This is basically for redrafters. I have the 12th overall pick in a 12-teamer. I have been mocking quite a bit the last week or 2, and have found myself taking Tom Brady at the 7/8 turn over and over. I tried snagging QB's at the 3/4, 5/6, and 9/10 turns, but by far, my favorite outcomes are when I take Brady at 7/8. This is not meant to be a QB discussion - more of a who and where do you take your guy in redraft?
TheWinz, good to see another familiar face still posting here after all these years.
I have several
must haves this year, and here are a few with some brief reasoning.
Note, pretty much all my must-haves over the years are guys you can get later in drafts, with fairly strong upside. I virtually
NEVER have a top 5-ish guy as a must have since they are drafted so highly anyway. I'm trying to steal upside and value later in drafts.
CeeDee Lamb - As I just pointed out in the Lamb thread, I think hes almost a dead lock for high end WR2/Low end WR1 production, with a slight emphasis towards early season production. i.e. no Gallup.
Michael Pittman - I usually play in 3 WR leagues, and in drafts you can sometimes get Pittman as an WR3/late WR2. With Matt Ryan there now, I think he should have a pretty solid floor.
Brandin Cooks - Same as Pittman, though you can get him even later. Lack of defense, a suspect run game and very little competition for targets.....all green lights. Check out the depth chart after Cooks.
Seriously? This guy have produced everywhere he has played....when healthy. He finished as WR21 or thereabouts last year, depending on format and you can get him for pennies on the dollar in drafts.
Rashaad Penny - Going late as well, you may possibly get low end RB1 value on the cheap. Though injury concerns are there, so if I get him I might try and handcuff him with Walker. Plus, Carson is now gone.
Ezekiel Elliot - I won't be owning Elliot and Lamb in the same leagues, but I'm usually in many so I can acquire both pieces from a good offense and spread them out across multiple leagues. The Cowboys, for whatever reason seem to be dedicated to Elliot, and he was playing injured all last season. He is another prime handcuff suspect too. If I own Elliot, I will be damn sure to reach for Pollard.
