Kansas Crimson

Sorry I missed the draft. Kids practice.

But I kinda like my team.

You never know until they play the games but I hate my team and I predict I'm a seller by week 5.
Stay tuned.

Yahoo gave me a C for my draft grade but I like my team for the most part, except for my internet connection dropping for the last 2 rounds. Oh well, that was just defense and kicker at that point. But we'll see how it plays out.

C Patterson for a trade. I had him last year on a team and I like to change things up with players.

Any offers?

Are you looking to get a running back in return? I've got a couple on my bench, I'd swap one for Patterson. Got Henderson for the Rams or Singletary from the Bills that look to be about in the same tier as Patterson if you're interested.

JUNK sniped Mahomes with the pick right before mine.
So then after he was gone, I just waited it out.
Russ should be fine.

QB can be kind of a crapshoot, there's really a dozen or so that you can win a fantasy league with. In the other league I play in we give the full 6 points for a passing TD so QBs are way more valuable there, they usually go in rounds 2-4.

It's also tough in leagues where you know there are Chiefs fans to get Chiefs because they get picked earlier than normal. I was gonna reach for Mahomes in this one after I saw he was around in round 3.

I grabbed Jackson earlier than I meant to. Was trying to make dinner (fried shrimp po boys) and do the draft at the same time. Sort of lost track what had happened and didn't realize I probably could have waited another round and still gotten a top 5 QB. Oops.

That's a good point. I try to put my Chiefs fandom aside and usually very rarely end up with any KC players on my roster. I have been targeting guys like Justin Herbert and Kyler Murray this year for the added value of their running stats. Josh Allen provides the same but I'm not willing to be the first one to pick a QB which is what you have to do in order to get him.

In round 7 I saw 5 QBs I liked and 6 people ( including me ) without QBs.
When Chesty went WR right before me, I knew I could get one of them in the 8th before his turn came back 'round again so I went RB.

And I probably shoulda gotten Kelce in round 2 but I also saw Mark Andrews was likely still gonna be there when my turn came back around so I passed.

I think that's where being in a league with Chiefs fans benefitted you. Don't get me wrong, I love Kelce and all, but Andrews will probably wind up the #1 TE in fantasy this year so you got the better pick. I think this year with KC focusing on loading up with big targets for the red zone, those plays get spread around more rather than focused just on Kelce so that hurts his value just a little bit.

I actually think Kelce ends up a better TE b/c he's our best receiver now with Hill gone BUT I don't think the gap was enough between him and Andrews for me to loose out on a possible top 8 RB in Aaron Jones ( i would have had to decide to reach on Fournette/Javonte Williams ).

The BUD has Kelce so i tend to not redraft a lot of guys that I have on other teams.

Also, 99's team is pretty damn good and was autodrafted.

Yeah I looked this morning and thought damn that's probably the best roster. Maybe we all messed up and should have just autodrafted, haha.

Not going to lie. This was the first time I’ve ever missed a draft. I don’t mind the CPU going with 2 defenses. Pick a matchup and go from there. Not a bad strategy by them.

Me and Unholy did a deal. Fair trade I think. RB1 for an RB1. My RB in more potent but likes to throw. His RB in a lesser offense but they’ll throw way less and he’ll get plenty of touches.

99s 3 RBs are absolute monsters. With Adams too!? Whew.

Hurts could also be a top 3 QB.
His team is good.

Ha, I completely forgot about the draft. I really only pay attention to the Chiefs, so I have no idea who most of these goomers are.

Do I need to pick starters or something?

Definitely follow this as the year goes on :

Always look for letters by your players names on your app ( Q, D, O ) - this means they might be out - and also look to see the projected score to the right side of each player - if it's zero, you need to sub them out.

You play Ousdahl week 1.
It looks like none of your guys have injury designations so you're good to go.
