We had the fantasy football draft featuring some heavy hitting big leaguers on Tuesday.
These two really take advantage of the scoring system with a full point per reception and 6-point passing TDs.
He and CeeDee Lamb and both 1A in my book.
Dalton Kincaid may very well be Josh Allen’s top target this year.
Solid squad and should be a playoff team assuming they have good health.
It turns even nicer when you realize he’s got a stack with Joe Burrow at QB.
His backfield is very formidable with Isiah Pacheco and Kenneth Walker III.
Both aren’t HUGE pass catchers but are good in any format.
Evan Engram challenged Burrow as my favorite pick here.
He’s my TE2.
Burrow in the 7th round with 6-point passing TDs is actual robbery.
He was the 9th QB taken and this scoring format plays to his best traits.
Curtis Samuel and Jerry Jeudy (UP YA BOOTY!)
are both WRs in new situations that could take a step forward or could be cut from this team.
But I view both as worthy risks.
This team is looking to repeat and I think it’s absolutely plausible they do after this draft.
Big Cat: C
Worst Pick: Josh Jacobs
I have mixed feelings on this draft.
On one hand, it has a bunch of guys I really like.
As I mentioned, I’ve been hearing good thing about a Nick Chubb return in Week 5.
Fellow Brown Amari Cooper is always overlooked and I have him as my WR13!
Getting him at #52 overall is a great pick.
Aaron Rodgers is a good pick in the last round to kind of buoy that position.
As for his early picks, I know that group really wanted CeeDee Lamb.
I like Justin Jefferson, but I probably woud’ve gone Breece Hall in that spot.
So JJ not a bad option.
Will he be Kirk’s go-to guy immediately and be a target machine?
It’s too early to say.
And Josh Jacobs goes to a Green Bay offense that has historically been a timeshare backfield under Matt LaFleur.
He was bragging about his stack of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta.
While they’re both good players, it limits the upside as they’ll be competing with each other!
LaPorta had a great rookie year, but a lot of that was TD dependent.
He only had one 100+ yard game.
Not a guy I’d target in the 2nd round.
Especially given the fact that you took his teammate the round earlier.
I love the Jaylen Waddle and Tank Dell picks, but the Rashee Rice pick is very risky.
With a potential suspension looming, I’m interested to see how that plays out.
If he plays the full year, he’s a steal.
If not, it’s a bad pick.
Jaylen Warren is great value as he’ll catch 3-5 passes/game.
If he can do that for 30-50 yards, that’s 6-10 full points right there without any carries.
Mix in the occasional TD and we’re probably averaging double digit points/game.
Very savvy play to take advantage of the scoring system!
Another great pick for the controls.
Dak Prescott was my favorite pick as he led the league in TD tosses last year.
What I love about him was he was running more too in the back half of last season.
I’m talking about James Conner, DeAndre Hopkins, and Tyler Lockett.
I do like going D/ST in Round 12 to get your choice and the Jets are a solid option.
This is a guy who is coming off a 76 catch season that included almost 1,600 total yards.
Their draft was nearly flawless.
Ja’Marr Chase will be a STEAL at #8 overall assuming he doesn’t hold out.
Davante Adams is in a muddled offense, but he is a target MONSTER.
In PPR it should help level off the expected lack of TDs.
Deebo Samuel as a WR3 is terrifying.
Rachaad White is a worthy RB1 in PPR.
He catches a ton of passes and can split out wide and run routes.
He was RB5 in PPR last year.
CJ Stroud is a pocket passer, which bolds well for 6-point passing TDs.
D’Andre Swift catches passes and plays for a suddenly exciting offense.
Zamir White is a worthy 7th round flier who could turn into an RB1.
TJ Hockenson will be an IR stash and could pay dividends come playoff time.
Kendre Miller is a worthy 13th round sleeper.
Austin Ekeler’s role may be limited, but he should be serviceable in full point PPR.
This team has no weaknesses.
While he only has 7 career TDs, he should take off with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball.
After the top 5 WRs go, he’s a rightful #6 that should only ascend.
Where he starts to lose me is Anthony Richardson.
Who I get has a ton of hype.
But he’s played 4 games really.
This is a guy who has never thrown for 225+ yards and never rushed for 60+ yards.
His production for fantasy was great, but it was mainly rushing TD dependent.
I do like that he buoyed that group with Matthew Stafford late.
De’Von Achane is a super risky pick.
But that is no given.
Cooper Kupp is all of a sudden in a crowded WR room and pretty often injured.
A Kyler Murray/Trey McBride stack is one of of the least scary imaginable.
I do like Jaleel McLoughlin as he offers some quality catching from the RB position.
Terry McLaurin is a solid WR3.
Brian Thomas Jr. is a sleeper I can get behind.
But the rest of the team is not my cup of tea.
Especially in full point PPR where he can catch a ton of balls.
Puka Nacua will be an interesting one.
I like that he didn’t take a backup TE, but what if he just stinks?
Devin Singletary being the starter for the Giants bolds well for Nap taking him in the 9th round.
Can Josh Palmer step up and be a go-to guy in LA?
Wil Myers: C
Best Pick: Jordan LoveWorst Pick: Michael Pittman Jr.
I am not a fan of Saquon Barkley in fantasy this year.
He was my RB13, so him being picked at 12 overall I’m not a fan of.
I’m not sure why he’s not getting more buzz.
Michael Pittman Jr. does worry me a bit with Anthony Richardson at the helm.
Not sure he’ll be putting up big receiving numbers.
I will say, I do love, love, love the Jordan Love pick in the 9th round.
It was arguably the best pick of the Draft as far as value.
That’s all - stay tuned for coverage on this league throughout the season!
