Vastly streamlined method from prior years, and decided to throw all my eggs in the McCaffrey basket Gutsy call for a draft of this type. McCaffery is the top player in FF but the Rest of the positions on Carolina are suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCaffrey is going to be a stud like always so not a bad way to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy isn’t special but he’s an improvement over last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_hunt Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 yeah...i had the panthers targeted at 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwill2420 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Was there better teams to choose from other than the Giants? Sure but I had a hard time letting the 2nd rated player in most draft mocks go. I also subscribe to @Agent23 How to draft a fantasy team for idiots.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepard Wong Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 FWIW, I like the choice. Elite RB, starting quality QB and TE, and depth at receiver. No front line WR, but there are plenty of teams with multiple elite/quality receivers that will be there for you later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go through and rank each position 1 though n the same as I do for normal drafts. Where i think mix them all together based on comparative value, in this league I group them under their team. from there, I usually give a "weight” to their rank. For example, if someone like CMC or Mahommes is leaps and bounds better than the number 2 guy at their position, then I may give them a weight of "5 points”. Maybe 2-5 each get “; points”. 6-10 get "3 points” and so on. (Note, sometimes the groupings within the position might make it 7-13... it varies year to year). I think see how much points each nfl team has, since depth at positions matter when pulling from only 3 total squads.... well this year I just did 1-20 across each position, with favoritism to top-10. On K/D/TE just did 1-10 since cant start 2 of most and likely most people won’t start a second TE often. Realized I didn’t have enough time/care this year to go through and calculate all the above scenarios for 27 teams still left on the board. then I decided to combined the projected total points or QB1, RB1, WR1 since all the elite TEs were already gone and that position no longer matters. Doing that, CAR was #1 and ARI was #2... was hoping ARI might be there in round 2 but ended up being the team taken just before my pick now, when looking at teams that regularly use 2 RB, 2WR, elite D or K, and hell maybe even top-10 TE, probably better Squad’s than Carolina for sure, but that method hasn’t won me anything here in a loooong time so now I’m using the asterisk season to try new sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If It wasn’t for the quick turn around I would have went in a different direction. I have 3 teams I want and Alpha can only take 2 depending on who he picks.

But this year I grabbed a top 200 list & added up the projected auction values of guys from each team. what could possibly go wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I forgot Hopkins was on the Cards. That probably bumps them higher, but I'm not sold on Drake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 My research was basically sort by points scored last year and see which teams had the most top 5-20 guys. Saints, Cowboys and a couple others were tough to split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shocked to see how well Drake played after being traded. Especially after having watched him the last 3 years here with the Dolphins, I thought he’d never put it together. Im with you it was probably a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwill2420 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Just a suggestion. Maybe we should make a rule that whoever takes more than 24 HRs to make a pick gets who ever is the highest team on the NFL.Com power ranking not picked yet. That way he can be with his guys all weekend and not worry about it 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
