You must play with some weirdo's.

I dunno so far nothing has broken for me to try something different. Going into drafts I have this idea in my head that if it breaks a certain way I'm going to take Tyreek and Waddle and draft Tua late and see if I can win that way.

Falling in love with needing a specific player will destroy your draft.

Get off Reddit. Go do some live mocks with 14 teams… fantasy football calculator are is free and better than average to give you a guide.

I don’t get the fascination with Allen as the top fantasy QB this year.

In a 14 team league having the highest scoring QB that is consistent does help. I played in one of those last year and any advantage helps because it's a bunch of muddled shit.

That or getting lucky and finding this years Puka Nacua.

There are like 8-10 solid QB/WR or top TE combos to target and that’s one of them.

In a 12 or 14… having a top producing QB helps. But if you go Allen at 6, your screwed.

In one I came about 2 picks from having Hill, Achane and Waddle.

Last year, I had Goff / St. Brown / Gibbs... was great, but when that offense fails.. bad week. I won't do a trio like that again.

For giggles...



I'm going to do a quick 14 team mock at the 6 position and take Allen and see what happens. I'll see if I can post results here. It's not perfect and if there are too many 'computer picks' and not live drafters... it can get weird, but should be a good idea as to what's available in each round.

In a 14 team league though, don't go QB 1, just don't do it. You're better off waiting and getting like Tua in round 8.

But you really should be doing is grading sleepers guys you can draft in like round 12-15 that you can get production out of.

Allen usually goes between 30-40

Also depends where you do it, ESPN's rankings are all ****ed up.

What’s missing in all of this is that it’s pretty risky to assume Allen is going to be a top 5 fantasy QB this year, but beyond that I see basically zero chance he’s worth a first round pick.

If he's not a top 5 QB I'll literally eat my shoe. The only way it happens is if he gets hurt.

He's going to get rushing yards and TDs which pumps his value up high.

Hopefully the attachment works...

Allen
Achane
Waddle (could have gone Collins or Evans here and avoided 2 MIA)
C Kirk
D Kincaid
T McLaurin
T Spears
B Corum
R dowdle
Stafford
C Kmet
Josh Downs
Ja'Lynn Polk
Jake Moody - K
KCC - DST


Overall, not a terrible team... I rushed it and could have gone a few different ways in the mid rounds, but I'm still not taking Allen here in real life.

I did a 14 with taking josh Allen Round 1 and got below:

QB: Josh Allen
WR: Chris Godwin
WR: Dionate Johnson
RB: Travis Ettiene
RB: James Cook
TE: Kyle Pitts
Flex: Alvin Kamara


I really like this team tbh in a 14 man league, what do you think? ( I think I can get even better value at some of these spots because our league goes QB/TE early/Family league so bunch of idiots lmao)

Your RB's should be fine although you'll have some bad weeks because they can be hit or miss...those WR's though eesh.
