Yeah I've got him mid-70's ADP overall.

By comparison I've got Jackson mid-60's overall.

I definitely dug even deeper after you questioned and I just don't understand the logic. I mean from week 3 on last year he had a solid season. He's had probably the best game of any wide out this preseason. Guess we'll see. I'm not expecting top 20 numbers or anything about if he's a top 20-25 WR which I think he can be, it'll be fine for me.

And oh well if not. Like I said the Victor Cruz' of the world appear literally every season. Unless I lose an RB (which obviously could happen), I'll be fine. Even in PPR format.

I've actually been surprised the pussy bandit hasn't been getting more love in drafts. He's got one of the best 1-2 punches at WR and a really good 3rd WR. An impotent running game should mean he will be airing it out to those guys often and racking up redzone TD's rather than one of the RB's punching it in.

300+ of his 850 yards came in two games. 11 of his 50 catches in those too.

He also put up games with 1, 2 , 2, 3, 3, 3 catches in his "solid season."

I don't mind him as a WR Flex play, but he's your WR2.

So preseason doesn't count? I dont get. It's like sometimes you use preseason as basis other times it doesn't matter.

Don't quite understand that.

I gotta agree with you on Torrey Smith Okie. I like him a lot. Love his coach saying his route running is looking good. Of course could be coach talk, but I'm buying it! Three of the main sites I use to look at ADP have him in the late 60's to mid 70's in PPR.

The ADP that I use has most of the picks in this draft going way early.

With 3 keepers, I think ADPs can somewhat go out the window bc it's not always the BPA getting drafted but rather who needs what and when.

I guess I just see it like this this:

I've got a top 3 QB.
I've got 3 possible top 15 RBs if they stay healthy.
I've got a top 15 WR (assuming the font amputate his foot)

Why not take a shot at a high upside guy with some risk? Yeah coulda gone safe pick like Reggie Wayne. But at that point in the draft I'm much more inclined to take risks.

In previous years in various leagues I've been made fun of for taking shots at Celek before his breakout year, Eddie Royal before his breakout year, Arian Foster before his breakout year, etc.

Am I always right on sleepers? Hell no.

Just read a ton of info on these guys and make best decision possible based on everything I read. Guess we'll see how this one plays out.

I get the feeling Hull won't be here for awhile. Dude hasn't been online all day.

2-3 years ago OK had one of worst blizzards in state history. Got over a foot of snow and we were without power for like 3 days. Super grateful for well insulated house cuz it was consistently in the teens. So damn cold.
