What I’m saying here is that if you are drafting in the next two weeks, you shouldn’t even bother selecting a kicker or defense. No this isn’t a typo and yes I do know these aren’t kickers or defensive units. Crowder is the ideal receiver in an Alex Smith offense, creating separation with the best of them, while Cole was the #2 fantasy receiver over the final five weeks once the Jags finally gave him a chance to start. On the bench, I claimed more of Aaron Rodgers‘ guaranteed touchdowns then two cheap players I am especially fond of this year. Sure, it wouldn’t be wise to bank on that again, but he will surely finish above WR25 where he is being drafted. Likewise, Jones was spectacular last season, finishing as a top five wide receiver. He might not be that effective this year, but he is certainly a good bet to outperform his $11 price tag. They are somehow ignoring the fact, however, that he has been a top 12 fantasy receiver each of the past three years despite being in crowded receiving cores. Cooks, meanwhile, is going vastly under-drafted, as everyone seems to be expecting him to merely fill in Sammy Watkins‘ lackluster production. Aaron Rodgers is going to get his 35 touchdowns, and with the lack of receiving competition on this team, you can bank on another dozen going to Adams. For now, I’ll gladly scoop him up at this price though and ride him until Sony comes back for me.ĭavante Adams, Brandin Cooks, Marvin Jones, Randall Cobb, Jamison Crowder, Keelan ColeĪmong the top ten receivers, Adams’ price is clearly the best value for now. For what it’s worth, Burkhead is seeing his average auction salary climb daily, so in a week, he may cost nine or ten bucks. Those will surely come into play when byes and injuries set in. To round things out, I grabbed two safe week-to-week flexs in Duke and Rex. I’m expecting one to break out and be my every week third running back behind the two bell-cows I bought. Behind them, I’ve got two potential touchdown monsters in Lynch and Michel. I had enough money to buy Saquon and Dalvin as my two workhorses, which was a must for me in this auction. The reason is that value can be found at the bottom while players like Gurley and Antonio Brown are all going for just about what they are worth. Frankly, however, I built this team in reverse with the cheaper players being selected first and going from there. It was tempting to splurge on Todd Gurley, who just had one of the best seasons in fantasy football season. Saquon Barkley, Dalvin Cook, Marshawn Lynch, Sony Michel, Duke Johnson, Rex Burkhead Add in 15 touchdowns over the past two seasons and I’ll gladly take it for just $4. As for Rudolph, the argument is simple: Kirk Cousins LOVES tight ends and Rudolph hasn’t missed a game in three seasons. If he doesn’t work out then you just cut your minimal losses and move on to streaming Andy Dalton here and Blake Bortles there like most everyone should be doing anyway. Rather, you can just use $3 on Luck, who has QB #1 upside. If you aren’t streaming, you might as well take a shot at grabbing one of those top QBs, but you don’t have to spend all your auction money to get one. As Mike Tagliere demonstrated in his tremendous Boom, Bust and Everything In Between article series, unless you own a top-four QB, chances are, you’ve got better odds of streaming a QB to finish in the Top 12 every week than if you just play Tom Brady there every week.
