I doubt KC as they may cut Ronald Jones they feel so good about their situation I could see the Giants…heck I could see back in LA with the news that Akers is still not up to speed and might not be ready for week 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I have Burrow or Higgins anywhere else. How good do you think Hurst will be this year? I love him late in best ball drafts. I really have no idea on Hurst since we saw nothing from the Bengals starters in the preseason. It would not surprise me if he gets heavy usage early on to soften up the defense on the wideouts. He's definitely number 4 on the target list, but teh good news is that the Bengals don't really have a #4 receiver that warrants getting the ball, and while Mixon is capable out of the backfield, he's not Kamara or Ekeler.

So more spots are needed. To me if you are going to handcuff then you basically have no bench for the bye weeks. You have only 5 bench spots. I backup te, 1 back up qb, leaving 3 spots. If you handcuff both your running backs then you only have 1 bench spot. If you handcuff then both those guys are out on their bye…so you really start to struggle to have a back up. This isn’t to say if you want to carry a second defense. So yeah it makes very hard to decide if you are going to handcuff or not. Some guys I just wouldn’t do it…as their backup I don’t think will be good enough to bring value….while some have an injury history and a quality backup that I wouldn’t draft without like Zeke and Pollard or Cooks and Mattison or Akers and Henderson. So anyways to me handcuffing is almost impossible in our league where as in other deeper leagues with more draft spots it’s an absolute. I've never played in a league with 3 WR, 2 flex and a 2nd QB. I would definitely not say most leagues are that way.... And the rest of your post you're basically complaining about more strategy involved throughout the year, which seems like a good thing. I'm in a dynasty league with massive benches and it sucks because there is no roster movement ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles make sense. Forgot about them. But, the Giants would be stupid to not make contact. Otherwise, with no receivers that can stay healthy, Barkley is looking at a massive workload, both on the ground and as a receiver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the Eagles? They already have three backs they like to get involved, I can't imagine bringing in a fourth that doesn't play ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a dynasty league with massive benches and it sucks because there is no roster movement ever. Isn’t that where the trades come in? My dynasty leagues have trades every week and even during the offseason. Lots of movement because people are forced to interact…private messages etc. Yeah sorry if I was complaining…I just like doing the work during the draft to scout out and try to find hidden gems and stash them. With a smaller roster you can’t do that so by the time you need someone they are usually already picked up because they broke out or someone blocks you from getting them. All it does is add strategy and work during the draft more so then waiting til everyone can see these guys playing well during the year and there is no strategy of then dropping a poor player to pick up a break out guy. I just prefer the bigger rosters and trying to dig into the rookies and unproven guys and trying to predict who will break out later.

I imagine it would be somebody’s system he is already familiar with…like McDaniels in Vegas, Mcvay in LA, maybe Minnesota with Kevin O’Connell, maybe back in NE. Seems that happens a lot or at least with a team that runs a similar run scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, in the Champions League, the one thing I would like (a better RB 2), you don't have. On my other team, I'm not ready to tinker with it just yet. Pretty happy with how that one turned out, despite the Yahoo analysis that ripped it apart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Singletary's ceiling is capped. Don't forsee him ever giving me 25 in a week. Jacobs has a better situation to give me the huge week, but he could get shuffled to the back of a 3-way committee as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree I am not sold on Bills backfield….very much a committee. I don’t care for any of the AFC East backfields for that reason. Much prefer AFC South and North with their bell cows mostly. It’s getting much more difficult. Easier sometimes to just go WR heavy and draft a bunch of different backfields and kinda stream them each week. That said I drafted rb like 3 of first 5 rds. On my board they were the top players available even over the receivers that were there. I drafted 9 and had Mixon as #5 overall ranked and had Williams as #10 overall player so I went with them both. Came back later and Dillion was a huge value pick still later and it was impossible for me to pass him up. Think he will put up rb1 numbers for me or at worst will be a great trade chip. Green Bay is going to be very run heavy this year. Edited August 30, 2022 by dgambill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I was driving home so had to let the computer do my picking. Probably did better than I would have if I done it. Pretty satisfied with what I'm starting out with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
