They're hitting Tyreek Hill from every side there but he is definitely the biggest risk on the Chiefs.

You're basically banking on big plays or maybe the new OC somehow incorporating him in the red zone since the Chiefs were terrible in the red zone last year. Its hard to believe thats the case, though, because Watkins had a (probably unsustainably) high TD rate last year so it stands to reason that the Chiefs are going to be using him in the red zone.

Although since people are talking about targets, he did have 25 more than Juju Smith-Shuster last year.

So just had a draft on ESPN.
Was a disaster.
ESPN froze and autopicked Antonio Brown for me at 6.
Froze again, and autopicked Dalvin Cook at 10.
The new ESPN draft room is terrible.
Or maybe I'm just frustrated.

The league Commish sent a message that he's disgusted himself and is deleting the league.
And setting up a new league that will draft Sept 10.

Has me worried about my next 2 drafts on ESPN.

[averagejoe]

draft september 10th????

I guess everyone's busy Labor Day weekend.
This league is just friends.
And 40% of them autopick.
The other 40% take it serious.
The remaining 20% are in the middle.

Has anyone else had an ESPN horror story?

Not to overshadow the BATG draft, but I had a draft with friends tonight.
Ugh.
It's a 12-team 2QB league with a 2-QB maximum.
(Actually, the 2nd QB position is "OP" or "offensive position" flex that allows a QB.)
Last year, they treated this like a normal draft.
Was pretty much expecting the same this year.
Was awarded the #2 draft spot.
All was going well until midway through the 3rd round.
Then QB started slowly coming off the board.
Took a risk and held off until round 6.
But by then I was on the tail end of round 6 with the 71st pick.
Out of desperation I drafted Luck (71) and then Goff (74).
I don't even want to show my team.
Ugh.

If it helps anyone else in a 2-QB league, the QB went like this:

17) Rodgers
22) Brady
33) Watson
38) Newton
39) Wilson
44) Brees
45) Roethlisberger
49) Wentz
54) Cousins
63) Carr
66) Stafford
67) Rivers
69) Ryan
71) Luck
73) Alex Smith
74) Goff
79) Mahomes
81) Garaoppolo
83) Trubisky
84) Mariota
94) Prescott
109) Dalton
137) Bradford
164) Manning

Truly shocked they didn't go higher and faster. 2 QB leagues, get two good ones, if they don't get hurt, it's a free pass to the playoffs. 2 of my first 3 or 4 picks would be QB's in that format

Yeah I agree, Joe did well. Since he held off on QBs he most likely got a leg up at other positions. Nothing wrong with the QBs he got either.

 

[TREFF]

for waiting as long as he did, he did very well with he got

I don't use ESPN. They are a disgrace in many ways.

Yahoo still has the best drafts as far as I know.
