I wanted Martavis Bryant, but I knew he wasn’t going to get back to me, and he didn’t. He’s not a lock, and his suspension history is scary, so I can see why someone would pass on him, but I’m okay risking a sixth-round pick for someone with his ceiling…. I like this spot for Jordan Reed. Again, he is an injury risk, but truly the only player I feel comfortable putting up against Rob Gronkowski as a possible No. 1 fantasy tight end…. Since I went with the potential of Derrick Henry, I needed some running backs who could help me out more this season, and since this is a full-point PPR league, I decided to focus on pass-catching backs. Ty Montgomery was my pick, and even though I think Jamaal Williams could beat him out for work, I don’t see him going away in the passing game and feel like he can stick in that role with Rodgers at the helm for a long time.

7.11 James Koh — Tyrod Taylor, QB, Bills
7.12 Justin Boone — C.J. Prosise, RB, Seahawks
Kenneth Dixon was my second running back at the turn, and I have to say I’m kind of happy he was suspended. Those four games likely helped me get him later than he should have gone. The Ravens also haven’t done much to replace him, unless you count Terrance West and a 32-year-old Danny Woodhead as Dixon replacements, which I do not…. I’m a big fan of Philip Rivers for the next few years, so was sad to see him go off the board. My second quarterback pick continued to get pushed back…. I didn’t have too many tight end targets for this draft, but Henry was high on my list. There are a lot of mouths to feed in San Diego, but Rivers loves tight ends in the red zone…. I like Spencer Ware more than Kareem Hunt, but they will likely hurt each other’s touches over the next couple years. If I’m choosing in dynasty, I’m leaning Hunt, but for this year, Ware.
8.01 Justin Boone — Josh Doctson, WR, Redskins
8.02 James Koh — Samaje Perine, RB, Redskins
8.03 Dalton Del Don — Julian Edelman, WR, Patriots
8.04 Rich Hribar — Eli Manning, QB, Giants
8.05 Sean Koerner — Kevin White, WR, Bears
8.06 Mike Tagliere — John Ross, WR, Bengals
8.07 Bobby Sylvester — Breshad Perriman, WR, Ravens
8.08 JJ Zachariason — C.J. Anderson, RB, Broncos
8.09 Jamey Eisenberg — Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Cardinals
8.10 Jody Smith — Cameron Meredith, WR, Bears
8.11 Fantasy Footballers — Sam Bradford, QB, Vikings
8.12 Chet Gresham — Eddie Lacy, RB, Seahawks
We’re in the rounds where you’re grabbing players you just like more than others or veterans to fill out your 2017 starting lineup…. Josh Doctson is a post-hype guy who is perfect to grab here. I thought he might go earlier, but his injury troubles last season are keeping people away…. I actually like Breshad Perriman more than Doctson, at least for the near future due to his lack of competition in Baltimore, and I’m sad he didn’t fall to me…. I’ve always liked what Eddie Lacy can do when not injured, and I believe he will be the starting running back for the Seahawks this season. That’s enough for me to grab him here.
9.01 Chet Gresham — Eric Decker, WR, Jets
9.02 Fantasy Footballers — John Brown, WR, Cardinals
9.03 Jody Smith — Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints
9.04 Jamey Eisenberg — Pierre Garcon, WR, 49ers
9.05 JJ Zachariason — Ryan Tannehill, QB, Dolphins
9.06 Bobby Sylvester — Zay Jones, WR, Bills
9.07 Mike Tagliere — Mark Ingram, RB, Saints
9.08 Sean Koerner — Deshaun Watson, QB, Texans
9.09 Rich Hribar — Duke Johnson, RB, Browns
9.10 Dalton Del Don — Brandon Marshall, WR, Giants
9.11 James Koh — Martellus Bennett, TE, Packers
9.12 Justin Boone — Paul Perkins, RB, Giants
Eric Decker is coming off hip and shoulder surgeries, but he should be ready for camp, and with a touchdown reception in over half of his games, I think I can find room for him on my team…. John Brown appears to be good to go after dealing with a concussion, a cyst on his spine and complications from sickle cell. All reports are that he looks like he’s back, and the Cardinals no longer have Michael Floyd, while Larry Fitzgerald is heading out the door. They do need a replacement for Carson Palmer soon…. I think this is also a great spot for Paul Perkins. He’s always going to have competition in New York because McAdoo doesn’t seem to like one back taking the bulk of the work, but Perkins should be a good PPR play moving forward.
10.01 Justin Boone — Jordan Matthews, WR, Eagles
10.02 James Koh — Will Fuller, WR, Texans
10.03 Dalton Del Don — Rishard Matthews, WR, Titans
10.04 Rich Hribar — Tyler Eifert, TE, Bengals
10.05 Sean Koerner — DeSean Jackson, WR, Bucs
10.06 Mike Tagliere — David Njoku, TE, Browns
10.07 Bobby Sylvester — Marlon Mack, RB, Colts
10.08 JJ Zachariason — Mike Gillislee, RB, Patriots
10.09 Jamey Eisenberg — O.J. Howard, TE, Bucs
10.10 Jody Smith — Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks
10.11 Fantasy Footballers — Quincy Enunwa, WR, Jets
10.12 Chet Gresham — Bilal Powell, RB, Jets
Will Fuller is another player who has a lot of upside, especially if they can get Deshaun Watson going in Houston. Any player in Houston while Brock Osweiler was the quarterback has a decent chance to improve their numbers moving forward…. I thought Tyler Eifert would go earlier than this, but his injury history is worrisome to say the least. As I’m willing to take risks on players who get an “injury-prone” label, I like him here…. I feel dumb for letting Gillislee slide this far…. The Jets are a mess, but Bilal Powell is a good back and will lead them this season over the aged Matt Forte. I love him in PPR this season.
