Ser Not Appearing Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I could be persuaded to join dynasty. And keeper if I'm really needed. If cut the others next year but could swing 4 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Not Appearing Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 After 20 plus years of doing snake drafts, this will be my first auction draft. I've read just a little bit for tips but otherwise haven't really prepared. I don't know enough about what to truly expect to feel like I could prepare, so it feels silly to do so. Long story short, hopefully everybody else is really bad at this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are probably going to have to draft opening night or after the first game at this point. We really need 2 managers and then everyone has to declare their keepers, so it is going to be tough to draft before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I think we can only draft 9/8. opening night or after the first game to not conflict with other drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeyjack Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Interesting draft last night. The growing Ser Not Appearing vs Bronn rivalry was the highlight. I like my starting lineup. Ran out of money and my depth is rough. Pretty typical for me, though I've had a few instances in recent years where I was smarter and saved. Just couldn't resist a discounted DJ Moore for my last dollar (and honestly thought he'd go higher). Even though I like the price, wish I would have replaced him with a cheaper WR3, and then I would have had the extra money to put into QB3, RB4, and WR4.

JJ Lannister Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Love this team, but I have no depth outside of QB but my WR room is the best in the league. QB- Fitz, Darnold, Burrow, Tua RB- Ekeler, Henderson, Edmonds, Lindsey, Hyde, McCissik WR- Adams, AJ Brown, McLaurin, Metcalf, Samuel, Sanders, Green TE- Andrews, Smith Jr DEF- Baltimore, Indy K- Crosby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceluby Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Last night was a good start to the fantasy season for me, as I am very happy with my team. I've got a solid starting lineup and depth at every position. Could use a better RB3 in the near-term, but hoping I can dish for one. Tonight I've got a money league snake draft that should be interesting. QB - Murray, Herbert, Ryan, Lance RB - Mixon, Davis, Hunt, Carter, Williams, Gainwell WR - Robinson II, Thielen, Higgins, Cooper, Boyd, Cooks, M Brown, Gage, M Thomas TE - Kelce, Tonyan D - Buf K - Koo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeyjack Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 For what its worth, I have this league broken into a clear top half and bottom half, and think you're both in the top half. At least on paper before all the chaos of the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Count me as another who loves their starting lineup, but health is a huge risk because I have a QB1, RB1 and WR1 all with injury issues, and depth outside of WR and TE is a real problem.

Whiskeyjack Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Here's my team. QB - J.Allen, J.Hurts (M.Trubisky, G.Minshew) RB - J.Taylor, A.Gibson, N.Harris (T.Pollard, T.Williams, C.Hubbard, J.Patterson) WR - J.Jefferson, C.Lamb, D.Moore, C.Beasley (R.Moore, E.Moore, T.Marshall, B.Edwards) TE - T.Higbee K - T.Bass DEF - San Francisco I know you're all busy trying to get a deal done with Ser Not Appearing, but if anybody wants to deal me a QB3, I'm interested. I handcuffed my starters and they both have viable backups, so won't be desperate until byes hit Week 7. But I'm always open to trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The Sers not appearing were, apparently, QBs. Here's to hoping Wentz stays injured and the Mariota package in Oakland is both real and very, quite significantly YUGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm gonna take a deep breath or 500 before I do anything rash. My unsolicited opinion as an outsider who doesn't have a QB to trade you. I'm sure you're on top of it, but I like thinking about strategy and trade scenarios. I'd keep CMC and Henry. Would split your QB seeking into 2 separate trades. Would sell Robinson or Gaskin (probably going to have to be Robinson) for one QB. And would sell Keenan or Kupp for another QB. I think the RB for QB match is really obvious with one particular team. The WR match is harder to find, because everyone who had money to get extra QBs also had money to get WR depth. But I think I can see a few options out there if you're willing to take the downgrade at WR (i.e. Keenan for a $7-10 WR + QB; or Kupp just for a QB who is worth a bit less than him straight up). Would fall back on trading Henry if there were literally no other options, but would definitely want legitimately good players for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Not Appearing Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Oh, I've got thoughts but I'll keep them mostly to myself. Either way, I'm not trading players at a position of actual shortage straight up for players at a position of artificial shortage that only I truly suffer from. My fortunes in this league, this year may not survive the principle of the matter but I'm rather firm on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
