GOD BLESS

Been trying to decide if I should setup a best ball league for CCS. Minimal work, zero opportunity for collusion or tomfollery, and would give people a chance to win cash and bragging rights. I am doing a few best ball leagues using the draft app and could be fun.

Anyone else like Kenyan Drake this year? I'm gonna try to snag him in the mid rounds (5-6) in my money league.

Yeah in rounds 5-6 it's not bad value and worth it, any earlier and I think there are better options at RB/WR

Starters don't play this upcoming week in preseason right? My money league draft is this Saturday and some games are being played during the draft, just hate preseason injuries.

Got 9th pick in a 12 man ppr this year. Right now I'm looking at Barkley, Hopkins, Gordon. I think any of those 3 and I'll be happy.

I thought this was the week the starters play into the second half

This upcoming one? Shiit. Well I draft Saturday night so most games will be played already in case of any major injuries.

The third preseason game is usually the big one...this is why i try to have all my drafts scheduled after this week. I have one friday and it drives me crazy that it is this early

Draft Jimmy G!!! Top 5 production that is going outside the top 12.

Not buying it

I would say top 12 production going outside the top 12

Don't see Jimmy G outscoring a healthy Rodgers, Wilson, Brady, Newton, Luck, Cousins, Brees, and Wentz...but he is definitely worth drafting at his current adp

I lucked out in having early picks with my snake drafts this year...my big money league I have the #2 pick, had a bad year previously and I set the draft order by reverse standings. The two other snake drafts I am in were random drawings and ended up with the #3 pick in the 10 team league. The best part with that is I get 3 keepers and they are Gurley in the 2nd, Hopkins in the 3rd, and J Gordon in the 16th. The other league is an 8 team IDP league where I have the 4th pick. The other league I run is an auction league so draft position doesn't matter.

The first 2-3 rounds are so deep it's not awful to be that late

Yeah I think I have to go rb/rb because the rb drop off is pretty big by the time I pick in the 3rd. Maybe rb/wr if a good wr falls to me in the 2nd
