Post Week 6 Best
Draft Choices in the first 10 Rounds
Let’s take a look at the first 10 rounds of the draft and
see who made the best draft picks in each round. This is highly subjective and
not based on the statistics and data. If you disagree with a choice, who would
you have rather had?
Round 1
Derrick Henry has been dominant. He is on pace to shatter
the rushing record and TD record in the first season with 17 games. The Titans
supposedly strong receiving corps has disappointed and that has opened the door
for this guy to once again be the engine in a wildly potent offense. Easy first
overall at this point in the season.
Round 2
Najee Harris is a case study in opportunity being the most
important thing for a running back. He’ll get 28 touches each week and it
really doesn’t matter what he does with them for the most part. He gets a ton
of catches, and when he scores a TD it works. This is the highest floor I’ve
seen this year outside of Henry.
Round 3
Cooper Kupp is setting the NFL on fire. He’s on pace for
over 20 TDs and 1800 yards receiving. He eats breakfast with Matt Stafford, in
case you have not heard, and people like to make jokes based on his last name.
He’s been wildly consistent and has a load of 30+ point games. He is ranked
WR1, and it looks like he can keep it up.
Round 4
Diontae Johnson is only a surprise to those that have not
watched him before. When he is healthy and playing in a game he soaks up
targets and he gets open on nearly every route. Don’t watch him when Big Ben
makes a bad pass, his body language is awful, but his play is great.
Round 5
Josh Allen and the Bills are probably the best offense in
the NFL. That makes me super happy because I was tired about hearing how Mahomes
was so good. Anyway, I think that the name I’ve seen most consistently in these
write-ups is Josh Allen. He is doing surprising well, and is looking more legit
than I ever would have imagined.
Round 6
Darrell Henderson Jr. was discounted because of the addition
of Sony Michel. That’s hilarious! Henderson looks really fast, makes strong
decisions, and is on a great team. If he can stay healthy – and that is a
legitimate worry – he can end as a back end RB 1.
Round 7
Ja’Marr Chase is unfair. Ja’Marr Chase is always wide open
streaking behind the defense. I’ve never seen the same play work so many times
for the same guy. Maybe bringing Burrow’s old #1 was a great idea for the
Bengals. I thought his addition would make all the WRs useless, and it did. But
it made Chase fantastic.
Round 8
Antonio Brown, I hate that he still looks so good! This dude
is absolutely like the wildly toxic dude in your life that does not know how to
handle themselves and has the confidence that he is the best. The problem is,
Antonio Brown is and has been the best. He’s making Evans and Godwin look like
backups.
Round 9
Mike Williams emergence is pretty cool. He’s a fast giant
and it’s exciting that he has finally broke out so late in his career. The
Charger’s head coach, Staley, is a smart guy and knows how to use his talent.
Herbert is an emerging star and can sling that ball all around the field and
support a relevant WR. Good combo and pretty cool it has finally happened after
this long.
Round 10
Jalen Hurts. This is a weird one because Val was autopicked
Hurts and Stafford and Stafford is arguably better. The 10th round
was a travesty however, and Hurts is a top QB, so without context this is by
far the best pick in the round.
WEEKLY AWARDS
Best Manager
Jake of DonGodwin’s Underdogs scored 100% of his best
possible lineup.
Worst Manager
Alex of the Football Cream left 33 points on his bench,
losing to the guy that gave it everything he had.
Biggest Blowout
Colt 49’s took apart the Auto Draft Machine with a score of
180.98 to 117.98. That’s a huge 63 points. That’s more than Derrick Henry scored
this week, and the exact same amount that Saquon has scored all season.
Narrow Victory
Rip Lips and Fly Boyds took solace in the fact that their
teams are similar, but one had to lose. Rip Lips falls to Fly Boyds with a
score of 127.32 to 131.12. That’s a whole 3.8 points. 1 reception for 28 yards.
It feels like this Narrow Victory slot is reserved for Rip Lips beating a team
that they frankly should not, but this time Fly Boyds finished the job and got
the win.
Highest Scorer
(Overachiever)
Andrew’s team, appropriately named for his only two wins on
the season, the Meyer’s Slayers decided that it wanted out of the basement to
rain on my parade with a score of 182.04 points. That’s 139.6% above projections
and 100% bullshit.
Lowest Scorer
And just like brothers, for one to succeed the other must
fall. Alex’s Football Cream falters and only scores 109.78 points. Alex’s team
is not the Underachiever of the week however and what that really means is that
even ESPN expected the Football Cream to be sour.
Underachiever
The Greenbowl Packers may have smoked too much of that dank
and forgot they have to catch and run to make points. The team only scored
77.2% of their projection.
QB of the Week
Josh Allen of the Rip Lips scored 34.72.
RB of the Week
Derrick Henry of the Colt 49’s scored 35.6.
WR of the Week
CeeDee Lamb of the Colt 49’s scored 36.1.
TE of the Week
Noah Fant of the Auto Draft Machine scored 24.7.
QB Benchwarmer
Jalen Hurts (again) of the Greenbowl Packers with 27.0.
BONUS: Tua Tagovailoa of the Fresno Browns Streaks scored
25.36.
RB Benchwarmer
Kenyan Drake of Rip Lips put up 21.3.
WR Benchwarmer
KJ Osborn of the Goo Backs sored 19.8.
TE Benchwarmer
Ricky Seals-Jones got a kiss from the rose on Colt 49’s
bench with 15.8.
BOGUS STARTS AND
STATS OF THE WEEK
Tone’s Herb Seasoning
Dan Arnold travels to London and promptly retires at
halftime scoring a measly 4.7 points and proving decidedly that a TE playing in
London is not guaranteed points,
Meyer’s Slayer
I legit laughed and checked your wins when you changed your
name. WTF was that? How is your whole team going to come alive just because it’s
against me? Anyway, I’ve chosen the bogus start as Khalil Herbert because this
dude scores this much as a 3
rd string RB that was featured due to
COVID. Sucks.
Football Cream
Playing both of the Green Bay Packers RBs was a mistake. I’m
sure you feel that. Just think about how it would feel now if you had that
sweet McKisser in your lineup. Probably pretty nice.
DonGodwin’s Underdogs
Your whole entire bench scored 0. Now I may not be privy to
the reasoning on those particular players, but that seems bizarre to me.
Especially because byes only really started for a few times. Wild.
Colt 49’s
Myles Gaskin will doom you. You will be forced to chase his
points all season and see the same thing happening – nothing. But trust me,
when you bench him you’ll lose by the points he scored. When you play him, he
will score nothing. Good luck.
Auto Draft Machine
Damien Williams ended up in your lineup after being ruled
out on Wednesday with COVID. I guess just consider yourself lucky that it didn’t
matter anyway.
5 Yard Fullers
I think the love for the Browns is still hurting you. Austin
Hooper should likely not be a starting TE in fantasy, but do what feels right.
Fresno Browns Streaks
This is what it looks like when a good offense is brought
down by an awful defense and special teams. You lose by roughly 8 points and
the difference in those units was 1 to 18. Ooof.
Greenbowl Packers
Mike Evans has to hurt. There is no way you bench him, but
is he the WR4 on the Bucs? Ouch.
Goo Backs
Are there any differences in the Arizona RBs at this point?
This is when it sucks to draft a “handcuff.” When the only way one does
decidedly better is by scoring TDs, you’re gonna have a bad time.
Rip Lips
You took the same mistake I made one step further, you
actually put Josh Gordon into your lineup! Ouch. Probably could have won if you
didn’t do that.
Fly Boyds
Your RB2 slot is a mess. I can prove that by pointing out
that you actually played David Johnson. I do see you’ve dropped him already –
good choice.
