Exactly

They have visions of competing for the NFC I imagine and Tate has been their guy. I would say there is no chance he’s dealt two weeks out of the reg season

I have Ajayi and added Clement. I was concerned in general with having to count on Ajayi. The lingering injury just makes me hate it more

Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Alshon Jeffery (shoulder, active/PUP) is "progressing well."

Pederson added Jeffery has been catching "75 balls a day," but the coach refused to say if the receiver will be ready for Week 1. It still seems unlikely Jeffery starts the season on the PUP, which would cost him the first six games, but it remains possible if not likely he misses a game or two. If he does, Nelson Agholor will operate as the No. 1 receiver.


finally some positive news on alshon. He's going at a big enough discount now to where I'm fine with him even if he misses 2-3 games.

Cobb is a more likely trade option than Tate imo

Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery is expected to miss at least the first two games of the season, but the team will activate him to the 53-man roster this weekend with optimism he could be back by week 3, per @mortreport and me.

That 11th Rd pick I made for Agholar last night is looking pretty damn good right now

Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin has returned to practice after missing the last month with a knee injury. He estimated that he's 80-85 percent healthy right now, "and the truth of the matter is that it won't be 100 percent [in 2018]. It's something that.

Auction and Top 6/Bottom 6 is unquestionably the best way to play fantasy football

Le'Veon Bell calling reports that he will report to Steelers on Monday "fake news." Hope that means he may report this weekend instead.

As great as T6/B6 is it kind of takes away the shite talking to your opponent aspect

Not entirely, there’s also a lot of jockeying on Monday nights that results in shite talking

Despite worries that Frank Gore will steal half of Kenyan Drake's touches, the Dolphins are aware of Drake's talents and will allow him to be the lead back if he proves he can handle it. Dolphins coach Adam Gase's breakdown of an ideal workload for Drake should be music to the ears of Drake, Dolphins fans and smart fantasy football owners. “You’d love to get in that 70-75 plays per game [range] as a unit. If that happens, then you’re looking at hopefully anywhere from 15-20 carries and 6-8 targets," Gase said of Drake. Gase might be a little optimistic on play count. Even with an expected increase of no-huddle under Ryan Tannehill, no team has averaged 70-plus offensive plays per game since Philadelphia in 2014. The Dolphins averaged a little over 62 plays in 2017. But even looking at numbers just outside of Gase's low-end projection, Drake getting 18-20 touches a game -- which would be a workload similar to what Jay Ajayi had in his breakout 2016 season -- would allow him to expand upon what he flashed last season. Ajayi had 287 touches in 15 games in 2016, a little more than 19 per game, for 1,423 total yards. Plus, Drake

Sounds like it, I haven’t done one IRL yet, but a few mocks

The idea of being able to bid on any player you want is really appealing to me. I sort of hate being confined to picking certain players in certain slots because sometimes it shoehorns you into taking a player or taking a position that you really don’t want to. Seems like auction drafts place a premium on predraft research, and I like that

How would you guys rank this tier of WRs, and why? PPR

D. Adams
AJ Green
Hilton
Hill
Diggs



Just did a 12 team mock (I know they’re not always a good indicator of where people are going to be picked) and wound up with this -

Matt Ryan

Zeke
C Thompson

AJ Green
J Gordon
Tyreek Hill

Burton


Ingram
W Fuller
G Bernard


I think I’d be happy with that draft IRL
