Christian McCaffrey, Carolina Panthers

So it's a 4 team league?

Haha. I was thinking the same thing. There is no redraft league where you would have chance at both these guys.

even if it was re-draft, how do allow round 1 keepers.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

To the actual question, you’re WRs stink but everything else looks top shelf. At least you’ve got a bunch of receivers that have upside.

Maybe an auction. Only way to do it.

His receivers are awful. Thomas is hurt for probably at least a month and who knows the role with a new QB and a new OC plus all the fighting with the team.

I wouldn't want him as more than a WR 4. Smith and Hollywood are also on the shelf right now during needed camp reps.

Landry is his WR 1 and that is bad bad. I would never want two Raven's receiving targets on the same team. You can never start them together because there is no volume.

He should dump Drake and Fornette and handcuff his top 2 guys because if either of them go down, this is a last place team.

I am assuming he somehow went:

Round 1: Run CMC
Round 2: Kamara
Round 3: Allen
Round 4: Andrews
Round 5: Davis

Maybe it is a standard league and that is why both high volume PPR backs were there together and he basically punted WR.

Standard Super Flex might explain it as well. Why have Tannehill and Allen?

 

[Chris_Sanders]

ADP on those receivers in a non PPR would be:

Mike Thomas 60.7
Devonta Smith 81.3
Jarvis Landry 96.3
Antonio Brown 108.3
Hollywood Brown 109.3
Jaylen Waddle 113.3

Absolutely. But now do ADP on his RBs, QBs and TE.

Sorry, forgot and should have said it was an auction/$200 cap draft. I did the opposite of what I always do that usually wins me championship. Usually I don't bid on any of the expensive players (unless I can grab a 'steal' in the bidding of one, for the very reason one of you mentioned: IF he goes down, so goes your team. I always have a very balanced deep roster to begin with.

Just did the opposite this time, the way I see so many in all my leagues do, to see what would happen. Spent 70% of my cap on 2 players, and then 40% of what was left on a good QB and TE. It was then a matter of waiting until the other teams had spent nearly all their money and then scooped up the best $3-4 players I could with my remaining $30.

I doubt I will ever go that way again. I hate having all my eggs in one basket. Wanted to see what you all thought though.

Tannehill was a good safety net at QB for $3.

As far as WR, I went for Thomas and Brown who have potential of regaining very high WR1 or 2 ranking as season goes forward. Landry is a solid backup to WR1 in meantime. And of all the rookies, 1 or 2 have the potential of breaking out right away. There is always a couple eac year that do. Best I could do I feel with only $20 left (10% of cap) to spend on WR.

Sure but you should never build a team like that. It doesn't win because RBs are super volatile

In a league that moved to an auction a handful of years back. Absolutely the only way to do it. Always seem to like my teams better when I keep it balanced as you mentioned. Hard to survive if some of those big money guys go down or disappoint, due to reliance on them with more limited depth.

Oh god, please don’t start rate my fantasy team threads!!! The one thing that would make me leave this board!

Yeah huge gamble. But if they play to protection that team is likely a champion if wrs are streamed in even a slightly below average manner.

You don’t have to read them

Actually I looked for another section to put this thread in, but couldn't find any that looked like it had any traffic this year. I certainly don't mind the site manager to move it elsewhere.

I’d be fine with a fantasy football sub-forum or sticky thread to funnel the conversation somewhere. One of the reasons I left the Arizona Sports Fanatics FB group (I know a few people here are members of that) is that this time of year there would inevitably be a dozen “Look at my fantasy team and shower me with praise!” posts a day. (Not that I think this is what Sissy was trying to do, but didn’t want this to start the trend).

I’m not suggesting we ban fantasy talk altogether. But I’ll be very disappointed if a ton of separate “rate my fantasy team” threads start to pollute the main Cards board.

Maybe just a generic fantasy thread would help to avoid what you fear.
