Official 9th pick (12 team re-draft) PPR - THREAD (1 Viewer)

[xenon]

If there is already a thread on here, I apologize and ask for it to be merged.

If not, let's use this space to help each other out.

If you are picking at this spot and want to share thoughts, ideas and strategies, please use the forum to do so. Last year in my league, the guy drafting out of the 10 spot won it.

W/out having done much research yet, I am thinking of targeting MJD at #9. After the first tier of RB's are gone, I just can't see myself taking McCoy, Forte or Mendenhall before MJD.

Thanks All.

Best,

George

I've got the 9th pick in my big money league. I shared my general latter-half-of-the-draft position thoughts in the 11th pick thread but I'll chime in here as well.

It's a matter of opinion, but personally unless I hear absolutely terrific news about MJD in the next 2 weeks he's pretty much off my draft list entirely this season in all formats. Lingering knee issue, a crappy team, potential rookie QB at some point in the season, and he's already endured a ton of mileage/work. I know some like him to bounce back, and he just might, but to me there's enough warning signs here to pass in the first 2 rounds.

I've done countless mocks on several different sites from the 9 position in an attempt to factor in all the inherent bias from the respective sites draft order sheets that mockers choose from. I'm loving the WR-WR strategy this year since you're almost guaranteed to get 2 of the clear-cut top 5 elite guys (Andre, Calvin, Fitz, Nicks, and White). Meanwhile the RB's available consistently available in the 3rd-5th consist of several guys who I think present TERRIFIC value. Some of these are available beyond the 5th.

Bradshaw

Blount

S. Greene

Felix Jones

Best

Ingram

Lynch

Wells

Grant

Reggie Bush (yes I know it's crazy but I firmly believe the phins are going to throw the ball to him a ton - they don't call Henne captain checkdown for nothing)

Spiller

Bottom line unless someone like Rice falls to me at 9 I'm probably going WR-WR-RB-RB-Finley (or if I miss on him here I'm taking another RB)-RB-WR-RB

If I miss out on Finley in the 5th I'm waiting and taking either Winslow or Keller several rounds later. As far as QB goes I'm liking several of the guys available in the 9-12th round range - Manning, Freeman, Bradford, Stafford, Kolb, and Cutler. I'll likely take 2 back to back once I take the first one.

 

[Trizzler]

Blount and Ingram are awful choices in a PPR league based upon their ADP. Unless you can get Blount in the 5th round or later as a flex fill-in, and Ingram past the 8th round, I just don't see them having much value in PPR format.

I just finished a 10 team PPR draft tonight, and I'm pretty happy with my overall team strength. Drafting out of the seventh spot, I stayed focused on RBs with high reception likelihood despite the run on QBs in the late 1st/early 2nd rounds. Ended up with McCoy and Forte filling in the starting spots, with Bradshaw in the flex. Considering I also landed Andre Johnson and Dallas Clark, it's hard to see my team failing to compete on a high level.

McCoy was easily the best candidate for my first round pick considering the PPR nature. I passed on MJD and McFadden due to my gut feeling that McCoy will deliver a strong performance this year regardless of Vick's own fortunes.

 

[eakfootball]

I've been seeig McCoy fall to here. If this happens grab him. Otherwise I go AJ or Calvin.

 

[Badgers Fan]

I have the 8th pick in one of my ppr money leagues. I don't draft qb or wr's round 1. So it's rb for me. I like balance, I'll take a top notch wr on the way back in round 2. As for round 1, if one of my top 7 (foster, cj, ap, rice, mendenhall, charles, mccoy) aren't there, I'm going to take a "swing for the fences" type of player. I personally am a confident owner who almost always makes the playoffs, so I don't mind not playing it safe with my round 1 choice (did that with slaton the year he sucked, still made the playoffs). Early on I tend to draft balanced so that it sets up the rest of my draft. Starting wr-wr or rb-rb sticks you in a spot that you are only looking at one position. So personally, I'm starting rb-wr to give me flexibility. As for who to pick, well I'm basically going to make up my mind 1 minute before I draft. Depends who's there. Also depends what happens in the following weeks. MJD is a good "swing for the fences" player, but I don't like the offense around him or the big injury so I'm probably going to pass, all tho one good month of him and you can trade him at great value. McFadden has a great looking schedule first 8 weeks, also a guy you can draft, hope for health, and deal high (because his last 8 games look rough). Then there's Frank Gore who also can be a big time player if healthy, and may be more involved in the passing game this year. Then there's an interesting guy that people get kind of bored of and give a lot of hate. If you would like to play it safe, the least likely bust candidate is a guy who busted 2 years ago, Matt Forte. He gets a big boost in ppr, and he will most likely be a top 12 rb and not lose you the league. He throws up some low touch, low yard games tho. He did get hot as the year went on, Carimi helps the o-line, and Tice has the o-line going in the right direction. He also gets the Broncos and Seahawks weeks 1 and 2 of the fantasy playoffs. And fantasy championship he gets the packers, however in week 17 and their playoff match last year, he crushed them. It's up to you. I'd take these 4, follow updates and learn everything you can before your draft, then take which one you feel the best about. While a guy like McFadden can give you top 3 value, a guy like Forte might be the safer choice. Up to you. Good luck!

This is probably the best advice you are going to get.

That is probably where I am at. I am not going to reach at RB, would much rather have a reliable stud at WR than a hit or miss RB. Our league usually drafts RB heavy in round 1, and I am usually the the first to look elsewhere if I have a late first rounder.

 

[mvereb]

It really comes down to value. I'm picking 9th of 10 in a redraft PPR league. A lot of owners in my league (a lot of nfc east fans) are sour on lesean mccoy, so ill have no problem taking him at 1.09 if he falls. At 2.02, best receiver available. I'd lean roddy white.

Picking in the 9th hole can open the draft up. Selecting two WRs with your first two picks can set off a run as you watch RB value fall.

Some potential teams-

1.09- mccoy

2.02- roddy

3.09- bradshaw

4.02- dez bryant

5.09- mark ingram

6.02- austin collie

7.09- matt ryan

8.02- big ben

9.08- jimmy graham

1.09- roddy

2.02- calvin

3.09- bradshaw

4.02- dallas clark

5.09- mark ingram

6.02- austin collie

7.09- matt ryan

8.02- marshawn lynch

1.09- mccoy

2.02- steven jackson

3.09- brandon marshall

4.02- phil rivers

5.09- vernon davis

6.02- collie

7.08- lynch

8.02- santana moss

Just from drafting these teams off the top of my head, id stay away from rb-rb. I, like most, really see opportunity/value in mid round rbs.

Curious to see what others think.

 

[death of the cool]

I do not like the depth at WR this year and I really like the value of the RB's in the middle rounds...so I will most likely go WR-WR

Now to Vick or not to Vick? Most likely I he will be there in my draft, but I think it is a bit of a gamble. I may rather play it safer and have something like

A.Johnson, L.Fitz, A.Bradshaw, P.Rivers

Good looking team...most of my mocks have ended up looking similar to this as well. My only debate is what to do on the 3-4 turn and having the guts to wait until the 5th round to take your first RB. Thing is by taking a QB and TE in the 3rd and 4th you don't need to worry about doubling up until much later...which then allows you to literally take 5 or 6 RB's with your next 7 picks.The flip side is to take at least 1 RB on the 3rd/4th turn or maybe even two...then you're taking the opposite stance and waiting on both QB and TE, and will probably have to take 2 QB's in a row later to at least walk out of the draft with a decent rotation.I think this is the quandry that every FF'er who decides to go WR-WR (and I'm one of them) this year will have to make...and it's going to make or break teams IMO.

 

[mvereb]

I'd agree with you here. While having two stud WRs looks good initially, you have to worry about the RB pool becoming shallow pretty quickly.

It really depends on your starting roster requirement but netting a guy like jason witten or wes welker in the 4th will presently a smaller dropofff to larry fitzgerald than LeGarrette Blount to Steven Jackson. All of this depends on your own rankings, but there is mid round value at WR (really like collie in the 6th)

 

[mvereb]

One other point- I've been seeing McCoy sliding to 9th in ppr drafts so I'd happily take him if he falls

I agree with the above statement and is my biggest concern drafting out of the nine spot. I went WR/WR last year and went with Ryan Grant in round 3 and followed up with Jonathon Stewart in round 4. As you can imagine, my year sucked. Regardless of scoring structure, I've pretty much concluded that if you don't get decent production from at least 1 RB on a weekly basis, it's tough to win.In light of what I've read here and researched, I am definitely taking a WR when I pick @ 9. The dilemma now is who, what position do I take 7 picks later? If Rodgers is there (but he won't be), I'd snag him. Brady could be there? Manning could be there? but I am more concerned with WR #2 or RB #1. It is a PPR league.

 

[mvereb]

The value at QB is definitely better in the fifth-seventh rounds. I don't see that big of a dropoff from the Drew Brees' to the Tony Romos'. I'd go WR-WR if I knew i would land andre and roddy with my first two. If not, its RB-WR OR WR-RB

Based on the mock drafts in this thread, the WR/WR strategy seems to be "Ingram in the 5th or bust". But if Ingram follows the path of Arian Foster during the last couple weeks of preseason last year and keeps generating hype like this, he won't be lasting until the fifth round anywhere but in ADP reports. Unless he tanks in the preseason games, I can almost guarantee Ingram will be going in the 3rd in my drafts. And then who are you left with? Marshawn Lynch? CJ Spiller? Maybe Ryan Grant. Can you live with those guys as your RB1?There's no way I'd pass on a McCoy (in PPR)/Mendy type guy on the 9th. And I'll be overjoyed if someone before me burns their pick on AJ.

The only way I'm going WR/WR is if I can land Andre and Roddy.

 

[glipp12]

I play in a .5 ppr with starting req's of 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 DEF and 1 K. I am thinking of going RB/RB as I feel RB drops off very quickly this year due to few guys not being in RBBC, while I feel there is really great value in the middle rounds at WR, QB and TE.

 

[Ilov80s]

Just mocked it up in a 12 team ppr that starts 3 WRs and 2 RBs

1. AJ

2. CJ

3. Bowe

4. Witten

5. Steve Johnson

6. Daniel Thomas

7. Marshawn Lynch

8. Stafford

9. Ryan Torain

10. Tolbert

11. Roy Williams

12. Fitzpatrick

13.Greg Little

14. M. Bush

Obviously I am really light at RB, however the RB I was targeting kept getting snatched from me. I'd rather take a WR I feel very comfortable with then to take a RB just to fill a spot. I figure between Thomas/Lynch/Torrain/Tolbert/Bush 1 of them will establish themself as a reliable #2 RB. As for my #1 RB, I should be able to put together some nice trade offers with my WR depth. Thoughts anyone?

 

[twistd]

I do not like the depth at WR this year and I really like the value of the RB's in the middle rounds...so I will most likely go WR-WR Now to Vick or not to Vick? Most likely I he will be there in my draft, but I think it is a bit of a gamble. I may rather play it safer and have something likeA.Johnson, L.Fitz, A.Bradshaw, P.Rivers

I feel the same way about WRs and RBs. I've read a lot about there being so much depth at WR. I too like the options much better in the middle rounds at RB. That said I ended up going RB-RB because that is where I thought the value was in this draft. In a slow draft 12 team PPR league I am drafting in now, I took McCoy at 1.10 and took McFadden at 2.03. AJ, White, and CJ were all gone by the time 2.03 rolled around. I just felt that McFadden had too much upside to ignore at that spot. I got Mike Williams in the third and Brandon Lloyd in the fourth. This is a league with 4 pts per TD pass, but QBs went faster than I would have expected. Rodgers went at 1.04, and Vick went at 1.07. Brady went at 2.10. Rivers went at 3.6. Peyton went at 3.08 and Romo went at 3.11. We are at 4.7, which was Gates as the first TE. Interesting draft.

 

[risky]

How does this team look for a 10 team PPR league? My draft strategy was to draft in this order: 1.RB 2.WR 3.RB 4.WR 5.RB 6.TE 7.WR/QB 8.WR/QB and so on. Here is the team I got in my mock draft. Please give me all your input. I really liked this team. My PPR League has 1 QB 2 WR 2 RB 1 Flex WR/RB 1 TE and 1 K, and 1 defense. Also in my PPR league, only 0.5 pts given per reception, 6 pts for TD's for receivers and running backs. 4 pts for QB thrown TD's.

I'm shocked you got Marshall in the 7th. That's an insanely good value for a player who has caught at least 86 balls and posted over 1,000 yards in each of his four seasons as a starter. Wide receivers are absolutely loaded. I don't love the Freeman/Orton combo, but your advantage at WR and TE is apparent. I'd take Bradshaw over Best every time. I think it's safe to label Best as injury prone after his last season at Cal and rookie year last season. Not saying that Bradshaw is a the gold standard of health, but I trust him more. I too, like the Roddy or AJ/Mendenhall combo. Mendy's schedule is cake from Week 12 onward. Overall, a very solid draft.

 

[risky]

Which QB do you think I should target if I am looking to pick QB in round 7 and 8? Do you think a Freeman/Ryan, Freeman/Stafford, Freeman/Kolb or Freeman/McNabb combo would be better? Thanks!

 

[mvereb]

Did another 10-team mock from the ninth hole tonight...Here were the results.

1.09- Roddy

2.02- Mendenhall

3.09- Bradshaw

4.02- Welker

5.09- Vernon Davis

6.02- Tony Romo

7.09- Anquan Boldin

8.02- Marshawn Lynch

9.09- Jonathan Stewart

10.02- Reggie Bush

11.09- James Starks

12.02- Braylon

13.09- Lance Moore

14.02- Gostkowski

15.09- NE Defense

I played it a little more safe with my RBs and came away feeling good. (Start 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 Flex).

My only regret? Going Welker/Vernon when I could have any TE/Colston. I don't love Colston, but Gates or Clark would have made me feel better there.

There's a ton of WR upside late. I'm starting to realize that the drop off in RB talent is immense after the first four rounds. I understand the notion of a 50% turnover at RB, but that happens at WR too.

 

[Ilov80s]

Which QB do you think I should target if I am looking to pick QB in round 7 and 8? Do you think a Freeman/Ryan, Freeman/Stafford, Freeman/Kolb or Freeman/McNabb combo would be better? Thanks!

I like Stafford a ton, huge upside there. The best QB value anywhere is Fitzpatrick. He is going about the 12th round when in reality he should be in the same tier as Stafford or Freeman.

 

[Short Corner]

I'd agree with you here. While having two stud WRs looks good initially, you have to worry about the RB pool becoming shallow pretty quickly.It really depends on your starting roster requirement but netting a guy like jason witten or wes welker in the 4th will presently a smaller dropofff to larry fitzgerald than LeGarrette Blount to Steven Jackson. All of this depends on your own rankings, but there is mid round value at WR (really like collie in the 6th)

I agree with the above statement and is my biggest concern drafting out of the nine spot. I went WR/WR last year and went with Ryan Grant in round 3 and followed up with Jonathon Stewart in round 4. As you can imagine, my year sucked. Regardless of scoring structure, I've pretty much concluded that if you don't get decent production from at least 1 RB on a weekly basis, it's tough to win.In light of what I've read here and researched, I am definitely taking a WR when I pick @ 9. The dilemma now is who, what position do I take 7 picks later? If Rodgers is there (but he won't be), I'd snag him. Brady could be there? Manning could be there? but I am more concerned with WR #2 or RB #1. It is a PPR league.

Just because your RB1 who you took in the 3rd got injured doesn't make it a bad strategy. It means you were unlucky. Turn that around, if you went RB-WR-WR-RB and you just dropped 24 spots for your WR spot and your RB1 out for the year (unless you have evidence that RBs taken in round 3 are more likely to get injured than RBs taken round 1.) I like WR-WR here for a few reasons. First and foremost is that there just aren't that many true feature backs in the league. Too many RBBCs, guys who don't have a solid hold on the job, and guys with injury issues. If I take two solid WRs (AJ-CJ-Roddy-Fitz), I pretty much have those two in my line up all year, and can carpet bomb the rookie RBs, RBBC guys in the middle rounds. I am more likely to get top 5 production out of a mid round flyer at RB than at WR. I am also more likely to get top 5 production out of the top tier WRs at the turn than I would RBs at that spot. In a 12 team QB-2RB-3WR-TE league I would end up with 3QBs-7/8RBs-4WRs-1/2TE

 

[risky]

So I tested out the WR WR strategy from the 9 spot, and I ended up getting my two best teams in mock drafts. The second one probably won't happen in the real draft because I had some stupid ppl drafting in that draft. I would be plenty happy if I got the first team and freaking ecstatic if I got the second team. Here are the two teams. Needless to say, but I will be sticking with the WR WR strategy. Seems to work really well from the 9 spot.

Not sure I dig it. Was hoping go WR/WR but AJ, White, Nicks and Fitz were all drafted so I went with Gore. Thought about S Jackson too!

 

[Autopsy the Clown]

Just did a league for kicks & had the 9th pick in a 10 Team league. ( all owners present but think some might of been better on auto lol ) Wanted to go WR/WR but Mendy was there and I wanted to get Josh Freeman but someone grabbed him so I opted to get MM & Wells before taking Stafford/Bradford combo. End of day I dont put much stock into it b/c it was only 10 teams and my $$ leagues are 12...figured I'd post anyways.

Bumping this from last week, as I'm picking 10th in an upcoming FFPC. Seems 9 & 10 demand flexibility. You can really go in many different directions.

 

[nysportsfan]

Really leaning wr wr (CJ/AJ and Nicks/Roddy) then rb-gates and then bpo.

 

[Texican]

Any thoughts on NON ppr?

Wallace in the second? Who else was available?

Wayne, V. Jax, Austin, Jennings, Lloyd, Marshall were the next batch of WRs taken off the board. I was going WR in round 2. The one guy I thought hard about was V. Jax but went with Wallace. I realize I reached according to value or ADP but I like Wallace more than any of those guys and think he finishes top 5 if not #1 WR in all of fantasy football. Sometimes you have to go with your gut, with Wallace it was also using my head.

I can appreciate the gut pick, but I would have taken VJax without hesitation. Then probably Austin and Jennings, and perhaps Wayne depending on Manning. Was this a PPR league?

 

[Multiple Scores]

Yes, it is phenoms which is .5 ppr for rbs and 1ppr for Wr/Te. I appreciate your input. I had two friends look at that team and both said exactly the same as you did. ADP was off maybe a half to a full round so at least it wasn't a pick where I could have gambled he would be around my next pick.

If there is already a thread on here, I apologize and ask for it to be merged.If not, let's use this space to help each other out.If you are picking at this spot and want to share thoughts, ideas and strategies, please use the forum to do so. Last year in my league, the guy drafting out of the 10 spot won it.W/out having done much research yet, I am thinking of targeting MJD at #9. After the first tier of RB's are gone, I just can't see myself taking McCoy, Forte or Mendenhall before MJD.Thanks All.Best,George

don't get caught up in the names, check the schedules. can you find two RB's with easier schedules than Mendenhall AND P. Hillis? either could finish as the NFL's leading rusher... i'd steer clear of MJD and his injury woes..

 

[HULLOBUDMAN]

I play in a .5 ppr with starting req's of 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 DEF and 1 K. I am thinking of going RB/RB as I feel RB drops off very quickly this year due to few guys not being in RBBC, while I feel there is really great value in the middle rounds at WR, QB and TE.

I think if you have a flex spot like your league it forces you to take RB in one of the first 2 picks. I would love if McCoy drops to me at 9 but I just can't see that happening. I am hoping for Mendenhall and Gore type combo.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion as are both of you. Just curious, why do you feel Wallace was so off the wall? If you look at FBGs rankings there is a certain person(s) ranking (don't know what I can give away for FBG paid content)Wallace as high as their #5 WR. He would not have been my pick either but I don't necessarily find it shocking? Just curious about your insight. Thanks.

I hear ya. I'm drafting in a Phenoms league Sunday. It's not a bad pick, just curious.

Feel pretty happy with my team overall although I really missed out on a few players I really wanted at certain spots. I planned to go WR-WR in the top 2 rounds with two of the top 5 WR's, but the WR's flew off the board so I took Vick. In round 6 Marshawn Lynch and Chris Wells both went right before me, so I settled for Bush. I feel I got a lot of decent flyers at RB and WR that could emerge and give me some solid production.

 

[Northbound Train]

 

[HULLOBUDMAN]

PPR all positions start 1 qb/2rb/2wr/1te/1flex/k/d Double serpentine

I felt you needed to have 3 RB to start in this format, especially backs that can catch passes. Had Mendenhall as my #7 back overall so I was happy to get him at 9.Was hoping for Gore at the turn but ended up with Forte.
