[BMAN]

He's wiping rosters, no keepers, fresh dynasty start.

He said its too hard to do keepers during the draft on ESPN.

Loves to complain about the commish "work" but makes things complicated and refuses help.

I’d get the fuck out of that league.

 

[BMAN]

Shifting my league to a keeper this year. Should I just continue this draft as business as usual? We won’t be selecting keepers until after this season.

It's my 3rd league, I don't care too much about it. I was only vested because I had Kamara and Hopkins as keepers last year (using a 12th and 3rd round pick respectively) though I blew the rest of the draft.

Depends on your keeper rules. Worth it to reach for potential in later rounds for sure.

If you're transitioning from a keeper league to a dynasty league, it only makes sense to allow teams to keep the same amount of keepers they normally would at the expense of that round pick in the start-up draft.

Further, if I were running the league I would base draft order in year one on average keeper ADP. Whoever keeps the highest-rated keepers gets the last pick in the first round (I assume you'll be doing snake for start-up and non-snake for rookie drafts as is standard in dynasty) and the first pick in the second, and so forth. The player with the worst-rated keepers gets the first overall start-up pick and the last pick in the second round. Base ADP on a popular site's dynasty rankings or on the actual ADP on whatever site you're using.

I joined an FFPC best ball superflex league that started drafting yesterday. We're about to start round seven and I have yet to draft a WR. This draft went QB crazy early, and since I am drafting near the turn (third overall, so I draft 10th and 3rd every turn) I pretty much had to take some QBs early to avoid getting screwed. Just to show you the state of the draft board right now, we're on pick 6.12 and the top four QBs available are Stafford, Mariota, Foles, and Dalton.



My draft thus far:

1.03 - Zeke Elliott
2.10 - Nick Chubb
3.03 - Todd Gurley
4.10 - Dak Prescott
5.03 - Kyler Murray
6.10 - Sam Darnold

Gonna grab my first receiver at 7.03 I suppose, unless I say fuck it and draft Miles Sanders, which is on the table if he doesn't get taken in the next three picks. Figure then I just grab receivers and TEs the rest of the draft until it's kicker and defense time.

Zero WR, eh?

Zero WR, eh?

Still a lot of good receivers on the board.

Kupp
Landry
Green
Robinson
Ridley
Davis

And on and on it goes.

Plus this is best ball, so I can draft a bunch of home run threats at WR and not have to waste my time worrying about which one to start any given week.

I am almost definitely going WR/WR at the next turn, though. Maybe WR/TE. Depends on if there's a TE run before my next pick or not I guess.

But I find you have to take the draft as it comes to you, and that's what I did. Chubb at 22 is great value, as was Gurley at 27. The stud receivers were all gone by then, so I figured I'd gamble on Gurley having enough good weeks to be worth the third round pick.

Note: Not gonna draft Landry, but someone will and it will push down a guy I actually want.

Could you explain Superflex and Auction draft for those who have not played in those leagues?

 

[FiveThous]

Superflex adds QB as an option to go with wr/the/RB. Auction is when someone nominates a player and people bid on them. It allows everyone a shot at CMC, Zeke or Saquon, etc

 

[Jack Brickman]

To add, superflex is basically an additional flex. So you'll have one regular flex (RB/WR/TE) and one superflex (QB/RB/WR/TE). The purpose of this is to make QBs more valuable to help reflect the fact that, in actual football, they are kind of important.

 

[Jack Brickman]

Zero WR, eh?

10 rounds in now and I've got Cooper Kupp, Robby Anderson, and Corey Davis, and I'm up again in four picks.

ETA: Grabbed Larry Fitz with my 11th rounder.

 

[Kouki]

first draft of the year, please validate me

QB Watson, wilson
RB Barkley, Dalvin Cook, Miller, Dion Lewis, Jordan Howard
WR evans, brandin Cooks, robert woods, aj green, corey davis
TE henry
D vikings
K butker

 

[Stark]

Only money league I'm doing this year, had a 12-team PPR snake draft tonight.

This league is a bit weird in that we have no flex position, and instead start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF every week, so WRs are at a bit more of a premium here.

I had the 7th pick:

1. Michael Thomas, WR
2. JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR
3. Stefon Diggs, WR
4. Marlon Mack, RB
5. James White, RB
6. Deshaun Watson, QB
7. Vance McDonald, TE
8. Will Fuller, WR
9. Latavius Murray, RB
10. LeSean McCoy, RB
11. Kareem Hunt, RB
12. Anthony Miller, WR
13. Justin Tucker, K
14. Jaguars, DEF
15. Kirk Cousins, QB
16. Trey Burton, TE

Liking my odds in this league, especially if my team holds up well enough for me to get Hunt back.

 

[Jack Brickman]

Through 17 rounds in this superflex best ball and my team is:

QB - Prescott, Murray, Darnold
RB - Elliott, Chubb, Gurley, Sanders, Ito Smith
WR - Kupp, Anderson, Davis, Fitzgerald, Moncrief, Deebo, Isabella
TE - Reed, Hockenson

Feel good about that roster. TE isn't great but I do think Hockenson is going to be good as a rookie.

Stacked at RB and got a good set of QBs and some solid best ball receivers.

 

[Jack Brickman]

Had a 2QB auction draft tonight. Standard scoring, starters are 2QB/3RB/4WR/1TE/1K/1DEF.

QB: Prescott, Newton, Haskins
RB: Mixon, Gordon, Michel, Sanders, Royce Freeman, Damien Harris, Hill
WR: Smith-Schuster, Kupp, Kirk, Sanders, Anderson, John Brown, Deebo
TE: Eifert, Andrews, Herndon
K: Tavecchio
DEF: Browns

I'm a little thin at QB, but other than that I love the depth on this team.
