TheBukafax Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Doing some mocks and man the RB situation at 14 is rough. My mocks have JK Dobbins and Antonio Gibson as the best backs at that spot. The best WRs available are DK, Diggs, Hop and AJB. Is this a must draft 2 WR or will the drop off from Dobbins until my next pick he too large?

I did a mock and this is what I came away with doing WR/WR. 1) Diggs 2) AJB 3) Darrel Henderson 4) Mike Davis 5) Damien Harris 6) Chase Claypool 7) Zack Moss 8.

Bink Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 14 seems like a crapshoot to me, and you should go for as sure things as possible. It's the kind of league you can only win by being super active and getting the Boykin's of the world when they pop up. My strategy might be zero RBs. You know your league mates will be fighting for RBs in front of you, so WR/WR is a good play. I am not sure what QB or TE depth looks like but if you could get Waller or maybe even Hock in the 3rd or 4th and land a sure fire QB like Murray in the other, that might work--especially if you are PPR or half PPR. You want to dominate points above replacement if you can--feels like there are 4 or 5 QBs and TEs that will crush the others. I would get the safest, most trustworthy WR/WR or RB/WR available with your top picks, then I would try to go TE and QB, especially if you can get a 7 to 10 rushing TD player like Kyler. Then I would be willing to use that waiver priority aggressively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliTitan3518 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 I hate the zero rb strategy. In a perfect scenario Eckler makes it to you but that’s probably not going to happen. I think you would be better off grabbing a Gibson, Dobbins, Clyde or Najee at the first turn. I would even consider taking 2. The drop off at RBs at the 3/4 turn is bigger than the WRs.

Just worried about the reliability of those RBs to hit RB1 week in and week out versus the WRs I’d have available that would be almost guaranteed WR1 numbers between 2 of them.

IMO Gibson, Clyde and Najee are pretty safe picks due to volume. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Definitely take Dobbins and make sure you do it with pick #14 and not #15. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBukafax Posted September 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 This is how the draft shook out. Shocked Jonathan Taylor dropped to me. Went Taylor and Ridley with my first 2 picks. Next 2 we’re Mike Davis and Pat Mahomes. Took a lot of handcuffs in hopes of injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Lucked out on Taylor dropping. Seems like a pretty solid draft to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that you have a clear #1 at a position in Mahomes. Ridley has WR1 upside. Very solid. Stevenson could hit out of the NE backfield. Just be willing to jump on hot FAs and I think you have a better than average shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBukafax Posted September 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Yeah it was very lucky to have Taylor drop. I was torn between Ridley and Diggs for pick 2. Idk if I made the right call or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who would you have gotten at QB in round 5/6? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured none of the players would give me a points advantage over other teams so I went Mahomes where I would gain a points advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 I'd have taken Godwin instead and waited for Wilson or Rodgers to come back around. But I can't knock going Mahomes there either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
