It's ok. Jarvis in the second is a reach. You probably could have gone RB there and gotten him in the third. Your RBs are extremely suspect, but if you play the waivers you should be ok. Give ya a solid 5.5/10.

It isn't good. It's really bad actually. You did a lot of reaching. You will probably finish in the bottom quarter of your league. I'm not sure that you have 1 startable rb. Just the pits really. I'm not sure I've ever seen a worse drafted team. Really. I'm not exagerating. I hope you didn't risk much money.

You should have autodrafted.

Thanks for the honest opinion. I may have been reaching but I was simply going down the list and picking the highest ranking player who was available at the time.

I think the problem is that you should've waited on QB.


Your WRs will put up numbers. But your RB situation will likely be terrible. Wouldn't have gone Ertz in the 6th.

But, you could end up making waiver moves that really help you out.

This team will make you learn to play the WW which is the main thing in fantasy anyway.

Good luck, have fun.

Decent, your wr corps is very nice. Reaxhed on Ertz alot and below avg at rb, but you have upside. Riddick will catch 50 balls as a floor and Sims is a Martin injury away from being a ppr stud. You need some help with waivers. Middle of the road team that needs some work but if it falls right could be a fringe playoff team. Marvin Jones may be a steal for you.

First year is a learning experience. Everyone fricks up.

First 3 rounds actually aren't completely horrible for ppr. Hopkins was a good pick. Landry was a reach which was made up by a good pick of cooks in the 3rd. Then it went downhill. Stewart was a really really big reach there. I'm not sure what you had available at that point, but I think you had to have better options. Luck is ok there. Ertz was another really big reach. Probably should have waited several rounds before picking a defense.

Your wr corp should be pretty good, probably top half or better of the league as a unit, but it isn't quite dominating enough to make up for the pits that is your rb corp, which I imagine is probably the worst. Also, ertz is probably only average.

Maybe I was a little harsh. If you get a little lucky with injuries and play the waiver well you might make the rb's passable enough. Don't give up. Anything can happen. So much is unpredictable. But overall I think this is going to be a learning experience.

Tevin Coleman could be a great pickup and save your team.

B if it's 4pts per passing TD
B+ if it's 6pts per passing TD.

You have a great PPR WR/QB/Defense. However, you can't get higher than a B+ b/c of your RB situation

I don't like your RB and Landry in the 2nd is awful, but Cooks in the 3rd kind of makes up for it. I think you could argue Cooks in the 2nd.

Marvin Jones is a sleeper I like, luck will put up big numbers again and Zach Miller was a steal if you got him in the 15th. Love Hopkins, think he's right there with Julio and Beckham this year.

Your RBs aren't sexy but those guys were starting for a lot of playoff teams last year. You really need Luck to blow up and Cooks to have a career year to contend.

I started to take cooks in the second but didn't want to lose Landry to someone. So took Landry 9th pick 2nd round and lucked up and got cooks 4th pick 3rd round.

When I chose to get Stewart, he was the top rb available at that time according to online ranking/predictions.

With this being my first year playing, im sure I'll learn more about it all. But I feel good going in. It's going to be fun regardless

Your team isn't great but it certainly isn't as bad as some in here are trying to make it out to be. Very good WR group and a good QB. Ertz in the 6th hurts because you could have gotten him 3-4 rounds later and used that pick to build RB depth.

You were doing fine until the 5th and 6th rounds IMO. Should've continued w/ RB & WR.
