Fantasy Football: High Stakes FFPC Draft Pick 7

We’re so close to kickoff I can almost taste it! The weather where I am has gotten a bit more dreary, there’s a lovely chill in the air, and some of my FanSided Fantasy compatriots are already guzzling down their pumpkin spice latte’s. Football season is upon us!

All of these glorious hopes and dreams wrapped into our season-long fantasy football teams that no one really cares about except for you. But you still find the compulsive need to brag about Davante Adams slipping to you in the second round and how dumb your fantasy football league mates were for taking Lamar Miller in the 6th round right before he, unfortunately, tore his ACL. You live for this! Well, I’ve got news for you sports fans…so do I.

This season I am going to be doing 3 “big money” fantasy football drafts on FFPC with two of my buddies as co-owners. In FFPC, it’s a bit different because the tight ends are premium with 1.5 pprr. All other positions are the normal PPRPP scoring. Also, the drafts are 20 rounds so they’re incredibly deep leaving the blind free agent bidding waiver wire quite thin. These are the drafts you see fantasy football gurus Evan Silva and Adam Levitan teaming up in all the time. I’ve done 5 previously and managed to win 3 of them so I’m quite confident. Hopefully, at least one of these 3 pans out this year. I thought it would be a good exercise to analyze each fantasy football draft I do in 3 separate articles.

This first draft was done Friday night August 23rd before the Andrew Luck and Lamar Miller news from the weekend which has obviously affected drafts in a pretty large way. Given how long these drafts are, I won’t do a full round by round analysis but I want to take a look at some of the more important swings we made and what our thinking was. Unfortunately, I can’t get a picture of the draft board loaded in so I’ll be embedding a tweet of it for reference throughout the article.
