Fantasy football question (1 Viewer)

[Outbackjack]

I am a big fan of fantasy football, though I know it has its detractors.
I’ve enjoyed it for years, and had a perfect championship week last year with AK rolling with 156 yards his 6 TD effort.

Unfortunately, that same weekend, Devante Adams had his incredible 11-142-3 game to beat me.

So on to this year, team Walk of Shame is looking to keep going strong.

Since I’m in ATL, I’ve got late round Marquez
Callaway in my back pocket.

Looking for a little more inside info on anyone you might have a gut feeeling will blow up and why.
As you know, these leagues are generally won not by superstars, but the bottom few on your starting lineup.
If you can find a late round diamond in the rough, it can carry you all season.
Happened to me three years ago with George Kittle, actually picked him up undrafted right before he blew up.

Thanks in advance!!

I think Tony Jones Jr can carve out a role if he keeps making splash plays….I’m planning using last pick on him tbh

 

[Outbackjack]

How about non Saints?

I'm liking Trey Lance to start later on. I also like Travis Etienne as far as rookies go. I use strength of schedule often times as a starting point. How heavily do you factor that in.

I have my eyes on some breakout players. I’ve been a fantasy nut for around 12 years.

As far as people in the top half of the draft who I think will outplay their average draft position;

Najee Harris PIT-RB
Joe Mixon CIN-RB
Darell Henderson LAR-RB
Cooper Kupp LAR-WR
Robert Woods LAR-WR
Jerry Jeudy DEN-WR
Jamarr Chase CIN-WR
Russel Wilson SEA-QB
Justin Hebert LAC-QB
Jalen Hurts PHI-QB

Some late round names id like to have some shares of;

Trey Sermon SF-RB
Zach Wilson NYJ-QB
Michael Carter NYJ-RB
Javonte Williams DEN-RB
Michael Pittman Jr - IND-WR
Devonte Smith PHI-WR

and some high profile names I’d rather avoid at their current average draft position;

Julio Jones TEN-WR
CeeDee Lamb DAL-WR
Adam Thielen MIN-WR
Lamar Jackson BAL-QB
Dak Prescott DAL-QB
Ezekiel Elliot DAL-RB
Saquon Barkley NYG-RB




please feel free to shoot holes in these I’d love to elaborate but don’t want to type a wall of text.

CeeDee is going to have a monster year, I haven’t done fantasy this year. But he’ll put up top WR numbers this season if Dak stays healthy

What kind of league setup and how many teams bud?

Dak’s injuries in his ankle and throwing shoulder are making me severely weary of owning any shares of the Cowboys offense. Not saying I wouldn’t draft any of them if they fell down the draft board severely but Dak’s status right now forces me to give them all a huge downgrade. I think Lamb is an absolute stud but it just comes down to the targets and opportunities for me. I’d take him as my WR3 or preferably WR4 comfortably but there’s immense risk having him at WR1-WR2 where he’s currently being drafted.

I’ve ridden the likes of CJ2K, Ray Rice big year, AK41 rookie year, David Johnson big year, Megatron record year, etc to championships. Last year I put my chips into Taylor, Robinson, but couldn’t get another chip bc of my WRs. They were TD deficient. This year, I think Taylor will really go crazy. That guy is a legit STUD. I am also thinking that Ja’marr Chase will do well, but only if Burrow is his QB. Their chemistry is unreal. Mclaurin has potential to be a top 3 WR…..he’s scary good….yes, pun intended.

12 man league, PPR.

I may be of little use since I don't play in leagues that small so who knows who would be available.

However, these guys may be slept on some.

TE Robert Tonyan
TE CJ Uzomah (people may have forgot about him, but he's TE1 for the Bengals)
TE Dan Arnold, TE1 for Carolina.
Terrace Marshall Jr - will elevate to potentially the best WR in Carolina
WR Russell Gage - ATL, after Ridley and Pitts, Gage will get the targets.
WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, Cleveland. He's a future WR1. He's secured the WR3 role in Cleveland and Baker loves him.
WR Nico Collins, Texans. Who else do they have behind Cooks? He's a RZ target and they'll need everything when Davis Mills is throwing them the rock.
RB Damien Harris, NE. They have a crowded backfield, but he's the best of the bunch.

Really good stuff

Easy now MC. Don’t need everyone figuring out you’re a beast until after our draft.

Regarding fantasy football what position would you classify Taysom Hill as/where would you draft him. At what position?

He can be a BEAST at the TE position if that's where he's classified in your league!
