Hey everyone, this is Smitty from FantasyFootballXtreme. Thanks for the invite, Tommy. This was an interesting draft for sure. We are pleased with our squad so far and think it will do well in this scoring format. We took a little gamble at the QB position so that we could stack other positions, but I think it turned out alright.
Not a big fan of this team. You're stacked at RB but your WRs are below average. That will kill you in a ppr league. When drafting from the 10, 11, or 12 spot in a WCOFF setup, you almost always should go with a 1 RB and 1 WR selection with your first two. It helps you accomplish the goal of getting at least one stud player (that WR1) and, most importantly, it provides for you the flexibility to take the best player on the board at any point later on in the draft. If you go RB-RB with your first two, you're almost locked into going with WRs with your next pick or two even if that is not where the value presents itself. When drafting from the back, if you go RB-RB, you hedge one of the two of them from busting for sure but your WRs are already going to be behind your competition. You were probably shocked to see Peterson still there with your 6th rounder. But, had you known he'd be there, I'm sure you would have taken WR1 with your 1st or 2nd pick, and you should have anticipated that a decent one would have been there anyway.
As a general casual observation of this draft, it seemed like many participants understood and were drafting toward the scarcity of RB value when you can start 3 of them. However, a lot of teams appeared that they forgot about the ppr part and didn't put enough emphasis on WRs early enough and throughout the draft.
Just my 2 cents.
