This went against everything I've learned and practiced in the over 10 years doing FF but after a few mock drafts, research, and reaching out to some people I know who have done it and had success I decided to try it out. Yesterday I had my draft in a league I've been doing since high school it's a 12-man standard 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR FLEX(WR,TE,RB) TE K Def. Points system is relatively the norm. Year after year this league is always RB heavy in the early rounds. You find out your draft pick once the lobby opens and I had #2. Here's my team in draft order.
2 Antonio Brown, Pit WR
23 Jordy Nelson, GB WR
26 Amari Cooper, Oak WR
47 Russell Wilson, Sea QB was going to wait for QB but Pass/Rushing QBs are big producers
50 Michael Floyd, Ari WR so at this point I knew I had to grab at least 2 RBs
71 Frank Gore, Ind RB Top 10 RB year in year out and doesn't get hurt downside he's a slow starter
74 T.J. Yeldon, Jax RB Jags did sign Ivory but Yeldon should get the early carries and passing downs
95 LeGarrette Blount, NE RB spot RB2 or Flex
98 Julius Thomas, Jax TE
119 Seahawks D/ST D/ST defense is another position which scores a lot of points in this league
122 Jimmy Graham, Sea TE back-up TE / Flex / Trade option
143 Tyler Boyd, Cin WR big value imo
146 Kirk Cousins, Wsh QB has one of the top 5 WR Corps in NFL
167 Spencer Ware, KC RB will Charles come back 100%?
170 Adam Vinatieri, Ind K
191 Terrance Williams, Dal WR logged out and auto drafted
Had the SBR PPR draft tonight and decided to go with the Zero RB again and I think this draft went much better than yesterday's with some of the same players in both leagues. Had the #2.
2 Odell Beckham Jr., NYG WR
23 Julian Edelman, NE WR
26 Alshon Jeffery, Chi WR
47 DeSean Jackson, Wsh WR
50 Melvin Gordon, SD RB
71 T.J. Yeldon, Jax RB
74 DeAngelo Williams, Pit RB
95 Julius Thomas, Jax TE
98 Kirk Cousins, Wsh QB
119 Jimmy Graham, Sea TE
122 Travis Benjamin, SD WR
143 Derek Carr, Oak QB
146 Texans D/ST D/ST
167 Justin Tucker, Bal K
170 Stevan Ridley, Det RB
191 Javorius Allen, Bal RB
Tonight's draft went great, it's going to be a fun season. I'll make updates weekly.
here's a spreadsheet I was given had SOS, Fantasy Pros list, as well as ADP Rankings.
