I did my first $555 buy-in
@DraftKings best ball draft of the season yesterday. Fast draft. Had the 4th pick. Some thoughts:
ROUND 1: The top-5 are incredibly close in underlying projection for us. I personally have it Gibbs, Bijan, Chase, Puka, JSN. But I will follow ADP to be balanced there.
ROUND 2: Was thrilled Josh Allen, Omarion Hampton, Trey McBride all went before I picked. We are at 13 overall on London in this full-PPR format, got him at 21. We have Allen 39 overall on DK.
ROUND 3: Slightly prefer DeVonta Smith over Breece Hall in a vacuum, but it's very difficult to wait on RB this year.
ROUND 4: Jayden Daniels (and Jalen Hurts) two of my favorite QB plays at current ADP. Wanted to set up the Jayden stack with McLaurin.
ROUND 8/9: Thought about TE, but think the late-round TE options are much better than the late-round RB/WR options right now. No need to force.
ROUND 11: Fist-pumped in Malik Willis here. Different bye week than Jayden Daniels, enough ceiling to make me OK with 2-QB build, can play him naked. Still, would've taken Daniel Jones in Round 12 for Josh Downs correlation if he got to me.
ROUND 16/17: Gets so bleak at RB late. I could easily take zeroes on Kaytron Allen and Kaelon Black. Couldn't even get pounder types Sean Tucker or Tank Bigsby to slide to me in full-PPR.
ROUND 18: Obviously I'm very weak at TE, do think I found some ceiling in this 4-TE build. Just have to avoid Kyle Pitts fisting me with a 50-ball in Week 15 again.
ROUND 19: Probably should be correlating with a Malik Willis WR here. Was on stone tilt from missing on Greg Dulcich.
Anyway, I'll continue my quest of trying to ship this $555 tournament for a million. It's gonna be a great summer (Gus Hansen voice)
