Bucky's avg draft position is in the 20s almost everywhere in PPR leagues. Where did he go in your drafts?

Amon-Ra St. Brown Det, WR
De'Von Achane Mia, RB
Trey McBride Ari, TE
Lamar Jackson Bal, QB
TreVeyon Henderson NE, RB
Xavier Worthy KC, WR
Calvin Ridley Ten, WR
George Pickens Dal, WR
Ricky Pearsall SF, WR
Javonte Williams Dal, RB
Rhamondre Stevenson NE, RB
Jauan Jennings SF, WR
Roschon Johnson Chi, RB
Jordan Mason Min, RB
Tyler Bass Buf, K
Lions D/ST Det, D/ST

going to handcuff Achane with Gordon....if I can....cutting Roschon Johnson.

solid draft. worry about achane being made of glass so hope you get that handcuff. it might take a while for TreVeyon Henderson to fully take over so might worry about RB early. X worthy could be huge early during Rice's 6 game suspension.

Lamb, pickens and Dak just got juicer. Their defense will be at best mid.

He went 19th in one draft and was a late round keeper in another.

Had another draft last night…12 team .5 ppr and 11 of 12 teams had keepers slated in later rounds. I kept BTJ as my 9th round pick in this draft and had pick 12. Happy with how it turned out:

Qb: Hurts
RB: Henry, Jacobs, Mason, Chubb, Ollie Gordon
WR: BTJ, Mclaurin, Egbuka, Devonta Smith, Mooney
Te: Warren
Def: Cards (facing saints week 1)
K: Aubrey

Start 2 RB, 2 wr and 1 flex.

Pick 12 in a keeper draft can be so valuable. Mainly because pick 13 >>>pick 24 because of all the keepers.

That is a great team

Are yall going QB in the 3rd, 4th, or later?

drafted again last night...12-team league -- 6th overall pick

6-pt passing TD's; start 2 WR + flex

drafted Lamb at #6.and Chase Brown at #19

then it was decision time at #30. Kyren was already off the board. Josh Allen went at #29. So Lamar, Mike Evans, and JSN were the top choices

decided to go QB...and I like this team better than the previous one:

QB - Lamar, Young
RB - Chase Brown, Kamara, Dobbins, Bigsby
WR - Lamb, DK, Pittman, Mims
TE - LaPorta
K - Boswell
DEF - Denver

D.K. fell to pick #67, so I drafted him despite the concerns. We'll see what the Steelers offense can do

Timing of the QB draft is tough.

In mid - late 3rd round if you went RB-RB or RB-WR I'd say consider taking Josh Allen or Lamar.
In mid -late 4th round you can go Daniels, Hurts
In 5th round the Chase owner can take Burrow, or Tee Higgins.

Do not draft Mahomes or Baker. Not sure the value is there for Nix (I think they will run the ball much better and a top defense is not what i want for my QB). I'd also avoid Murray as he is unpredictably good / bad. Also i don't like JJ Love. His WRs on paper are great, but they aren't healthy and come winter Lambeau is hard to throw the ball.

Dak is intriguing. Dallas will win because they put up 25+ points and their RBs are not going to do it on the ground. 9th or 10th round is good for him.

Otherwise, personally, i'd wait till way later in the draft to get a qb. Trevor Lawrence, Geno Smith (likely a wavier wire pick up), Caleb Williams, JJ McCarthy are all there.

Like this team especially with 6 pt passing td.

Any chance you could drop Young for Rashod Bateman? Bateman got paid and if Zay Flowers went down that would be a sneaky good stack. Just with Andrews being old and Isaiah likely injured i think he will get good volume.

My team, in what i thought was an overall well drafted league. 12 team ppr (texags group)

QB: Goff (15), Daniels (last pick likely drop for a kicker)
WR (3): Tet (4), Pickens (5), Pearsall (6), Coleman (8), Bateman (10), Thornton (13), Ayomanor (14)
RB (2): Barkley (1), Bucky (2), Hampton (3), Skattebo (9), Ford (11), Tucker (16)
Flex(2): Likely Hampton and Ford/Coleman
TE: Tyler Warren (7)
DEF: Broncos (12)
K: TBD

I have leaned heavy RB early (at least 3), followed by talent and prime situation WRs (Pickens, Tet, Pearsall, Coleman, Bateman, Thornton, Ayomanor).

I liked getting the Broncos here in the 12th. I think they are the best actual defense in the NFL. The players i was targeting were deep sleepers (and goff who just fell for me) that i wasn't worried about losing.

I added Bateman to my late round draft list

usually been taking Mooney or Mims as my last WR

also looking for Najee in the late rounds

12 team PPR picked at #5

QB - Daniels
RB1 - Irving
RB2 - Walker
WR1 - Lamb
WR2 - Sutton
TE - Strange
FLEX - Meyers
DEF - MIN
K - Aubrey
Bench - Rashee Rice, Etienne, Higgins, Kaleb Johnson, Shaheed, Brashard Smith, Arroyo

I F-ed big time and accidentally drafted Trevor Etienne instead of Travis. Luckily Travis fell to my next pick and I grabbed him but it meant fading TE to fix my fck up. I then dropped Trevor for Arroyo.

Like my starters but not a big fan of my depth.

Lamb went 5. Saquon and Gibbs go 3-4?

Chase, CMC, Bijan, and Gibbs went 1-4

Saquon has a little too much risk for me at #5.

CMC #3?!

I have third pick and I'm still unsure what to do with it.

Haha! That was the guy who also drafted Joe Mixon.

I have 3rd as well in one league. I'm thinking Barkley. I get the historical drop off, but that Eagles Oline is great.

I was 10th in the draft. I feel like my team is pretty deep and I drafted well. 0.5 ppr. Standard rules except there are two flex spots
QB
WR
WR
RB

Getting Lamb and CMC in first 2 picks is a godsend and stacking Dak is a plus. I'm not a fan of Kyren or Breece but I could understand why people like Kyren. I don't get the love for Breece in what will be a 3 rb system. But I like a lot of the squad

Thanks. Yeah. I was dreading the 10th pick going into the draft but felt like I got two guys that I wanted to target. Definitely did not expect Lamb to be there still.

I'm not really excited about having a Jets RB on my team but it'll at least give me a reason to watch Aaron Glenn.

trying to play out scenarios for myself based on ADP and attempting to guess what other players in my league might do at the top of the draft is of course a futile effort, as it will likely go all haywire during our draft, but in a 12 team PPR format, if I do take Saquon #3 overall, would I be nuts to take 3 RBs in the first three rounds?

expected options for my 2nd round pick at #22 are looking to be Chase Brown, Bucky Irving, Kyren Williams types.. seems too high for QB2 (Lamar Jackson).. seems like QB1 Josh Allen (20 adp) and TE1 Bowers (19 adp) are probably gone.. WRs around 22 ADP is AJ Brown at #21 and I will already have his teammate saquon... so do reach down to Ladd McConkey (26 ADP) at 22? Feels like Chase Brown is prudent here if Josh Allen is gone, right? or take McConkey?

for pick 3, I really want to target Trey McBride at #27 overall. If McBride is gone by 27 (which is his adp), AND I didn't get Josh Allen at 22, do I take a third RB already - possibly Kyren if still there, or James Cook- because the WRs around that range do not excite me - Higgins (29) or McConkey (26) ... Or is now the time for Q2 Lamar (24) or reach down from his ADP for QB3 Jayden Daniels (30)?

I feel like my 4th and 5th picks at 46 and 51 overall, I could possibly still get high volume ppr WRs like DK, Courtland Sutton, or X Worthy.

Personally I would take Lamb at #3 and then RBs until the middle rounds where you can get good value for your WR2. Or you could get Gibbs or Bijan (whichever is available at 3) then snag AJ Brown as your WR1.

Either way you get a stud week in week out player regardless of matchup at WR1. If Daniels or Hurts fall I'd snag them in the early rounds.

In a 12 team league RBs will dry up quick so I'd avoid drafting McBride that early. You can fade TE to the middle/late rounds and get good value there (think Njoku, Warren, Engram types).

Also personally I'd stay away from Kyren as my RB1. I'm not sold on him and he was on my do not draft list.

I agree. Personally I'm very down on Saquon this season. I think Philly is going to be extremely cautious and try and limit is workload as much as possible and he'll still get goal line work vultured by the tush push. Philly's schedule is much tougher than last season and will likely be airing it out more than last year.

My board honestly follows like this: Chase, CeeDee, and Jefferson. There's too much risk in going Bijan or Gibbs in the top 3 as both have lost key pieces on the OL and I think there's great values in the early mid rounds in Walker, Swift, Conner, Hampton, Pollard and Hall. For that reason I like starting WR WR in the first 2 rounds.

I dont think you are guaranteed Bucky or Brown at pick 22. Which is why I think at 2 or 3 you must go running back. You might be in the spot where you have to take Hampton in round 2 or potential have Cook / Kyren be your rb1. Then you will have to draft a Conner like RB in round 4. Maybe reach for Pollard in round 5. Those are great WRs to have to miss out on.

Yeah I was going to say something similar. Even in a 10 man having even one fall to you at that mark would be great. Of course I say that and I saw a buddy's 10 man and he got Brown at the end of the 3rd so who knows. But guys that know fake football will be snagging him in the 2nd.

Current ppr ADP across six sites looks like this, but I don't know what yahoo will be recommending to my league mates during the draft

Seems that if both Bucky and brown are gone before my #22 pick, then that means Josh Allen or AJ Brown may have fellen to me. Otherwise, I should probably take Chase Brown or Bucky, right? I lean Bucky if I took Saquon #3 due to Chase Brown having same bye week as Saquon. If I take Lamb #3, I need to hope Bucky or Brown are there, because I'll have missed all the RB1s

Don't take bye weeks into account when drafting. At least I don't.

That's just one week you have to deal with.

Take who you think is the best player that gives you the best shot to win over the course of the season.

yeah, not that big a deal if 1st and 2nd round studs both have the same bye week, whether it's Saquon and AJ Brown or Saquon and Bucky Irving, but if I have a choice at 22 between Chase Brown and Bucky Irving, I value them equally, i'll take Bucky over Chase due to bye week spreading.

Either way though, the decision is nearly the same. Bucky Irving or Chase Brown could be there at 22. I probably need to take one regardless of whether I took Saquon, Lamb or Jefferson at 3, right?

..if I take Saquon, it'll be RB, RB in a ppr draft, but I think that's ok, right? If I take Lamb or Jefferson at 3, I'm hoping Chase Brown or Irving are there, but if not, either way, it should mean AJ Brown and/or Josh Allen is there at 22. Maybe?

Personally I would not be comfortable taking 2 RBs 1/2 in a PPR draft. I like having at least one stud WR in PPR. That probably won't happen if you wait until Rd 3 for a WR.

IMO one of your first 2 picks needs to be a WR. Then rounds 3-5 start snatching RBs while keeping an eye on the high end QBs who may fall. If you go RB/RB then you pigeon hole yourself into taking a WR and you may miss on a QB like Jackson, Daniels, or Hurts if they fall to Rd 3.

that's why i posted initially.. if i go saquon 3, i may not like mcconkey at 22 if AJ brown doesn't fall to me at 22... feel like bucky/chase brown are best avail instead of reaching for mcconkey. if i go Lamb or Jefferson 3, i'll be hoping/ depending on bucky or chase brown at 22 and in trouble if they're gone.

and my latest mock draft on yahoo went way different... yahoo suggestions are vastly different than rankings and avg ADPs on other sites.

3. Bijan (saquon went #1 overall ahead of jamaar chase)
22. AJ Brown (both chase brown and bucky were gone)
27. Kittle (could have gone mcconkey or jayden daniels here. bowers and mcbride were gone as were josh allen and lamar jackson)

I think 27 is too early for Kittle

I would rather take Daniels there. His real time ADP is 30 so that's not a reach IMO.

A start of Bijan, Brown, Daniels then someone like Chuba/Conner/Hall/Henderson as an RB2 at #46 is pretty good start. I think those are all really good options for an RB2 in Rd 4.

Q: Josh Allen
RB: Saquon, Charbonnet, Croskey-Merritt, Rhamondre, Brian Robinson Jr
WR: Garrett Wilson, Tetairoa McMillan, Pearsall, Odunze, Christian Kirk
TE: Bowers, Pitts
D: Denver
K: Butker
