Can't tell if I'm being a super homer or if this team is as good as I think it is. Couldn't believe Hopkins fell to 10 for me.

12 team PPR, picked 10th

Qb: Palmer
RB: Forte
RB: Woodhead
WR: Hopkins
WR: Brandon Marshall
Flex: TY Hilton
TE: Eric Ebron
D: Chiefs
K: Gano

B: Ryan Matthews
B: Marvin Jones
B: Ajayi
B: James White
B: Torrey Smith

if by dominate, you mean you dont have any runningbacks. Sure

Woodhead was RB3 overall last year in PPR. Hard to beat that production with a 6th round pick

Good team, but i'll play devil's advocate:
- Palmer is always an injury risk and you should have a quality backup QB
- Woodhead is normally a great PPR back but I worry about the emergence of Gordon. Will he take passing down snaps away? Matthews and Ajayi might be better options.
- Eric Ebron is just now starting to walk again

Well Woodhead is solid. Matthews no longer has Murray eating carries. Who knows with Forte, but he could be solid. His RBs aren't the greatest but they obviously won't be when you draft WRs first.

Fair points. I wasn't wild about Ebron, but he seemed like the best option available. I got Matthews as a volume guy. He should see 20 touches a game, figured he would have a chance to put up solid RB2 numbers.

Pretty good team bro I wouldn't feel bad about taking the squad into week 1.

Reports from media that have been watching practice are saying, and I quote, Darren Sproles is "the best back on the team"




For comparison sake I picked 12th in the same draft

quote:

QB- Aaron Rodgers (4)
RB- TJ Yeldon (7)
RB- Giovani Bernard (6)
WR- Dez Bryant (1)
WR- Allen Robinson (2)
Flex- Eric Decker (3)
TE- Delanie Walker (5)
D/ST- Bengals (11)
K- Mason Crosby (14)

B- Josh Gordon (8)
B- Theo Riddick (9)
B- Willie Snead (10)
B- Alfred Morris (12)
B- Darren Sproles (13)

I think its a much better team, RB2 is shaky but that'll work itself out

that first team is better imo

Gio bernard and tj yeldon? I wouldnt be comfortable if those were my bench backs, much less two starters

Team 1 has essentially has 3 WR1, then Forte, Woodhead, and White to plug and play at RB. Upside on the bench in Marvin Jones and Ajayi. Id look for another TE but other than that it's solid

Meh. WR's are a push- he's got an edge at RB- I'm better at Flex, TE, and probably QB with the return of Cobb and svelte Eddie Lacy. Wildcard Gordon on the pine.

You're definitely better at TE and QB. I got Hilton > Decker, but I still like Decker as a flex.

Your team isnt bad by any means. Once Gordon inches back from suspension, the hype train may allow you to deal him for a RB. By that time you'll know if you got anything witl Yeldon or Bernard

Understatement

Disagree

I mean everyone thinks they killed their draft, otherwise they would've picked different players. But you've got several neutral observers who think his team is better than yours. It is what it is my man.

I'll give you TE and QB, but Hilton > Decker.

Na bruh. Decker has been substantially better 2 of the last 3 years. Hell, Hilton only put up 1 more ppg than Snead a year ago. Decker is criminally underrated. Lead the NFL in redzone targets last year. Errrbody wanna sleep on the white boy. He's a bad man in the redzone though

Well, if you're going back 3 years, you're also counting a year where he was a WR for a 55 TD Peyton Manning.

And he put up 17 ppg that year, the same as TY Hilton's 2014 campaign. Decker is a good flex player, he's just not as good as Hilton.
