Guess we have a month to figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of years, they have been either 30 or 60 minutes before the draft starts. Don't recall which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can log in 30 mins before, thats when the draft order will be determined by the computer program. Other wise I would have the first pick....lol.

5fouls Posted August 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 2 weeks from today for the Champions League draft. 2 weeks and a day for the HSN2 draft What's everyone's draft position preference? Early (1-4), Middle (5-8), or Late (9-12)? I'm leaning towards late as being my preferred position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always typically preferred late so I can dictate the draft at the turns but lately I've found myself ok wherever. Prefer anywhere around 5 and on this year. Most of that though isn't based on my 1st round pick but who I'm targeting in 2nd this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 All things being equal (injuries especially) having the first pick is an advantage. Snake draft still highly favors those with early picks (if you make good decisions). Positional value and player value are always to your advantage because you get first crack. I feel most people don’t team build well so a good drafter can overcome picking at the back end and a lot depends on those early picks staying healthy but all things equal you pick early you will have an advantage. I feel the turn at rd 2 and 3 is a much bigger difference in quality as it drops off quite a bit around 20-25 playerwise and then you get into another tier of players. If you are picking 30-31…you are going to see a bigger difference in my mind. Most of my league winners (reg season) baring a catastrophic injury bug have had the winners pick from the top 3 positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Some guy on the Sirius Fantasy Football channel mentioned today that regardless of your draft position, their research showed that 30% of all ff production comes from the first two picks. You have to nail those selections or get lucky that later round picks really exceed expectations. Missing on either of the first two picks and hoping you hit the lottery is a recipe for failure 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing on either of the first two picks and hoping you hit the lottery is a recipe for failure I believe it. Strangely enough, though, recent history shows that the consensus #1 pick has been a letdown, if not an outright bust, many times in the last few years. Taylor last season, McCaffrey the year before. I heard it was somethin like 4 out of the last 5, have produced well under expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add in the Leveon Bell year at Pittsburgh, probably another CMC year, David Johnson, Saquon, and at least 1-2 years AP was #1 overall and finished outside top 25......I detest the first pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Lamar as my QB1 in a 2QB league last year. He carried me early in the season. T. Lawrence was my QB2. At the end of the year, I was having to start Desmond Ridder in Lamar's slot. Hard to trust Lamar due to the injury threat. But, when he's good, he's a fantasy dream. Edited August 11, 2023 by 5fouls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most Fantasy setups, a rushing yard is worth 2.5 times more than a passing yard. Lamar's 100 yards rushing and 200 yards passing is typically 18 points. Justin Herbert's 300 yards passing with no rushing is typucally worth 12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
