I Got You: Fantasy Football 2015 – Round 1, Pick 3
We use a 12 team snake draft in the Yahoo Fantasy Football format.
Round 1, Pick 3
A lot of backs available. Gronk is my guy.
Round 2, Pick 22
Randal Cobb is Rodgers’ new guy. The injury he has is minor.
Round 3, Pick 27
Brandin Cooks is Brees’ new guy. Expect a ton of targets.
Round 4, Pick 46
Jonathan Stewart is the guy in the 4th round. He should probably be going higher.
Round 5, Pick 51
DeSean Jackson completes my receiving corp in the 5th round. They are explosive.
Round 6, Pick 70
LeGarette Blount went in the 6th round. I looked very hard at Vincent Jackson, but maintaining balance on my roster was key.
Round 7, Pick 75
Rashad Jennings was the pick here. It filled a need more than anything else.
Round 8, Pick 94
Shane Vereen was the pick here though Cam Newton was tempting.
Round 9, Pick 99
Cam Newton was still available, but I decided to take his new number one Devin Funchess. At this point, Cam is just a name with little upside.
Round 10, Pick 118
Tre Mason was the pick here. Todd Gurley is not as close to playing as he was expected to be, and Mason is still a very talented runner in a Jeff Fisher, run heavy offense.
Round 11, Pick 123
I mistakenly auto-drafted Teddy Bridgewater here. I have no problem with that.
Round 12, Pick 142
I like Markus Wheaton filling in for Martavis Bryant in the first 4 games. Lookout for rookie receiver Sammy Coates to emerge in Pittsburgh as well.
Round 13, Pick 147
I liked Bishop Sankey here as he is in a battle with David Cobb for the staring back in Tennessee.
I auto-drafted the Kansas City defense in the 14th round with the 166th pick, and kicker Nick Folk in the 15th round with the 171st pick.
The final roster thins out towards the end. This team will be carried by the receivers and Gronk.
