I got it back in august...great app and the mock drafting on there is incredible. I should take the blame for not bringing it to CCS's attention earlier
I use draft dominator for drafting. I don't always select their top picks, but they do help me see value.

Level playing field buddy. You can have all my tools and I'll still whip that ass.
I usually do pretty well for myself. 3 champs in a row in one league, won once in another, usually one of the top teams.

Luck comes into play a lot though, but I'd say I'm good for a playoff berth every season.

In my work league I was in 1st all year until the last week which ended in a 3 way tie but my team only put up a pathetic 92 points or something to that nature. And the other two teams put up godly amounts that made me 3rd seed by virtue of them having more total points. I then lost to the 6th seed in the first round.

The league Ive won 3 in a row, my team always seems to peak in the playoffs. Never been first in the regular season in that league but somehow pull out the wins in the playoffs.

I'm usually one of, if not thee highest scoring, team in the league. Then I'll run into an absolute buzzsaw in the playoffs, or I'll have an injury in the first quarter etc.

Would you guys trade thielen for David Johnson? Half point ppr. Johnson has the easiest sos the rest of the way, and I want to unload thielen because I don't expect him to continue this pace, especially when/if cook is at full strength.

I have emmanuel Sanders, Brandin cooks, edelman, kirk and demaryius (who might be traded for Alex Collins). My rb is thin. I have Elliott, dalvin cook, & breida. Ronald Jones as a stash.

I'm assuming you have to start 2 RB's....I would try to do the Thomas for Collins trade first. I wouldn't do both. If you cant make the Thomas for Collins trade, then I would pull the trigger on Johnson.

Thielen gets a lot of targets and its tough to give that up

Thomas for Collins is supposed to be a done deal. Dude said he was going to accept it, but I don't think he's visited the league since, considering my message to him is still unread. It's currently holding up any moves. My thinking on Thielen is he might regress when they get Cook going. The pace he's on is pretty unsustainable, but Cousins does seem to love him. This deal is hypothetical, nothings been offered, I'm just looking ahead. Waiting on Collins. If that deal goes through I might try to package him with Thielen and see if I could get Barkley or CMC or maybe even Kamara. Doubt it on all, considering the owners, but it'd be worth a shot.

Cook and Elliott's playoff RB schedules are real favorable, as is DJ and CMC. Would love to have a combo of the three with one in my flex when the playoffs come. Collins playoff schedule is also nice, which is why I want him. Luckily, I dealt Freeman because I didn't trust him, but it's left me real thin at RB. Especially with Breida averaging about a half per game and Cook still recovering.

EDIT: I might wait until Collins and offer Sanders or Cooks/Collins for DJ. I need this guy to hurry up and accept this trade lol.

I'm hesitant on Cook, when healthy he has looked strong and with a better passing attack that could open things for Cook. But the dude can't stay healthy. I don't think the drop off of losing Theilen will really matter when you add in DJ so it is pretty close in that regards...but if you package Collins and Thielen, to get any of the 3 RB's you mentioned than I think that is a good route to go. I don't think I would let Thielen go for DJ straight up, points wise it is a lateral move and I think Thielen continues to get a lot of targets.

need lineup advice
i've got mixon and cohen as my RBs
sanders, boyd at WR
gronk TE
who at the flex?
michel vs bears, hyde vs bucs, lindsay vs cards
davis vs chargers, edelman vs bears,
engram vs falcons, kittle vs rams...

michel has been on a hot streak but i expect the bears to rebound against the run in a big way..(my homerism in full effect)
