It was surprisingly hard trying to draft on a phone whilst laying at the back of a minibus on a motorway.
My draft grade is incredibly harsh.
I'm quite happy with it.

That's the idea! Had to take him in the 2nd. I felt the WR depth was very good and Bell being my 3rd rounder, there's no way he makes it to round 4.Originally Posted by Dan
EDIT: @Gray Fox is going to be hard to beat with Zeke & Bell on the same team
How have I gone from being projected 7th in the draft window while we were doing it to it saying I drafted well and as one of the best few teams?
I drafted one QB, Yahoo. Settle down.Highlight Reel
Welby Wolves is loaded at QB, but RB isn't too shabby, either.
The draft window is just a total of all your players projections. It doesn't take into account that Mahow can only play 1 of his 3 QBs at any time. The new projections are based on your best weekly line up.
I'm open to trades for a RB btw.
Your RB & WR starters are probably the best in the league, but there are quite a few strong teams this year. I'm hoping that the depth & balance in my squad is enough to see me through - I have three of my top 21 WRs & four of my top 21 RBs, and Dalton & Eifert are 9th & 6th at their positions for me.
I think this was the first time I've drafted Davante Adams in all the drafts I've done (only mocks), so we'll see how that one plays out. Another 12TD season would be lovely.
So my draft schedule this weekend is:
12 team standard with a $30 buy-in at 3pm today
10 team 4th year IDP Dynasty at 11pm tonight
12 team first year IDP Dynasty (it's a tiered one too) at midnight.
Going to be fun.
I do think I got the rosters slightly wrong. They're in line with my other leagues but my other leagues are 8 team leagues and I didn't take that into account. I will probably edit them a tiny bit for next year, but not majorly.
I am also inclined to have a league vote on switching to PPR (for next year of course, not this one).
I'd vote for PPR.
I'd lean more towards 0.5 probably.
Help me figure this out guys...
I have both Luck and Mike Williams on IR currently but they aren't eligible anymore. I can keep them there as long as I want, but I can't add anyone until I activate them, so obviously that's not sustainable. That means 2 people are going to have to be dropped at some point. I'm interested in packaging whoever those 2 are going to be to another team to try and upgrade me Kicker and DST as he has 3 of each that are better than mine, and essentially I'd be upgrading "for free" and he has a lot of holes in his roster due to auto draft. But I need to figure out who those 2 people are. Options would be (and keep in mind this is a dynasty)
Gio Bernard (don't rate him this season but does have the talent to be big if he lands somewhere else)
Josh Gordon (no explanation needed)
Robby Anderson (Like him in PPR, at least until I see how shit he does)
Patrick Mahomes (Literally zero value this year.... could be huge in future, but unlikely to be interesting to this guy as he does have good QBs)
Ted Ginn Jr (just added him).
Not really sure anyone else is a viable drop at this stage.... so 2 of those have to go. That said I'd have to drop a 3rd to actually add anyone, but presumably it won't be long until someone "breaks out" and I want to waiver them over one of those names.
I would under no circumstances get rid of Mahomes or Anderson. They are more unknown quantities with much higher potential(Mahomes could take Smiths job at any time, Anderson is in a team that's going to be throwing from behind a lot). I'd suggest sending Ginn and Bernard.
I guess Sterling Shepherd and Kevin White could be in the equation but I think long term I prefer them.
3pm one is now at 9.
Yes for 0.5PPR, and keep the rosters large. Cut one flex and/or bench out if we can add another couple of teams, but otherwise I think it's about right - too much quality left on the waiver wire otherwise.
And @Browning, I'd drop Bernard & Gordon, but if you really want to keep Gordon then Ginn is the next one in line. Like GF says, Anderson & Mahomes are easily the best two players of the ones you mentioned first, while Sheppard & White could both have huge value, both now & over the next few years,
Probably going to do one or two random league drafts tonight - might look about to see if I can find some proper leagues to join, otherwise I'll just stick with whatever.
Oh shit. The Bills have waived Jonathan Williams.
I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING. AT ALLCould've done it 24 hours earlier you fucks. Gotta assume there's some kind of suspension/jail time coming his way. If not though, that seems mad.
Whatever you decide to do, I'm going to say I'll join but then make no further contact until draft night. Then I'm going to turn up at the draft and complain about all the rules and changes you've made.
We've already got someone for that role, thanks.
I've offered him Ginn and Gio for Seattle. He drafted Houston before Seattle so I'm assuming he considers them his 2nd choice. It's not a ridiculously good offer, but given her literally only has Powell and Murray as RBs (plus a few young back ups who likely won't see the field) I don't think it's ridiculous for him to take it. He probably could get better value for Seattle, but he'd have to go out and find it. I think in his position he should definitely be trading one of them away.
Not really worth going for a Kicker as I don't think he'll part with Gostkowski and his other 2 aren't really an upgrade on Prater (Vinatieri probably is... but he's so old).
Not fussed if he turns it down. The Panthers and Jags aren't great options, but they aren't terrible I shouldn't think.
Made a league with even bigger rosters than ours & more ways to rack up extra points. Didn't realise you can't change the league name.
Join if you want.Gonna go do a random draft now.
EDIT: First overall pick. Wonder who I'll be taking..
Not very happy after five rounds. Here's what I ended up with:
Toggle Spoiler
Good lad 'how. Will leave it until Tuesday afternoon & do the draft that evening, assuming we get enough teams.
Who do you want?
Hmmm.
There seemed to be a run on RBs that I had earmarked for my next picks during my long wait for a pick.
I'll try and dangle one of my QB's for a RB though.
Which league was that?
Mahow loves a bit of Jamaal Charles
12 team, $30 buy in with 0.5 PPR.
3 RBs, 5 WRs, 3 QBs, 2 TEs.
The PPR helps your WR there, but you need to sort out RB help sharp.
Mahow loves a lot of any and every QB. Why Wilson AND Rodgers (and Dak)?
He can have Cam Newton in the TTH league then.
Dak slid so far, I couldn't pass up that value.
With Rodgers I panicked after 6 of my targets were taken off between my picks.
Next draft in 5 minutes, @Dan would love the settings:
Julio, Odell or LeSean McCoy will be my pick.
Edit: Took Shady.
No points deductions for missing a PAT, what scrubs.
IDP points are pretty hefty:
Turns out I was looking at the wrong league settings.
This one has no PPR or funky stuff so I'd have taken OBJ instead of Shady.
If I do say so myself I think I've absolutely bossed my final draft of the year. It's a 2 QB PPR Keeper league..... my keepers were Kirk Cousins (Round 6) and Matt Ryan (Round 13) so my QBs were sorted... and it paid off big time.
My draft in order:
Mike Evans, Melvin Gordon, Doug Baldwin, Todd Gurley, Jordan Reed (had to reach here as all the good TEs were gone and I had my keeper next), Kirk Cousins (Keeper), Demaryius Thomas (what the actual fuck), Joe Mixon, Golden Tate, Jarvis Landry, Bilal Powell, JJ Watt, Matt Ryan (Keeper), Denver, Maclin, Tucker, Bradford, Riddick (Seriously....), Doyle, Britt, Santos, Minnesota (ridiculous value in round 22), Keanu Neal, Bortles and finally Wagner.
Some absolute steals in there.
Rosters are the same as my main league so QB QB RB RB WR WR WR TE FLEX FLEX DST K K and 3 IDP.... massive.
How does Demaryius reach round seven in any kind of PPR format?! Throw in Landry, Powell & Riddick and you have roughly half of the traditional PPR studs on one team
I've got that mental one now with the following positions:
1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex, 3 DL, 4 LB, 4 DB, 18 Bench.
Started well with Evans at 10 then Jordan Howard and Lamar Miller.
EIGHTEEN bench spots?!
I had no idea. I basically flipped a coin between Jordan Reed and Thomas at 5.... and when he was still there in 7 I just couldn't believe it. In between those picks the following went ahead of him where as I would have taken him with any of these picks:
Brady (Keeper), Newton, Dak, Stafford, Hyde, Benjamin, Cousins (my keeper), Luck, DeMarco Murray (Keeper), Miller, Parker, Hopkins, Winston, Rivers, Manning.
So a lot of people going QB helped (and explains why my 3-4 are so shite) but it's still mental.
It's 12 fucking teams too.EIGHTEEN bench spots?!
Fuck it.
It can autodraft the rest.
I'm already tired, there are about 30 fucking rounds left and everyone is taking about 95% of the time for each pick (90 seconds per pick ffs).
In any format, CJ Mosley is shit.
That's just not even fun at that stage.
Mosley (fuck you Browning) was my last pick.
Mosley is finished mate.
I had him last year in my IDP leagues and he couldn't even tackle.
Am seriously contemplating going with Lutz as my dynasty kicker over Prater due to him being 10 years younger. Just know if I do it now Prater will put up 20 points week 1 and Lutz will get 1 PAT all game.
Why is Kicker such a shit position in Fantasy?
In other news I've just noticed Mike Wallace and James White are both sat there on the Waiver Wire/Free Agents list respectively in my main league. That's tempting on both counts (though I wouldn't use my waiver on a Raven, ever). Unfortunately I don't have anyone to drop for them as my most likely candidates (Corey Davis and Eddie Lacy) both have insane keeper value if they pan out (Round 19 and Round 22) and I've been burnt big time by that before (dropping Freeman right before he broke out... handing him to someone for free and a Round 18/19 keeper.... ouch).
Because Tucker is practically the only decent kicker in the league?
He's also the only Ravens player Mahow is ever right about.
Mosley scored 164 points in regular IDP scoring.
So fuck you.
He had 54 solo tackles and 26 assisted. He wasn't in the top 50 in my league for points and he wasn't in the top 75 for solo tackles.
Shite.
Whoever else did the Pick'em agreed with me on almost every match, but I think team Auto Draft might overcome Baz.
