    I haven't been in a league in years but I signed up for my buddy's league and I essentially am donating to somebody's beer fund because I have no idea where to go.

    I have the 10th pick out of 10 teams so I also have the 11th pick.

    It's not PPR instead we get 1 point for every 10 yards and an extra 5 points at 100 yards
    6 for a TD

    RB's get 1 point for every 10 yards and 5 extra at 100
    6 for a TD

    QB's 1 point for 30 yards and extra 5 at 300, 6 for a TD

    I am not sure who I can expect at 10 or even who I should look at. I know there are some hardcore players here, wanna give me some tips?

    That 5 point bonus at 100 yards receiving is interesting. Even tho it isn't PPR I would still look to go WR WR with both your picks. Passing league and IMO you have a better shot at getting that 5 point bonus with a WR than a rb (Only 5 rbs went over 1K last year) and at pick 10 you probably won't get a rb worthy of that. I would look at a combination of Allen Robinson , Brandon marshall, or Gronk. Yeah I said WR WR but gronk basically is a WR1.

    10th in a 10 team league isn't a bad spot. You can probably go any which way, but you should probably grab at least 1 WR if value is there.

    Brown, Julio, Beckham, Gurley, Hopkins, D. Johnson and Elliot are almost definitely gone. That leaves Peterson, AJ Green, Gronk and Bell as the best available. You're likely picking from the last 2 of this group at 10/11, unless you're higher on a guy like ARob or Freeman.

    I'm picking 12th in a 12. I find that tougher. In a mock, I went for 2RBs, but my WRs ended up pretty weak. Value seemed to be with RBs there though, coupled with Bell's suspension (one of the RBs I selected) pushed me that way.

    If Gronk is there I might take him but I just feel disgusting doing it, I also thought going Brady with my 3rd suspension and all. I have a feeling he's going to be pissed when he comes back and put up so big numbers but the Pats might be forced to actually play meaningful games in late December as well whereas Rodgers won't

    I'm gonna do a mock with the 10th pick to see how it goes

    3. LeSean McCoy (Buf - RB)
    4. Devonta Freeman (Atl - RB)

    You can't complain about those first 4 picks. I'd be thrilled if I could get those top 4 at 12/13 and36/37. It's unlikely any of those guys are available at the turns in a 12 team league.

    Is Brady really that devalued that he would fall to the 8th round?

    yeah he's going to miss 5 of 13 weeks during the fantasy season. If you want to grab Brady make sure you grab someone like Kirk cousins or Eli manning for the first few weeks

    8. (78) Larry Fitzgerald (Ari - WR)
    9. (83) Stephen Gostkowski (NE - K)

    That team is still really solid. Great QB, really good RBs when Bell returns, top 2 WR in Julio and a top 5 TE. Goodjob

    That's a pretty good looking team! I'd probably cut Cutler and a few WR's for some bench RBs. I would also try to acquire Henry if you have Demarco, and DWill because you have Bell just to be safe. Looks pretty solid though.
