Think this is mine lads I managed to get cam who's rushing earns lots of points at an position. 2 starting rbs in run heavy offences - jax and Chicago and 3 no.1 wr's I am pleased!
That was my first ever NFL fantasy draft, by the way, so I had comparatively little knowledge as to who's who, and indeed I have no idea how the scoring system works. Are we in a PPR league? ... What does PPR stand for?
Honestly, how have I done? My gut feeling is "not bad for a first timer, maybe even quite good", definitely lack some WR depth... I dunno. Any honest appraisals?

You didn’t select a quarter back in the second round so I doubt you’ll be particularly successful.

That was only my 2nd, 1st time last year and I finished 3rd of 12 Beginners luck no doubt and i'll get hammered this time around.

PPR = Point per reception
And this league is not. It makes receivers more valuable.
Mate honest appraisal you had a great draft. I have been doing fantasy for about 5 years. You went hard on rbs and got two monsters in Freeman and Elliot. You definitely need to keep an eye out for a WR and probably a QB as Beers is a bit old now and doesn't pass as much with his two rbs he has now.

If you can figure out the waiver wire (I didn't in my first season) and pick up WRs week-by-week with good matchups your running backs should carry you along nicely. I think Brees is still a good top 10 QB so wouldn't worry too much about him, myself. Agreed that Ingram and Kamara together should get a lot of ball though.
I went with Brees because of the one-two RB punch having only one punch for four games, and I've thrown my lot in with the mainstays of the Jags receiving corps vs the Giants for Week 1 (risky, as we have an overpopulated WR committee rather than a standout WR1! but Bortles has apparently struck up a decent relationship with Austin Seferian-Jenkins, too, and nabbing all of them in the latter rounds seems like hopefully there's a steal in there). As for my top early picks, I think Elliott and Freeman rather fell into my laps, as did Ajayi somewhat.
@cs1986 Hurns for me is a question mark, if only over fitness, but you've got some real studs in there - definitely a contender!
Just got to decide between Bortles at Giants and Wilson @ Denver.....
Assuming you're not joking, this is actually quite a tricky decision. Bortles could definitely be looked to to put up yards, as the Giants run D doesn't look too bad (according to PFF etc anyway), and they're missing Rodgers-Cromartie so is there enough depth at cornerback... yeah. I also think Bortles is going to rush a bit more this year.
was being serious Padster. I think I will be going Bortles for this one.
Oh wow. Well, fair enough. I'm still used to the general Bortles talk all being hate and "experts" constantly panning him (looking at you in particular, ESPN).
(Don't get me wrong though, I'd probably have Russell Wilson over Bortles as a QB, but probably not for this particular matchup)
Marqise Lee out for the season. A real shame, given his utility when running crossing routes/screens/slants. Hope his knee injury isn't career-threatening (as a couple have reported).

Dez?
Lol no. Reasons:
1) We're a run-first team. Dez wants the ball, even if (especially if?) he's not completely open. This will piss him off and we do not need that in our locker room, getting everyone else all riled up.
2) Bad for Dez - he wants a one-year, prove it deal this year. He's 29. So, next year he'll want a 2/3 year contract based on performance. He won't have the opportunity to shine in Jacksonville. We're not a good fit. (Though, of course, expect Dez to Jags in the rumour mill)
3) It's in our best interests to carry over as much cap as possible for next season, and a one-year Dez deal impacts on that. We're projected to be well over it next year (20-30mil, can't remember which), and thus need to cut some combination of Dareus/Malik Jackson/Parnell/Church/Gipson, with Fowler going for a likely 3rd round compensatory pick too (which helps this sort of rebuild recruitment-wise rather than cap-wise). Also, Dareus/Campbell might restructure which could help.
4) We gave Donte Moncrief $9.6m fully guaranteed this year. Dez will want that much at the very least, and I doubt that represents value etc.

Noises coming out of the Jags also suggest you don't want him. He turned a multi year deal down with the Ravens a few months back too and we signed Crabtree instead. Sod him.
Saw Decker retired this weekend, leaves the Pats woefully short on receivers, losing Mitchell, Amendola and Cooks, and Edelman is out of the first 4 games too.

My auto draft has not picked me a kicker.
How do I chose a player to kick out and select a kicker?
Bottles is taking me to the final baby.
I like the picture that this guy paints.
Ingram and Lamar Miller at RB1 and 2 - yuck!
