Fantasy Football Discussion: 2021

[Doomsday Dallas]

My top 8 picks:

1. Cook
2. CMC
3. Henry
4. Kamara
5. J.Taylor
6. Chubb
7. Zeke
8. Barkley

assuming A-Rod settles his dispute with the Packers, you can put D.Adams or A.Jones at #9 and #10.

What's the highest you'd pick Kelce, dooms?

What's the highest you'd pick Kelce, dooms?

I've considered taking him at #9

already done a mock draft with me taking him at #9, didn't look like a good team on paper though.

I think I have him currently ranked at #16

9. D.Adams
10. Diggs
11. T.Hill
12. A.Jones
13. Metcalf
14. J.Jefferson
15. Ridley
16. Kelce


D.Waller is the TE to target in the 4th round... and maybe K.Pitts in the 6th round.

it looks like there will be a serviceable TE to choose from in the late rounds, like one of the Patriot TEs for example (Hunter Henry or Jonnu Smith) so you can probably get away with taking one in the 10th or 11th.

I don't play ff, but I got talked into a work league this year. Was thinking about picking Kelce with my first round pick, but I guess I won't now :lol

I'm drafting tonight @ 7 spot. Planning to take tyreek/Ridley or Diggs in the 1st two rounds. Kittle or Andrews in the 3rd or 4th round, Robinson or Montgomery in the 3rd or 4th round, and then some combo of Sanders, Gaskins, Henderson, gus Edwards, or mostert in middle and late rounds. Hope I can grab jalen hurts and Robby Anderson as well. Then take some lotto picks real late.

Everybody is going so heavy on RB, and past the top 5 they really aren't much better than some of the guys you can get later. Just my opinion.

Waller is going top 25 in every mock I've done. Kittle and Andrews are going a tad bit later.

Waller was mocked as a 3rd/4th rounder when I made that post... dude went #13 overall in my $ league.

I had the 6th spot and decided to take a chance on D.Adams knowing A-Rod won't be a disgruntled employee.

Only a 10 team league this year but here's what I got when I drafted a week ago:

1. D.Adams
2. T.Hill
3. JK Dobbins
4. Clyde Edwards-Helaire
5. DJ moore
6. Julio Jones
7. Russell Wilson
8. MG III (Den RB)
9. Javonte Willimas (Den RB)
10. Dallas Goedert
11. Gus Edwards
12. Brandon Cooks
13. Michael Carter (Jets RB)
14. Marquez Callaway - New Orleans WR


Luckily I picked up JK Dobbins's Handcuff in the 11th round... paid off the same day I drafted.

I have 4 elite WRs, a potential super sleeper at TE, a solid QB, but am super week at RB.... should've done my homework on CEH's injury.

What I have learned over the years is that it's easier to find a RB in FA/Waivers than it is a WR... mainly due to injuries.

I plan on starting 4 WRs all year long... take my chances on the dog$hit I have at the RB spot (only need 2).

Yup...you usually won't stumble on an elite WR1... like NYG Odell or something, nor will you stumble on an elite TE1. So I prioritized WR/TE over RB with a late pick. I'm not taking Jonathan Taylor when tyreek is on the board. Ended up with:

Lamar Jackson (fell to me in 6th round had to do it)
Tyreek Hill
Calvin Ridley
James Robinson (in the 4th)
Darrell Henderson (in the 5th)
Kittle (in the 3rd)
Robby Anderson
Melvin Gordon (not sure why hes so undervalued)
San Fran D

My RBs aren't great but I have positional advantage in literally every other spot.

Boys play against him next week... will keep my eye on him.

potential weapon for RB/WR... Falcons could start using him more.

[Im so nba'd out]

I drafted 2 wrs in the 1st two rounds and im 0-2 + hate how my team turned out...I dont see me doing this again. I will be taking a rb for now on with at least one of them picks and i won't be drafting qbs inside the 1st 7 rounds anymore either

I took tyreek in the 1st and he seems to be paying off lol.

I mean, he didn't do $hit in weeks 2 & 3, but getting all those points in game 4 like that definitely pays off for tie-breakers down the road.

so far I'm having one of those unlucky seasons where I have the most points scored against me but I have the 2nd highest point total. (1-3 record).

Just glad I picked up Cordarelle... he could save my season.



Thinking about trading Davante Adams & CEH for Dalvin Cook & his handcuff Mattison.

He dropped 30 in the first game and 40 in the fourth. Carried teams to auto wins. If you look at top receivers ~ adams, Hopkins, diggs, Ridley, etc taken in 2nd round they've all busted far harder. Tyreeks ceiling is unmatched. He's the WR1 in football right now. Imagine taking Jonathan Taylor or Chubb with a late 1st round pick when you can have the positional advantage of having the best WR in the league.

Tyreek is a beast and I have no problem with crowning him #1 fantasy WR, and I think massive upside boom/bust guys like Tyreek who are capable of winning a week single handedly are undervalued in general... that said its probably a little early to call adams, hopkins, and diggs busts (I'm fine with giving Ridley the bust label tho).

[clipps]

Always draft early RB's. Wait on QB. Get some okay WR's. Wait on TE every time. Stream defense and kickers.

[Nanners]

IMO if you are giving yourself rules like drafting all WRs or RBs early, you are drafting wrong. I have seen teams win championships drafting RB with their first 3 picks, I have seen it with people drafting WR with their first 3 picks, I have seen it with people who took mixed positions with their first 3 picks... the only rule you should follow for your early picks is never ever take a QB early.

Theres no one strategy thats going to win every draft. If you have a top 3-5 pick you should probably take a bellcow RB, if you have the 12th pick WR/WR might make a lot of sense. Drafting a TE early is usually a bad idea, unless its Kelce who regularly gives you a ~5-10 point advantage over every other TE in the NFL (a HUGE weekly advantage if you can do well with the rest of your draft).

I subscribe to the no qb's early and I want some variety. Always feels like i get stuck with ****ing kirk cousins :lol

I used to wait till the bitter end for QB's just like TE's and would be stuck with trash like Goff, Cousins, and stuck with streaming QB's which is a losing strategy. I started drafting QB's in the mid rounds (6-8 rd, 10-12 ppl) last year. Had Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson last year and Justin Herbert in 2 leagues and Brady in one this year... I wanted Herbert instead of Brady(I'm also a Chargers fan) but someone used a 4th round pick on him. Herbert has been a massive hit and Brady has been stellar except for his return to Foxborough and have winning records in all 2 leagues. As for TE's, I did target Hock with a mid to late pick and I'm really regretting it. From now on, I'm gonna treat my TE slot like a D/st and Kicker. I much rather stream TE's than my last flex spot or QB or god forbid an RB or WR slot.

I was being a bit vague. You obviously want to consider value, but 99% of the time, 3 of my first 4 picks will be RB's and I'm very selective of those RB's. In my 3 leagues, I have A) Derrick Henry and James Robinson, B) Derrick Henry and Najee Harris and C) Austin Ekeler, Najee Harris, and James Robinson.

[tpols]

Luck really does play a huge part in it. So many 1st and 2nd round busts every year. If you took CMC or Cook with a top pick youd be having a losing season to someone who drafted Mike Williams or Patterson in the 10th rounds most likely. Don't even get me started on TE, Kittle and Waller busting while kelce has recently been held in check. Shits just a dice roll week to week.

I have no problem starting supposed scrubs over studs if the context is right because of the boom bust nature. My top 3 picks will likely be out this week (tyreek, Ridley, and kittle) along with potentially mike will. I have Waddle and Hardman on the bench though in fantastic situations. Tyreek and Mike Williams are top 5 WR on the season but have had 4 and 1 point games respectively. Any given week is a crapshoot given context.

According to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, Tyreek Hill isn’t expected to miss time after he sustained a minor knee injury in Sunday’s loss to the Bills.

I need T.Hill to be a force this weekend. Hope he's not slowed down by that injury.

will be starting both MGIII and Javonte Williams against LV this week. CEH on IR. Patterson on BYE.


for my second flex it's either B.Cooks, Julio, or Z.Moss... not sure who to gamble on.

[Doomsday Dallas]

The TE spot always ends up being a b*tch.

was somehow able to pick Gronk up in FA this week, have him sitting on the bench

starting Ricky Seals-Jones against KC this week. (Logan Thomas out for the year)... serious gamble.




Could gamble on Dan Arnold Jax this week ... The Jags gave up a 2020 1st round corner for him, 64 yards last week.


the Panthers traded tight end Dan Arnold and a 2022 third-round pick to Jacksonville for cornerback C.J. Henderson and a 2022 fifth-rounder.

CJ Henderson went #9 overall in the draft, T.Diggs went #51.

Jacksonville needs this Dan Arnold guy to be a badass cause they just gave up last years #1 top 10 pick for him... crazy.

DJ Chark out and TE O'Shaughnessy out for the year.


With Gronk on the bench... dropping Dallas Goedert (assuming the Eagles don't have any offensive injuries tonight) for Dan Arnold is not a bad idea.

I mean... how could Jacksonville not use him after making a trade like that? just wouldn't make any sense.


need Fournett & D.Smith to fail tonight.

[Nanners]

I subscribe to the no qb's early and I want some variety. Always feels like i get stuck with ****ing kirk cousins :lol

Maybe dont wait quite that long :oldlol:

Its fine to take a QB in the mid rounds, i'd just avoid it in the first ~4ish rounds.

[Doomsday Dallas]

I need DJ Moore to do something against the Vikes.... like right now.

and then I need MGIII and Javonte Willimas to destroy Las Vegas.


and then maybe... just maybe I'll survive this week.

[Doomsday Dallas]

Can't believe Cooper Kupp is the best fantasy WR right now.

late 5th round pick in my league.

[Nanners]

Pick 3 of these 4 players to start this week

Darrel Henderson vs Tennessee
Nick Chubb @ Cincinatti
Jamar Chase vs Cleveland
AJ Brown @ LA Rams

[warriorfan]

Brown is banged up, and they will be missing Henry which will hurt their overall offense while the Rams have a good defense as well. Even though he has potential for a big game with the Titans possibly throwing more due to no Henry and the fact the Rams will be putting up points….I would still go with the first 3. Safer picks in my opinion.

appreciate the feedback. :cheers:

I agree with warriorfan, would have to go with the first 3.

[Nanners]

I dont like that both of yall agree with my original decision... seems like that pretty much guarantees AJB will have his third 10rec 150yrd 1TD week in a row

I tend to like the safer points as opposed to risk/reward.

RBs tend to be more steady on delivering 10 or more points a game... WRs can be more boom or bust.

I don't think I could put Chase on the bench after what he's been doing.

Henderson has been delivering all year like Chase, so it came down to Chubb vs AJ Brown who have been injured, I'm not about to have a top-10 pick on the bench for a WR that could have Jalen Ramsey covering him all game, and is questionable, and didn't practice on Friday.


The Rams and Titans each have some injury concerns heading into Sunday’s game at SoFi Stadium, with several starters listed as questionable or already ruled out for Week 9. On the Rams’ side, four players are listed as questionable, all of whom are starters: Robert Woods, Von Miller, Jalen Ramsey and Ernest Jones.

Sean McVay said Friday that Ramsey and Woods are expected to play, but he was less sure about Jones and Miller; he said Miller will be a game-time decision.

The Titans added A.J. Brown to their final injury report, listing him as questionable with a knee injury. He did not practice Friday, nor did tackle Taylor Lewan, who is also questionable.


I suppose you do have to factor in the fact the Titans will be without Derrick Henry... so somebody has to step up. But I'm not putting Chubb, Chase or Henderson on the bench for AJ Brown.

[Nanners]

I 100% agree with everything you are saying dooms... which is yet another reason why I feel like I am gonna regret benching AJB :oldlol:

i hope you dont take it personal when I blame you for putting brown on my bench after he has a monster game this weekend
