm looking at Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz, Ryan Tannehill, Daniel Jones, Marcus Mariota, Davis Mills, etc. I figure Goff might blow up every now and then with all the weapons he has and he can run for tds when needed.

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.

Thanks, got lucky. I moved Robinson for a backup TE (Albert O. from Den). Mixon, Pierce, Dillon and Mostert should be able to hold the fort for a long time *anti-jinx*.
