I am terrible at Fantasy Football!!!

Mahomes is so consistent, I don't know what I was thinking rushing to get Justin Herbert. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with my lineup, other than my players are all over the place and its not conducive to trying to watch and enjoy a particular game over the weekend.

Mahomes missed 3 games two years ago so it is not a bad idea to have a backup, but if you want to take the risk you could either drop him and get another player from the waiver or trade him for a piece you lack. After Brady was selected I was thinking on picking Herbert but you did it first and I had to pick Wilson.

Overall I am happy with the players I picked, however with the Odell pick I really ran out of time and I could have picked someone else if I had 10 more seconds, also all of you went heavy on TE as well, I was about to pick TJ but wheelz did so two picks ahead of me on the 11th round, when that happened I realized I had to go with 6 RBs and only 1 TE, so I am playing Gronk all season unless I can pick a TE from the waiver or I can trade for one.

Edit: Just realized the East division is completely stacked and I have the worst chances to make the playoffs, we have not even began playing and I am already close to being eliminated, so unless my sleepers hit and Wilson can play the whole season and not just the first half then it is already game over for me. Sad

According to the ESPN prediction thingy you and wheelz are the top dogs (pardon the pun) but someone said earlier that anyone has a chance to win until week 5-6 so I'm gonna go with that.

Someone drafted Trevor Lawrence before me. I am not sure if he was drafted before old man Brady or after him. I reckon he will be needing someone young because his knees might not handle a whole season. He is 43 years old?

That was me. I think it was many rounds after you got the old man. My primary is Lamar. I don't know how much sense it makes to have a backup QB but we'll see.

Hehehe okay. I liked my pick on Brady, however, after some rounds I remembered Manny Pacquiao. I thought that there might be a possbility of his decline this season. My first choice was for a reserve was Trevor Lawrence, second choice Stafford. Stafford might have a good year for fantasy according to experts.

No, you should absolutely drop Stafford, he's horrible and doesn't have a chance on the Rams. Hell he's got all those shitty receivers and such a weak O-line I don't know why anyone drafted him. Wink

You have probably the most interesting backup QB, the rookie boy wonder for Jax. One QB I am rooting for didn't get picked at all: Tagovailoa. But he will likely make a good pick up during somebody's bye week.

OK, I have had the worst draft but I think alot of these guys are underrated and will have bounce back years. I gambled on most of them grabbing them way before ADP and it shows on the overall weakness of my team. Looks like I was drafting for 2019 !!!!

Here is our week 1 matchups and as is plainly obvious I am WAY in last place! Cheesy

Here is our current playoff projections and I'm a Wopping 17% chance to make the playoffs!!!

I love a challenge!

In the covid Era, backups are huge. And then there's the teams bye week, and any week to week injuries. Having a decent backup for your positions is sometimes just as important as having a solid starting squad.

Right, but with 8 teams even assuming everyone drafted 2 QBs (which not everyone did as I'm looking through teams now) we would still have half of league's starting QBs remaining. I do envy Tamalpais Temptations QB picks though

But at least now I have someone I can cut to make room for a second kicker on a bye week.

NO! You guys have to keep 2 QBs so I have less to pick from.

Its all part of my master plan! Cheesy

Drafting Saquon in back to back days with my first pick, it's a make or break year not only for him but for me. "No risk it, no biscuit", right? I really need him to replicate his rookie year stats but that Giants team gonna suck, ahhh...i don't mind garbage time TDs though, i'm not picky. Grin

Anyways, how is everybody liking their squads so far? I swear i had 30+ mock drafts completed in the last few weeks, Dak, Mixon, and Allen Robinson are making my roster for the first time...Lol

I like my 12-team half ppr squad so much better, getting Diggs at 19, well below his adp/ecr, was amazing:

allen, diggs, diontae, barkley, jacobs, firkser with pittman/j.williams or waddle at flex

I swer you guys literally nabbed 3 or 4 guys the spot right before I was going to grab them!

what a fun draft I was yelling at you fuckers the whole time!

I don't think I've yelled "NOOOOO" at the screen more times in my life! Cheesy

Should be real interesting with me swapping out QB's along the way.

I missed 2 of them (Lamar and Wilson) right as they were about to hit.

You guys made some real outstanding picks and grabbed a few guys I thought I was going to be able to Snipe like Antonio Brown , Evans and Metcalf way before ADP.

Well Fuck Guys, I spent an hour or so yesterday editing my pre draft strategy list and just signed in to have the page open and its all gone.

Fuck didn't even notice you have to hit Save rankings button!

The goddamn button should not scroll off the screen as you scroll down or at least should prompt you.

Anyway just pointing this out so it doesn't happen to any of you guys especially if you just planned on jumping in there setting it and letting it auto.

Oops... Yeah I think it auto-saves in Yahoo if memory serves.

I thought it over and I'm not picking McCaffrey... so those down the draft line, do with that info what you will. I'd be a real stinker if I said all this just to do a head fake and draft him anyway, lol. Until then, get ready to draw!

Well guess I shoulda checked the thread right before the draft! Got waylaid for a few hours before hand.

You threw me a real curve ball there taking Henry when I though he was my first pick

Good times. Good score on Nick Chubb, I had him as my top RB, but knew it was a pipe dream.

In any case, my team for week 1. Win or no win?

Well, according to ESPN I'm the underdog:

It really was however it was also very challenging, when I practiced mock drafts I suppose a great deal of the accounts were bots as they were completely predictable on what they will do, but all of you were unpredictable, also that early run at QB forced me to change my game and I drafted a QB late on the 10th round, also something I did not notice at the time was that I drafted 4 questionable players, they are good but this is a huge oversight on my part.

Naahh... anyone (especially in a 8-player league) can theoretically still win all the way up until week 5-6 or so. Wait until then before letting the grim realities set in, which is why we collect payment ahead of time.

I just spent 2+ hours fiddling with the rankings and the sad part is that I'll probably do worse than the default ranks or even random picks Grin

One hour left.
