When is the tier/round?

I'm normally pretty good at staying away from the "homer" "Really want this guy" feeling since Reggie.

I'm in a 14 team+flex (PPR) and want him on my team. I just don't want to be "that guy". I have the 1st pick and am thinking 7th round at the earliest.

Kenny Stills > Brandin Cooks.

Stills averaged 20 yards a catch last season. Will be even more of that offense in his 2nd year. Plus you can get Stills later on.

Cooks will get some receptions but probably wont get those TDs

He's going 7th round in 12 team PPR leagues. Good luck in 14 team league w/Homers.

one thing I've learned playing fantasy football is to NEVER DRAFT ROOKIE WR's!

the fact that you feel you have to get him tells me you're going to overdraft him big time

I drafted him in the 8th in a 10 team PPR. Ahead of Colston actually. I'm really high on him, targets are the questions. I made the pick under duress though, was driving to the hospital because my dad was in ICU and didn't want to hold up the (slow) draft.

Basically, 7th round you arent getting him, but in a 14 teamer the equivalent of the 7th round in a 10 teamer is the 5th. As far as who is available that is, but you don't want to take blind shots that early. Stills will be there in the 7th or 8th. All the hype is on Cooks, wait and get him.

Meh, if you can get rookie wrs in round 7 or later, its not a bad investment IMO. I got cooks in the 7th and 9th rounds of my two 12 team ppr leagues.lots of saints fans in them too.

Don't take him. Don't pick with your heart. You're going to pass on someone else who will outperform him if you reach on him. Besides, he'll be gone to someone who puts fandom before winning before the 7th.
