Let's make a thread to shit talk and talk in general about this fantasy football season.
I myself have a hard time locating some good research materials and for one, don't want to spend a shit ton of time on it. By making this thread, I am actually spending more time on this fantasy football season than I usually do.
I have printed off some depth charts for WR and RB, which I think will help with the live draft and choosing players in mid to late rounds.
Anything else you guys keep handy for the live draft?

I would do that.
Howard might start the season in more of a blocking mode and second TE, and the Steelers are looking for a playmaker TE.
My bench is pretty shallow, so I put McDonald on my watch list.. will be keeping an eye on him definitely. [Reply]

In another league I'm in I drafted Hunt. Then I got worried because I also have Kelce. So I traded Hunt for Dalvin Cook and Abdullah(I also have Theo Riddick). [Reply]

If healthy....he should get 20+ touches a game. Health is a huge concern for him though.
I've got Elliott, Hunt, Powell and Rodgers though.....so as long as he's healthy for the first 4-5 games.....I'm good. If he's healthy all season.....even better. [Reply]

Dude....you don't ever handcuff a Patriots RB. It's fucking worthless. I tend to not ever draft one because you'll never know how they're going to be used from week to week. [Reply]

I know all too well the effects alcohol can have on one's draft as that was me last year but no matter how drunk I am I will do everything I can to avoid the NE run game and I would NEVER have two of them.
My money draft is tomorrow night and my plan is to not start drinking until right before the draft starts,wish me luck. [Reply]

Don't get overly excited because TH is no longer a secret and STs Coords and DCs will really game plan well for him and will have moderate success 'because' we have no other big time WR to take the pressure off and another big factor is that AS is QB. Now, once PM is passed the torch and another WR steps up as a legit threat that is when TH will be even more lethal than ever. Hill in most drafts will be drafted to high anywhere from the 2-4th rds. To me TH is realistically for this year is a 6th-8th rd pick. [Reply]
The question for me is how does the NFL Network justify having the Chiefs as the No.1 fantasy defense ?:-) We have no pass rush against good o-lines. [Reply]
