LED BY A CHOICE GROUP OF BALL CARRIERS, HBT FOOTBALL TEAM IS HEADED FOR A LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP
| Draft Grade | Proj Record | Proj Finish |
A | 12-2 | T1 |
I suppose they might have graded me higher if I'd drafted a defense or kicker. But without that, B+ ain't bad...
It’s has to be graded on a curve! I would think a 11-3 record should be an A and a 3-11 record should be a D at leastView attachment 828520

Seems like I always get an A for the draft. I don’t always get the W’s that I really want through the season.
Probably my best report card yet. LOL
Looks like a solid squad to me. Difference-maker at TE, solid WR corps. Some risk-reward plays at QB, and I think a 1/2 punch of Jacobs/Javonte at RB is going to be really good, with a couple of upside plays behind them.
I like Mims. He was a target for me in the 20-team league since they give points for return yards, but didn't get him. I think he's going to be a solid WR3 if Sean Payton can get the offense to perform, and could be a difference-maker when we start to get to the back half of the season and the fantasy playoffs.
Yeah, this league kinda leans more toward the boom or bust options at QB. If they don’t pay off, there’s a almost certainly a cromulent replacement available. My other league has a superflex position making QBs much more in demand. I didn’t realize the impact that would have in my draft there last year, but got a little wiser this year.
Still took a boom or bust with Fields in that league though.
Also, as exciting as the draft always is, the real difference makers come off of waivers as the season gets rolling.

Which team was that? Of the three new teams, Finger Lakes Fury and Prestige Worldwide were both in attendance at the draft, and that only leaves Beer is my Patronus remaining. That team has made roster (IR) and waiver wire moves, so if it is Thorrak, it seems that he's still managing the team.
My team is Hop To It -- not one of the new ones.
With the last second draft time change I had intended to drop out entirely, but I guess I ended up with a team? I have no idea who Puka Nacua is (which apparently is a sentiment shared with NFL Fantasy as they don't have his photo) but apparently I'm supposely going to beat @TBC this week. Go figure.
If someone wants to take the team over, please be my guest -- otherwise, I'll do my best to keep it looking somewhat sane to prevent spoiling the league. Just know: If you lose, you lost to Team Autodraft.

Finger Lakes Fury is my team. I’m a newbie to the group looking not to lose to @Thorrak ’s auto draft team.
Hell, your autodrafted team looks better than more than a couple of the manually drafted teams

Autodraft takes control if you aren’t signed in, or run out of time during the selection. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, as you can see everyone’s results above.
Again, I apologize for the last second change. It was an honest attempt to try and have more people able to participate. At the time, it seems like most were responding with a free Saturday, it wasn’t an attempt to do anyone dirty.
Glad you are willing to still play with us, and thank you for being a good sport about not spoiling the league.
Although I get it was an honest attempt, I had made special arrangements to be present for the draft. It was incredibly frustrating to end up finding out with less than 24 hours notice that you had decided to change it. Not cool at all.

Glad everything arrived safely. No excuse for why I took so long. But that cotton candy sour is freaking awesome!!
@Thorrak Just FYI being new to the league, but there are up to two spots per roster available for injured reserve, suspended players, PUP players, etc. Saw you have a backup RB on IR and you can move him to that spot to open up another roster spot if you prefer.
I mean, not sure why I'm helping you since we face each other this week, but figured I'd point it out

The Eagles defense doesn't count as being IR, I don't think.@Thorrak Just FYI being new to the league, but there are up to two spots per roster available for injured reserve, suspended players, PUP players, etc. Saw you have a backup RB on IR and you can move him to that spot to open up another roster spot if you prefer.

Now the Giants...
Well they just got torched by Mac Jones, so...
Would love to see some trades in this league...
In my first year in this 20-team league I joined, I made two pre-draft trades of draft picks, and have already made an RB/TE package deal, a backup K/DST package deal, and am currently negotiating a potential RB upgrade / WR downgrade / Kicker package deal (that may not happen as I might be asking for too much at RB to cover my WR downgrade, but we'll see). And I'm not even the most active! But in a 20-team league there's absolute dog doo-doo on the waiver wire, so you've gotta make moves if you see an opening.
So if any of you see mutually advantageous trades with me, feel free to let me know. My view of any trade is that both owners should walk away thinking they've improved their roster.

Who would have thought someone would have to struggle thinking should I start Tua over Allen at QB moving forward?

In the other league I have Mostert and Tyreek. Only problem was that I was facing the Tua owner this week...
But yeah, that Miami offense is hummin', and I wouldn't fault you for rolling with Tua over Allen. Tua likes to throw the ball to his teammates, not his opponents. That's usually helpful for fantasy scoring purposes.

That's rough! I saw your matchup last week and felt bad.
On the flip side you could have started 3 Commanders from last night's game due to not knowing Kupp's status and waking up this morning to hear he's playing and I didn't need to do that.
