just bookmark your roster page bro. the main roster page and especially the live gameday matchup page, compared to last year are definitely streets ahead.
Cool storyYes everybody thank you for your opinions clearly I made mine up. For fucks sake.
Sure. Were there any RBs or WRs that averaged 26 PPG last season? Right now, he's averaging about 35.
I get that the gap between great and good RBs is larger than the gap between great and good QBs...but it reaches the point where a pick can carry a team.
Right, I understand that, and the claim I'm making is that, looking into the future, the week to week boost that a team receives from a 30-35 point performer can offset the risk. Comparing him to a Matt Ryan or Aaron Rodgers is fine until he puts up a 45-50 point night, which can pull a sagging team into the playoffs by itself if timed right. Most QBs are absolutely not worth an early pick, but I'd argue Mahomes is at least a second rounder in most formats.It’s not necessarily just the gaps though. It’s what you miss as a function of what others are taking. Even if it makes sense as a differential, like you’re suggesting (like saying the drop off between mahommes and the next QB is massive)... well, why take him 1OA if people don’t hop on the QB train until round 3/4? You can take him, sure, but you’ll miss practically all of the RB1 and/or WR1 talent. The same can’t be said for QBs, where QB1 statistically exists through nearly the entire draft. Mahommes might be that much better, there’s also significantly more choices at QB.
Honestly, I’m not sure why TEs don’t go earlier. That part confuses me. They’re not trustworthy which is true, but the 2-3 elite TEs out there can be just as good as a top WR, and there are so few of them.
As a Mahomes owner lucky enough to have drafted him in the 12th round last year and was able to keep him for the same round this year, I couldn't agree more. Should have gone first round in every draft. My team had a mediocre week and I'll still be the top scorer this week.I definitely think Mahommes should be going significantly earlier than every other QB (do not understand the Rodgers craze for fantasy). I also think explosiveness/deviation is useful in a great QB because there are so few games in football, so yeah it can make or break a team.
But I would still think the most important part of drafting is crowd mentality. Even if it makes sense numerically, if the crowd is rushing RBs in the top 10, your median RB pick number is governed by the crowd. So, this might sound really stupid but... mahommes doesn’t go early because he goes later. Lol
I'm going undefeated (for at least two weeks)
Yes. My big payout league loli assume you must mean some other league, because you're playing baker mayfield against me in this league.
Browns gonna BrownsWhy do you have so little faith in Chubb?
Nick Chubb really out here trying to have that 50 point game I needed two weeks ago.
He could have gotten zero and you'd still have smoked me.
