Drafted an 8 player league yesterday. I'm considering a different approach to my bench than larger leagues. Anyone else playing or played an 8?
 
So everyone's checked in with the exception of Bucky since my last message to him.

I need everyone to make sure they can access the site and be ready for the draft. If you wait until the last minute, you may be forced to autodraft.

8 team leagues are more fun IMO. Bigger leagues are about how well you draft, smaller leagues are more about how you choose the match ups. More skill in smaller leagues, more luck in bigger ones

I'm considering using my bench for match ups. 2 qb, 2 defense, maybe 2 tight ends. I'm thinking, what good does a third down back sitting on my bench do when I could pick up a defense projected for 3 more points this week.

Also, it's a points league. No head to head.


ps. We are H-minus 3.5 hours.

Only go with one D, its just a waste for 2. its so hard to predict what they will do. go with a good D until bye then switch for another good D. Theres only 8 teams so good Ds will be available and if there arent then they are wasting spots on D and you will gain a much bigger advantage with a WR or RB on a good match up

Lamar Miller in flex. Bench is 6. Bench: Hogan, Tate, Carsen (SEA RB), Conner (I've Bell)...

Bal Def (proj. 9.2) replacing LAC Def (projected 8)

Mahomes replacing Wentz. I considered picking up Dalton for this week but Mahomes is projected about the same and has upside to potentially hold on to.

I'm considering picking up Njoku despite having Kelce. Him being in FA is not reasonable; if only for denial value. Gotta wait for Bell on that, it seems.

As an 8 league, my starting 2 rbs and 3 wrs are top tier.

Only if you really think his upside will pay off hes rated about the 14th best TE. So thats way down on 2nd string in a 8 team league

91% owned in Yahoo leagues. He's the only 90%er in FA. I'm not dropping Carsen for him, so I gotta wait for Bell anyway.

But 84% in ESPN leagues and remember that most leagues are 10 and 12 teams where you would definitely want to own him

True, but I think that percent has a considerable portion of upside. We'll know so much more in a few days.

I only have two rules when I play fantasy, dont be a homer and dont ever bet on the browns being successful
 
My hot water tank exploded today when I was at work. I'm going to have to auto-draft tonight, ugh.

Just don't autodraft with an old favorites/que. I autodrafted players who had been suspended and injured last year because my favorites list was old.

Probably best to clear favorites/que and autodraft best available.

Not gonna draft Bell in this league (took him second in another league). I'd rather Elliot or Brown, let alone Gurley or Johnson. Well, I guess that depends how far he falls.

Bell hasn't signed his $14.5 million franchise tag and can become a free agent in 2019 as long as he signs it by Week 11.

Highest projection this week, 111.21. Week one anything can happen.

Wouldn’t have taken him either. Got auto drafted before I could arrive

I mentioned it in chat during draft. I won't take Conner, nor should anyone else. Put in the waiver if you didn't draft him.
 
Play Agholor (Jeffrey is out) vs Atl or Robinson vs GB ?

That suuuu uuuucks. We just lost the water heater in the upstairs master. I think we are going to go with an electric tankless.
 
I figure drafting first, everything after the first pick is a crap shoot. I was going to take both Gronk and Kelce with my 2 and 3 and they both got snagged. Still...Im not unhappy.
