Good QBs and RBs.
---

B+

I was worried to take Wentz I don't trust his durability. Jealous you snagged Kamara.

Yeah I kinda lucked out on Kamara. I was fourth and two people in front of me were a bit late and got bit by the auto draft

Wentz was available rather late so I figured why not
---

That's a last-year championship team (ignoring QB's), so things look real solid. I'd have to see other teams to really compare. How many teams in this league?
---

I mean, getting Juju and Mixon seems like a steal to me. I'm curious what other people took.
---

How many people in the league?

8 people.

I'm facing probably the biggest competition week 1. His team is:

QB: Patrick Mahomes
RB: Devonta Freeman
RB: James White
WR: Julio Jones
WR: Tyreek Hill
TE: Travis Kelce
Flex: Tyler Boyd
D: Bears
K: Justin Tucker
---

Juju is my favorite player on the team. He should be outstanding.

I took zeke over kamara at pick 3 in one of my leagues. I just think his volume will win out despite Kamara being amazing. Kamara will still be solid though.

I'm skeptical of Mixon, but that's largely due to growing up around a lot of Bengals fans and knowing that disappointment is their specialty.

Mahommes, Hill, Kelce yikes

Here's the week 1 "early" matchups to give an idea of how things shook out.

PPR? Otherwise, James White is nothing.

I'm not the most afraid of those RB's, but all you need is for KC to have a bad game and this guy is sunk. Chances of that happening, though? Ehhh

Seems pretty solid, even for 8 team. What relevant RBs were still available when you grabbed Mixon though? I'm pretty low on him.

Not many. RBs went super fast and people went pretty deep.

EDIT: And yeah, it's PPR

That's basically how we feel, since this guy just immediately went for the KC people, pretty much. He's basically going to crush or sink depending on how KC does alone.

Like Im assuming you picked 3rd (maybe second). I have Mixon as my 7th ranked RB, so since based on your draft I'm assuming you went Kamara, Mixon, Juju, Kittle. I'd say thats a really strong starting 4 picks overall even in a 8 person league. Like, Mixon might have lost a little value where you picked him but I'm guessing he was still among the best RBs available when you got him. Juju and Kittle were likely very good picks where you got them. Kittle especially since the gap between Kittle/Ertz and the next set of TEs is pretty big imo.

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how it went.

Oof. I avoided Brown out of spite, but it seems to have been a really good idea.

I mean i drafted Brown in the B8 league, he'll probably only miss one game, maybe two at the most I'd say. My roster is very strong so I'm not really worried. Surprised you got him at 24, thats really late.

Eh, I'd be kinda worried, since they could opt to suspend him long enough to void the guaranteed money
---

yesterday there was news he delivered a heartfelt speech and apology to the team and the coach declared he would be playing this week, and i rested easy

today, he's suddenly released from the team

anybody know any good sleepers that wouldnt have been picked up in the draft i should grab
