Preseason is over. Fantasy football drafts have started. Cut day is tomorrow. The NFL continuing down the pay-per-view path. Figured I'd open another thread. Who are your fantasy must own or sleepers?

Don't know about must own, but I got first round pick in my FFL but couldn't join until a few minutes in. Auto-draft got me Justin Jefferson Jefferson (yay) and Jonathan Taylor (boo, but maybe not? we'll see after tomorrow.)

This is the first draft I'm doing without knowing what position I'll be drafting until right before the draft. Pretty excited for that. I'm not sure who to draft if it ends up top 3 or so. Tempted to take Kelce in the middle of the first. All my mocks are running wr's before rb's. I think it will be top 4-5 rb's, top 3-4 wr's and Kelce in mine. Should be fun!

I'm not doing fantasy but I do have NFL+ and watch several (condensed) games after-the-fact. 40m per game, all action, is pretty neat.

Being reported the Colts asked for "Waddle and more" from Miami for Taylor. Yikes...

Not specifically NFL related, but anyone watch the show "Ballers" with the Rock? I just started it up last week. It's a lot of fun so far - kind of like the show Entourage except for pro football. I am about half-way through the first season. Check it out if you like sports, it's a fun dramatized look at a lot of off the field stuff players deal with.

First draft tonight. Only a modicum of a plan. Wish me luck! Random order, 8 team league.

It's going to look better than it is due to being an 8 team league, but here's my first team (No ppr):

QB Herbert
Wr Diggs
Rb Mixon
Te Kelce
Wr/Te D Adams
Wr/Rb Mattison
K Mia
D Phi
Bench
B-Rob
J Taylor
D Cook
A Cooper
M Evans
Tua

If Taylor can come back to 90% of what he was after week 4 this team is going to make a run. If he Leveon's should still be competitive. Cook, Evans and Tua are my drop candidates, and possibly B-Rob depending on what Bienemy does. I badly want to pick up Justyn Ross, and maybe even Rashee Rice of the Chiefs. By years end I think one of them will be KC's wr1 (besides Kelce). I don't trust their staff enough to get them enough reps early in the year to justify a spot though.

Jags winning it all this year. That offense is going to be insane.

It's a good story for sure... Doug Peterson exercising Urb's demons...

Lions at Chiefs in about 3 hours on NBC. Chris Jones still absent. Kelce a legitimate game time decision. Take a shot for every dropped pass by a KC receiver.

Kelce is officially ruled OUT.

Supposedly, Chris Jones said he's willing to sit out until Week 8.

Yahoo fantasy says he's out in an update, but they still have him listed as questionable. Need him switched to out so I can put him on IR and pick up another TE.

Tempted to pick up LaPorta, but KC's LB core is legit. If he were to go off, would be good trade bait.

Edit: They initially put him NA (like he got benched not for injury) making him ineligible for IR. Thankfully it got corrected. Rolling with the unknown in LaPorta.

5 drops I think, 1 of which was a pick 6. Could be 0-2 going to Jax next week.

Little messy game and could have gone either way, but going to Arrowhead and beating darling Mahomes first game of the year in primetime feels good.
