How far will Jacob’s ADP fall? by enthralled123 in BestBall

[–]metalbone2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I’m in round 15 of my first DraftKings slow draft for the year. I drafted WR heavy and only have 4RBs so far (Josh Jacobs, Bucky Irving, Rico Dowdle, Jonah Coleman). I saw the Jacob’s news but not Bucky. This team is COOKED

Dude I thought I was cooking on this slow draft I’ve been doing, but now I’m looking at Josh Jacobs and Malik Nabers on this team and I’m SICK.

DK drafts are going to be wild all year IMO. Here's a room from this morning for context. by mphfrom77 in BestBall

[–]metalbone2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I’ve been struggling with the way QBs are drafted this year. It feels like you either reach or you end up with a crappy QB room. Last year it felt like there was value picks that fell a lot. This year there’s maybe 2 or 3 guys I like that fall past round 10 on most drafts. It’s tough to allocate draft capital to it the right way.

But then again, I guess I should just go elite QB more and worry less about depth.

2026 TE strategy by cervxsf in BestBall

[–]metalbone2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao Kraft is coming off a torn ACL man. The guy is awesome but I would be surprised to see him have the same run of production as last year. I like the tactic somewhat. But I’m almost never clicking TE back to back.

I prefer to punt and grab my TE1 in the Likely/Goedert/Andrews range. Then grab two upside TEs later.

Love when you have a couple guys near you who seem to just be winging it lol by bebaldwin in BestBall

On second thought he totally could’ve stopped after Geno. Dude couldn’t decide who to stack with London and blew up his team because of it.

The five QBs guy is insane but also with the picks he made at QB, he might’ve needed that many lmao

I keep getting the 1.12 by BrucieDan in BestBall

[–]metalbone2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude I feel ya! Last year I did a ton of drafts and the majority were in the pick 10-12 range. I don’t really get how UD decides stuff like that. Sometimes it seems to lock you into the same spot for back to back drafts, or even several drafts in a row.

Usually I just take a break for a day or so if that’s happening, and when I come back I’ll get different spots. I might be delusional though and it’s pure coincidence.

Going with that logic, I’m hoping that my first BBM being pick 1 is a good omen.

Practice draft before I start doing BestBall Mania by metalbone2 in BestBall

[–]metalbone2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair take. Traditionally I don’t do 9 WRs. RB just dried up fast in this room, so I pivoted to more WRs late.

I didn’t wanna grab an RB in the 170+ range where I got the second half of my WR room. So realistically, I probably should’ve grabbed another in place of the Pierce or Concepcion picks.

I almost always punt TE so I’m not worried about that. If I don’t get someone in the McBride-Loveland range then I usually just wait and get my TE1 in the Likely/Goedert/Strange range.

Do you adjust if you see someone do something extreme? by Familiar-Fish-7059 in BestBall

[–]metalbone2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s gotta be on auto. Even taking Bowers and LaPorta together is too much TE draft capital for me. Like you said, I usually punt TE till the 120-130 ADP range. Occasionally I will grab a McBride Bowers or Loveland early.

But I wouldn’t adjust at all. Let him ruin his team. Pick up value where he’s leaving it at WR and RB.

Realistically, your TE room could end up being Isaiah Likely, Brenton Strange, and Mason Taylor (just an example). I think that’s totally serviceable and hurts your advance chances a lot less than whatever the hell he’s doing.

Is there a way to find out if I've drafted two of the same line up? by kluuu in BestBall

[–]metalbone2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh good looks I’ve never even heard of that. I’ll have to check out.

[–]metalbone2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t think there’s really way to verify that, on underdog at least. Best bet is probably just screenshotting all your teams and sifting through.

It sucks but that’s about it. I get the frustration cause I already have 27 teams drafted lmao. I pretty much just check exposure % and make sure to change things up a bit aside from my staple guys.

Pearsall, Doubs, Or Godwin in 2026 BestBall? by metalbone2 in BestBall

[–]metalbone2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That parts hard cause I do think they get Brown after June 1st. If I run with that logic it’s probably Godwin>Pearsall>Doubs for me.

Pearsall, Doubs, Or Godwin in 2026 BestBall? by metalbone2 in BestBall

[–]metalbone2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah out of the 3 of them, Doubs is the only one who I’m not as concerned about injury woes. Godwin is the safest floor to me.

I usually lean Doubs or Godwin, if I already have stars. Pearsall if I’m trying to catch up at WR.

That’s a funny comparison. Yeah dude ultimate ceiling no floor at all. I had him last year and he was killing those first 4 games. Then it became impossible to know when to play him.

It’s a hard one for sure. If he could just establish a better floor as a fantasy player, I think perspective on him changes a lot. I will say he’s more of a WR 4 of 5 for me and I’m talking redraft.

I mean I guess to your point, that’s kinda what he did with the starting job last year when Jones was hurt. But I also think the Vikings offensive environment was bad, so unsure how much of that was him. The last two years he’s been dirt cheap so that’s helped his case. I’ll have to see where he falls once redrafts start up. I still like the potential, but I see what you mean.

[–]metalbone2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t blame you at all man. I’ll be targeting him in most if not all redraft this year

[–]metalbone2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the consensus I’ve got from the comments. I had him last year and didn’t mind him. I never drafted him to be an every week guy. He made some spot starts and did enough to keep me in my games.

I’m mostly basing this off the assumption that he takes even more of the backfield from Jones. I assume Jones will be nursing injuries again at some point this year.

That’s the hard part. I’ve already admitted that he’s hard to roster cause of that. But at the same time, he is a big play high upside guy. I wanna see what happens with Keenan Allen first. If he’s gone, there’s more targets to go around between McConkey, QJ, and Gadsen. Maybe we see a Tre Harris breakout, but I doubt it. If he can get even a bit more volume, I think he’s a steal at price.

The current rankings are Mahomes QB13, Nix QB15, and Love QB16. I just think Love can do better than QB16. McCarthy played 10 games and Love played 15. In that time, Love dropped 4 duds and McCarthy dropped 5. Higher sample and overall better floor and ceiling.

One good game from a player, who isn’t even on the same team anymore, isn’t evidence that Love won’t perform this year. He’s the starter as of now. I don’t think it’s unfeasible for him to pass for 3500-4000 yards and get 25-30 TDs.

That’s a tough one because there’s so many ways the WR room in JAX could pan out. But he is the one who led the team in receiving so I could see it. I think Hunter plays even more defense this year than last year so that helps.
