    I will be at work until 5:30 both days.  Any way we could push it to 6?

    That put's it at 11pm for me and the wife.

     

    Friday I am out all day and then have a live auction draft starting at 6:30 my time (1:30 EST) and will last a few hours, so I can't do Friday. Saturday from  6 am to 9 am EST I've got a kids Bday party to be at, but after that nothing.  Have nothing on Sunday, so any time then.  I'm assuming your working from 9-5 essentially?

     

    What's  your Tuesday through Thursday looking like (27-29)?

     

    The season doesn't start until Thursday, so we could do any of the days the following week up until the opener.

    I dont mean to be insulting but i feel like i could list a bunch of 2nd tier RBs or WRs (or QBs for that matter) and make the same point.

     I understand that waiver wire is where championships are made, but honestly why DJ over Kelce (not trying to be cheeky here) Just give me good reasons.  

    Top tier RB's are always going to get more points than the top tier TEs. Another key point is that the Fantasy point drop of RB's from top tier to next tier is 27%. Given that TE top tier drop off is more, there are far fewer top tier  TE's and they produce less than even a second tier RB and WR.  Look at last years points:

     

    All of these RB's were ahead of Kelce:

    1  Todd Gurley  LAR  313.1

    2  Saquon Barkley  NYG  294.8

    3  Christian McCaffrey  CAR  278.5

    4  Alvin Kamara  NO  273.2

    5  Ezekiel Elliott  DAL  252.2

    6  Melvin Gordon  LAC  225.5

    7  James Conner  PIT  225.0

    8  Kareem Hunt  CLE  204.2

    9  Joe Mixon CIN 200.4

    10.  David Johnson ARI 196.7

     

    All these WR were above Kelce:

     

    1  Tyreek Hill KC  241.0

    2  Antonio Brown  OAK  219.7

    3  Davante Adams  GB  218.6

    4  DeAndre Hopkins  HOU  218.5

    5  Julio Jones  ATL  212.8

    6  Mike Evans  TB  198.4

    7  Adam Thielen  MIN  194.3

     

    In Rounds 1 & 2 you can get 1 of each of these, or possibly even 2 RB's.  After these guys, which puts you at the end of Round two and on in to round 3, Kelce will be drafted. However, there were 8 other players last year within 20 points over the course of the season to Kelce (Excluding QBs again). George Kittle was the next closest TE with 21 points behind.

     

    After the 3rd round, you start looking at 100 point drop off from those first and 2nd round RB/WR.  Excluding the freak season last year for the top 3 TE's, you don't see that kind of drop off with your TEs.  I can afford to lose a top tier TE, I cannot afford to lose a top tier RB and need to have as close to the same production replacement as the RB.  Drafting a TE in the later rounds, won't get you that far off. 

     

    It's about shoring up your flex and a backup when the inevitable occurs.

    I for sure go RB and WR early and often (didnt take a QB until the 10th round...Brees).  The forum still seems split on the Kelce/Johnson debate.  I probably change it back and forth 10 times between now and our draft on 8/25.  I think my sticking points are the with TEs there are 5 or so elite and then everyone else but, conversely, I have to have 3 servicable RBs any given Sunday to maneuver around bye weeks.

    Elite TEs don't win championships. 

     

    E. Engram, OJ Howard, V. McDonald, J. Cook, D. Njoku, D. Goedert, M. Andrews, C. Herndon, and J. Doyle

     

    Will all be there in rounds 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11+.

    RB's and WR's are definitely the way to go. Love taking advantage of PPR rules as well. I think QB's are deep this year. I honestly may go for someone like a Deshaun Watson in the middle rounds as a rebound candidate, or Russell Wilson as a sleeper this year. Nice job on winning your league and that semifinal match! Sometimes you need a little Luck to win (no pun intended)! :thmup:

    You can quite literally draft a good qb in rounds 10+, I'm not looking to take one until then, and only if the value is there, could wait till round 12.

    I am very flexible on this topic. What ever you all decide will work for me. Tell me what position I will draft from and I will make it work. Looking forward to another fun season

    After the first three pick their draft position, you will be able to pick from the positions still left open. As for the draft date, the closer to (or within) pre-season week 4 is probably preferable to all.

     

    All,

     

    Preseason week 4 (5 according to NFL because of the Hall of Fame Game) starts on Friday 30, Aug.  We can do it that weekend: Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.  As far as times go, I prefer later in the evening, past 7pm...unfortunately being in the UK right now, that would be around 2pm EST and 11am PST. 

     

    What's your thoughts on this?

    Never mind, I read last years thread again. I’m good to go.

    Ya, the first time we did it like this was last year. I mean if nobody really liked it, we can change it back and essentially what is listed above would be the draft order (unless some spots open up, and then moves can occur).  However, since 1st pick isn't always the most desirable pick in a Fantasy Football draft, we tried out having the last place person pick their draft position and then go from there.  It went more smoothly, to me, when setting the draft order this way, as opposed to the old way. 

     

    But again, if the league would rather not do it this way, we can always change it back.

    I will enter if there's an opening for me. Haven't done a fantasy league with you guys and it sounds fun. Let me know! :thmup:

    Thanks, I'll keep you in the loop.

    Thanks. If we get any openings I'll let you know.

  8. Going to be starting the league again here soon and looking to see who's interested in participating again this year.

     

    Once I get all the ins and outs, I'll start determining draft order.  If you are in, please provide some tentative weekends or  weekdays that you think would work for you.  Thanks and look forward to this season.

    Haha, nothing passive-aggressive here.

    it wasn't, it was pretty straightforward

    PS - Even if you're joking, the idea of the Patriots getting "inside info" from Inman is laughable. It has literally been a decade since the Patriots lost a game to the Colts. I can only hope those posters who mentioned it were being sarcastic. You haven't been a true threat in the AFC in over a decade. Sorry. Truth hurts, I'm sure. 

     

    Is it really beyond the realm of possibility, considering everything belicheck has done in the past to gain an advantage? I don't think it's unreasonable to believe he would approach Inman about the topic if the time comes.

    That is one big assumption.  He needs to come through for us to be a top 5.  We can only hope he does.  

    Which of the following did you mean?

     

    He needs to come through, for us to be a top 5.

     

    He needs to come through for us, to be a top 5.

     

    Subtle difference, different meanings.
