Hey all. Has anybody been hitting the podcast draft training circuit as hard as I have been? It's that time of year. 

Who are you all liking and disking?

I'm looking at a lot of the rookies at RB and WR.  Hampton, Harvey, Henderson, Johnson. T Mac, Egbuka, love all of these dudes. 

We draft 8/23.

Is there a Surly league? My main league finally died this year.

I think there is, but you could always make another. My league died as well, last year, so I played fantrax. It was kind of lame, but that's what I had available

I used to play in a shaggy league but it dissolved. Might be interested in another paid league if you need fillers.

Back to draft matters, who do you all have on your DND list? I'm not touching these guys at current ADP.

CMC. I'm hearing a lot of recent chatter that the pros want this guy at his current ADP. I'm not worried about general injury, I'm worried about THE injury. I'm an NBA guy and recent track record for guys coming off of calf strains with tendinitis in the AT isn't great. Plus I'm a jinx and I don't wish that on him. 

Jeanty - unless keeper league

All Dolphins - getting bad juju about this team this year. Implosion seems like a real possibility. 

Breece Hall is apparently trending towards being more of a pass catching back in a 3 man timeshare. No thanks. 

I fear pretty big regression with James Cook. I have listened to a lot of podcasts and I have yet to hear anyone mention in regards to Cook that Josh Allen had a broken left hand for a big chunk of the season and the Bills were not calling his number in the red zone. 

Any others?

Mock drafts are all over the place right now, but I'm seeing Jeanty going in the first round most of the time. That's a hell of a gamble

This was a bit overstated by some of the guys I was hearing it from, at least if this weekend's game is any evidence. I think Hall is the main back, but they will use Allen in short yardage situations and on the goal line.

I am looking to add one more league and I know one other person from a league that he and I were in that died - he is looking to join a league as well (I don't think he is a surly guy though, not sure) - so that is two more that would join if a new league gets started.  We'd be down for anything (8 team, 10 team, 12 team, keeper, redraft, etc.) from $100 entry upwards.

Draft was tonight. If your league pays any kind of attention don't count on those rookie discounts. Hampton, Henderson, Harvey, Kaleb Johnson, T Mac all went for a premium well beyond where they were projected (auction). I have the worst RB room in the history of my league that has been going since 93. James Connor, the Jags (with BT Jr as my keeper) and I better hope Cam Skeetebo comes around. 

On the plus side it's a ppr league and I'm 7 deep at WR/TE/Flex. 

Still not what I was going for. Josh Allen is my RB1 I guess.

My wife's book club did their first ever FF draft tonight so of course I drafted for her. Fish in a damn barrel. I saw Kickers and D/ST's getting picked in the 5th round. Lots of random wtf picks. Her team is fucking loaded.

Got pick 1 in a 12 team. First year doing dynasty in this league so obviously this draft is important. Someone convince me not to take Bijan 1.1

Hah. I took a ton of rookies. Probably too many. I have Harvey, Golden, Tre Harris, Loveland and Blue.
