Yeah 16 teams is tough. I am looking at who my WR2 and RB2 will be and yikes.

My original "strategy" when I saw the final format and my draft slot was to double up on RB at the 1/2 turn. That lasted until yesterday morning when I saw Brian Thomas Jr. was available.

I've talked myself into Pacheco as a viable RB2 in a 16 teamer but I think WR depth is stronger than RB at this point. But there are always RBs who come out of nowhere during the season.

ETA: FAAB is going to be nuts

So much of 16 team leagues is getting lucky with injuries since it's so hard to find replacement players. Those bids if a handcuff back actually breaks out and he isn't already on roster are going to be massive.
 
3.03 - Omarion Hampton, RB LAC ⚡

Going for an upside pick rather than a safer option.

RB will be :poop: by the time I pick again.

Song to come later.

@Pip's Invitation is next
Ok, I’m finally done moving my daughter into school and now she wants nothing to do with me :sadbanana: , so I’ve got time to pick my song. And this is a great one:

Oh, Marion - by Paul Simon


Even the lyrics are applicable to the 15 others who were unwise enough to pass on taking him:

Oh, Marion,
I think I'm in trouble here
I should have believed [in] you
 
2.14 - Tee Higgins, WR Cin

Looks like they’ll need to score 50+ points each week to have a chance. Song to come in a few.

@Don Quixote is up if he’s up
Ok I’m loopy after a crazy long day, but the hotel tv only has 5 tv stations and 3 are cable news so time to pick a song.

For Tee’s song, we’ll go with:

The Special Two by Missy Higgins


He may be the WR2 on his team, but Tee is so special that he is a WR1 on our fantasy teams and also in our hearts.

Oh wow, another Missy Higgins fan! Last year my music theme was songs by Australian bands and singers, and I think I featured her twice. What a great voice!
 

No worries, I wasn’t expecting you to, uh, take care of the situation. :laugh:

@landrys hat up

Thank you, guys. Had Pip on the brain. Hey, anybody got a link to the book we are using?

Thanks for picking me up here, Doc. I was honestly drifting off before. Didn’t sleep much on my trip. Jeez.
 
4.06 Courtland Sutton - WR DEN

@kupcho1

Man, I flipped a coin with this pick. Sutton is healthy and I bypassed him. This reeks of the draft I picked Michael Gallup coming off of his ACL and I got Summerpalooza’d to the tune of a 1-13 record.
For some reason, i am picking mostly the same team as last year. Not sure this is a good strategy,.
 
Almost went with this one for (Mrs.) Garrett.

 
4.10 Garrett Wilson - WR, NYJ

Surprised he was still out there - or maybe I missed it on the spreadsheet.

Midnight Oil - The Dead Heart


Peter Garrett is the lead singer. Or Representative Garrett to you and me.

@Northern Voice
THANK GOD. :laugh:

This is what RA's banter with me was about earlier. I told him I didn't want to be forced to draft Wilson and have two Jets on my team. Wilson was my highest-ranked player left.

I didn’t pick up on that exchange. Garrett may have a lot of ugly targets, but a potential 40% target share can’t be ignored.

After he picked he said

@Pip's Invitation

Sorry, man

What that meant: Sorry I didn't take Wilson out of the mix.
