Be Curious on the Thoughts

[KJ]

I've cut back to one league and we play for quite a bit, but this whole fantasy thing has worn me out so just doing the one this year.

No PPR, TD passes worth 5, everything else is fairly common although defense is only TDs, safeties, etc....pitching a shutout is worth the same as giving up half a hundred, so worthless. And we play "must" one RB and TE/WR/RB can fill out the other four spots, but no TE required and no more than 2 RBs....it's not head to head weekly, it's 17 weeks of grueling madness (yes week 17 counts) and 12 teams, so you go anywhere from 11-0 to 0-11 each week, top three take the cake but first place is a significant payout, as is 2nd.

First time I've ever taken a QB before round 5, I took Rogers in round 2, just trying to adapt to what I think wins this league. We're all older and don't donk our noses into fantasy like the old days, and I even drafted Gostkowski in round 8 I think lol...kicker seems to make a difference here. Had the 6th pick and took Ezekiel which already felt like a loss, but at that spot and RBs still a premium (remember, no PPR) I don't mind it...but wondering if this is the last season I even do this. Results as follows, hope it makes the season interesting at least.

Sorry for the format, but hope it makes sense. Seems a strong QB and kicker in this league has been important, so I went down that road.

 

[ScopeY]

I don't do non-ppr anymore, but I think there is 0 reason to take a qb top 2 rounds. I guess your starting lineup really isn't bad though and should be able to compete. Sucks its non-ppr, but you can only start 2 rbs? Figured that's what you'd like to do before loading on wr's. You know these settings better than I do though

 

[KJ]

Thanks for the reply, it's hard to judge the draft for me. QBs and kickers seem to win this thing...and health as well. Tired of losing because someone is QB strong, and at the 6th pick I don't know how much of a reach Elliot was, but receivers just aren't so relevant as they should be. AB went first and rightly so but my strategy has always been to take guys from scoring teams...this one went haywire, I think several were on autodraft, but felt ARod was a smart pick. Got Brady in round 6 last year and still got it rammed up my cornhole.

Guess I hope Rashad is productive as is the Rodgers/Cobb connect this season.

 

[reNew Orleans]

so youre basically playing everyone each week and there you play 2 RBs (max), 4 WRs, then 4 FLEXs which cant be RBs?

Yes, and Bortles was drafted for the bye week where he has a favorable matchup, and if ARod gets hurt it's a decent backup. It's 1 RB/4 WR or 2 RB and 3 WR, but without PPR I just don't know anymore.

Will still have the NE kicker I guess

 

[KJ]

Didn't really want Decker but got him in round 9 I think. Diggs was second to last round, and Jaron was last round, he might be the Cards' best receiver end of the season. I go into this stuff only trying to draft guys from teams that I project to score and both of them are expendable, but add/drop both cost some coin.

how did decker fall to round 9, esp in this format?

 

[KJ]

Stage is:

QB
RB
RB/WR/TE
WR/TE
WR/TE
WR/TE
K
DEF/ST

D/ST are virtually worthless, only scores/turnovers/sack matter, and yeah, we play through wk 17

I was pretty hammered and still couldn't believe that. West Coast guys and no one believes I guess, thought that to be a gift
