Would it make sense to keep this thread for the 12-team league and create another one for the 10-team league?

Especially with some people in both leagues, might make it a bit more clear during the season what matchup or league you're talking about...
I thought about that when we decided to have 2 leagues. But, decided against it as I thought even that might be confusing. Even with two threads, people might end up posting in the wrong thread anyway. At least this way, the cluttered mess stays in one thread.

Thanks for doing the ratings @RobinLFC

I'll take a B gladly :lol:

Knew Sanders would drop - Was hoping that it might be one of the other RBs or TEs to make my job easier but sadly that was not to be. Had decided not to take any Eagles players this season but at that moment just went with it, which probably means he'll be injured for most of the season.

Also, have somehow convinced myself Juju will have a great season. Should have probably picked Thielen ahead of him. Most of the handcuffs/rookies I had identified got picked right before I was intending to get them - always 1 round late!

You got points deduction for doing strange things imo (drafting a second QB when you have Mahomes, drafting 2 D/STs or drafting three TEs), even though they were essentially good players.
Two of those was me, surprised I didn't get the worst grade.

:lol:

This actually helped to be honest, my next team gonna be fire.

I was very surprised by my grade, as I'm not convinced by my team. If everyone's fit, it should be good, but in bye weeks, especially at RB, I'm knackered.
Your team is full of upside imo. Matt Ryan is a good bet to lead the league in passing attempts, while Stafford was on fire in the games he played last season. Barkley and Mixon are RB1s the both of them, then you have Thielen as the top dog in Minnesota without Diggs this year, Woods is criminally underrated imo, Hollywood Brown is finally healthy and the Ravens should see an uptick in pass attempts, Diontae Johnson is on path to become WR2 with Ben if JuJu goes back to the slot, Preston Williams was better than DeVante Parker in the games he played last season, Robby Anderson is reunited with his Temple head coach I think, and N'Keal Harry might be the best receiver the Pats have left at this point. Ertz is still a top 5 TE. So yeah, really like your team!

I'm also very high on JuJu, so fully agreed on that part!

So in the 5 days after our draft, David Montgomery went down and is out 2-4 weeks, Kittle is dealing with hamstring tightness and Wentz is day-to-day with a soft tissue injury.

Great start to the fantasy season for me!

EDIT: just read that Reagor is out 2-4 weeks as well with a shoulder injury! FFS :lol:

Draft DAY!! NFC League draft today!

Changed time between picks to 60 seconds as 90 seemed too much during the AFC draft.

Anyone in doubt because of time zones, please check your app - there should be a timer counting down.

T - 17 HOURS!!


Tagging everyone so they get a head's up

Ugh I hate a 10-team league. Too many great players left at the end of the 3th/beginning of the 4th and then suddenly it's a wasteland at the end of the 5th.

I'm not too sure if I'm happy being in 6th place. Pretty much guaranteed that the best 5 RB's are gone, and then its the tough decision whether to go WR, or to drop down to the next RB.
Don't worry, I'm ahead of you and I'll probably cock it up.

T MINUS 4 HOURS!

I remember selecting Bell with the second pick the year he didn't play - good times.

Halfway through my draft recap. Hard though since so many teams have good players in a 10-team league.

You can't expect a good grade if you draft Sutton in the 3th though Rado, apologies in advance :p

What’s with the Sutton hate?! The kid is awesome!
He definitely is, I love him too, but you can draft him in the 4th, sometimes 5th round which means you leave better value on the board... In my opinion of course :D

Once again, take it with a pinch of salt. I definitely don't think I drafted better than any of you but I'm kinda basing this off of my own rankings so makes sense that I think I drafted good players, I guess.

It was very hard to find reaches in this league (10-team and all that) so don't look too much into that, if you think it doesn't make sense it's probably because I couldn't find anyone better. Once again strange drafting behavior (in my opinion) got you negative points here and there.

Was fun guys, looking forward to the season!

On a personal level, I'm happy with my draft but seeing both of my targets Mahomes and DK Metcalf (again!) drafted the two picks before me definitely made my draft worse, and I didn't have to pick AJ Green so early considering Tyler Boyd didn't go until the friggin' 8th round.
