Official #6 pick PPR (strategy thread) (2 Viewers)

[xenon]

For those picking in the 6 spot this year (re-draft / PPR o not PPR too) let's use this thread to share w/ each other for strategy, "who should I pick" and ultimately, draft results.

I have found each year that these posts from various draft spots helps.

thanks and good luck.

I actually think this is a great spot. You're guaranteed either a top RB or WR in the top 6 and a good chance you can get a decent RB in round 2 of Gibbs, Pacheco, K. Williams, D. Henry.

Tinkering with the idea of trading down from #3.

Looking at ADP, I think I lean WR here. Having London or Olave as my WR1 gives me the ick.

Assuming top 5 are:
CMC
CeeDee
Hill
Bijan
Breece

That leaves you with either Chase or Jefferson. I’m more comfortable with Chase. My discomfort comes into play if Chase goes earlier and one of the RBs slip. I would much prefer both of them over Jefferson, which would then force me to draft one and pray a WR falls in the second.

I love this spot.

I love Breece and Bijan but I agree I tend to lean WR. I'm ecstatic getting Jefferson or ARSB here. Jefferson was fine with Mullens. ARSB is a lock for over 100 catches barring injury.

Yeah I agree. I feel the super sweet spot range this year is from pick 4-7/8 in 12 teamers. Trying to come out of the first 3 rounds with 2 WRs/1RB, and really want to get Kincaid in round 4 (he isn't last until round 5 IMO) then go BPA the rest of the way. Guys like Kamara are usually seemingly still avail in rounds 5/6 if you are at the end of round 4 with just 1 RB.

And I agree this 1st round pick is so good b/c you get a top WR or RB and don't have to wait a very long time until you draft again (obviously).

 

[Gally]

Easy just print out the ADP rankings and take the highest guy available every pick. Winner!

Just ask @BassNBrew

(kidding BNB......great back and forth we had on the validity)

 

[-jb-]

You could easily build this roster, with some small variation, and I would be thrilled:

R1 Chase/Jefferson
R2 ETN/Henry
R3 Waddle/Kupp
R4 Walker
R5 Burrow (stack)

By that point ADP is a **** show.

If you want JJ or ARSB, then 8 would be a much better spot and you can still snag a premium guy round 2. I actually hate pick 6 this year as I see a decent drop off after the top 5. (I'm not huge on chase/jj/asrb... but if you are, then 7 or 8 would be better.

I see pick 6 as the WORST of the top 8 picks, but obviously better than 9-12 this year.

 

[Payne]

I have pick 7 and I keep forcing myself to take ASB. However, the RB's that come back don't always excite me. A top WR almost always makes it back.

Still unsure what to do.

 

[Grid71]

Pick 6 is a gem. Assuming 12 team full PPR and start 3 WR with at least one flex, basically means you'll likely start 4 WR each week. Virtual lock to get a top 5 WR round 1. Round 2 pluck an ADP faller or grab another WR. ARSB + Aiyuk or Deebo is a nice start. Get the bring back for week 17 playoff finals. Assumes Aiyuk stays in SF of course.
CMC
Lamb
Hill
Chase
JJ
ARSB

Rounds 3/4 can add LaPorta to your Detroit bet along with a hero RB, another WR or a top QB. Detroit and SF are both projected as top 5 offenses by Vegas. Could do worse than load up on top players from the top offenses to start a draft.

Being in the middle, can often benefit from people reaching. Soak up the value but make sure you fill out the roster appropriately. Knowing you will likely start 4 WR, don't let yourself deviate to other positions too often or you could get stuck searching for a decent WR 3 and flex later.

This is how I like to start, but you should have the option of Bijan or Breece if either of those are your guy & still get a great WR round 2. Would try to not take back to back RB unless you get stupid value like Gibbs coming back. Nice to balance out your roster selections so you don't have to pass on RB value later while making up at another position.

This is the answer. You take one of those guys if they fall to you and if not you take your favorite of Jefferson, ARSB, or Chase. Same for pick 7. Pick 8 you take who is left.

My plan as well from the 6 slot in my long time redraft league. Take one of those 5 and if they’re all taken I like the relative “safeness” of ASRB over JJ and Chase.

After mocking a bunch from 6, I think I’ve convinced myself to take an RB in the 1st 2 rounds though. I don’t love my mocks when I start WR/WR as much. I’m also not a huge QB Early dude but I like my team’s makeup when I take a QB in the 6th round. could maybe slip picking a QB to the 7th round if the players in the 1-5 draft slots all/most have already taken a QB (my league has QBs going a hair earlier than the Sharks around here might recommend/suggest).

But being a bit old school, I’d much prefer getting one of Bijan/Hall in the first so I know I have my stud RB and then fill out the roster from that position of strength/comfort.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I pulled 1.06 in the FBG Bowl drafts, so I’ve been mocking a lot from that spot.

I’ve really liked the results, but I find I have to be diligent about checking every position ever time you’re OTC. So many picks between every pick, so if you want a top 6 TE, you can’t take the risk once a run starts - grab your favorite of what’s left.

It’s never fun to have the draft dictate who you pick, it’s just math. There are only so many elite options, so if you’re on the clock & 4 TEs are off the board, grab Kittle or Pitts or Kincaid because if you don’t you’re gonna be rolling out some combo of Fant & Kmet, or the like.

I do love that you can get one of the top 5 WR, and pair them with either another elite WR or maybe an ETN in the 2nd.

I find flexibility is key - values will fall to you & rigidity will cause you to miss those values.

But I’ve had great results regardless of whether I’ve gone WR-WR, RB-WR, or WR-RB.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I drafted from here on Wednesday. I like how it shook out.

I wanted to go WR-RB because I liked the 2nd round RBs better than the 2nd round WRs.

We start 8 WR/RB/TE, so that plus 6-point pass TDs means most people wait on QBs.

QB: Dak (11), Cousins (13)
RB: Kyren (2), R White (4), Chase Brown (8), Ekeler (9), Hubbard (12), Justice Hill (17)
WR: Jefferson (1), DJ Moore (3), Dell (6), Jamo (7), Cooks (10), J McMillan (16), E Moore (19)
TE: Kincaid (5), Musgrave (14)
D: Jets (15)
K: Sanders (18)

Wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this. 1st post in on the thread, would appreciate all the help I can get. I have the 6th pick.

My question really is, with how my league is setup, what is most important from rounds 1-4 with this spot? Want to see what everyone else's thought process is with no TE.

League Details:
PPR
Pass TD, Rec TD, Rush TD 6 points

1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 Flew
No TE for this league, can flex
1 K
1 D

Thanks guys and good luck this year!

My long time redraft league where I have the 6 pick is also non-TE-mandatory (with similar starting requirements, but 2 RB and 3 WR, instead of 2 RB, 2WR and 1 Flex. Old school!)

for all the mocks I've done, this is the approach from the 6 slot that's seemed "best" to me:
1) grab one of Hall or Bijan (assuming CMC, Lamb, Hill, and one other WR are gone)
2) otherwise I grab ARSB ("safer" stud WR to me) but don't blame anyone for going Chase or JJ here.
3) if I go RB in round 1, I like going WR in round 2. If I go WR in round one, I like going RB in round 2.
4) rounds 3 thru 5 are some combo of either WR/RB/WR or WR/WR/RB or RB/WR/WR. All based on how you have your personal tiers set at each position
5) for all of my mocks, I've liked taking a QB in the 6th round (usual one of Dak or Murray or sometimes Burrow, but I greatly prefer Dak). The only reason not to go QB in round 6 is if all the teams drafting after me already have a QB, so I can wait til pick 7.6
6) in round 7 I almost always go Best Starting RB available since the well really starts to dry up at proper starting RBs after this point

that's my basic strategy at least.

Thanks man! Really appreciate the feedback.

Yeah I have been going back and forth on ARSB and JJ, also have seen J Taylor fall some to. Hard to pass up on Hall or Bijan.

Never really asked anyone that question, knew it was old school just did'nt know if I was over thinking it.

My planning went awry early out of the #6. I really struggled planning for 2.7/3.6 pending a decision on RB/WR at 1.6 and believed I could go 1.6 WR, 2.7 best available, 3.6 Walker III (nearly a round earlier than 4.2-4.4 ADP). Felt ok filling in blanks with RB2-5. Unfortunately, I chose to go WR @ 2.7 and Walker III then went @ 3.3(!), and I found myself in minor panic mode as I'm not thrilled with any RB1 after that. Oh well, we'll see. RBs ended up J.Jacobs (3.6), Zamir White (6.7). Mostert (7.6), Chase Brown (9.6), J.Wright (11.6), R.Davis (14.7).

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I love that RB room. Who did you do with at 1.6 and 2.7 exactly?

Held to #6 spot in FBG sleeper bowl.
Breece Hall went to the 1.04 & Chase and 1.05 so I was torn Bijan or Amon-Ra. Took RB Bijan and Ra went to 1.07
Was hoping WR @2.07 choice of as Olave, London or Puka. Since I was planning Kupp at 3.06 Puka was out. Since I took Atl RB, London was out. Olave it was.
But the challenge was the RB run with both Walker & Kupp available at 3.06
RB options at 3.06 were Walker, Kamara & Aaron Jones.
But WR options were Kupp, Aiyuk, Pittman, Deebo or DeVonta Smith. Much more value options so I took Walker

My roster:
QB: ARich, Geno, Tua
RB: Bijan, KWIII, Brian Rob, Kendre M
WR: Olave, DeVonta, McLaurin, CWatson, Godwin, Juedy, CSamuel, Pearsal, Tolbert
TE: Hock, Conklin, Sinnott

So #6 spot comments: have a plan, have a backup plan and contingency plan.
Be prepared for twists. Like an RB run early, TE run following that followed by the QB value late made a strange draft
Draft value late (like Hock who is hurt) and get your targets early since they are targets for everyone else too!!
Snipping is expected and understood

1.6 Chase, 2.7 London. Went in targeting Kincaid <> 5th round and QB later, but feeling iffy on RB strength I just threw the plan away and grabbed LaPorta @ 4.7 and Stroud @ 5.6.

Nice team IMHO. I was targeting McLauren as a J Daniels truther. [Bijan/Breece] + KWill was an outcome I hoped for.
