I wouldn't expect anything less when the last gm was an arrogant, over his head drunk

Yeah Dynasty. Lost ODB and Chris Thompson.

My keepers next year are

Bell
Thielen (traded him for Engram and Collins)
Thompson
Dez

Awful keepers now that I have to give back Beckham and Hopkins

- sbroads24

not sure I would keep dez next year, like keeping henry more moving forward

I can’t, I didn’t draft him.

I could keep OJ Howard or Chris Hogan instead

25 man.

Who would you play, pick 2 of the 3

Dede Westbrook
Evan Engram
Hunter Henry

Obviously it’s 1 TE and 1 flex

- sbroads24


Idk why those guys are benching Engram?
He’s easily the top choice to start of that group
U can consistently bet on a minimum of 4-5 catches & 50+ yards
He’s their top pass catching option

Murray 100% deserved to be fired
There’s just some on here who disagree for some crazy reason

Even Tom Brady has bad games
He’s generally as consistent as u get at the position
Much more so than the other 2 choices

I never take a qb early, I would be pissed if I took him in the 3rd or 4th rd and he laid an egg


goff will be one of the later qb's I target next year

Pegula gave Murray just enough rope to hang himself, and he did just that. Problem is the damage was already done.

Good call
Wentz was a guy i had targeted this year

I could see Winston & Mariotta taking the leap next year that a lot thought would happen this year

I had wentz in every league, my second to last pick in every draft


got aj green for him in a trade in the 2k league


gonna be hard to target value qbs for next year as the rivers, big bens will get a bump up


maybe ryan falls deep or carr has a bounce back

Except 3 of his last 4 weeks don't add up to the 4th. That's terrible.

I’d bet Carr has a much better season next year too
I like the Ryan bounce back as well
Seems like it just took the Falcons a bit to hit their stride w the new coach

Engram has 11 catches for over 150yds the last 2weeks

Outside of the true studs at TE,
he’s as good as it gets

- Wetbandit1

I usually take my first qb in rd 10, then either come back wit the backup or really late take a sleeper for backup


this year it was cam and come back with cousins, for 2 qb leagues

and take a flier on wentz at the end


other leagues it was ben and wentz at the end

Last 4 weeks are:

Points | Targets | Catches | Yards | TDs

1.90 6 1 9 0
4.80 7 3 18 0
22.90 8 7 99 1
9.40 7 4 54 0

So using your "last 2 weeks" is weak. That is not "as good as it gets outside of the true studs". One good week in his last 4. The one Eli didn't play in BTW, which hits your argument even harder, is not good. I don't care what he did 8 weeks ago. I care about the last 3 or 4 weeks for guys who aren't elite, and even that's a stretch. Fantasy is about eliminating/minimizing risk. He is the epitome of risk. Westbrook has improved every game the last 4 with no stinkers.

Ryan is a bum. Anyone who ever had him besides last year would know that.

I don't know that Goff will last until the 10th next year. I think he'll be a 1QB.

He did get a raw deal. SOP in sports management is GM’s get two coaches. Someone who researches their takes as much as you should know that. Roch being better than they’ve been in a long time because of players he brought in helps his case too.

agreed


draft flow of course makes me adjust

I usually wait but if others are taking backup qbs, I draft accordingly
