Sucking horribly is definitely on the low side but I'll give you a break and make the terms not below 50%.

Specify your definition of sucking not horribly and the amount you're willing to lose on this

I think he should trade him so as not to have to go through this kind of stress anymore, I bet the Kittle owner would be interested!






SEE, now this is why I thought you were
BurrowHead in the draft chat!

I agree Burrow is a top 3 QB IRL, just not in fantasy.





It will be fun watching him v/s NE defence, too bad NE's Offensive is horrible. Should be a lopsided match and my guess is low scoring as Eagles will not have to do much to win that one.





I'll take that bet.

Just to be clear, I was being sarcastic... Lions will suck horribly, that's a safe bet any year.


Great start to the season, congrats Hueristic on an easy win

My worry with Hurts is new coordinators this year and them changing shit up to match up their own agendas. Burrow is a beast and has been since college, but 2 years 2 injuries scares me. Love your upside analysis on Hurts here though. Definitely agree as long as OC doesn't calls crap games.

IMO Burrow is the second best QB on the planet, and I don't think it would have been that crazy to take him over Hurts.  Sure Hurts provides more upside due to his rushing ability, but I'm not ready to crown him a star player yet until I see another year or two of proven passing ability.  Burrow has more than proved that, as the most accurate passer in the league. 


Anways..1 day now to opening game !!!!

Thanks for my first draft guys!

Finally got some sleep!

---

I saw some reports today that Kelce is still questionable because of his injured knee.
Just a reminder for you @suchmoon. It's the opening game tomorrow!!
You should consider to change to ur 2nd TE which is Everett to gain some points.

I dont think that he will play in the opener. Of course its important to get a great start in this year season but I wouldn't risk one of the key players being out for the whole season because of an early game.

Remember that this is a PFFD league, Running QB's that get first downs put up more points than the run of the mill pocket passers.

Wide outs like Diontae Johnson that couldn't get a touchdown to save their lives and only look good because they get all the targets show their true colors in PPFD format.

We all got 1 or 2 really good players or players that had good stats last year, but that's not what's going to win. Who found the needles in the haystack is what's going to win. I took Hurts just because of the run attack over Burrows and his possible injuries. With the Eagles schedule this year, Burrows may have been the better pick. We will get a better picture over the next few weeks and should start to see some people looking for new players.

Oh shit if you had taken Burrows over Hurts we would have NEVER let you live that down!!!!

You did make a QB run happen sooner and caused me to lose my train of thought and change tactics which ended up causing em to timeout and get Evans instead of Robinson so even though you didn't plan it your ripple had a huge butterfly effect!

Everyone was snagging all the good wide receivers and running backs so I decided to snag a decent qb before they were all taken. I would have taken Burrow but with him being day to day I didn't want to risk him being out multiple weeks.

It would be if it wasn't a committee back field for both teams unlike them vikings which is an easy choice.

And yeah, I thought I would roll with Goff as a last resort because I didn't think anyone would target him.

Theres so many gaslit people that think he's garbage because LA used him as a scapegoat even though he took them to a Superbowl.






You need to get better blockers my friend!

Yeah injuries are hell on a team, Kittle is injured and if didnt work out where I grabbed Hock I would have grabbed him again as I do every year and just stream guys when hes hurt.




thanks for the take, I'm of a similar thought on this but the fact Chicago has a triple headed monster V/S the double with Monty it gives me pause to run with Herbert.

I almost want Mostert to come up gimp for week one so I'm forced to play both!



I have flash backs to Julio Jones turf toe issue that made me back off from Scary Terry this year.

I did target Jahan Dotson though.
*Just checked and yup I managed to snag him.




I think you are not giving RBs there due, RB's and Running Qb's will win this league.

I'm going to be real interested to see how Yahoo does with Drafting Hurts in the Second round!

I snaked him in the 5th last year IIRC and was really happy with that score but I wasn't going to even consider any QB before the end of the third.

I think he likes to gamble seeing a few of those guys that have high upside but massive floors as well!



AFA CHi's team, I really like His Chubb/Stevenson picks as I was going to grab either one of them for my 1/2 and he snagged Allen right when I had him next on my que dammit.

Terry McLaurin would be an absolute star top 5 receiver in the league if he had one of these great qbs throwing to him.  Dude is a monster was on my board but it just didn't fall right to scoop him up.  All dependent on how Howell is as his new full time starting qb. 

Great draft everyone, lots of fun!


I personally would go with Herbert. It’s a close call though. As a Bears fan, I personally just don’t think David Montgomery is all that good. Herbert was a significantly better rusher when they both played in the same backfield last year. Detroit drafted a RB early, and I think it’ll be a 50/50 split most likely. Herbert is in a bit of a committee too, but I expect him to get more carries than anyone else.

Funny how I 'm randomly coming across news articles that justify my questionable draft picks, lol... Its almost like Google and ESPN knows who I picked.

CB D.J. Reed boasts Jets' defense can be 'historical' in 2023

Terry McLaurin will continue to be a fantasy football star in 2023, despite bad QB play

Fantasy Football Sleeper: Devon Achane is Suddenly the Dolphins’ RB2

Looking back on things, if I could change anything, I would have tried to see which players were more prone to injury. Turns out most of the players I drafted are, lol. Damn.

Montgomery of course.

You should have drafted more Detroit players, the team will be brilliant this year I keep hearing. Going up against some obscure Missouri team in week 1, easy.

ROTFLMFAO!

I'm sorry I didn't notice that before writing that.

Just fucking drop Stafford, no-one wants him.

*shit I just checked the wire and there is literal shit for QB's for week 1.

guess your just gonna have to cross your fingers on Massage Watson.

Luckily he has a great Matchup week one so you will find out right away if he's a bust or not.

It was because I knew I cannot draft Mahomes, Hurts, Josh Allen and I was also thinking if I cannot draft the lower ranked quarterbacks Burrow, Herbert, Fields or Lamar, the risk on Lawrence will not give me a higher chance to get more points per week. Deshaun Watson might give me some winners, however.

My other problem, my backup qb is Stafford hehehehehe.

I don't dislike my team at all this year! Never really expected to land JJettas at 1.03 or CeeDee Lamb at 2.10. Out of 20ish mock drafts completed not once did i have the chance to draft either one. I'm also banking on Todd Monken and the Ravens offense with Lamar and Andrews stack, expect them to be a top 5-8 offense. Very thin on RBs but who cares about RBs anymore?...certainly not NFL GMs. 

Rest of the teams i dig ChiBitCTy and Mr's Mind-Blowing Team (whom i have to face in Week 1; Allen/Chase/Adams vs. Lamar/Jefferson/Lamb).

Hah, Tough choice between him and Henry!

Man when you stole Rachaad White out from under me I was seriously bummed, though I had him locked and loaded!

We got each other week one and I can't Decide between Monty and Herbert.


Mostert is a must start as J.Wilson went On IR.






Watson is a SERIOUS gamble and I would not play him until he proves himself.

Just a bit of advice.






yeah, I took Kupp in the second last night not knowing he was injured. I faded the fuck the last 2 years because he fucked me with an injury and now he did it again!

I think the 4th is fair though as he should be fine in a few weeks and hes just a target monster as Stafford is a one trick pony.

Not sure who did your cheat sheet but I don't like alot of the order in those tiers.
