As he should. No one else who I would want in a critical game to win but in terms of Fantasy there is way too many better people who can put up numbers.
Oof I'm not big on either of them. Mixon is probably the better talent.
So I am in a 10 team PPR league that heavily favors RBs and running QBs. I pick 8th. I know for a fact that Mahomes will be off the board and it's a good possibility that Rodgers will be too.
Should I take a chance on a top tier QB? Or should I go RB and then RB to make sure I get two high tier RBs?

Why take a qb early? You can easily get Goff and pair him up with one of the 3 wideouts from the rams at a much later round. Reap the rewards of tacos that reach for qbs early.
Also every draft goes running back heavy in the early rounds.
Tbh I had a shitty draft position and have terrible rb depth. I'm going to offer obj as hes my only real bargaining chip
I know that's why I usually go RB+RB but I was playing with the idea of going RB+QB/WR depending on who was available.
I was high on Kerryon earlier, but the way Matt Patricia uses him....yeah think I'm not drafting him.
What's heavily favors? Like the league favors these players or there are odd scoring implications?
I'd go RB/RB or RB/WR combo. Maybe Kelce if want to lock up TE.
Yeah in terms of scoring is what I mean. The top player in terms of overall points was Mahomes by quite alot. A top tier QB is the equivalent of a top WR or RB.

You gotta let us know the scoring, what kind of bonuses you're talking about and etc. Mahomes was the #1 overall player in standard scoring too, that doesn't mean he should be taken with a top pick.
I don't have the scoring in front of me. I'll have to grab it next time I log into the fantasy site.

so about that Vance hype.
Unless there are some big bonuses for QBs, I would stick to targeting one later in the draft. Especially on a 10 team league. Grab Kelce instead of a QB.
I'd probably do it. Not sure who is available in the 2nd round of this keeper but that could push it more in your favor.
Was thinking Josh Jacobs or David Montgommery at 2.05, which would essentially mean Saquan for OBJ, Josh Jacobs and Kerryon in a 5 player keeper. They should be there because most picks are locked up by people keeping players.
2 injury prone players and a 2nd for the best player in fantasy football? I personally wouldn't take it since it's a keeper league
Went big on the rookie running backs for depth in my ten team PPR league. I got David Montgomery, Miles Sanders, Darwin Thompson, and Alexander Mattison.
And none of those are starting because I also have Saquon and Dalvin Cook lol

Those are most draft dependent tbh. And while I still don't like taking a QB early, I'll target at least one in the mid-rounds or join the run on qbs when it happens.
hey everyone. I'm totally new to NFL (Australian) and don't have any idea how fantasy NFL works. I'm in a 10person cash league and my draft is tomorrow. It's ESPN. Can anybody give me a quick cheat sheet of the guys I should try to draft, and when to take them? I think I'm Pick 8 in the first round. I'm pretty desperate lol. I've read up on the main fantasy websites but I'm after a helping hand to guide me in the right direction personally (aka spoonfeed me). Thanks in advance
Man I'm in two big money leagues, one 12 team half point PPR the other a 10 team standard and I have pick 5 in both and I fucking hate pick five this year. The drop from Zeke/Alvin/Barkley/CM to guys like DJ and Gurley and Chubb just seems too large to spend a 5th pick on but it really seems like I should draft a RB. I'd much rather draft later where 0 RB makes sense.
OP

important things to remember: 1) don't draft a QB early. 2) draft only 1 QB/TE/K/DEF and load your bench with RB/WR
Lmao Mack was the other RB I was determined to get in every league. Nooooope.
Overall this is just...really bad for the league and the sport as a whole. Luck when healthy was one of the most exciting QBs to watch. It's hard to believe this is actually happening.

The Luck news is why I only do drafts that take place after preseason is over. I mean yeah that still could of happened then but it happened now.
I drafted Ebron in one of my sleeper leagues like an hour before the news broke.
Ya'll think I should stick with Josh Allen? QBs on the waiver
Cousins
Trubisky
Murray
Rivers

This is why it's always smart to wait until after the 3rd preseason game to draft a team. Never understood those who draft in competitive money leagues as soon as the registration opens.
Well in my case, we do a live draft and draft in person and the 17th worked best for us. I passed on drafting Luck due to his ankle though.
I'm sure the immediate urge is to fade all Colts, but we've seen this rodeo before. Mack's ceiling went down but his floor went up, because Brissett is going to force this team to run like the Niners did last season. Hilton is still draftable, but takes a 1/3rd hit to his value. And I would think large statue guys like Ebron maintain value simply because the goal here is going to be "be tall enough to catch the ball".
Of course, ADP will take a huge hit, but that's a great door to get value from. Feel free to look at these guys at less, but if you're getting them a round (or more, depending on the player) earlier, that's a win. Both the 2017 Colts (Brissett) and 2018 Niners (Mullins) were 4-12 teams but they still had plenty of fantasy action. It won't be pretty, but we can't all draft from elite offenses every round...
