In round 9 and round 11 of best ball drafts that I run, who do you like later in drafts knowing you don't have to time spike weeks?

Currently eyeing up guys like Lockett, Foreman, Dowdle, Otten for flex, Baker and Geno if I go QB3 early

Lockett out of that bunch.

Honestly don't eclectic much, if anything out of Big D backup RB's... they're all the same exact dude minus Freeman of course. Toss up between which of them is the COP/true backup, wouldn't assume Dowdle has anything seen up, including a roster spot. Just never know

Thinking Shaheed, Wilson, or Wicks might be best left there.

Id go Dowdle... Pretty easily too... we have no clue how the Dallas running situation will work... there is a chance that Dowdle impresses... if he doesn't, he may for a couple weeks... and that's what you need...

Lockett is safe,

I would also go QB early, especially if those are the 2 best available

I have Dak and Cousins, but do want to prioritize QB3 before all the good options are gone and I'm stuck with the leftovers.

Pretty sure you were the one that convinced me to make QB3 a bigger priority in best ball a few yrs ago

Might be even more so with Cousins at his age and the achillies comeback... not too mention #8 overall looking over his shoulder

yup.. QBs score too much in fantasy... if you can better your chances to get 20+ every week at one position, DO IT!!!!

RB
Allgeier should have been traded somewhere, maybe he still could?

Is Mixon going to stay healthy?

Gibson, that offense is going to dump the ball off. Stevenson hasn't stayed healthy yet.


WR
Gabe Davis could prove to be a good match with Lawrence.

Cooks could pop. He did last year one week and he was finding the redzone at the end of the year. DCs gameplanning for Lamb all offseason.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

I think I start to look at Videl as a possibility. Not much in front of him and could be the feature back there by mid season. Or could be on the practice squad, but hell...
