DRAFT TONIGHT 10:30 PM ET - NOW FULL (1 Viewer)

[Rhythmdoctor]

Does anyone wanna join this high stakes draft at 10:30 ET tonight?  I'm thinking about it and figured it would be more fun if some other FBGers joined as well.  I typically do about 6+ of these a year and unlike Footballguy @Dez, I have yet to win   But 2018 is my year!! Right?  And it could be your year too, for the low cost of $250.  IMO, this high stakes league is a better deal (better odds, lower price, slightly lower grand prize) than the FFPC leagues.

Post here or PM me if you are considering joining and I'll join as well.  The link below takes you to the page with all the upcoming drafts.  I'm referring to the top one which is named: TFC 7/31 10:30PM #1

E2A: Draft is full.  I'll try to update this thread with draft picks.  I don't think you can watch if you're not in the league.  Might be useful seeing how the 'pros' draft before preseason games begin.

DRAFT BY ROUND:

1.01 - Todd Gurley

1.02 - Ezekiel Elliott

1.03 - David Johnson

1.04 - LeVeon Bell

1.05 - Saquon Barkley

1.06 - Antonio Brown

I always start a couple of these threads every summer and never get anyone to join me in a league.  I thought we were all DIEHARD fantasy geeks?  Is it the last minute posting?  You're scared to play in a league with me?  C'mon, let's do this.

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

I'm in.  9 spots remaining.  Yes, I will continue bumping this thread every few minutes.

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

8 spots remaining.

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

This one is going fast!  5 spots remaining.

FULL.  I got the 1.02.  This is my 2nd draft in this tourney, I had the 1.01 the other time and took Gurley.

Who you taking at 1.02? If you don't mind sharing.

Obviously Gurley is my first option.  If Gurley goes 1.01, it would be hard not to take Bell.  DJ has more question marks, imo.  Tough call.  Who would you take?

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

Almost forgot about Zeke.  Bonehead factor though.  I think Zeke is the best player of the other RBs but they have NOBODY else on offense.

 

[Dez]

I just did the 7:30 PM RTS and my team sucked.  On to the next one.

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

@Dez - who would you take #2?

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

Who you taking at 1.02? If you don't mind sharing. 

I'm thinking Zeke now.  Zeke is younger, hungrier, a better overall talent (imo) and will have to shoulder the whole offense.  The more I think about it, i think Zeke is the play here.  Anyone else sway me another direction?  I'm open to suggestions.  Draft in 20.

Another thing I just noticed with Elliott is that he practically has no bad weather games after their week 8 bye.  They have week 10 @ PHI and week 16 at TBB (could pour rain) but no snow or ice games unless PHI gets an early winter.  All other games are dome or at home which can be enclosed, although I'm not sure if they always close the top if there's a weather potential.  I think I've talked myself into Elliott.

I would take DJ for sure if it's PPR.

Bad weather games are good for RBs.

 

[Rhythmdoctor]

Bad weather games are good for RBs.

I don’t know if that’s necessarily true. I’d rather have no weather concerns.
