Dappa, how long does the draft last?

I might be able to get on for a few mins but not too long.

Can I log in, choose some and then let the rest auto?

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Yeah you sure can. It looks like it's gonna be just 4 teams...

I'll set it to have some more options so the draft goes deeper. If nothing else, you get to learn the rough gist of NFL fantasy. I'm in a few different sports for fantasy and the NFL one is the best I reckon.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Okey doke. New setting is 2 QB, 4 WR, 4 RB, 2 Flex... That'll make the draft go deeper. 2 QBs can be dangerous, cos they can score a lot, but that'll be mitigated by the deeper WR and RB lists.

Everything's ready to go. Everyone stay away from Bradford. lol

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

I have a Bradford Jersey... Do you???

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Sorry Gorgoroth, draft goes for probably 20 minutes depending on how quick people pick. Maybe more if they take their full 1:30

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

HA! I'll be getting my Murray one this week.

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

I'm hiding at work, should be able to do this.... Hopefully

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

Hopefully it works on the phone app...

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

Towards the end I had no bloody idea what I was doing!!!

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Hahaha. That's good as long as you went with suggestions. The server ranks the players, then looks at the gaps you have and fills them with best available in that position.

So your team is sneaky good. QB, can't go wrong with Brady and Rogers. They'd be top ten in every fantasy league. After Bell and Petersen at 1 and 2 I'd have taken Rogers.

RB you have Lynch and Gore. Sensational. And with Gurley and Mason, I'd pick one and go for that, and the other stays on your bench "cuffed" as they say. Which means he's there in case Gurley gets hurt for the year. That's what the pro fantasy guys do. Foster is massive too. Will only miss 4 weeks then be a top 5 RB again.

WR: Edelman will be Brady's favourite all year after Gronk. Odell Beckham Junior is a superstar. Cobb might miss week 1 but is awesome too, so you're good there.

TE might be your only weakness. You'll need to replace Kelce for bye weeks. He's good though. Solid but not great.

Pretty good draft. [censored] you for Rogers. lol

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

Go Rogers!!! Ha ha

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

Yeah I like Kelce, not great but hopefully gets solid numbers.

I think getting Rogers and Brady was good, WR seemed to be hard to pick so I went with some names I thought will be targeted a lot by their QB's

Hopefully my RB's do well, I figured Gurley and Mason will get lots of carries all year, Lynch is a star and Gore is still bloody good.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Yeah that's the trick. The eternal argument. Do you go with a WR1 on a team with a crap QB. Or do you go a WR2 on a team with Rogers throwing. When recruiting WR, you actually recruit the QB throwing to the guy somewhat. That's what makes players like Evans tantalising. No one throwing to him, but still gets huge numbers.

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

Did I go too early on the Texans D?

I was actually trying to open it to select JJ WATT, I now realise that can't be done ?

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Actually if the league players prefer you can choose certain positions. DP or defensive player is one. JJ Watt would have gone very high cos he's a gun... but not as high as you were looking for him because technically when he gets his offensive TDs they don't count. Which is [censored] I reckon.

You might have gone a bit early, yeah. But as I said in the chat thread, it makes a lot of sense in that you can only have one Defense in our league, and Seattle and Texans are the only ones that are must haves. Any others, Bills/Rams etc are a bit more speculative. So to be honest, you'll be glad week in week out to have them. I've seen Defenses score in the twenties.

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

Will be interesting, I've tried to move a few players around who won't play this week, like mason and Gurley, but will have them back in Tuesday night for the next weeks games.

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

I was thinking vikes, wasn't sure tho. I think it may be close that game. Should beat the Niners tho.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

My first round pick looking like the most important player in the league. Grooooooooooonk.

[Clintosaurus 7,877]

My first round pick looking like the most important player in the league. Grooooooooooonk.

I've got him in a keeper league where he is worth 1 round earlier than last year. Drafted him in the 13th round 5 years ago - also got Matt Ryan in the 14th round in his rookie year. Makes drafting much easier each year.

[Gorgoroth 13,053]

Brady and Edels did well for me. Quiet second half but nine receptions for 97 yards is decent.
