I do read these even if I don't always respond. Heck, I'll come back and read them at the end of the year, see how much perspectives change and why.
I had my 1/2 PPR money league draft this weekend. 10 teams, drafting 7th, snake format
1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 FLEX, 1 D/ST, 1 K, 7 Bench, 1 IR
QB: Ryan Tannehill, Trevor Lawrence
RB: Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, David Montgomery, Chase Edmonds, Zack Moss, Devin Singletary
WR: Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, Courtland Sutton, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Micheal Gallup
TE: George Kittle
D/ST: Rams
K: Greg Zuerlein
My philosophy here was almost a 0 RB strategy except Chubb fell to me in the 2nd. Heavy positional advantage at WR1 and TE.
I was able to get Hunt as my handcuff in the 6th, which I feel is not too early considering he has FLEX value. I was 1 pick away from getting James Robinson, but I like Montgomery and Chase Edmonds as FLEX plays. After that getting both Bills RBs cheap gives me some value if one or the other steps up as a clear number 1 or there is an injury.
All of the good QBs were already taken fairly early (Mahomes' drafter also snagged Josh Allen), so I settled on Tannehill in the 10th, but that's probably not a bad bet considering his WR talent this year. Lawrence I wanted a QB both with upside and that's starting immediately since there was some question about Tannehill getting off the Covid list for week 1 going into the weekend (I think he's already off now).
WR I'm counting a bit on a Last Dance mentality with Adams and Rodgers. All these are all guys including Adams are guys I've drafted before so there's some familiarity. Wouldn't be surprised to see a JuJu resurgence. I feel like there's some depth at WR in the league right now, so there isn't much difference between my back end and waivers, so I'm not too worried.
K and D/ST I tend to stream, but despite picking late I still got two of the best. I may end up trying to keep them most of the year.

I have 3 teams right now. Still debating whether or not to join a random auction league like I usually do (but I joined in a new league this year and typically the random auction league is my 3rd.)
I'll just post my pay league.
QB: Trevor Lawrence, Deshaun Watson
RB: Mixon, Carson, Davis, Jamaal Williams, Moss, Ty-son Williams
WR: Woods, Anderson, Boyd, Calloway, Michael Thomas, Tyrell Williams
TE: Kelce
D/ST: Bills, Colts
K: I don't draft kickers. I'll pick one up before Sundays games but idk which
I tried stretching on getting stafford with the last pick in the 8th round even though he never lasted that long in my mocks. He obviously didn't last that long here either. So then I figured I could wait until the 10th and get Baker or Fitzmagic. They didn't last. So I waited until 12 to get Lawrence. Watson is a flyer I'm stashing on ir until we found out what's going on. If he plays any, I think he's still a top 10 fantasy qb on a weekly basis.
Happy with my rbs. Bell signing with the ravens takes some of the shine off my ty-son pick.
My wrs could be weak behind woods. But I think I can find one or two a week to put up good enough numbers.
Te I was obviously waiting on after kelce. Guys I was thinking I could get in the 10th round possibly went 6,7, and 8th rounds. So I just kicked my backup te problem to the curb. If kelce goes down I'm screwed regardless. So I really just need someone for the bye week. I got time.
I'm usually really good at picking defenses. This year I just totally guessed on. I have the Chiefs defense in one of my other leagues but they went quicker than I expected in this one and my 3rd league. I don't expect the bills defense to be as good as last year but they were something like the 10th defense drafted.

So who would you start in the flex spot in a standard scoring format?
Tony Pollard v Phi
Chase Edmunds @ Jax
Antonio Brown @ LA Rams
Michael Pittman @ Ten
Jevonte Williams v NYJ
It's a 10 team league so the rosters are a little more stacked.
