Atlanta Cracker Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 There a few guys I have targeted and managed to get in a few leagues (C. McCaffrey, D. Henry, Tyrell Williams) but there are also a few that I seem to keep ending up with (both auction and snake) that I wasn't really targeting but keep ending up with based on the value they present at a certain point: DeAndre Hopkins HOU WR Allen Robinson JAC WR Ameer Abdullah DET RB I guess I haven't been burned by overpaying for them in the past enough to have them on my totally avoid list. Was wondering if anyone else had similar experience with these guys or others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 CJ Anderson seems to be falling in drafts and lingers around longer than he should. I seem to take the plunge without looking too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a mistake on my part. Also, I was all in on him a couple of years ago and that burned me severely so I am still holding a grudge.

loaf Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 He burned me too but he's not my RB1 this time. He's a bye week filler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hopkins and Abdullah have ended up on my teams as well. They have fallen really far, I couldn't pass on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to take the plunge without looking too +1 on both these guys. I've had Hopkins when he was awesome but last year owning him damn near broke me. Spent the whole offseason bitching about how I'd never roster him again. Last week in one league I made an in-draft trade to drop back - hoping that someone else would take him so I didn't have to. No one did, so he's on my team. At some point the value exceeds the vomit. Anderson makes me all kinds of nervous but the upside is there.

buddahj Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've done 3 drafts and have been fortunate that I didn't feel like I was settling for any players. The guys I drafted on multiple teams were guys that I was targeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Jacquizz Rodgers made the cut on both of mine. In the first, it was in part because I drafted both Zeke and Mixon (God help me...considering naming that team Assault and Battery). I figured I needed something viable for a few weeks to start the year. Also, I took the plunge a little early on Run DMC. In the second, I was drunk and Rodgers sure looked prettier at closing time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every player but I did draft Zeke, Martin & Ware on one team. Couldn't get any of their backups either lol. I'll be rolling out Coleman & Gio. Gonna be a long season lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def. Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Have also drafted Hopkins in 3 out of 4 redraft leagues where he was available. All 3rd round picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPIchamp Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I keep missing out on some mini TE runs and end up with Ebron, he's been the last guy before the dropoff into sleeper/lottery pick territory. Landed D Martin a few times already too, falls a bit more than he oughta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those drafts I liked to reach a bit for Jizz Rodgers in case he runs away with the job in the first couple weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It's funny how sometimes the players you have sworn off and are avoiding are the same players you end up drafting. It's impossible to deny that players like DeAndre Hopkins and Allen Robinson might rebound. I won't draft them high, but at some point they are impossible to bypass.

Roughrider401 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Jordy Nelson on all my teams wasn't exactly avoiding him though he was falling late in all my drafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylebocy22 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I have Martavis Bryant in 2/3 leagues. I drafted him in the 5th and 6th. I think he has a big year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelredd9 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Mark Ingram seems to usually be available in the mid 5th round which is the point in the draft where the tier 2 players have completely dried up. It's nice getting a running back in the 5th round who has such a high floor. Ingram has been too good in both the run game and the pass game to get squeezed out by a geriatric Adrian Peterson or a rookie. I think that the addition of Peterson means that Ingram will have his role in the passing game increase which is great in PPR. The Saints running backs had 127 receptions last year which is probably the most in NFL history (I'm not sure how to look that stat up). I've been loving him falling to me.
