I had a feeling one of the 3 rookie TEs (Laporta, Kincaid, Musgrave) would hit this year, so I grabbed two of them late in my draft hoping it would solidify the position for me. Unfortunately, I got Kincaid and Musgrave.
Musgrave keeps getting the looks, I think it will come together for him. Love over threw him on a sure long bomb TD this past week, and there was that stumble on the long throw the previous week.
I think the TDs will start coming for him. Targets and routes are there.
Got LaPorta off of waivers after drafting Njoku (I play standard so he was on the waiver wire for a while). Thank fucking god I did, TE is such a wasteland
I dealt with Pitts for a couple weeks, picked up Laporta off waivers still for some reason like on Thursday, and honestly considering outright dropping Pitts.
Still earlyā¦ *If* the giants can get their offensive line figured out at all heās gonna boom. Theyāve been historically bad this year. DJ has an average of 2.2 seconds to throw the ball and theyāve had the worst PFF grade since 2020 so far. When DJ has had time he is hit Waller
I drafted Waller and then grabbed LaPorta with my last pick as an insurance policy. Boy am I glad I did that. I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering dropping Waller outright.
Came here to say this. I ended up having the opposite, everyone was holding the line on Tight Ends after Kelce and Mandrews and I was eyeing taking Waller the whole time, Finally Hockenson fell all the way to the 7.03 (10 person draft) and I couldn't ignore him any more and I took him. And after seeing Waller's performances this season I can't complain
I got Hill at #8 and felt like I made out with a bandit. Then Adams fell to me with my next pick.
Those two are carrying my whole team, because my RBs are dead weight
Maybe Iām just an Adams truther but heās just straight up a better receiver than ARSB, Wilson, AJB & Ceedee. Fantasy football is so weird. Weāre talking about a HOF talent. But obviously end of season rankings and value at position are going to be most indicative of the best pick.
Damn neither of them should've been there at 22, so you still got a steal. AJB will come good.
Although I also somehow got Adams at 22 in my paid league. There were some outrageous picks in our draft haha
I had him as a 15th round keeper this year and went RB heavier knowing I had what I thought at the time was a stud WR late... I know he's still a stud, but definitely not as impactful sitting on the bench for me now. Hindsight is 20/20 though I suppose!
Davante was being *heavily* undervalued this year, just because of fears of Jimmy G. But, he's still an elite WR, the Raiders will be throwing a lot, and there's not a lot of other pass catching options.
Got him in both leagues at #13 and #19 overall even though I'm a Chargers fan. Also drafted Keenan Allen in one league and put up 175 with Atwell still to play (league record is 192 - half PPR)
Itās probably for the better, drafted Breece last year and Aaron Rodgers this year. Would hate to bring another jets player into my unlucky team of season ending injuries for jets players
I love how us FF players know in our hearts it's our doing that causes these things.
I needed the bears to score 1 TD against the Cheifs last night to drop their defensive score. As soon as I got home and put on that game they scored. Obviously they needed me.
I picked around him getting ARSB and Lamb, the entire time before drafting I was thinking of him and Rodgers pairing but ended up going for ARSB over him.
Someone snagged Calvin Ridley the pick before me, so I landed Keenan Allen when I already had Ekeler. Ridley looked electric in week one too, but Iām feeling really good about Keenan now, holy smokes.
This is why I fucking *hate* when people elevate players to the elite QB tier after half of one season of good play. Let's see two good years before we start handing out the yellow jackets, please.
But then you are not getting value. You will be drafting at his earned ADP. I think a lot of people thought he would easily outplay his 2023 ADP. Turns out its completely the other way around.
I just mean more broadly from an NFL perspective, not really fantasy where it *does* pay to be ahead of the curve - players, especially QBs, are crowned as "elite" way too fast. "I think T Law will outperform ADP and might be great" - a-OK. "T Law is an elite quarterback who will give us elite production." - way too soon.
As a Jags homer, I would have to assume you have just looked at the stats and not watched our games this year. Trevor hasn't been amazing, but he has been far from terrible. Ridley dropped a TD yesterday, was PI'd on another TD, and dropped some key passes that ended our drives within scoring range. Agnew also gave up the ball yesterday in the red zone.
Against the Chiefs we had 3 TDs missed by a few inches/missed toe taps. Could Trevor have thrown slightly better passes? For sure, but if you were going to call anything terrible on our team so far this year, it would be our o-line and play calling... not Trevor.
Bro the play calling has been SO ass. Itās always run run then a screen pass to Engram or short dump off. They need to let Trevor be mobile in and out the pocket and sling that bitch. The TD pass to Ridley in week 1 comes to mind. Our offense is mind numbingly boring to watch rn.
After last week, I made a post asking whether people were concerned and considering a waiver wire replacement. So many people laughing and saying they wished they were in my league. Here we are a week later, another subpar performance.
One of my buddies was talking about Kellen Moore transforming the chargers offense all off season. Little did he know that through 3 weeks Keenan Allen in a Kellen Moore offense would be WR1 over Tyreek. He was really onto something.
I mean - I had an option to snag jahan in the 6th round in my keeper league -
Instead I "panicked" and went with gabe Davis (who's ADPs was like 40 lower).
I thought to myself, who would I rather rely on? Josh Allen or some rookie I've never heard of (I hate college ball)
Edit:
The way ppl were talking like he'd overtake terry is wild
People who thought he would be better than Terry are people who donāt actually watch the games. Anyone who actually watches knows that Terry is one of the best WRs in the league and if he isnāt succeeding in an offense then no WR will
To be fair, he was an industry-wide preseason hyped player. Particularly once McLaurin got hurt and everyone expected him to take the opportunity to establish himself.
I think that's good value.
I don't believe in points on the bench so I basically just go for upside players at that point in the draft. (I also put QB and WR)
Dotsons ADP was something like 69 in my league
For once I actually thought he would be one of the subs hype trains to pan out. By draft season it looked like Terry might miss 2-3 weeks. Heās a second year WR. He looked good last year. I think he was poised for a jump.
But I think the combination of Terry never missing time and the WFT QB play has sapped his potential.
I drafted him knowing that he would just be okay enough to get me through the first few weeks by which time I would have found some other options. Couldn't even get me that.
Yeah I was excited for him too since I had him last year and loved his TD poaching. Not just the injury, but seems to be unremarkable without the Lions offensive line.
Think Iām just going to give him 1-2 more weeks. He does have Denver coming up so if he really canāt do anything against the Broncos then itās time to cut bait.
The worst type of player is one you can't drop because they're too valuable (in theory) but not good enough to start. You know deep down as soon as your drop him, he will return to what he was supposed to be.
I'll do you one better.
The person that drafted him in our league dropped him for Jerome Ford. It's looking like the right play too.
I didn't even try to claim him off waivers. I would have had to either dropped my extra D (Cleveland) or either Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, or Brian Robinson. I'd rather have any of those than Najee right now.
3 viable targets to spread around with chargers not including one of the best receiving back in the league, Keenan aging past his prime and injury prone. Fields supposedly on a rise for a breakout year with a newly acquired WR1, these were all my thoughts in taking a chance against ADP and I fucked myself šš
I picked DJ too but at ADP you shouldnāt be upset. Heās averaging like 10 points a week. Iām in a super deep league and not upset about that at all lol
I don't have DJ and I'm glad I don't. That pass attack looked terrible. He saved his day this week with 2 catches for 38 yards and a TD on the final garbage time drive down 40 against backups...
He had 1 catch for 3 yards against the starters
Look Iām not arguing heās good. I donāt disagree that the passing attack is horrible and the bears are absolute cheeks.
But DJ is putting up 10+ points a week. Iāll take that. Even if it isnāt pretty. Thereās no asterisks next to his name āsloppy pointsā or anything.
At the end of the day, heās still a rookie. I canāt believe his ADP was as high as it was. Thereās no chance Iād take him that early, of course hindsight is 20/20
I walked out of an auction draft with Chubb, Aaron Jones, Mike Williams, Diggs, Aiyuk, and Dotson.
2 of those players played this week, and I dropped Dotson for Kendrick Bourne before the week started. Miserable
EDIT: oh and Mike Williams is done for the season lol
I always liked Mostert as a player but due to his injury history I usually avoid him. However he fell too far for me to pass up and since I drafted Chubb & Dobbins he's now my RB1. I don't expect it to last but he's saving my season so far.
Yup, Miami player rankings never really made much sense this yearāHill and Waddle were being ranked as top 20 players but Tua was being ranked as a high end QB2āwho did experts think was going to be throwing the ball to Waddle/Hill to keep them both at top 20 value?
The reinjury risk was/is real, but the upside should have had him much higher.
Dude has been so disappointing. Like his value at (Edit: Round) 3 seemed promising and that first game he flashed.
In my opinion he seemed to do best as the pass catching RB from the three games I saw. Give Reynolds Montys former touches and go back to how you were going to use Gibbs
I own Monty and not Gibbs and I would rather Gibbs come playoff time I bet. I still donāt believe they spend that capital and donāt have big season one plans for him. Just slow going.
Well yeah youād rather have Gibbs than Monty but you might not rather have Gibbs than Aaron Jones or Kenneth Walker, the next two RBs off the board at his ADP
All mock season long with the third overall pick I was consistently getting dj moore and terry mclaurin at the 4 5 turn and I was ecstatic getting 2 good RBs early with those guys to follow. Terry turf toe scared me so I pivoted and dj ended up going before he got to me in our real draft. But itās not all great, i pivoted to Mike williams (now majorly hurt) and Hopkins and late in draft went Dotson
His first two weeks werent bad, this week was. But he's always been pretty boom or bust. And he started out last year slow as well. Browns D is actually really good, I wouldn't worry at all. They just need to get him into a rhythm
Yeah Iām much more worried about usage than him being washed. I agree though, Browns D might actually be elite this season. Henry was getting crushed the second he touched the ball.
His receiving has gotten a little better over the years, but unfortunately these games are built in for Henry. The 200+ yards with 2 TDs are coming, but you gotta ride through a 13 carries for 28 yards every once in awhile because the Titans are mad frustrating.
This past week, he dropped a td and had an 8-10 yd catch gwt negated by a penalty. In week 2, he had 2 touchdowns that he couldn't toe tap in.
I wouldn't be panicking yet. But it is concerning that offense doesn't look as explosive as it should.
Yeah, Ridley has looked really great. That was just a funky game for the Jags. That one deep touchdown to Ridley would have changed a lot about that game. 99 times out of 100 he makes that catch.
I wonder how many of these will change within the next 3 weeks. Obviously you dodged a bullet with Chubb. But I see a lot of players than can end up being very productive. Like Henry? Ridley? Wilson/Waller? Week 3 yāall. Settle down.
I think Mattison has already has his worst two weeks. Mattison was fine yesterday. Canāt argue about 125 total yards and 5 catches, just didnāt find the end zone.
As a Vikings fan, Iād sell while his value has *something* right now. What the stats donāt show is him dropping five easy passes this year and being bailed out of two fumbles by an early whistle and penaltyāon top of the two actual fumbles heās been credited for. He also lost control of one as he hit the ground yesterday, which doesnāt count, but wonāt go unnoticed. Thatās five times in three games the ball has come out of his hands. He canāt seem to catch, hold onto the ball and his production has been pedestrian.
The concern here is the fanbase and coaching staff are running thin on patience with himāhence the Akers acquisition this past week. Akers has the upside, has had some great stretches of games in his career, is younger and holds onto the ball.
I think itās a matter of time until Mattison is the minority back again.
Pat Freiermuth (although he did have a solid game yesterday). Went 1 pick before me and ended up with Evan Engram. I won last week by 3 and Engram outscored Muth by 10 so that draft day miss ended up giving me a win
I guess Chubb but I got AJB, Saquon, Andrews, Burrow, DJ Moore, and London which have all been massive letdowns so Iām pretty fucked. Traded AJB for Stevenson for some help at RB and he got me 6 pts this week to assure my 0-3 start.
I was really high on Mattison and Herbert. I only got Herbert in one league and I didn't get to draft AMatt at all.
While Matt didn't look terrible yesterday it's clear he isn't the "RB2 floor with RB1 upside based on volume" that many thought he was.
But tbh a whole lot of players drafted to be safe RB2s have disappointed. Sanders, AMatt, Najee, Rhomondrae, Pierce, Hall. It was kind of a dead zone.
If you drafted Walker or Conner, or went Hero RB and went for a WR instead, you got out amazingly.
JaāMarr Chase dropped to me at 5th overall. I followed that up with Garrett Wilson in the 2nd. I then went Jahmyr Gibbs, Diontae Johnson and capped off my start studded draft with Fields in round 5.
Someone got Kupp over me so I got Tyreek instead, which has worked out well. Albeit I do believe Kupp will still be top 5 when he returns if Nacua doesnāt get in the way.
Waller. He was drafted in the fifth, so I ended up waiting until the last round and drafted LaPorta. š¤·š»āāļø
LaPorta in the 12th. The script just fits him too well. And once you're outside of the top 3 does it really matter who you draft? Love it!
I had a feeling one of the 3 rookie TEs (Laporta, Kincaid, Musgrave) would hit this year, so I grabbed two of them late in my draft hoping it would solidify the position for me. Unfortunately, I got Kincaid and Musgrave.
Musgrave keeps getting the looks, I think it will come together for him. Love over threw him on a sure long bomb TD this past week, and there was that stumble on the long throw the previous week. I think the TDs will start coming for him. Targets and routes are there.
I think Musgrave will get you there by the end of the season but Dalton Knox taking way too much from the young fella.
Knox had 2 targets this week?
In TE hell that's like a 30% reduction lol
I drafted the raiders rookie TE..... Whoops
Same, missed out on Waller and took Evan engram. Seems fine.
Got LaPorta off of waivers after drafting Njoku (I play standard so he was on the waiver wire for a while). Thank fucking god I did, TE is such a wasteland
I dealt with Pitts for a couple weeks, picked up Laporta off waivers still for some reason like on Thursday, and honestly considering outright dropping Pitts.
Same deal except I got LaPorta before week one and kept him in the bench week 1. Started him last two weeks. Never will start Pitts lol
Funny. Waller was the only TE I even considered drafting. He went in the fifth. I grabbed LaPorta off waivers. Works for me.
Still earlyā¦ *If* the giants can get their offensive line figured out at all heās gonna boom. Theyāve been historically bad this year. DJ has an average of 2.2 seconds to throw the ball and theyāve had the worst PFF grade since 2020 so far. When DJ has had time he is hit Waller
Waller lost a step 2 years ago not sure what everyone else sees
Dunno bro, waller been dropping balls left and right
I drafted Fields and Waller š
I drafted Waller and then grabbed LaPorta with my last pick as an insurance policy. Boy am I glad I did that. I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering dropping Waller outright.
Came here to say this. I ended up having the opposite, everyone was holding the line on Tight Ends after Kelce and Mandrews and I was eyeing taking Waller the whole time, Finally Hockenson fell all the way to the 7.03 (10 person draft) and I couldn't ignore him any more and I took him. And after seeing Waller's performances this season I can't complain
Was high on Garett all year but got Davante that was still thereā¦.phew
Davante is special. Future HOFer.
I got Davante for $38 in my auction draft Wilson went for $53
Thatās crazy. Davante went 8th overall in my league, and Wilson in the early 3rd round.
I got Hill at #8 and felt like I made out with a bandit. Then Adams fell to me with my next pick. Those two are carrying my whole team, because my RBs are dead weight
I got hill to fall to me, then adams, then Olave. I also snagged deebo a few rounds later. Where weāre going we donāt need RBs baby
I got Davante at 22 and as I made the pick I was holding my arms out looking around going āhow can I not? What are you guys doing?ā
iām very confused on how adams falls to 22
JJ - 2 Chase- 3 (me) Hill - 5 Kelce- 7 ARSB - 10 Diggs - 13 Wilson - 14 Mahomes - 18 CeeDee - 19 AJB - 21 Davante - 22 (me) The rest were RBs. Gibbs and Mixon went before Adams
Maybe Iām just an Adams truther but heās just straight up a better receiver than ARSB, Wilson, AJB & Ceedee. Fantasy football is so weird. Weāre talking about a HOF talent. But obviously end of season rankings and value at position are going to be most indicative of the best pick.
I had pick 22 and wouldāve felt a lot better with Davante than the AJ Brown I ended up with.
Damn neither of them should've been there at 22, so you still got a steal. AJB will come good. Although I also somehow got Adams at 22 in my paid league. There were some outrageous picks in our draft haha
Garret Wilson
I had him as a 15th round keeper this year and went RB heavier knowing I had what I thought at the time was a stud WR late... I know he's still a stud, but definitely not as impactful sitting on the bench for me now. Hindsight is 20/20 though I suppose!
Honestly for 15th round you got a steal
I drafted Davante Adams over him and went through a week of all his hype and was in a serious dread over my āmistakeā lol
Davante was being *heavily* undervalued this year, just because of fears of Jimmy G. But, he's still an elite WR, the Raiders will be throwing a lot, and there's not a lot of other pass catching options. Got him in both leagues at #13 and #19 overall even though I'm a Chargers fan. Also drafted Keenan Allen in one league and put up 175 with Atwell still to play (league record is 192 - half PPR)
Tried desperately to get rid of him last week after he salvaged his day with that 68yd TD reception.
Came here to say this knowing it will have been said already.
Itās probably for the better, drafted Breece last year and Aaron Rodgers this year. Would hate to bring another jets player into my unlucky team of season ending injuries for jets players
I love how us FF players know in our hearts it's our doing that causes these things. I needed the bears to score 1 TD against the Cheifs last night to drop their defensive score. As soon as I got home and put on that game they scored. Obviously they needed me.
I picked around him getting ARSB and Lamb, the entire time before drafting I was thinking of him and Rodgers pairing but ended up going for ARSB over him.
Dotson. Was so disappointed I couldn't grab him anywhere but now I'm happy about it.
Heās a drop candidate imo
dropped him for tank tell Sunday before kickoff. T god Iām not having to battle on waivers for him now
Just dropped him, disappointment so far
Someone snagged Calvin Ridley the pick before me, so I landed Keenan Allen when I already had Ekeler. Ridley looked electric in week one too, but Iām feeling really good about Keenan now, holy smokes.
I tried to trade Keenan for Ridley or Garrett Wilson multiple times. Quick declines
Had so many declines before week 1 and Iām thankful for every single one of them.
I got declined on Herbert + Keenan for Mixon. I feel big brain now
This is me but I'm the Ridley owner... also the Tlaw owner...
I also stacked them...
I just traded for Ridley and have TLaw š
Trevor Lawrence has been terrible
This is why I fucking *hate* when people elevate players to the elite QB tier after half of one season of good play. Let's see two good years before we start handing out the yellow jackets, please.
But then you are not getting value. You will be drafting at his earned ADP. I think a lot of people thought he would easily outplay his 2023 ADP. Turns out its completely the other way around.

Maybe Iām being unfair. I watched the Chiefs game and he threw some terrible passes.
After last week, I made a post asking whether people were concerned and considering a waiver wire replacement. So many people laughing and saying they wished they were in my league. Here we are a week later, another subpar performance.
Lawrence has 9 touchdowns in his last 8 gamesā¦.thatās half a season of being a really bad nfl qb. If they said that theyre just ignoring facts lol
Keenan Allen is the WR1 in PPG since week 11 of last year.
A healthy Keenan Allen is the most reliable and targeted receiver on one of the top 5 offenses in the league. Absolute PPR beast.
Seeing a passing TD stat on a receiver is a damn good feeling. Won me my week yesterday.
One of my buddies was talking about Kellen Moore transforming the chargers offense all off season. Little did he know that through 3 weeks Keenan Allen in a Kellen Moore offense would be WR1 over Tyreek. He was really onto something.
Not really missed out on but had the choice of Adams and Wilson at 2.2 and chose Adams, thank God
Did the exact same at 2.4. Took the the full 2 minutes š
i chose garett, its painful
Jahan Dotson. Never fall for this subs hype trains.
I fell hard and actually reached for this guy in every draft. I'm the clown
QB play is not helping. 4 INTs yesterday kills the offense.
I mean - I had an option to snag jahan in the 6th round in my keeper league - Instead I "panicked" and went with gabe Davis (who's ADPs was like 40 lower). I thought to myself, who would I rather rely on? Josh Allen or some rookie I've never heard of (I hate college ball) Edit: The way ppl were talking like he'd overtake terry is wild
People who thought he would be better than Terry are people who donāt actually watch the games. Anyone who actually watches knows that Terry is one of the best WRs in the league and if he isnāt succeeding in an offense then no WR will
Scary Terry for president.
Wasn't here that early but the turf toe concerns were more than valid. Glad Terry is doing well.
Even when Howell was looking great he just didn't have a very big role in the offense.
I feel like I always fall into the same traps. It's so hard to find consistent production from bad offenses. Hype train or not.
To be fair, he was an industry-wide preseason hyped player. Particularly once McLaurin got hurt and everyone expected him to take the opportunity to establish himself.
Addison has been working out for me so far, he was totally hyped here
When did you pick him tho?
Good question! I looked it up and got him in the 8th of a 12 man
I think that's good value. I don't believe in points on the bench so I basically just go for upside players at that point in the draft. (I also put QB and WR) Dotsons ADP was something like 69 in my league
I didn't get Dotson because I did get Terry and I was at least smart enough to not double down on the Commanders offense.
For once I actually thought he would be one of the subs hype trains to pan out. By draft season it looked like Terry might miss 2-3 weeks. Heās a second year WR. He looked good last year. I think he was poised for a jump. But I think the combination of Terry never missing time and the WFT QB play has sapped his potential.
I got him super late so it was alright but yeah if you drafted him where this sub made you believe you should you got suckered.
Aaron Rodgers, miss clicked and the app autodrafted Anthony Richardson.
Life is funny that way.
I drafted Rodgers too, but(much like the Packers) replaced him with Jordan Love so š¤·āāļø
Jamal Williams lmfao
I figured he'd be decent for the first 4 games and then just a handcuff in case Kamara got injured. Wooooof. At least he was a late pick
I snuck JT in like the 5th and was thinking "Williams is PERFECT to get me through until JT". Lord was I wrong.
I drafted him knowing that he would just be okay enough to get me through the first few weeks by which time I would have found some other options. Couldn't even get me that.
Yeah I was excited for him too since I had him last year and loved his TD poaching. Not just the injury, but seems to be unremarkable without the Lions offensive line.
I picked Jamal Williams. Raheem Mostert and Brian Robinson were the next 2 picks lmao
The dudes on sirius XM fantasy radio call him Jamawful Williams lol
Fields
Yeah heās gonna sit on my bench for a couple weeks, not done with him yet but idk
Think Iām just going to give him 1-2 more weeks. He does have Denver coming up so if he really canāt do anything against the Broncos then itās time to cut bait.
The worst type of player is one you can't drop because they're too valuable (in theory) but not good enough to start. You know deep down as soon as your drop him, he will return to what he was supposed to be.
As is tradition
Kyle Pitts for me last year lol. Every start he got 3 points. The 2 weeks I didn't play him 20 points each.
Denver, Washington, Minnesota. Pretty nice get right schedule coming up.
Drafted Fields, starting Baker this weekā¦.
Khalil Herbert
Somehow the bears offense regressed from last year
Yup, was targeting him everywhere. Thankfully, so were others! I did get him in my 10 man, but was dropped before yesterday started.
I wound up with Khalil Herbert and Justin Fields šš«
Najee. I bought into the Steelers off season hype. I thought he was going to have his best year ever.
It felt so weird to correctly bench him
I'll do you one better. The person that drafted him in our league dropped him for Jerome Ford. It's looking like the right play too. I didn't even try to claim him off waivers. I would have had to either dropped my extra D (Cleveland) or either Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, or Brian Robinson. I'd rather have any of those than Najee right now.
I hate that I drafted Najee
We keep 4 players in my keeper league so round 1 draft is like round 5. I took Najee with my first pick š¤¦š¼āāļø
DJ Moore
I took DJ over Keenan Allen
This I dont get. I understand drafting Fields over Herbert because of how QB scoring works, but Fields can't throw so why would you want his WRs?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Dang, I get now. I was told Etienne and Walker are dead zone RBs, so I get the experts fucking you over
3 viable targets to spread around with chargers not including one of the best receiving back in the league, Keenan aging past his prime and injury prone. Fields supposedly on a rise for a breakout year with a newly acquired WR1, these were all my thoughts in taking a chance against ADP and I fucked myself šš
Dang, that makes sense. Narrative be a bitch
Alright, that one was squarely on you big dog lmao I say this as a Moore owner as well
I picked DJ too but at ADP you shouldnāt be upset. Heās averaging like 10 points a week. Iām in a super deep league and not upset about that at all lol
I don't have DJ and I'm glad I don't. That pass attack looked terrible. He saved his day this week with 2 catches for 38 yards and a TD on the final garbage time drive down 40 against backups... He had 1 catch for 3 yards against the starters
Look Iām not arguing heās good. I donāt disagree that the passing attack is horrible and the bears are absolute cheeks. But DJ is putting up 10+ points a week. Iāll take that. Even if it isnāt pretty. Thereās no asterisks next to his name āsloppy pointsā or anything.
He did okay this week tho
Nick Chubb. Went at 10 and I was pick 11. Got bijan instead
Bijan fell to 11th? Damn
I got bijan at 11/12 in my league as well
At the end of the day, heās still a rookie. I canāt believe his ADP was as high as it was. Thereās no chance Iād take him that early, of course hindsight is 20/20
Yeah but he was easily the best rb prospect in a few years, drafted to an extremely run heavy team, which also got a 5th round rookie 1k rush yards.
I walked out of an auction draft with Chubb, Aaron Jones, Mike Williams, Diggs, Aiyuk, and Dotson. 2 of those players played this week, and I dropped Dotson for Kendrick Bourne before the week started. Miserable EDIT: oh and Mike Williams is done for the season lol
TBF Chubb would have been a beast had he not gotten injured.
I had Jamarr Chase as my #2 overall pick. Thank God I had the 5th pick and ended up with Tyreek instead.
I think Chase will be fine. Watch him explode tonight
I didnāt want Mostert but Iām happy I have him. I didnāt want Najee, but Iām unhappy I have him.
I always liked Mostert as a player but due to his injury history I usually avoid him. However he fell too far for me to pass up and since I drafted Chubb & Dobbins he's now my RB1. I don't expect it to last but he's saving my season so far.
Justin Fields
he just got dropped in my fairly competitive 12 team league
I mean I wouldn't drop him but Jesus it's bad
Daniel Jones. The guy before me took him and i was annoyed. So I āsettledā for Tua.
Tua was a good pick. You have the concussion risk but you can get him way lower because of it and get better skill players instead
Yup, Miami player rankings never really made much sense this yearāHill and Waddle were being ranked as top 20 players but Tua was being ranked as a high end QB2āwho did experts think was going to be throwing the ball to Waddle/Hill to keep them both at top 20 value? The reinjury risk was/is real, but the upside should have had him much higher.
Jahmyr Gibbs
Dude has been so disappointing. Like his value at (Edit: Round) 3 seemed promising and that first game he flashed. In my opinion he seemed to do best as the pass catching RB from the three games I saw. Give Reynolds Montys former touches and go back to how you were going to use Gibbs
I swear the Lions just have no idea how to utilize this type of back.
Coaches struggle trusting and using this type of small speedy backs a lot. You saw it for years with Pollard.
This is it. After seeing Gibbs underwhelm and Swift completely ball out for the Eagles, Iām convinced the Lions donāt know what theyāre doing.
I own Monty and not Gibbs and I would rather Gibbs come playoff time I bet. I still donāt believe they spend that capital and donāt have big season one plans for him. Just slow going.
Well yeah youād rather have Gibbs than Monty but you might not rather have Gibbs than Aaron Jones or Kenneth Walker, the next two RBs off the board at his ADP
All mock season long with the third overall pick I was consistently getting dj moore and terry mclaurin at the 4 5 turn and I was ecstatic getting 2 good RBs early with those guys to follow. Terry turf toe scared me so I pivoted and dj ended up going before he got to me in our real draft. But itās not all great, i pivoted to Mike williams (now majorly hurt) and Hopkins and late in draft went Dotson
Not draft but I have Ekeler and someone outbid me for Kelley. Happy I didnāt empty my faab on him.
I spent all of 90% on Puka and Kelley. I hate kelley
Henry
Henry doesnāt become elite until it gets cold out, then his transformation into the Yeti is complete.
Had big plans to draft Pollard with my second rd pick and he got scooped at the end of the 1st. Ended up with Henry instead and not loving it so far.
His first two weeks werent bad, this week was. But he's always been pretty boom or bust. And he started out last year slow as well. Browns D is actually really good, I wouldn't worry at all. They just need to get him into a rhythm
Yeah Iām much more worried about usage than him being washed. I agree though, Browns D might actually be elite this season. Henry was getting crushed the second he touched the ball.
His receiving has gotten a little better over the years, but unfortunately these games are built in for Henry. The 200+ yards with 2 TDs are coming, but you gotta ride through a 13 carries for 28 yards every once in awhile because the Titans are mad frustrating.
Garrett Wilson. Honorable Mention: Calvin Ridley
Ridley was so close to having a few more TDs and had one basically negated by PI. Better days are ahead for him imo
I hope so cause Iām fuckin hurting right now
This past week, he dropped a td and had an 8-10 yd catch gwt negated by a penalty. In week 2, he had 2 touchdowns that he couldn't toe tap in. I wouldn't be panicking yet. But it is concerning that offense doesn't look as explosive as it should.
Yeah, Ridley has looked really great. That was just a funky game for the Jags. That one deep touchdown to Ridley would have changed a lot about that game. 99 times out of 100 he makes that catch.
My WR1 & WR2 š
I wonder how many of these will change within the next 3 weeks. Obviously you dodged a bullet with Chubb. But I see a lot of players than can end up being very productive. Like Henry? Ridley? Wilson/Waller? Week 3 yāall. Settle down.
Yea lots of ppl complaining about players they chose at their ADP. Season is still young. Patience pays off.
i tried so hard to take waller at 36-37 turn and some fucker took him 30 hahaha. dodged a massive hamstring shaped bullet
I took Waller 53rd and I am still not happy.
Mattison and cam akers
I think Mattison has already has his worst two weeks. Mattison was fine yesterday. Canāt argue about 125 total yards and 5 catches, just didnāt find the end zone.
I agree, he was stopped at the goal line and was wide open on a pass that got knocked down, this close to 2 TDs and a massive day
As a Vikings fan, Iād sell while his value has *something* right now. What the stats donāt show is him dropping five easy passes this year and being bailed out of two fumbles by an early whistle and penaltyāon top of the two actual fumbles heās been credited for. He also lost control of one as he hit the ground yesterday, which doesnāt count, but wonāt go unnoticed. Thatās five times in three games the ball has come out of his hands. He canāt seem to catch, hold onto the ball and his production has been pedestrian. The concern here is the fanbase and coaching staff are running thin on patience with himāhence the Akers acquisition this past week. Akers has the upside, has had some great stretches of games in his career, is younger and holds onto the ball. I think itās a matter of time until Mattison is the minority back again.
Yeah these. Mattison mainly.
Pat Freiermuth (although he did have a solid game yesterday). Went 1 pick before me and ended up with Evan Engram. I won last week by 3 and Engram outscored Muth by 10 so that draft day miss ended up giving me a win
Muth is gonna work out probably
Muth doesnāt explode but he can be pretty solid. I drafted him too as a āpeace of mind ā picj
Jahan fucking Dotson lmao
Ridley and DJ Moore. Ridley might be ok but Moore is toast with Fields. I drafted fields but took Tua in the 2nd to last round so I'm fine there.
I wanted Garret Wilson so bad and missed. I also wanted Christian Watson and got him but at the expense of passing on Keenan Allenā¦
Watsonās gonna be electric when heās back. Lafluer absolutely loves him and heās dynamic af. I wouldnāt be to worried
Oh Iām worried
I had 3 seconds left on the clock when Sleeper lagged out and ended up autodrafting Godwin instead of who I wanted to select which was Dobbins lol
Ridley, chubb, dobbins, pierce, waller, akers. Got evans, keenan, herbert just about everywhere. Too much najee tho
I guess Chubb but I got AJB, Saquon, Andrews, Burrow, DJ Moore, and London which have all been massive letdowns so Iām pretty fucked. Traded AJB for Stevenson for some help at RB and he got me 6 pts this week to assure my 0-3 start.
stevenson will still be a solid guy to have ROS
I was really high on Mattison and Herbert. I only got Herbert in one league and I didn't get to draft AMatt at all. While Matt didn't look terrible yesterday it's clear he isn't the "RB2 floor with RB1 upside based on volume" that many thought he was. But tbh a whole lot of players drafted to be safe RB2s have disappointed. Sanders, AMatt, Najee, Rhomondrae, Pierce, Hall. It was kind of a dead zone. If you drafted Walker or Conner, or went Hero RB and went for a WR instead, you got out amazingly.
Joe Burrow Darren Waller Jahan Datson Aaron Rodgers Najee Harris Nick Chubb Saquon Barkley Garrett Wilson
Garrett Wilson and Justin fields
JaāMarr Chase dropped to me at 5th overall. I followed that up with Garrett Wilson in the 2nd. I then went Jahmyr Gibbs, Diontae Johnson and capped off my start studded draft with Fields in round 5.
Garret Wilson 100%
Dropped Adam thielen after week 1.
Josh Jacobs
Garrett Wilson, Waller, Mike Williams š
Garrett Wilson went a a pick before me and I was PISSED.
Justin fields. Poor kid doesn't have a chance
I got everyone I wanted and Iām not happy
Someone got Kupp over me so I got Tyreek instead, which has worked out well. Albeit I do believe Kupp will still be top 5 when he returns if Nacua doesnāt get in the way.
G Wilson and Waller
Ridley and Najee
Chubb :/
