George is dead, call me back.

Just to let everyone know, this is all very FF related. In two of my leagues my team name is Kramerica Industries, due to there being a Darren in each of those leagues and me wanting to make him my intern.

My 2 QB league draft is tonight and it's already insanity. The first three picks might be Luck, Rodgers and Wilson. Throws off everything and makes it impossible to gameplan for.

[Keyz]

Wilson at 3.

as much as it throws everything off, that is incredibly in your favor.

[CrashDMB237]

I love this league for every reason that I also hate it. I honestly don't know that I could go back to playing in regular standard PPR leagues.

[sbuzzz]

Once you go 2QB you never go back.

Maybe I'm thinking about this incorrectly but couldn't you just load up at other positions and that would compensate for your lack of an elite QB?

This is what I have never understood about 2QB leagues.

Thats what I did last year. 10 team 2QB league, drafted wr/wr/wr/rb and ended up with Tannehill and Eki as my QB's. Crushed it.

Yup, and that's currently my personal strategy. A lot of people freak out and reach for QBs which leaves talent on the table. My plan is going Antonio Brown at 5, best WR available in the 2nd round, best RB or WR available in the 3rd round then get two mediocre QBs like Eli and Flacco when everyone else is scrambling for position players.

I went 3 WR in my first draft and it worked out great. Brown, Megatron, Edelman. Hurting at RB though.

the only time an early-round QB is necessary is when Passing TDs are 6pts. then, it becomes worth it to draft a Luck or a Rodgers in the first or second round due to the spread of passing TDs they'll likely have from the rest of the field.

David Cobb. My bad.

And also reason I like it is that I believe Luck, Julio, and Graham will lead their positions in fantasy pts.

My RB's are all a risk but if they stay healthy they should be good enough.

No worries, forgot about him for a minute.

Why do you like Graham to lead TE in fantasy production? Frankly I don't even know if he'll be top 5. It's Gronk and then everyone else for me

[hailtopitt]

Graham is gonna light it up in Seattle

if i was Russel Wilson it would be Beast Mode & Graham only when inside the 10

See below... Also seattle has no real threat at WR to steal targets from him. I expect him to be a big part of the play action game as well as huge part of their redzone O.

[ryguy469]

Hmm I guess Russ hasn't really had a redzone target like this before. Feel like he would need >12 TD though to be top 3. Don't see him with more than 800 yds this season.

[ryguy469]

Just looked at last year's TE fantasy stats. Julius Thomas 483 yds 12 TDs guess it's totally feasible Jimmy out does that.

lol right? plus think about all the other targets there were in Denver to take touches away from Thomas

i mean it's not a guarantee by any stretch, but i see Graham thriving in that offense

Well, I am glad my draft season is over. My 6th and final draft was last night.

I drafted the last 3 nights in a row and they were my 3 most important and biggest money leagues. Sunday night was an easy 10 teamer with 3 keepers each and done online. It was a piece of cake. Monday was an auction draft, 12 teamer, and it took over 3 hours. It was long. Last was my only live draft and is always the most fun but man, that was a full 3 hours, too.

I am ready for the season to start. Bring on the games.

10 / 12 are good
14 / 16 are too much unless you value the draft over in season moves. One injury kills you and the waiver pickings are slim to none.

Why the fuck did I draft LeSean McCoy?

Hey there, we have a Ants marching league on Yahoo.com with an open spot I think and roose13 said there are other leagues on here. So thats why I was going to ask if anyone in here is interested in joining another league. Its DMB themed the thread is here- http://antsmarching.org/forum/showthread.php?t=337595 There will be 12 people total and its not Ppr but has a Wr-Rb-Te flex position. The draft looks like it will prob be some time Monday but nothing has been finalized yet. Post your email or Pm me if you are interested please!

[gocubsgo3822]

Got aaron Hernandez. If he beats this muted wrap I will have an incredible weapon

[dmbredsox36]

Just completed my 2nd of 3 drafts, this one a .5ppr picking 7th. I don't know what to think.

I run this draft, so sometimes I was genuinely up against the clock when my pick rolled around, so I feel like I missed a few spots, but we'll have to see.

QB: Brees (8), Tannehill (12)
RB: Lynch (1), Ivory (7), Martin (9), Vereen (10), Blue (11)
WR: C. Johnson (2), Cooks (3), Matthews (4), Adams (5), Perriman (13)
TE: Kelce (6), Daniels (15)
D: Dolphins (14)

[CrashDMB237]

Just finished my big money draft. PPR, starting 2 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, TE and a flex:

QB - Rivers/Kaepernick/Winston
WR - Antonio Brown/Beckham Jr./Edelman/Brandon Marshall/Kendall Wright
RB - Jeremy Hill/TJ Yeldon/Vereen/Woodhead/Tre Mason/DeAngelo Williams
TE - Fleener
K - Bailey
Def - Chiefs (week 1 vs. Texans)

Love my WRs, a fan of my QBs, boom or bust RBs. My season depends on Hill and Yeldon breaking out.
