I was disciplined in all my mocks and got two good RBs. Went out the window when the real draft happened. 

Rofl ... going into my main redraft my plan was forgo  of the top 3 RBs  and likely take ARSB and rock one of the second round RBs I'm High on (Kyren, Pachecho,.... Achane who rostering feels like transporting a load of nitroglycerin down a cobblestone road via horse drawn carriage  ... in both the positive and negative senses of that)

 

What happened.... at 1.04 i took Breece for the second time in as many redraft drafts...😂

Then followed it up round 2 Pacheco like:

 

In my mind im like Omg  i need to hammer Reciever... wen round 3 DK

 

Then the Mcbride Kyler stack fell in my lap round 4/5.... and my idea of discipline went by the way side..

6/7/8/9

C.Kirk/ Ridley/ Worthy/ JSN

 

Then Spears, Daniels, Muth, Cooks

Roller-coaster ride of my maniacal  unintentions.😂😂😂

JSN  abd Daniels seemed like too good of trade bait to pass up at cost.

Speaking of the guy with no (fantasy worthy) QBs took my offer of JSN and Daniels for Tee and Baker 😂🍆

DK ,Tee, Kirk, Ridley...(Worthy _Cooks bench)

With Breece/Pacheco  😂

Nick Chubb - RB

Posted 8/30/2024 11:16 pm EDT

Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) may not return to a full workload until the final month of the season, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com.

even if hes back earlier than December, Ford is a good pick up.  Hines a dart throw.

ESPN’s latest rankings. Rashee Rice moved up from 68 to 48.

I like it a lot - and a fellow Achane enthusiast, I love that:

”if you ain’t first, you’re last”

I’m currently trying to package a deal for Joe Burrow to stack with Chase in my home league.

Tryna get it done before Chase signs…

High risk and I love it! 

[chirorob]

I"m about to start.

Picking 6.  I think it'll either be Saquan or Aman Ra.

Thoughts?

Amon Ra or Jefferson >>>> Saquon IMO. Saquon actually falls to the second in many drafts but you’re not gonna get an elite receiver there.

I dig it, lots of good values especially Allen, Nabers, McBride (pick 73 is absurd). Hopefully you can start up to 4 or 5 WR. If you can only start up to 3 WR I like it a lot less.

Only 3 WR, lol.  This league drafts backs, including trash ones, early and often so I was consistently getting sniped 1-2 rounds early on ones I wanted (Montgomery, Mostert, Chase Brown, Charbonnet, Jaylen Wright, etc).  Josh Jacobs went in the 2nd f**kin round!

I also wanted to go RB-RB the first 2 rounds but Derrick Henry going 6th (Barkley went 5th!) ruined that plan.  So I was stuck racking up WRs as I refuse to reach excessively for RBs just to take em.  Like….i don’t want the Rico Dowdles and Tyler Allgeiers of the world at where they went in this draft…..

Achane as an anchor RB would scare the sh*t out of me. I’d be cool with him as an RB2 or paired with another guy in the top 4 rounds, but Jaylen Warren being your next best guy feels quite precarious. If you can work the waiver wire and find a guy or two this team should be okay given how strong you are everywhere else.

Just read your other comment on RB Scarcity in this league... you zigg when they zagg shoukd work out. 

Gus is a sleeper this year in that O.... sure not sexy but with Dobbins being made if wet tissue paper i wouldn't be shocked to see a Gus Edwards volume based nice RB2 season.

Package something up for Javonte would be a play i like.

Trust me - I’m indeed scared sh*tless, lol.  Whyyyy couldn’t Henry fall to me??! 

[Jetsfan80]

Here was the full draft board.  Keepers in red.  Look at this sh*t.  Look how RBs flew, lol.  

6 RBs in Rd 1, 5 before my pick slot.  Jacobs and Kamara in the 2nd, with Etienne kept for a 2.  Kenneth Walker in the 3rd.  Najee Harris in the 5th.

Madness.

Fantasy Football League Winners: Four Playmakers To Target in 2024

Love me some Kyler and you have a number of guys I like.  But let’s see if we can find you an RB gem on the waiver wire to replace Gainwell (not a true or valuable handcuff in Philly - they’ll go committee with Shipley and practice squader Tyrion Davis-Price if Barkley gets hurt).

Any of these guys out there?

* Jaylen Wright

* Ray Davis

* Bucky Irving

* Jordan Mason

* Khalil Herbert

* Braelon Allen

* Marshawn Lloyd

* Kimani Vidal

* Tyrone Tracy

* Cam Akers

 

Any of these would be more valuable chips than Gainwell, as they’d all gain much more value from their starter getting hurt than Gainwell would.  A few I could easily see ending up RB1s on their teams outright (Irving, Vidal, Tracy especially).

Hell, I’d pick up 2 of them and drop Conklin as well - you don’t need a TE2.

And is that your full bench?

[Jetsfan80]

My issue with Ford at his steadily rising ADP is also represented in your roster:  Even with lowly Najee Harris i still wouldn’t feel comfortable starting Ford over Najee.  

And if you’re not starting Ford early in the season, when he should gobble all the backfield touches….when will you?  A couple times in the bye territory until Chubb gets back?  If that?  

I guess that’s worth it at around pick 105 or so, maybe, which is around where you got him I think.  But I’ve seen him going in the 90s.  He went 89th overall in my draft yesterday.  Too rich for my blood.

*** BREAKING NEWS ***

Edwards-Helaire will miss the first 4 games at minimum.  Carson Steele and Samaje Perine just became the “next men up” at RB for KC.

That's my full bench.

I actually think Conklin might be pretty good, and tight ends get hurt a lot.  I'm checking on the others.

All of those are available.  Gainwell was literally Saquon insuance.   I do happen to think Saquon will have a big year, and I think the Eagles are going to do less of their "tush push" hurting Hurts and increasing Saquon.

Yes but Conklin will be available on waivers whenever you need him.

That’s a very fair price, so disregard what I was saying when it comes to Ford for your roster, lol.

Not when he goes for 6 catches,  80 yards and 2 TDs against SF he won't.

Just now, chirorob said:

lol maybe.  But we know how this will go for Conklin.  He’ll get picked up multiple times over the course of the season but dropped immediately the next week.  He’s gonna be a fantasy whack-a-mole guy where you never start him the “correct” week.

Rodgers peppers his # 1 guy and then spreads it around to the others.  So that’s a lot of touches for Garrett and Breece, and then an unsatisfying target count and target share left over for Mike Williams, Conklin and Corley.

Theyre already basically in order of my preference, but since they’re all kinda lottery tickets, it comes down to preference.  

Akers I have at the bottom, for instance, only because we don’t know for sure who the # 2 guy is in Houston, BUT I think it will be Akers and I think he’d be the far more valuable guy in that role than Pierce would be.  And in which case he would quickly vault up that list once we know for sure.
