League is no PPR but scoring is as follows:

6 points for all touchdowns instead of the usual 4 points for QB and 6 for rushing and receiving.

Last year Manning Brees and Rodgers were all gone in the first round.

What would be your advice with drafting 9th. Last year I didn't take a QB until the 7th (Romo) and ended up losing the championship (thanks a lot Jimmy Graham) by 0.66 points.

I was thinking going either WR/RB or WR/WR (would also take Jimmy Graham at 9 if he is there.

Any kind of strategy you guys would recommend drafting on the back end of the snake with this format with this scoring?

I'm taking WR/WR
unless Lacy or Forte or there, which i don't expect that.
and i'm taking AJ and Marshall.
I know they say never look at byes, but there's a shite load of players i'm targeting with week 4 byes and Demaryius is one of them with AJ, Gio, JCameron, Ellington


I think the biggest thing is to look at what the guy behind you is doing.
If you go WR/WR and you see him do the same, you know he's most likely taking 2 RB's after your next pick.

Manning
Brees
Rodgers
Charles
McCoy
Peterson
Lacy
Forte

For the 9th pick you could go Calvin Johnson, D. Thomas, D. Bryant, or Graham. If you feel you must get a QB then go Luck or Stafford and grab who's left from the above list on the turn. Either way you're gonna turn out pretty good.

You can get these guys in the 3rd/4th round. If you want Graham, grab him and then get the best WR left. You can then go RB RB later or even RB QB if you feel the need.

What if Graham is there at 9? Do you go Graham and best available WR?

I feel like I can get Ellington/Bernard/Bell/Bush/possibly Demarco (bunch of cowboys haters in this league) in the 4-6 rounds. I can also get a good QB late. (Romo, Dalton, Brady etc.) I was thinking about Graham/WR/WRorRB (depending on which RB is still there)

Why pick Graham when i can get Gronk with my 3rd/4th pick most likely, or Cameron with my 5th/6th pick?

I'm not taking Graham, and he most likely won't be there.

And if Demarco is available in the 4th round, then sign me up for that league.

I'm going WR/WR, and then i'm hoping to get Antonio(which would be awesome), if he's not there it's going to be some combo of Gronk/Cobb/Gio/Bush/Ellington/Vjax/Mathews and i more than likely will only take 1 RB with my 3/4 pick.

Worried about him honestly.. already questionable for week 1. Wouldn't surprise me if we missed at least 2 games this season.

Cameron


Has been going 4th round in a lot of the mocks I have done.

He is good for at least 15 points a game.

I told you a buncha Cowboy hating Texans fans in this league. They would rather their team not be as good than to draft a Cowboy early. Romo went in the 13th round last year because they didn't want to take him. lol.

I'd just prefer Cameron/Witten/Olsen, maybe Pitta or Rudolph

I never like my team when i pick Graham or a QB in the first round, so maybe i'm a little bias.
Also, the person that picks graham in my 2 leagues, which has always been in the first round, usually comes out last or at the bottom of the league.

Go for the best available skill guy. Could be RB-WR or the other way around. Then on the next snake you take the next two best available skill guys. Then at 5-6 you take best available overall. Could be QB depending on how they get picked. If you can wait till 7-8 for QB.
