If you are drafting 8 - 12 (ppr) (1 Viewer)

[xenon]

What are your thoughts? and who are you targeting and why?

After Andre Johnson (he won't be available when I pick #9) there is a log-jam of WR's all of whom should be available?

Moss

Miles

CJ

Wayne

White

Fitz

Marshall

I think we all have a realistic shot at possibly grabbing two of these guys but I am not sure which two or three I want to target of the bunch? My gut tells me White and Marshall.

I am going to avoid Fitz all together and I hope that doesn't come back and haunt me (Leinert).

I think this is the year Wayne slows down (+ I am targeting Addai).

I am worried that Miles was a flash in the pan (lots of weapons on Dal only one ball).

CJ plays for the Lions (enough said).

I am completely unsure about Moss (?)

thus leaving White and Marshall and my gut picks....

 

[abe froman]

you can make an argument to take any 2 of these guys. I understand reservations with Austin, Wayne but the rest are fine. Fitz is a stud and will be a top 5 this year and pairs nicely in a PPR with either Marshall, or Moss. I like Moss to be well over 10 TD's this year with a healthy Brady; pairing him with a stud high reception WR would be great. just grab 2 and dont sweat it.

 

[Zackattack]

I have the 10th pick and plan on going WR/WR.

Moss could easily score the most and is in a contract year= straight cold cash homey!

Wayne too many weapons there. He lost weight and is low risk but the Colts sometimes rest thier guys weeks 15 and 16.

Fitz already hurt the knee. He will be doubled all year. Lineart kinda sux.

Marshall will get planty of looks. Everyone says the Dolphins will run alot. He plays 2 soft teams weeks 15 and 16. he may want to pad his stats.

R.White got the second most passes thrown his way last year. Everyone is hyping Atlanta. Ryan is in great shape. Hard to not like Roddy.

Miles should be back and have a great year. The one year thing scares me a little too.

My gut tells me go White and Marshall too. I would be happy with Moss or Miles too. I think I am staying away from Wayne and Fitz.

Doing Mocks you can grab P.T. in the third and Stewart in the 4rth. Sometimes Romo in the third is a great pick too. I am going WR/WR.

 

[bulger2holt]

At #12 in a PPR I am also looking at Roddy and either Fitz or Marshall. I will be looking at either Romo or Brady at the turn along with hopefully Beanie. Then at the 5/6 turn I am looking at Reggie and Bradshaw.

This is my plan for a 12 team PPR redraft:

QB- Romo 4-1

WR- Roddy 2-1

WR- Marshall 1-12

WR - Knox 7-12

RB- Wells 3-12

RB- R. Bush 5-12

RB- Bradshaw 6-1

TE- Cooley 8-1

Flex- ? Zach Miller 9-12

Bench - Maroney 10-1

 

[hotboyz]

what about in a non ppr with all td's under 40 6pts and all td's over 40 9pts would u still think of going wr/wr im thinking wr/qb

 

[delusional]

Marshall??? @ 1.12?

WRs would will be at 12 and the turn of the 2nd should be

Wayne Moss Djax Calvin Austin.

I think you can go RB/WR with the 1st two. There will be WRs there in the 3-5th range ( boldin, marshall, jennings, white, colston, bowe, the smiths etc

Marshall has gone that early in a few drafts. The end of the third the WR's are picked over. You can grab the Smiths yes. Bowe will make it there but otherwise unlikely.

Jennings, Marshall and White won't be there at the end of the 3rd/start of the 4th round. The others, most likely.

I'm in the #9 spot in a PPR league and would consider drafting WR/WR if the draft falls that way. A realistic and ideal WR/WR situation for me would be Moss in 1st round and then Roddy White, Austin, or CJ in the second round.

I think if you're at the end of the 1st round, taking Moss and hoping for either Reggie Wayne, Miles Austin, Roddy White or Calvin Johnson is a good start. That basically sets it up for you to take a QB combo later in your draft and snag RB's in either rounds 3 4 and 5 or at least 2 of those rounds and getting some value somewhere else if it's hanging around.

Very sound logic here. And that really pisses me off with you picking behind me in Survivor 10 in a couple hours...

We'll see what's available. Picking at the end of a draft, you just have to wait and see at what's left on the board, somtimes you're surprised sometimes it's pretty much cookie cutter.

Best pick there looks to be Ryan Matthews. His ADP is around 2.10, getting him at 3.9 is surprising. Solid team, obviously you need Bradshaw to be a dependable RB2 this year as you don't have much depth at RB but taking a TE and QB in rounds 5 and 6 after going Wr, WR in 1 and 2, that's the way it's going to be.

Why do you think White, Austin or CJ are realistic in the 2nd round????What are the guys in the spots behind you taking at the end of the first and beginning of the second???Maybe Calvin is left for you but more likely all three are gone

Roddy + Austin are usually always there at 2.16. CJ goes before that typically.

 

[Texasmouth]

I already drafted at 11 and I went Marshall/Austin.

Go back and look at the numbers, Marshall could have been the #1 WR in fantasy football last year if he hadn't missed the last game. If he just had his average game for the year, he would have been just behind AJ. This year he is with a better offensive coordinator with a promising young QB and a great running attack.

Miles Austin is not a one year wonder. This guy has battled injury before and has shown flashes of this in previous preseasons. He finally got an opportunity last year and ran with it. He has already shown he can still beat coverages and make plays. All everyone said last year was wait until there is some film on him, well, there was film and he still produced. I expect him to be in the top 5 again this year. There are other weapons on the offense but he is still the #1 WR on a high powered offense.

Not sure what you mean with 2.16?He has picks 1.08 and 2.05 (#s 8 & 17)I have yet to see a money draft where Austin and White are not already gone at 2.05 - and you are right usually (but not always) Calvin is also gone

The league is a 12-team PPR league and I have #9 and then 2.04 (#16).The first 6 picks will be the usual top 4 RBs followed by AJ and then probably Gore. I would put SJax and Moss next , but Im hoping Fitzgerald goes before #9 (but people seem to be dropping him down now).There is also a chance that Rodgers could sneak in around there as well. I also think Brees will go before I pick in the 2nd round.Even though it's a PPR league, I also think Turner will go in the top 15 picks.With the players mentioned above, that would leave the following WRs to wrap up the top 16 players: Roddy White, Austin, Reggie Wayne, and CJ.So I have 16 players that I think will go in the top 16 which would make my 2nd round relatively easy, but I'm really not sure what to do with the 9th pick if the draft starts out with the expected first 6 picks and then SJax and Moss goes next. I really don't want to take a QB that early and the next RB would be Turner but that's too early in a PPR league (IMO). That just leaves the WRs and I have some question marks on Fitz (mostly Leinart), so which WR deserves to go as the third WR at #9?

 

[Captain Hook]

ROFLMAO - I was referring to the original post

but in your scenario at 1.09 - take the one you like the most - for me it would be Wayne or Austin

[loose circuits]

call me crazy, but I'm considering either Matthews or Turner at 1.09...Turner is supposed to be more involved in the passing game this season. Matthews upside is ridiculous. Tough to pass on those guys, but the solid WR's are tempting as well.

 

[wombat104]

I have pick 11 out of 12. League is PPR and new this year is starting 2 QB's. So we start 2QB, 2RB, 3 WR, 1TE, 1 Flex(RB or WR or TE).

I will be going one of two ways, either QB/WR or WR/WR. If the one of the top 4 QB's are there (Brees, Manning, Romo, Rodgers) then I will snag one of them with a WR on the way back. If they are not it will be WR/WR.

I would love to get Moss, I think he has a huge year. I agree regarding Fitz will stay away from him.

I just drew #10 in my PPR, and if Turner is still there, it's a no-brainer, IMO. If you like Mathews that high, you could probably get him in the 2nd and have your cake and eat it too.

 

[Gopher State]

12 team PPR I have the 12th pick

Thinking of going:

Moss, contract year, I think he has one big year left in him

Austin, this is the year Romo breaks out as top 1 or 2 QB?

Like Marshall, but l think the dolphins will really run the ball, pass

Fritz, bumb knee, new QB, I pass

CJ Not sure what to make of the Lions, pass

I like White, but seems a little early for him, but he would be my 3rd opition after Moss and Austin

I will bet that at least one of them - maybe both of them will be gone before 1.12

 

[bulger2holt]

I have the 12th pick (12 team PPR ). I keep flip flopping on what I want to do. I am leaning toward Austin and Roddy at 12 and 13, then either Romo or Brady in rd 3. I love QB-WR connections as I had Schaub-AJ last year. I could go Moss / Austin at 12/13 and have the Moss/Brady combo or take Romo and have the Romo/Austin combo. Thoughts ???

\I have the 9 pick in a 10 team non PPR. If Turner is there I grab him and go with Moss or Wayne at the turn. If Not I'll probably grab Moss and either Brees or Rodgers. I just don't see any RB's left at the end of the first early second worth of those pics. Going WR/WR is an option but if you pick Brady or Romo in the 3rd or 4th you have to spend 4 of the next 5 rounds grabbing rb's and hope you hit on a couple decent starters.Is there an official #9 pick thread?

 

[PatrickT]

1st five picks at #10 from a MFL mock today FWIW:

01.10 Randy Moss NE/5

02.03 Roddy White Atl/8

03.10 Cedric Benson Cin/6

04.03 Pierre Thomas NO/10

05.10 Jay Cutler Chi/8

I could live with that.

 

[Horsec]

From #11, PPR, 4 point thrown TDs, rolling with:

Austin

Roddy

Best

Romo

Ronnie

Maclin

Gonzo

caddy

 

[bulger2holt]

Which is better, 11 or 12 ? 12 seems better because it is only one spot after 11, then you can pick twice in a row. If you stay at 11, the 12 spot picks twice right in front of you. In our league, if you are pulled at 11, you can choose to stay at 11, or choose 12.

That's a very realistic option for me as well. My draft is not for another couple of weeks so I have a lot of time to swing back and forth. I'll be keeping my eye on the Falcons pre-season games to see if he gets any targets from Ryan.

I like Marshall and Roddy more than everybody on your list, PPR obviously.

This is my position as well (White/Marshall) and what I am presently targeting as of this point drafting from the 9 spot. Question is, of the two, is one more risky to leave on the board than the other while sweating out 6 picks?

 

[SoopaCee]

i did many of mocks with the whole wr/wr out the 9th spot......and i still cant get comfortable with the rb's i end up with in the 3,4,5 rds

im hopin that someone falls in my league (like turner, sjax)....becaue the ppl that pick behind me usually always take qb/wr combo (ppr, 6pt tds)

and i know for a fact 2 of the guys will never take gore or sjax (injury risks?? so they say)

so im hopin sjax, turner or gore is there in the 2nd (in a perfect world)....if not, im really considering mendy

but it is tough to pass on a moss/r. white combo
