Summerpalooza VIII: Music + Fantasy Football BENCHES? WE DON’T NEED NO STINKING BENCHES! (7 Viewers)

[kupcho1]

I was thinking about the draft / playlist today and wondered whether, if you gave just the playlist to someone, how many players they'd be able to identify from just the songs. I think my last pick might be one of them if you gave it to a Beasties Boys fan.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

5.09 TE Travis Kelce - Kansas City Chiefs

Run to the Hills (2015 Remaster)

Iron Maiden · The Number of the Beast (2015 Remaster) · Song · 1982

[Ilov80s]

Continuing my process of selecting the best song possible and finding a player to fit, I give you

5.08 Jakobi Meyers / WR / LVR

Shadrach

Beastie Boys · Paul's Boutique (20th Anniversary Edition / Remastered) · Song · 1989

[Long Ball Larry]

5.10 TJ HOCKENSON, TE, MIN

We now live in a world were Mahomes and Kelce are the third and fourth Chiefs drafted

 

[Eephus]

Thanks for the mini-TE run. I picked LaPorta the last time around assuming that he, Kelce and Hockenson wouldn't make it back around. It took a while but they finally are off the board.

I somehow changed the view format and now have to scroll side to side to read the forums and everything is way smaller.

Peck would be a good pick in a NBA music draft for somebody playing through a broken nose.

I listen to the Sirius fantasy channel a lot when I drive around for work. Two different guys today were on saying Hunter is the most underrated player in fantasy this year, a likely top 20 WR and how it's odd that he's viewed so differently than Marvin Harrison was last year.

So you've got that going for you, whatever it's worth.

In all my years of playing fantasy football, I don't think I've ever doubled up on WRs from a single team but Hunter seemed like a good upside pick for the Flex slot.

I doubled up on the Broncos pair of DT and Emmanuel Sanders in 2014. Worked out well if I remember.

It's been a long while but I feel like there was a year where I had Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne and they were the WR 1 and WR 2 that year.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I drafted AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith in this league last year. Didn’t work out so hot, with injuries and an ineffective passing game - but wasn’t terrible.

 

[Eephus]

The Shark Pool says two WRs from the same team raises the floor but lowers the ceiling

The Travis Hunter experience should be fun at least.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I may be sleeping soon. I can send two picks to someone as to not hold draft up and then just link songs tomorrow

 

[kupcho1]

I have a pick locked and loaded that's so ill advised it'll make your head spin. There are two reasons I make this pick: (1) song (natch) and (2) new team name.

Let's go @Long Ball Larry and @Dr. Octopus ! This is incentive to get your picks in tonight. Don't let me sleep on this debacle.

 

[Yo Mama]

I can take a list too

They didn't throw much because they didn't need to. I wouldn't call that "ineffective."

Ok, should have said “low volume”.
