Two drafts this weekend and a 3rd team already drafted before I joined this other league. That 3rd team is a bit of a mess with a lot riding on Kamara who may or may not be a Saint by the start of the season. I don’t go for the uncertainty. I like a clear and present sense of WTF is going to happen. Covid limits that but there are certain undeniable truths.
Truth 1:
Barkley will be the top fantasy back barring injury. Nick Chubb will rank in the top five. McCaffery? Yeah he’s going to do very well, but I don’t see the team riding him to the extent they did last season. Given the choice I would draft Barkley first and go for a surefire QB pick second and follow that with another RB and then receivers. Yeah, I know this is PPR, but I think the backs are going to get yards and the WR choices are, generally speaking, deeper.
Truth 2:
Brady is going to be successful. He has too many weapons not to have a sick sick season. I am going to start that man. He has a chip on his shoulder again and several dangerous targets to choose from.
Truth 3:
There is no sure fire defense. There are perhaps 3 you can ride all season and get decent points, but the way to go is week to week. Save your draft capital for other positions including kicker. A good kicker is valuable especially early in the season where these teams have no practice against opponents and points may come fast a freely.
Truth 4:
I’m not taking the L in all three leagues. I’m going to win at least one…
