I'm drafting a team on ESPN this evening and I have had no time to really look at anything. I'm drafting 8th which is usually a bad spot for me (I struggle when I have to react rather than making others react). Standard ESPN scoring any suggestions on what to watch for?
Since it worked so well for my team last year (won the regular season, finished 3rd when the runner up scored his best score of the entire season)
TOTE THE ROCK
8 Todd Gurley, LA RB
13 Allen Robinson, Jax WR
28 Doug Martin, TB RB
33 Demaryius Thomas, Den WR
48 Jeremy Maclin, KC WR
53 Michael Floyd, Ari WR
68 Jordan Matthews, Phi WR
73 Ameer Abdullah, Det RB
88 Sterling Shepard, NYG WR
93 LeGarrette Blount, NE RB
108 Markus Wheaton, Pit WR
113 Josh Gordon, Cle WR
128 DeAndre Washington, Oak RB
133 Panthers D/ST D/ST
148 Marcus Mariota, Ten QB
153 Jesse James, Pit TE
168 Sam Bradford, Phi QB
173 Chandler Catanzaro, Ari K
I had a draft last night and got stuck at QB too. Every time it was coming around to me, it seemed like there was a run on QBs. I'm very excited about putting my season in Jay Cutler's hands...
Mines a 10 team league and I only went with Mariotta and Bradford late because I kept seeing guys I liked at other positions. QBs went heavy late. Only like 5 team out of 10 took a qb before like Rd 12. And one ended up taking Carr AND Rodgers. I nearly won one league last year bouncing around matchups so I thought I'd try it again. LOL.Quote:

That's a pretty good looking roster you got there. A 1-2 punch of Gurley and Robinson would make me drool.Quote:

In a 10 team league you have got to be way behind the pack at QB.
Our league gives bonus for long tds and I thought with that might make it worth waiting. Scoring last year Cam average: 23.4, Mariotta 16.4.Quote:

Recognizing the premise that nobody cares about anyone's fantasy team but their own, here's mine anyway. As mentioned in another thread, our league has two keepers in a non-PPR format. The starting lineup is ONE RB, two WR, and two FLEX (RB, WR, TE). I had the 5th pick in the 10-team snake draft. Below, I've treated the keepers from last year's roster as if they were the first two draft picks. Fire away!
1st round - #5 overall – Adrian Peterson - Min RB
2nd - #15 – Amari Cooper - Oak WR
3rd - #25 – A.J. Green - Cin WR
4th - #36 – Sammy Watkins - Buf WR
5th - #45 – Carlos Hyde - SF RB
6th - #56 – Eric Decker - NYJ WR
7th - #65 – Latavius Murray - Oak RB
8th - #76 – Julius Thomas - Jax TE
9th - #85 – Derrick Henry - Ten RB
10th - #96 – Tyrod Taylor - Buf QB
11th - #105 – Kevin White - Chi WR
12th - #116 – Charles Sims - TB RB
13th - #125 – Martellus Bennett - NE TE
14th - #136 – Philip Dorsett - Ind WR
15th - #145 – Jameis Winston - TB QB
16th - #156 – Patriots D/ST
17th - #165 – Graham Gano - Car K
I draft #5 in my league, and when I mock, I end up with a lot of those guys.Quote:

3. Sammy Watkins - Still has some undiscovered upside imo
4. Thomas Rawls - Huge mystery, but I think he's the real deal
5. Julian Edelman - Here's hoping he avoids injury ...
6. Jordan Matthews - I was just happy to get a team's #1 receiver in the 6th round
7. Kelvin Benjamin - Looked like a budding star pre-injury
8. Chris Ivory - To get a 1,000 yard rusher from last season in the 8th round was surprising
9. Josh Gordon - This is hopefully one of the steals of the draft
10. Tyler Eifert - See: Edelman, Julian
11. Tevin Coleman - I was hoping to get Devonta Freeman earlier in the draft, but this is my consolation prize
12. Dwayne Allen - I just needed a tight end for a few games while Eifert heals up
13. Steven Hauschka - 2nd most valuable kicker in the NFL this season imo
14. Breshad Perriman - I ran out of time and needed to pick somebody
15. Rams defense - The 49ers QB situation looks shaky; I'll have a different defense next week
