TEAM DRAKE20
8 Rob Gronkowski, NE TE
17 DeMarco Murray, Phi RB
32 Melvin Gordon, SD RB
41 Drew Brees, NO QB
56 Brandon Marshall, NYJ WR
65 Martellus Bennett, Chi TE
80 Steve Smith Sr., Bal WR
89 Bishop Sankey, Ten RB
104 David Johnson, Ari RB
113 Jonas Gray, NE RB
128 Reggie Wayne, NE WR
137 Jordy Nelson*, GB WR
152 Ty Montgomery, GB WR
161 Adam Vinatieri, Ind K
176 Panthers D/ST D/ST

Tough to tell how Gronk will play with Garoppolo early on. He's a hunk though. Eagles will mix things up at RB, but Murray was still easily worth the selection at 17. Things went a bit downhill from there. Gordon has not looked good in the preseason, and it will probably take him a while to get going. Brees is going to be handing the ball off a lot more, and who is going to be throwing to Marshall? Sankey may end up being Ten's #2 RB. Nelson was a steal, and started off the chain of injured keepers being picked up. Well done, but he doesn't help your team this year, obviously. Steve Smith looks great, though.

This team has a good chance at being stuck with two really bad fantasy players in the starting lineup (Marshall and whomever he puts in the FLEX). The rest of the team isn't good enough to make up for it. Looks like a bottom 4 team.

-----------------------------

TEAM TIGERNATION09
11 Matt Forte, Chi RB
14 Demaryius Thomas, Den WR
35 Alfred Morris, Wsh RB
38 Peyton Manning, Den QB
59 Andre Ellington, Ari RB
62 Allen Robinson, Jac WR
83 Devin Funchess, Car WR
86 Julius Thomas, Jac TE
107 Ronnie Hillman, Den RB
110 Stevie Johnson, SD WR
131 Tyler Eifert, Cin TE
134 Fred Jackson, Buf RB
155 Kelvin Benjamin*, Car WR
158 Cardinals D/ST D/ST
179 Dan Carpenter, Buf K

I think this team is pretty terrible. Forte is going to decline. Thomas is a really good player, but I think the Broncos are definitely going to be more run heavy this year, and I expect Manning to have his worst season in a long time. Morris is meh and I don't like Ellington one bit. I did like the Hillman/Stevie Johnson back to back picks. Like I said earlier, I don't trust Denver RBs early in the draft. For a 9th rounder, Hillman could very well end up getting 40% of their RB touches. He's talented enough to do it. Who knows.

This will be the worst team in the league unless Manning shocks me, in which case it could flirt with .500.

----------------------------
FEAR THE LOBO
1 Le'Veon Bell, Pit RB
24 Mark Ingram, NO RB
25 T.Y. Hilton, Ind WR
48 Amari Cooper, Oak WR
49 Jarvis Landry, Mia WR
72 Rashad Jennings, NYG RB
73 Jason Witten, Dal TE
96 John Brown, Ari WR
97 Ryan Tannehill, Mia QB
120 Matt Jones, Wsh RB
121 Torrey Smith, SF WR
144 Kevin White*, Chi WR
145 Jameis Winston, TB QB
168 Broncos D/ST D/ST
169 Justin Tucker, Bal K

Bell will be the fantasy MVP. Ingram can help pick up his slack if Spiller misses time, though I'm not a huge fan as I really think the Saints will spread the RB wealth a bit (we've all seen what Khiry can do). Like Hilton there. Cooper was a bit of a reach given the QB situation, though he's super talented. I think you'll end up playing Landry and BRown more. I don't like Jennings, but there weren't going to be many better options in the 6th round.

This is a good team, though not the "scariest." Decent playoff chances, could be very good if Spiller/Khiry miss a lot of time, or if Alfred Morris is injured and this Matt Jones guy is legit.

THE LOCO COCOS
2 Adrian Peterson, Min RB
23 Aaron Rodgers, GB QB
26 DeAndre Hopkins, Hou WR
47 Jonathan Stewart, Car RB
50 Andre Johnson, Ind WR
71 Giovani Bernard, Cin RB
74 Nelson Agholor, Phi WR
95 Marques Colston, NO WR
98 Zach Ertz, Phi TE
119 Andre Williams, NYG RB
122 Dorial Green-Beckham, Ten WR
143 Rams D/ST D/ST
146 Lorenzo Taliaferro, Bal RB
167 Owen Daniels, Den TE
170 Dan Bailey, Dal K

I'm glad I didn't get a chance to draft AP. I mean, he could be a monster again. Or he could play like a rusty 30 year old with 2300 career touches. Nelson's loss certainly affects Rodgers's value, but he's going to be a monster. I haven't said much about QBs so far because I think Rodgers is in his own league this season, then you'll have about 10 other guys that will be quasi-close.

Hopkins beasted tonight and is a great talent, but I don't trust Hoyer to be as accurate as he was against Keenan Lewis. JStew is a huge risk and is running behind a terrible OL. AJ should be solid. Bernard won't do shite this season. Aghalor/Colston was a solid pair of back to back picks.

This team has an extremely high ceiling, but is unlikely to achieve it. Stewart may not have a great season and, if/when he gets hurt, you're going to have real difficulty filling that RB2 spot. For now I'll say that this team just misses the playoffs, but I could very well see it being the best team in the league.

-----------------------------------

TEAM FTH
9 Marshawn Lynch, Sea RB
16 A.J. Green, Cin WR
33 Julian Edelman, NE WR
40 Carlos Hyde, SF RB
57 Golden Tate, Det WR
64 Russell Wilson, Sea QB
81 Ryan Mathews, Phi RB
88 Michael Floyd, Ari WR
105 Pierre Garcon, Wsh WR
112 DeAngelo Williams, Pit RB
129 Philip Rivers, SD QB
136 Dwayne Allen, Ind TE
153 Michael Crabtree, Oak WR
160 Dolphins D/ST D/ST
177 Brandon McManus, Den K

Not a big fan of this team. I mean, you almost have to take Lynch there at 9 since he's so good. Still many suspected Seattle's OL would decline, and that's been the case in the preseason. AJ Green is really good, but Cincy is expected to run the ball more this season. Edelman is meh in standard leagues due to lack of TDs, but he should be pretty good in PPR. Still, he's coming off an injury and we don't know how he'll be with Garappolo. Hyde sucks. Love the Tate pick. You double dipped with key Seattle players, which again, is risky.

If Seattle doesn't regress offensively, this team could be pretty good. But I think that they do regress, and this team has very poor RB depth (assuming, like me, you hate Hyde). Bottom 5ish team, with a realistic ceiling of just missing the playoffs.

-------------------------------
TEAM JAMES
6 Jeremy Hill, Cin RB
19 Alshon Jeffery, Chi WR
30 Emmanuel Sanders, Den WR
43 Joseph Randle, Dal RB
54 Jeremy Maclin, KC WR
67 Travis Kelce, KC TE
78 Mike Wallace, Min WR
91 Tom Brady, NE QB
102 Eddie Royal, Chi WR
115 Sam Bradford, Phi QB
126 Seahawks D/ST D/ST
139 Stephen Gostkowski, NE K
150 Denard Robinson, Jac RB
163 Reggie Bush, SF RB
174 Antonio Gates, SD TE

I'm a huge Hill fan, but I think I'd have gone with one of the top WRs for this league. I know that you tried to trade down, figuring you could get him later. That would have been a great move if you could have pulled it off.

I like Jeffery. Again, I think Manning regresses, so I don't like Sanders. Randle is a huge boom/bust player. Zeus is a monster, and frick you for picking him there. Maclin could also end up being a steal. Reggie Bush could end up being a steal that late, since that team will probably be playing catch up a lot.

This team had an OK first two picks, and did pretty well from 5 and beyond. I just don't like the 3rd and 4th pick at all. I think this team just misses the playoffs, though it could be great if I'm wrong about Sanders/Randle.

Fair enough. Can't disagree. I reached on Andre Johnson but I knew I wouldn't get him in the next round. I think he can do great things finally having a legit QB. Love Deandre this season think he has a great chance of being a top 10 WR. I really wanted Antonio Brown, but at the second pick I felt I had to go Bell, Peterson or Lacy



Was a very tough choice when I got to my 2nd/3rd pick. Could've got someone like Forsett or Miller and then a WR. Then wait on a QB. Might really
Come back to bite me.

LE GOAT
7 Julio Jones, Atl WR
18 Randall Cobb, GB WR
31 Mike Evans, TB WR
42 C.J. Spiller, NO RB
55 T.J. Yeldon, Jac RB
66 Joique Bell*, Det RB
79 Eric Decker, NYJ WR
90 Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR
103 Darren McFadden, Dal RB
114 Cam Newton, Car QB
127 Markus Wheaton, Pit WR
138 Carson Palmer, Ari QB
151 Jordan Reed, Wsh TE
162 Cody Parkey, Phi K
175 Chiefs D/ST D/ST

Looks a lot like Tots's team. Again, I don't trust either TB WR with Winston, though Evans is a stud. Spiller could still be a PPR monster, even though Payton looks pretty willing to use Ingram/Khiry in the receiving game. I don't expect too much from Yeldon, but at least he'll give you fairly consistent touches. I don't know what's going on with Detroit's RB situation. Ditto Dallas.

I think Newton was a REALLY bad pick. Again, bad OL. No WRs. He's got a TE and his legs. He's going to struggle to play all season, and your backup is coming off of a serious injury. I would have liked your team a good bit more if you went with Stafford, Eli, or Rivers.

This team will definitely be in the playoff hunt. The QBs and RBs are too iffy to guarantee a spot, doe.

-------------------------------------------
THRILLHO'S HUNKSQUAD
4 Jamaal Charles, KC RB
21 Brandin Cooks, NO WR
28 Justin Forsett, Bal RB
45 Sammy Watkins, Buf WR
52 Chris Ivory, NYJ RB
69 Ben Roethlisberger, Pit QB
76 LeGarrette Blount, NE RB
93 Jordan Cameron, Mia TE
100 Anquan Boldin, SF WR
117 Brian Quick, StL WR
124 Matthew Stafford, Det QB
141 Texans D/ST D/ST
148 Jay Ajayi, Mia RB
165 Jets D/ST D/ST
172 Matt Prater, Det K

So many hunks! Replace Jordan with Zeus and it would be 100% hunks!

I'm worried about Charles's usage, but he's a PPR hunk. I think Cooks will catch 95+ balls this year. Forsett has 5 hunks blocking for him. I could see him repeating his ~1280 rushing yards, but catching even more balls (44). I wasn't huge on Watkins, but he's talented and their QB's have been playing well in the preseason, so I figured why not take a chance. I think Ivory is really underrated, and he's been featured in the passing game this offseason. I'm content with the rest of my team. I would have liked to have had more of a sure #2WR, but Watkins could turn out OK and I like Blount as RB depth. I panicked with Ajayi pick since Lamar Miller is a FA next offseason, so I drafted him without thinking too much about whether he is any good.

I think if Charles gets his touches, my team should be in the playoffs. I need Watkins, Boldin, or Quick to beast if I want to be the best, though.

-------------------------------
FIGHTINGTIGERS 98
3 Eddie Lacy, GB RB
22 Andrew Luck, Ind QB
27 Lamar Miller, Mia RB
46 Keenan Allen, SD WR
51 Greg Olsen, Car TE
70 Charles Johnson, Min WR
75 Kendall Wright, Ten WR
94 Isaiah Crowell, Cle RB
99 Tre Mason, StL RB
118 Cody Latimer, Den WR
123 Brandon LaFell*, NE WR
142 Bills D/ST D/ST
147 Jerick McKinnon, Min RB
166 Richard Rodgers, GB TE
171 Mason Crosby, GB K

Luck should be at the top of the second tier of QBs (behind Rodgers), but I still don't think he was quite worth this spot. LOVE the Lacy/Miller combo. Like Olsen. Not a fan of the WRs. Crowell was a bad pick.

While I really like chunks of this team, starting Allen, Johnson, and Wright/Mason sours it quite a bit. Still, this team will be fighting for a playoff spot, and if one or two of those three ends up playing well, you could be really good.

I ama big fan of your first 4 picks. Very similar strategy as myself. I hate the Yeldon/Joique picks though so i think they hurts your RB core/depth badly. Those WRs should keep you afloat though
