Just had a draft today. Last year I did no draft prep and somehow ended up winning it all. I figured I’d implement the same strategy—but my confidence level is not nearly as strong. It’s a super flex (basically a 2qb) league with interesting roster requirements. 0.5ppr.
QB- Lamar Jackson
RB: Jahmyr Gibbs
RB: Tyler Allgier
WR: AJ Brown
WR: Cooper Kupp
WR/TE: Dalton Kincaid
TE: Travis Kelce
Flex (WR, RB): Deandre Hopkins
OP (super flex position): Matthew Stafford
Kicker: Jake Elliott
DT: Kansas City Chiefs
Bench:
Russell wilson
Justin Fields
Gabe Davis
Dameon Pierce
Kendra Miller
D’onta foreman.
Keep in mind—aside from Wilson and Fields—I am planning on making some waiver wire moves to upgrade my bench. I feel like it is a lottery ticket team—because I’m playing with fire with Stafford+Kupp staying healthy. I believe in Kelce—but he’s not getting any younger. Also—I’m not comfortable with my running back situation (in regard to Allgier being my RB2)—but I did go into the draft with the strategy that I wanted the weakest position on my team to be the RB2 spot. I do feel like one of my x-factors is Deandre Hopkins. If he’s decently healthy—I think that my receiving core (wrs+te’s) are solid. I am most likely going to upgrade Gabe Davis once we have our first round of waivers before the season starts.
I like a lot of players on this team, but with Allgeier as a starting RB, I’m not sure she’ll hunt.
She might.
My biggest issue is the olds. While it might work out, I’d rather see 1 or 2 of those guys on your team. But you have all of the older, injury magnet players.
No guarantee they’ll get hurt, but having Adams, Kupp, Kelce, Andrews, Stafford - it’s a lot of older players, most of whom have started showing signs of breakdown.
I think going Kelce+Kincaid set back your depth as well. RB & WR need help, and the bench isn’t particularly exciting.
But with some waiver work & maybe a trade or 3, you could get there. Since you have Kincaid I’d probably look to deal Kelce for a real RB2.
