Who do you own the most in best ball (2 Viewers)

[wgoldsph]

Or better yet, who do you own over 50% of.

Currently I've got
Dylan Sampson 67% - Judkins is still going rounds ahead of him
Deebo Samuel 67% - because it's best ball the fact that he'll be hurt for four games won't matter as much.
Dak Prescott 50% - a year removed from being a fantasy stud, no run game or defense means he might throw it seventy times a game.
Brealon Allen 50% - haven't managed to pair him with Hall, but he's still one of my top backup options if he can get vulture TDs
Rashid Shaheed 50% - this number will for sure grow as the month goes on. I'm beginning to believe more and more that he steps into the fantasy wr1 in that offense. The offense will have more creative play calling this season, which will play to his strengths. I also think his route running is under appreciated and he's not just a MVS clone.

Bonus: Jahmyr Gibbs 33% - far and away my most drafted first round player

Dude, I would check about how deep bombs accounted for his fantasy numbers. He's on my dynasty team and I would be a little more hesitant than you. He had to catch at least three bombs from Carr. Let me check Pro Football Reference or somewhere. Very few catches account for his total yards. His total catches per game last year? 3, 4, 0, 8, 4, 1(injured this game). I guess because it's Best Ball. I don't know, man. You think Rattler or Shough is going to throw the ball 55 yards in the air like Derek Carr did. I mean, they were bombing away with him and Shaheed last year, but I'm not sure those opportunities exist anymore. Just my two cents.

 

[ZWK]

In BBM-like Underdog drafts my top players are:

43% WR Adam Thielen
39% WR Michael Wilson
36% WR Ray-Ray McCloud
31% TE Mark Andrews
29% QB Jalen Hurts
26% TE Theo Johnson
25% WR Hollywood Brown
24% TE David Njoku
23% RB Jonathan Taylor
23% RB James Conner
21% QB Trevor Lawrence
21% RB Kyren Williams
21% WR Dyami Brown
20% RB Tank Bigsby
19% RB Alvin Kamara
19% WR Cedric Tillman
19% WR Calvin Austin
19% RB James Cook
19% RB Joe MIxon
19% QB Patrick Mahomes
19% TE TJ Hockenson
19% WR Wan'Dale Robinson

Some of these guys I've been drafting less of lately because their ADP has risen (e.g. David Njoku, James Conner, Dyami Brown, Cedric Tillman) or my opinion of them has fallen (e.g. Joe Mixon, Calvin Austin).

 

[Deamon]

154 best balls so far. Some smaller 4 and 6 man leagues too, so percentages a bit high but I'm still loading up on some guys:

Worthy 56%
Kittle 52%
McLauren 43%
Cook 39%
Higgins 38%
Jacobs 38%

The lower guys I'm getting everywhere I can in Best Ball so far have been:
Thielen
Tillman
Kirk
Tracy
Pittman
Pearsell
Pollard

I mean, they were bombing away with him and Shaheed last year, but I'm not sure those opportunities exist anymore. Just my two cents.

I'm totally aware that a lot of his production came from deep balls, and I do think Shough chucks it long enough for it to be a negligible difference. Not Riddler, but I think Shough gets this season to show improvement across the year so NO can make a choice about next year's qb class.

Based on my eye test, I think he runs good routes, even when he's not running windsprints. He was starting to put it together before the injury, and I really believe he would have ended the year as the wr1 in a classic third year break out of a small school WR. My eye test isn't the best, or that good, but I saw a guy whose game was finally starting to slow down. I believe this year he runs a full route tree, and is able to get over 70 receptions.

Cool. I don't want to undermine your assessment or make you feel bad in any way, but I'm not as sanguine. Look at his receptions. Unless he's developed, I'm not sure about that route running (he runs a full tree, I think—just not as good as Olave from what I can ascertain). But here's a big caveat: I have a habit of being really tough on players I roster—like it's bad to the point of making wrong judgments that wind up in bad trades, so I hope you're right because he's my 5th or 6th and we go five deep at WR if we need to, and I do.

My toughness in evaluation does not mean I'm the kind of guy that sends them Twitter bombs of hate. I generally love the guys I have and there's a reason they're on my team. I traded for Shaheed and it took a useful linebacker to get him at time (it worked out really well), so I enjoy having him. I'm just not sure. If you get return yards in any significant fashion, then yes, sure. But as a pure PPR receiver, I'm just not sure. He was WR1 (12th) in our league through five games last year, so who knows?

 

[menobrown]

just not as good as Olave from what I can ascertain)

Shaheeds last game was one where Olave exited after 2 plays. In their 5 previous games Olave was 100% healthy and this is how it looked entering week 6.

Shaheed- 34 targets, 19 receptions, 338 yards, 3 TD's.
Olave- 28 targets, 22 receptions, 275 yards, 1 TD.

There was no single game anomaly throwing these numbers off.

I know, small sample size, but as an avid camp report reader the drumbeat sounds similar. Not so much he's better then Olave, or am I really trying to make that point one is or the other, but am making the point it might be up for more debate then it's given.

Yeah, I actually know that. There were loud, loud complaints from fans of Olave and the Saints about that distribution. They blamed the coaching and Carr for it. Now, how much of this is because of Ohio State and fantasy, I don't know. And I want it to be true. But I'll believe it when the season is a little more in swing. What have you heard about camp? I haven't had my ear to the ground for Saints camp.

 

[menobrown]

What have you heard about camp?

Olave's had his share of praise as well but loud and steady for Shaheed. Other then the strong camp reports it's a lot of stuff you'd want to hear. 10 pounds weight gain, expanded route tree, more catch and run chances. Kind of stuff usually filling up puff pieces.

JAMO has to be on the radar in Best Ball

I don't mind being disagreed with, especially because I am not going on anything beyond gut here. I just see a real player and not a gadget guy.

I'm obnoxiously clung on certain players, and I just grabbed him in the league I didn't already roster him (of the two I care most about, one of which has return yards, both as my 4th wr) so I come in with rose colored glasses. Of course my guy is the best and worth a billion first rounders, he's my guy. Now do I think he's going to be 12th overall? Of course not. But I'm more than happy with 20ish from my 4th string guy.

Never understood the need to give guys crap in real life. They're on my pretend team giving me pretend points. If they suck it's on me for starting them.
