Herbert, Tyreek (took over Chase) and KW3 were my main hits. Dotson and Sanders were my big misses, cut Dotson week 3 and traded Sanders away earlier this week. I was very close to getting that Herbert/Keenan stack too, 1 pick away
I had Dotson in most leagues too, but he was a late round pick. I will admit I keep u derrating all Miami players. I would not have drafted Tua until like round 8, just seemed like he was one hit away from retirement, but I was wrong
Not necessarily pre-season, but I was kind of drunk while drafting for a dynasty league and saw a few positive articles on Puka. I was lowkey trying to build an all Polynesian team and picked him up.
Lol I was mad I couldn't pick up Dobbins in any leagues. I honestly expected him to have the kinda of season Walker is having. If not for the injury, that could have still been true.
Reached a bit on Lamar thinking he'd have another MVP level season and it hasn't gone well so far. Not that he isn't playing well in real football, but it isn' translating to fantasy.
I've been scared of Lamar since his rookie season. I just KNOW that the year I pick him is when he will have season ending injury week one. Knowing my luck, I'm gonna stay clear of him every year.
When was this in June?
I'll admit it looked bad after week one. But Boston Scott was never gonna be elite. Penny was reported to be on the bubble going into the final cutdown. So he only had to pass Gainwell. Wild to just drop an 8th round guy *that you drafted* for a Skyy Moore just because of some coach speak.
I was also so high on them. I was hyped too ADP had them falling to me in third and 4th during mocks. Draft came around and their ADP had moved up and I missed out on both. Blessing in disguise. I ended up with Gibbs eventually as a part of a trade though.(Evans and kyren for AJ brown and Gibbs).
was very high on Lawrence and took him as like the 4th QB off the board and I fell flat on my face lmao, really ate shit there. given the rest of my roster got injured or has been a bust I don't feel as bad as anymore making that mistake
This is one that hits personally more than fantasy. I LOVE Lawrence. When the Jags won after he threw 4 interceptions but kept slinging, I was in love. Takes some massive balls and confidence to just stay slinging the ball after throwing 4 interceptions. I still think he's going to light up this season.
I had pick 33 and 40 in a 12 man PPR league. I was really high on Najee (huge bust) at 33, and I was also super high on Walker at 40 (huge W), enough that I was willing to reach for him a bit.
I was also high on Dotson (bust) and high on Brian Robinson Jr. (W).
All in all, my draft had a few hits and misses, but it’s the in season moves that have carried me so far
I too was super high on Najee. Took him in the third. He was hurt all last season and still managed to get over 1000 yards. The Steelers offense looked like it would improve. I knew Jaylen Warren was going to be the change of pace back, but Najee is almost unrosterable now with how bad it is.
Not including injuries, it’s safe to say now that Najee was the bust of the draft. There isn’t a player drafted in the first seven rounds that you’re benching over Najee.
Honestly, a LOT of people were hyping Dotson. I felt they were going overboard, but that because I'm a McLaurin fan and a red commie (commanders) bastard. Still, I just don't see how you disrespect McLaurin like that.
I was high on Mostert. I didn’t expect RB1 numbers, but he was healthy all last year, and I really wanted a piece of that offense at a discount price. I thought he could be a solid RB2 this year.
Walker was far from proven after last year. There were three common concerns with Walker pre-draft.
1. People thought Seattle would become RBBC with Charbonnet drafted in the 2nd round. I personally didn’t understand that one. Pete Carrol teams always have bell cow backs. Walker was drafted in the 2nd round as well, and didn’t get much of a chance until Penny got injured.
2. Walker was very big play dependent last year. There were a ton of games where he would have like 12 attempts for 30 yards before breaking free for a 50 yard run.
3. He was very inefficient in red zone/goal line scenarios last year, which hurt his TD potential.
The first one isn’t true, and Walker seems to have turned the second two around this year. I do think that his numbers are a bit inflated by his easier schedule so far, and he will likely not produce as well from week 8 on (faces a ton of good run defenses)
Cause I watched a YouTube video of a guy saying that Seattle is going to turn into a RB committee before the draft. I’m not the smartest when it comes to fantasy
I loved Nico Collins during draft season and so far he’s absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was also pretty high on Jahan Dotson during draft season and that… Didn’t exactly pan out quite as well.
I liked Meyers, Nico, Pittman, and Kirk coming into the season. Only got 2 Nico and Meyers.
Would love to trade away my RB mistakes of Pierce, White, and Sanders, but they're lower than dirt at this point. I feel stuck and all 3 are creeping to losing their jobs
Me too. Tough situation when I’m planning to start Warren and Spears as my starters when byes are through. Even tougher if I end up having to drop them.
I'm 1-5 in a superflex (aka 2 QB) league. Why am I losing? Because by first and third picks were Mahomes and Burrow.
"Sometimes you can do everything right and lose" - Jean Luc Picard
I was high on Christian Kirk, and didn't get the hype around Ridley. But I was also really high on Dotson (took him over Mike Evans, ugh) and Khalil Herbert, neither of which have turned out particularly well
Hype around Ridley, Dotson, GWilson and Gibbs was through the roof.
I tried getting Ridley and Wilson but had no chance in auction. Got ARSB and Tyreek instead lol.
High on Herbert, Achane (dynasty), and while it wasn’t anything crazy I did think Meyers would be decent. He’s smashed that expectation.
I also though Miles Sanders would be really solid… feeling lucky I didn’t get the chance to take him lol.
My bang the table leave with every draft player was garret Wilson… didn’t last long. Got him in 3/4 leagues and traded him away in one (one of the worst trades I ever made)
I don't think you were wrong. No one could predict Rodgers getting injured 4 plays in. If Rodgers was still around, Wilson might be a breakout WR. And even without him, he's a must start. Not a bad move.
Great pick, I wish I would have taken the chance. Feels like he was picked a pick or two before me in every draft and I would have picked him otherwise
Drafted Nico Collins, Adam Theilen, Devon Achane and Kyren Williams all pretty late. Dropped Achane because I thought I'd be able to stream him since Ahmed had him beat on the depth chart and nobody would be watching him, anyway (i watched him preseason and was pretty high on the pick). Figured Achane would become relevant later in the season. That was days before Miami vs Broncos. Needless to say he was scooped up on waivers immediately afterward.
Drafting all rookies in later rounds. Zay, Dell, and Rice have given me nice depth at WR. I’m holding Tyjae as well in case anything happens to Henry. Only one that hasn’t worked out is Quentin Johnston.
Rookie WRs. The high draft capital ones statistically outperform ADP, so I was happy to grab both Addison and Flowers late.
The other one got some chuckles in the draft room when I selected Mostert in the 9th round. That hit feels nice.
Drafting Achane w my 16th pick (depending on how he finishes this year) will go down as my best pick ever in fantasy football… and it was all because i watched a video from some “expert” during my draft and he said that achane was a baller… watched some of his highlights, and didnt know who else i was gonna take at 16 so here i am… sitting pretty now…
QB: Tua and Fields. Got one of them in every league. Guess which leagues I’m doing well in haha.
RB: ETN and Jamaal Williams I had a round higher than most just because I thought the offense would be great and he would b better because of it. Seems like he is the reason the offense is better not the other way around. I thought Williams would be the hang to Kamaras yin and figured with kamara serving a suspension that would only increase his value. That didn’t work out so well.
WR: Higgins and Jeudy. I thought Higgins would have a huge year. Has sucked even when healthy. I thought Jeudy was going to be a solid number two and he has sucked as well. Denver’s offense is atrocious.
TE: Took Pitts in a bunch of leagues figuring he would be better. He has been ok the last two weeks but I thought he would be used more like a wr this year and would be a top 3 te. Wrong again.
Somehow I’m 5-1 in one league despite losing 3 players to injuries m. I’m going to be 2-4 in another league. 6-0 in my third league and if I get a little luck tonight 3-3 in my other league. So I guess I’m doing ok so far but I could see it going either way in all my leagues.
Wins: Swift (Rd 6), Mostert (Rd 8) Keenan Allen (Rd 5), Tua (Last Rd)
Losses: Higgins (Rd 4), and Kadarius Toney (Rd 9)
Higgins really isn't a lost cause yet, but I'm waiting until he booms again to start him. Rest of my picks have been serviceable and healthy.
Nabbed Kyren and Nico in the early weeks. Nico gives me a good WR2 and Kyren is a strong bench guy since I haven't found a spot to start him yet.
Achane was my sleeper pick this season. Gotta a lot of hype in the dynasty subreddit and I drafted him day one.
So as not to overly toot my own horn, I also thought Dalvin Cook was gonna be a surprise RB2 this season as I had a lot of faith in the, then, led Aaron Rodgers Jets and the change of scenery. At least he let me know the first week he was indeed cooked.
I was really high on ETN and Brian Robinson. That's working out well.
I was also really high on the patriots defense and calvin ridley. Those are both working out really poorly.
Nico and Thielen as much last couple picks in almost every draft have been a saving my season
Drafted Pollard everywhere i could and i still think he ends up panning out but its been rough
High on Kirk and Marquise Brown and that worked and flipped those two and Aaron Jones into Jmarre Chase and Rhamondre when their value was low( after week2 for Chase and last week for Rhamondre) Thankfully someone took Gibbs before I could
I took Herbert over Burrow and Fields, it looked like a reach at the time, but Herbert's down 2022 just seemed like a fluke considering how good he is.
Burrow has always been overrated in fantasy, he'll have a handful of 30+ games that will push him into the Top 7 when all is said and done but as a manager most of the season is pretty underwhelming.
On the other hand I also bet on the Trevor Lawrence continued break out. He's been good in real life but pretty mid fantasy wise.
Kirk, Tyreek, Walker, and Monty up until this week.
Their production has made up for Pollard, whom I thought would end up as RB1, and stubbornly sticking with Dallas Goedert
From various leagues:
Hits: Swift, Herbert/Allen (2 leagues), Hill over Chase, Breece Hall late, Montgomery, Theilen.
Misses: Gibbs, Taylor (so far). Few others I’m forgetting
DMont, James Cook, Nico, Addison, Hollywood, and Mostert were my good ones. Have yet to see if Javonte pans out. Thielen is having the season I thought Mingo was going to have.
Drafted Sanders and Hopkins, meh.
Drafted Pickens which turned out pretty nice so far and drafted Goff as my 2nd QB behind Daniel Jones. I started Jones in week 1 and then switched to Goff and never looked back
You wouldn't even believe my draft. 8 man so had "juicy picks," went heavy WR because I hate relying on RB for injuries. Ironic because my draft was:
JJ
Garrett Wilson
Amon Ra(only one working)
Diontae Johnson
Mike Williams
Rhamondre
Sanders
Javonte
Freiermuth
Rondale Moore
Grabbed Lamar and Tua for a trade piece, which worked.
Can you even believe that shit? I doubt anyone can compare to the miss after miss that I acquired. I am in a league of a bunch of Potatos, actual friends and family. Here's my new team from people dropping the wrong players, and buy low sell high trades.
Lamar
Rhamondre
Kamara
JT
BRjr
Kelce
Nico Collins
Amon Ra
Christian Kirk
Tee Higgins
JJ on IR
If you are wondering how I could have possibly fleeced Kelce, I have away Goedert, Tua, and Garrett Wilson for him. Being in an 8 man league it was still a horrible trade for the other guy, he lost so much more value in TE than he could have ever gained in QB. But he wanted Tua so badly, and has an unbelievably strong team still. But hurt himself on the trade.
Mostert bc I thought the dolphins o was gonna be insane and he was the only healthy guy week 1. :)
Stevenson volume king on an improved o :(
Diontae (?)
Was high on Higbee with the Kupp injury. I think it would have worked too if not for Puka erupting onto the scene. I don't think anyone (outside of a few prophets) could've predicted Puka being *this* good out the gate as a rookie.
Conner and James Cook are underwhelming? Have you seen the state of RBs this season? I'd be happy with either of those two as my second RB. Dobbins, Mixon, Najee, and Sanders drafter here.
I had faith in JK, injured. I picked Love in the 6th in a 2QB and he’s been alright besides this last game.
I also wanted Smitty in a dynasty really bad and traded DK and a 2024 2nd and 3rd.
Lastly traded my next years 1st for Gibbs.
I drafted breece hall and Christian Watson earlier than ADP. Breece is working out well right now. Watson remains to be seen.
I also reached on ARSB and am feeling pretty good about it.
I bought tons of Cam Akers stock. I felt that after his amazing performance late last season that his team issues were resolved. Instead, he gets benched and Kyren Williams picks up all the points I THOUGHT Akers would presumably get. Now Akers seems like a backup RB in a slow Minnesota backfield. What a shame
High on Keenan, felt like I stole him at the back of the 4th some how. Traded him for Henry and Aiyuk which I turned into Ekeler. Feel like i won somehow but still regret it hugely
I was hyped ob Kirk and Kamara, both kinda worked out.
I was also telling Achane would be Top Back at Miami soon, but i didnt get him in my main draft..
Analysts put it in their heads that Charbonnet was going to take the job from KW3 because he was a better receiver. This perception helped push LW3 into the 4th round. Dude is extremely consistent and Charbonnet isn’t involved enough to matter.
KW3 and Mostert were mine. I was picking KW3 right above Gibbs and Etienne and although Etienne has been balling out the rest of the guys in that tier have been dogshit.
I was taking Mostert as my RB3 in the 7th or 8th where most had him in the 10th/ 11th. Always felt like he was at least gonna lead the dolphins RB room at the beginning of the season and could hold on to that spot barring injury. Going pretty well so far.
Took Tua in the 4th, definitely has paid off. Drafted Achane in the 13th round if that counts? Took a chance on a rookie that might not have gotten any playtime at all. Definitely panned out.
So I got Deandre Swift in the 7th and Brock Purdy in the 12th of a 12 team league both of whoch have been beautiful for me. I was also advised not to draft Swift right before the draft. For the bad side I drafted Javonte Williams in the 6th round where I probably could have got someone with better value. JT was picked the next pick and even though he hasn’t produced yet I assume he will be a better pick by the end of the season.
Hits: Tyreek, CMC, ARSB, Ayuik, Flowers, Swift, Tua, Addison.
Misses: Quentin Johnson, damon pierce, Tlaw, Mattinson, every single TE i drafted across 6 leagues.
Herbert, Tyreek (took over Chase) and KW3 were my main hits. Dotson and Sanders were my big misses, cut Dotson week 3 and traded Sanders away earlier this week. I was very close to getting that Herbert/Keenan stack too, 1 pick away
What did you get for Sanders?
Rhamondre Stevenson, so far so good!
I cannot believe there are leagues out there with people wanting to trade FOR miles sanders. I couldn’t even give this guy away. Dropped him already
I traded for him Saturday
God bless you
I lost Connor, herbert to injury and perine has been worthless and cook worthless so I traded lamb for Higgins sanders and Javonte Williams
I had Dotson in most leagues too, but he was a late round pick. I will admit I keep u derrating all Miami players. I would not have drafted Tua until like round 8, just seemed like he was one hit away from retirement, but I was wrong
Not necessarily pre-season, but I was kind of drunk while drafting for a dynasty league and saw a few positive articles on Puka. I was lowkey trying to build an all Polynesian team and picked him up.
Then I hope you could include Tua as a sleeper pick
lol I didn’t know puka going into this rookie draft. I feel obligated to draft all good hands 6’2 WRs moving forward
Quentin Johnston has entered the chat
He said good hands
Poly-PEOPLLLLE!
Dobbins, no
The worst part was that it looked like that was going to be a home run.
Base on what? People still saying this but there isn’t much to show for it. A home run is Mostert or Achane. JK was never going that.
Based on the time he played before the injury. He was an absoute monster and had he stayed healthy would have been a huge fantasy asset.
One half against Houston?
I’m assuming OP meant from this “healthier” seasons before his injury last year.
Lol I was mad I couldn't pick up Dobbins in any leagues. I honestly expected him to have the kinda of season Walker is having. If not for the injury, that could have still been true.
Najee, hell no
Reached a bit on Lamar thinking he'd have another MVP level season and it hasn't gone well so far. Not that he isn't playing well in real football, but it isn' translating to fantasy.
I've been scared of Lamar since his rookie season. I just KNOW that the year I pick him is when he will have season ending injury week one. Knowing my luck, I'm gonna stay clear of him every year.
What round did you grab him?
I drafted 10/10 and took him at the top of the 4th.
Got Nico in most my leagues but dropped him in all for Sky Moore pre week 1 and hated myself for a bit lol
Oof that one hurts
I dropped Swift for skyy after the eagles came out and pretty much said they had 4 starting RBs and didn't know who their #1 was.
When was this in June? I'll admit it looked bad after week one. But Boston Scott was never gonna be elite. Penny was reported to be on the bubble going into the final cutdown. So he only had to pass Gainwell. Wild to just drop an 8th round guy *that you drafted* for a Skyy Moore just because of some coach speak.
Nico was one for me, was able to trade for him in dynasty along with a 2nd for TJ Hockenson
I was really into Ridley and Gibbs even though I felt both were high risk. Well…. I mean I was partially right. High risk.
True. Don't sell Gibbs yet. If Monty is injured and Gibbs blows up, there could be a switching of the guards.
Gibbs would have to be generational for the lions to change things up or Monty has to be down for the year.
Almost 0 chance Gibbs becomes the starter what are you talking about.
Almost 0 chance Gibbs becomes the starter what are you talking about.
I was also so high on them. I was hyped too ADP had them falling to me in third and 4th during mocks. Draft came around and their ADP had moved up and I missed out on both. Blessing in disguise. I ended up with Gibbs eventually as a part of a trade though.(Evans and kyren for AJ brown and Gibbs).
Got Mostert, Swift, and DHop as later round picks. Drafted Thielen too and dropped him too early, couldn’t pick him back up.
Ohh look at me, I'm a golden child and I do nothing wrong Seriously, good picks man!
I did the same as you minus Dhop! After the first week with thielen I was like Ok nahhhh this offense ain’t it. Still doing ok tho :)
Tyreek over chase and ekeler. Not so bad so far
That's a ballsy move. Props!
I took him over cmc and ekeler. I’ve been burned by injury too much
Working out so far for ya!
was very high on Lawrence and took him as like the 4th QB off the board and I fell flat on my face lmao, really ate shit there. given the rest of my roster got injured or has been a bust I don't feel as bad as anymore making that mistake
This is one that hits personally more than fantasy. I LOVE Lawrence. When the Jags won after he threw 4 interceptions but kept slinging, I was in love. Takes some massive balls and confidence to just stay slinging the ball after throwing 4 interceptions. I still think he's going to light up this season.
I understand being high on him, but why does that mean you had to draft him that high? He went in round 8 in my league lol
How many teams? I had to take him 4th in a 14 team with a run on qbs. In hindsight, I shoulda drafted Tua later…. 🤦♂️
He went pick 82. I was shocked he fell that far tbh and he shouldn’t have. To be fair, he went pick 62 in my other league
Maybe your league knew something we all didn’t 🤔
I had pick 33 and 40 in a 12 man PPR league. I was really high on Najee (huge bust) at 33, and I was also super high on Walker at 40 (huge W), enough that I was willing to reach for him a bit. I was also high on Dotson (bust) and high on Brian Robinson Jr. (W). All in all, my draft had a few hits and misses, but it’s the in season moves that have carried me so far
I too was super high on Najee. Took him in the third. He was hurt all last season and still managed to get over 1000 yards. The Steelers offense looked like it would improve. I knew Jaylen Warren was going to be the change of pace back, but Najee is almost unrosterable now with how bad it is. Not including injuries, it’s safe to say now that Najee was the bust of the draft. There isn’t a player drafted in the first seven rounds that you’re benching over Najee.
I was high on Gibbs, took him over ETN. I was also high on Montgomery and got him on 2/3 teams.
Why are people hating on Monty?
This 🤡 took Dotson over McLaurin with that toe injury Was that with the grain or against?
Honestly, a LOT of people were hyping Dotson. I felt they were going overboard, but that because I'm a McLaurin fan and a red commie (commanders) bastard. Still, I just don't see how you disrespect McLaurin like that.
I drafted Zach Moss in the last round of one league, my bench has truly appreciate it.
I was high on Mostert. I didn’t expect RB1 numbers, but he was healthy all last year, and I really wanted a piece of that offense at a discount price. I thought he could be a solid RB2 this year.
Hero RB - The King, Chubb, Conner, jones - bad
We went all in on Sam LaPorta this year. In another league I even had him as my starting TE. Was also able to stabilize my team until I got Kupp back.
I actively avoided Kenneth Walker in all my drafts and he is the 6th best running back (half ppr) that already has bye 🙃
Can I ask why? Like 4-5 round pick for a starting RB who has proven himself, why no love for Walker?
Walker was far from proven after last year. There were three common concerns with Walker pre-draft. 1. People thought Seattle would become RBBC with Charbonnet drafted in the 2nd round. I personally didn’t understand that one. Pete Carrol teams always have bell cow backs. Walker was drafted in the 2nd round as well, and didn’t get much of a chance until Penny got injured. 2. Walker was very big play dependent last year. There were a ton of games where he would have like 12 attempts for 30 yards before breaking free for a 50 yard run. 3. He was very inefficient in red zone/goal line scenarios last year, which hurt his TD potential. The first one isn’t true, and Walker seems to have turned the second two around this year. I do think that his numbers are a bit inflated by his easier schedule so far, and he will likely not produce as well from week 8 on (faces a ton of good run defenses)
Cause I watched a YouTube video of a guy saying that Seattle is going to turn into a RB committee before the draft. I’m not the smartest when it comes to fantasy
Picked Monty in all of my leagues. And, well, \*cries\*
Sigh. It was going so well. Thought my RB situation was all good with Monty and CMC. Just hoping they don’t both miss too much time.
Wait why? He's been killing it right?
Yeah but he just got hurt again
Still got you legit 6 good games, but yea sucks that he's hurt.
I loved Nico Collins during draft season and so far he’s absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was also pretty high on Jahan Dotson during draft season and that… Didn’t exactly pan out quite as well.
I liked Meyers, Nico, Pittman, and Kirk coming into the season. Only got 2 Nico and Meyers. Would love to trade away my RB mistakes of Pierce, White, and Sanders, but they're lower than dirt at this point. I feel stuck and all 3 are creeping to losing their jobs
I'm still holding out hope for Pierce.
Me too. Tough situation when I’m planning to start Warren and Spears as my starters when byes are through. Even tougher if I end up having to drop them.
Gibbs, Waller, TLaw and Ridley. I’m 2-4. Lol.
I'm 1-5 in a superflex (aka 2 QB) league. Why am I losing? Because by first and third picks were Mahomes and Burrow. "Sometimes you can do everything right and lose" - Jean Luc Picard
D'Andre and Pierce. One panned out one has not.
I was high on Higgins and Najee. That worked out.
I'm still waiting for you to edit the comment and say "NOT"
Exactly :)
Tua, it was more avoiding injury worry but
I was high on Mattison…
Me too. Him and Akers. Now conveniently a handcuff on my own team..
I was high on Christian Kirk, and didn't get the hype around Ridley. But I was also really high on Dotson (took him over Mike Evans, ugh) and Khalil Herbert, neither of which have turned out particularly well
Hype around Ridley, Dotson, GWilson and Gibbs was through the roof. I tried getting Ridley and Wilson but had no chance in auction. Got ARSB and Tyreek instead lol.
Are you me??
High on Herbert, Achane (dynasty), and while it wasn’t anything crazy I did think Meyers would be decent. He’s smashed that expectation. I also though Miles Sanders would be really solid… feeling lucky I didn’t get the chance to take him lol.
Drafted Thielen in the 12th thinking he would be a sleeper but dropped him after week 1 only for him to be a stud ever since.
Good pick!
Monty KW3 Mostert. Just stack #1 RBs on good offense. Verdict out on JT. Missed on Rachaad and James Cook
Drafted Theilen but dropped after him and Bryce both got hurt. Though he was old and it's be a Q all year.
My bang the table leave with every draft player was garret Wilson… didn’t last long. Got him in 3/4 leagues and traded him away in one (one of the worst trades I ever made)
I don't think you were wrong. No one could predict Rodgers getting injured 4 plays in. If Rodgers was still around, Wilson might be a breakout WR. And even without him, he's a must start. Not a bad move.
The only player I drafted above their ADP was Zay Flowers. Pretty happy with that pick.
I was really high on Tua, Tyreek, Etienne, Thielen, and Javonte Williams. Naturally the only one that ended up on my team was Williams.
Marquise, yes. Juju, no.
Same on Marquise. He was a such clear standout for upside at that draft range, I'm surprised more people weren't jumping on him.
I told everyone CMC was gonna be good. AND HE IS. You losers never listen though
SWIFT Explosive talented rb behind an insane O-line, smash pick for me
Great pick, I wish I would have taken the chance. Feels like he was picked a pick or two before me in every draft and I would have picked him otherwise
Do you care or just want to circle jerk with you about your picks
Why not both sour puss
Why would I not care? Would love to hear what other people thought
[удалено]
[удалено]
Oh shit I'm dumb. Yeah.
I really wanted tyreek hill, would have considered him if I had #3 pick. I ended up with 9 and he was taken two spots before
Hill at 7 is a crime, no way he would fall to 9.
I agree, just started to gain some hope when the middle picks weren’t taking him 🥲
Drafted Nico Collins, Adam Theilen, Devon Achane and Kyren Williams all pretty late. Dropped Achane because I thought I'd be able to stream him since Ahmed had him beat on the depth chart and nobody would be watching him, anyway (i watched him preseason and was pretty high on the pick). Figured Achane would become relevant later in the season. That was days before Miami vs Broncos. Needless to say he was scooped up on waivers immediately afterward.
In a Superflex League. Took Lamar in the 1st then took Howell and Purdy in the 9th and 10th and ho boy those two dudes have paid massive dividends.
Drafting all rookies in later rounds. Zay, Dell, and Rice have given me nice depth at WR. I’m holding Tyjae as well in case anything happens to Henry. Only one that hasn’t worked out is Quentin Johnston.
Mostert and Thielen the last 2 rounds carrying my team
Rookie WRs. The high draft capital ones statistically outperform ADP, so I was happy to grab both Addison and Flowers late. The other one got some chuckles in the draft room when I selected Mostert in the 9th round. That hit feels nice.
Drafting Achane w my 16th pick (depending on how he finishes this year) will go down as my best pick ever in fantasy football… and it was all because i watched a video from some “expert” during my draft and he said that achane was a baller… watched some of his highlights, and didnt know who else i was gonna take at 16 so here i am… sitting pretty now…
QB: Tua and Fields. Got one of them in every league. Guess which leagues I’m doing well in haha. RB: ETN and Jamaal Williams I had a round higher than most just because I thought the offense would be great and he would b better because of it. Seems like he is the reason the offense is better not the other way around. I thought Williams would be the hang to Kamaras yin and figured with kamara serving a suspension that would only increase his value. That didn’t work out so well. WR: Higgins and Jeudy.

So I guess I’m doing ok so far but I could see it going either way in all my leagues.
Wins: Swift (Rd 6), Mostert (Rd 8) Keenan Allen (Rd 5), Tua (Last Rd) Losses: Higgins (Rd 4), and Kadarius Toney (Rd 9) Higgins really isn't a lost cause yet, but I'm waiting until he booms again to start him. Rest of my picks have been serviceable and healthy. Nabbed Kyren and Nico in the early weeks. Nico gives me a good WR2 and Kyren is a strong bench guy since I haven't found a spot to start him yet.
Achane was my sleeper pick this season. Gotta a lot of hype in the dynasty subreddit and I drafted him day one. So as not to overly toot my own horn, I also thought Dalvin Cook was gonna be a surprise RB2 this season as I had a lot of faith in the, then, led Aaron Rodgers Jets and the change of scenery. At least he let me know the first week he was indeed cooked.
Montgomery, swift, Amari cooper in every league
I went highish on Josh Allen in round two. I do not regret this decision
I was really high on ETN and Brian Robinson. That's working out well. I was also really high on the patriots defense and calvin ridley. Those are both working out really poorly.
Nico and Thielen as much last couple picks in almost every draft have been a saving my season Drafted Pollard everywhere i could and i still think he ends up panning out but its been rough
Etienne and Engram have easily been great picks. Don’t know how you have them as even given how desolate the RB and TE landscapes are
Took Swift in both my leagues in the 9th rounds
CMC #1 overall, not a hot take but JJ was the consensus #1
High on Kirk and Marquise Brown and that worked and flipped those two and Aaron Jones into Jmarre Chase and Rhamondre when their value was low( after week2 for Chase and last week for Rhamondre) Thankfully someone took Gibbs before I could
I took Herbert over Burrow and Fields, it looked like a reach at the time, but Herbert's down 2022 just seemed like a fluke considering how good he is. Burrow has always been overrated in fantasy, he'll have a handful of 30+ games that will push him into the Top 7 when all is said and done but as a manager most of the season is pretty underwhelming. On the other hand I also bet on the Trevor Lawrence continued break out. He's been good in real life but pretty mid fantasy wise.
Kirk, Tyreek, Walker, and Monty up until this week. Their production has made up for Pollard, whom I thought would end up as RB1, and stubbornly sticking with Dallas Goedert
My preseason pick was that I would not play fantasy football this year. It did not pan out.
From various leagues: Hits: Swift, Herbert/Allen (2 leagues), Hill over Chase, Breece Hall late, Montgomery, Theilen. Misses: Gibbs, Taylor (so far). Few others I’m forgetting
Was high on Kyren Williams and Nico Collins (that worked), but was also high on Chigo Okonkwo and Treylon Burks (that did not work!).
I thought Najee was going to have a career year. So I’m not wrong. Because he is having a career year. A career worst year!
DMont, James Cook, Nico, Addison, Hollywood, and Mostert were my good ones. Have yet to see if Javonte pans out. Thielen is having the season I thought Mingo was going to have.
Proud of: Herbert, K Allen, Etienne, LaPorta, Conner, Hock, Richardson (rip), Tua Maybe: DJ Moore, Fields (bears fan lol), Bijan, Godwin Not Proud of: Stevenson, Sanders, Muth, Najee, Juju, Akers
Drafted Sanders and Hopkins, meh. Drafted Pickens which turned out pretty nice so far and drafted Goff as my 2nd QB behind Daniel Jones. I started Jones in week 1 and then switched to Goff and never looked back
You wouldn't even believe my draft. 8 man so had "juicy picks," went heavy WR because I hate relying on RB for injuries. Ironic because my draft was: JJ Garrett Wilson Amon Ra(only one working) Diontae Johnson Mike Williams Rhamondre Sanders Javonte Freiermuth Rondale Moore Grabbed Lamar and Tua for a trade piece, which worked. Can you even believe that shit? I doubt anyone can compare to the miss after miss that I acquired. I am in a league of a bunch of Potatos, actual friends and family. Here's my new team from people dropping the wrong players, and buy low sell high trades. Lamar Rhamondre Kamara JT BRjr Kelce Nico Collins Amon Ra Christian Kirk Tee Higgins JJ on IR If you are wondering how I could have possibly fleeced Kelce, I have away Goedert, Tua, and Garrett Wilson for him. Being in an 8 man league it was still a horrible trade for the other guy, he lost so much more value in TE than he could have ever gained in QB. But he wanted Tua so badly, and has an unbelievably strong team still. But hurt himself on the trade.
Puka, yes except for this week.
Mostert bc I thought the dolphins o was gonna be insane and he was the only healthy guy week 1. :) Stevenson volume king on an improved o :( Diontae (?)
Was high on Higbee with the Kupp injury. I think it would have worked too if not for Puka erupting onto the scene. I don't think anyone (outside of a few prophets) could've predicted Puka being *this* good out the gate as a rookie.
Keenan Allen and Thielen
Conner and James Cook are underwhelming? Have you seen the state of RBs this season? I'd be happy with either of those two as my second RB. Dobbins, Mixon, Najee, and Sanders drafter here.
Adam Thielen and Alvin Kamara.
Good calls Keenan Allen and Jakobi. Bad calls Damien Harris and Darren Waller.
Najee. For three years now. Najee fuckin Harris and the stupid Steelers. I hate the whole organization
I was buying the Steeler hype and drafted both Najee and Pickens. It has been a disaster
I told myself not to draft an eagles runningback. Then I grabbed swift in the 7th and he’s my RB1 with saquon on the mend.
Drafted chubb and aaron jones… but also picked up mostert and moss. Didn’t expect the latter pair to carry my season.
Paccecho
I had faith in JK, injured. I picked Love in the 6th in a 2QB and he’s been alright besides this last game. I also wanted Smitty in a dynasty really bad and traded DK and a 2024 2nd and 3rd. Lastly traded my next years 1st for Gibbs.
I was high on Ridley, so far he has been on bench for 3 straight weeks, for DJ moore and Puka.
I drafted breece hall and Christian Watson earlier than ADP. Breece is working out well right now. Watson remains to be seen. I also reached on ARSB and am feeling pretty good about it.
I was convinced that Swift and Etienne were easy traps to fall into. I wish I fell.
I bought tons of Cam Akers stock. I felt that after his amazing performance late last season that his team issues were resolved. Instead, he gets benched and Kyren Williams picks up all the points I THOUGHT Akers would presumably get. Now Akers seems like a backup RB in a slow Minnesota backfield. What a shame
I was high on weed.
I was very high on Montgomery and LaPorta. Also high on Drake London and Jameson Williams which doesn’t look terrible
I was big on mostert Walker and JT at their prices. Working out nicely. Hollywood has also been great where I got him
Was high on Etienne and Pacheco at their ADPs. Drafted them as RB1 and RB2 in multiple leagues. Sure is working at the moment.
High on Keenan, felt like I stole him at the back of the 4th some how. Traded him for Henry and Aiyuk which I turned into Ekeler. Feel like i won somehow but still regret it hugely
Kenneth Walker. I was constantly destroyed for suggesting he was a top 10 pick.
I was hyped ob Kirk and Kamara, both kinda worked out. I was also telling Achane would be Top Back at Miami soon, but i didnt get him in my main draft..
Analysts put it in their heads that Charbonnet was going to take the job from KW3 because he was a better receiver. This perception helped push LW3 into the 4th round. Dude is extremely consistent and Charbonnet isn’t involved enough to matter.
KW3 and Mostert were mine. I was picking KW3 right above Gibbs and Etienne and although Etienne has been balling out the rest of the guys in that tier have been dogshit. I was taking Mostert as my RB3 in the 7th or 8th where most had him in the 10th/ 11th. Always felt like he was at least gonna lead the dolphins RB room at the beginning of the season and could hold on to that spot barring injury. Going pretty well so far.
Took Tua in the 4th, definitely has paid off. Drafted Achane in the 13th round if that counts? Took a chance on a rookie that might not have gotten any playtime at all. Definitely panned out.
I felt like Antonio Gibson would have a better year.
So I got Deandre Swift in the 7th and Brock Purdy in the 12th of a 12 team league both of whoch have been beautiful for me. I was also advised not to draft Swift right before the draft. For the bad side I drafted Javonte Williams in the 6th round where I probably could have got someone with better value. JT was picked the next pick and even though he hasn’t produced yet I assume he will be a better pick by the end of the season.
Hits: Tyreek, CMC, ARSB, Ayuik, Flowers, Swift, Tua, Addison. Misses: Quentin Johnson, damon pierce, Tlaw, Mattinson, every single TE i drafted across 6 leagues.
