TheGuildedAge Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I have been dead last two years in a row. 10 Team Full PPR Have the 8th pick this year. Almost certain McCaffrey, Cook, Kamara, Henry, Kelce, Adams are gone by 8. Guessing Barkley, Zeke, maybe as well. Figure at 8 I should be looking at A. Jones, Eckeler, Chubb, Taylor, Diggs... Just curious what direction you would look, WR or RB. If Kelce or Adams fell I would take them at 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 There's a chance that Kelce is there but if not I'd be very happy with Zeke, Taylor or Chubb. Pretty much in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Badfinger Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Do some research on the guys picking 9 and 10. What positions do they usually target? IMO you have to assume both of them will be taking at least 1 RB each before the draft gets back to you. If you took WR...are you going to take a RB no matter what? Would you be happy with 2 WRs or a WR/TE and then not taking a RB until 28? So yeah, if TK and DA are gone....I would roll with a RB at that pick,,just because if not, I think you will be playing RB catchup all season.

TheGuildedAge Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 Yeah, I went zero RB my mistake last year, draft just kind of fell that way, and my running back situation was awful. Finished 3-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zing Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I would go with one of the following: Chubb, Taylor, Jones, Ekeler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PocketPool Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 If Elliott is there I would take him. Being full ppr I would look at Diggs or Kelce at 8 if Zeke is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) I'd skip on taking Kelce and grab Diggs, Adams or Hill if they fall to 8 and then look to either grab a RB (Ekeler, Taylor, Mixon) or another top tier WR (if one of the 3 above falls to 13, your 2nd). Then look for Gibson, Carson, Dobbins, Monty, Jacobs, or Najee falling into round 3. You really can't have a set strategy going in cause some much can and will change, be ready to take the best player available.

Last year Michael Thomas fell to me early and I eded up going zero RB. Didn't work, ha. But this year I thought same thing. Grab Adams, Diggs, Hill, Kelce, then try for Eckeler, Jones, Carson, Gibson later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take BPA at each pass and you won't likely find yourself playing catchup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaw23 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Kelce may be there at 8. I figure on him going around 9 or 10 in my full PPR league. I would say if Adams or A. Jones drops to you at 8 I would take them. I typically like to take BPA especially in the beginning rounds, until I at least have my starters filled in. So if Zeke, Barkley, Adams or A. Jones made it to me at 8 I would go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastSteve Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 WR is a deep position with how pass happy league is now. Go RB. In PPR. I like Ekeler who I have in a Dynasty PPR. If you can nab Diggs on turn get him being PPR. Otherwise I say take another RB. I think the rest of the guys you named are close. Though just because of injury concerns having a starting level backup I put Chubb slightly at the back of the list. Please see mine. Really need input.

If he is, dude's playing with preschoolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect him to either but if he does don't pass on. Without Diggs I would go another RB. He will still be able to get good WR. Especially in a PPR.

Funny thing is its a work league and we have some real amateurs. Last year Mahommes went 2nd overall and Lamar was a 2nd rounder, LOL. Never know how our drafts will go. Of course both those teams made the playoffs and I went 3-10. My wife took a kicker round 7 and won the whole thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijoerock Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Select the best player who will catch passes out the backfield if a RB is available. RB's are not as deep as WR's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
