Fantasy Football: GoingFor2.com’s Writer’s League Draft Results Rds. 6-10

Round 6
1. Travis Kelce(KC – TE) Wentz Upon a…
2. DeVante Parker(Mia – WR) The Professor
3. Latavius Murray(Oak – RB) Le’Veon on a…
4. Larry Fitzgerald(Ari – WR) Zeke and Des…
5. Marvin Jones(Det – WR) Brad R’s Team
6. Melvin Gordon(SD – RB) I Wanna Ertz…
7. Emmanuel Sanders(Den – WR) Michael’s Team
8. Jonathan Stewart(Car – RB) Butters Boys
9. Carson Palmer(Ari – QB) BradB’s Boss…
10. Kevin White(Chi – WR) Run DeForest…
11. Denver(Den – DEF) JoshGordon a…
12. Sterling Shepard(NYG – WR) Don’t Get In…

Analysis: Round six we start seeing some of the high risk/high reward players like DeVante Parker and Melvin Gordon coming off the board. Our first defense also gets picked in this round with the Broncos going to JoshGordon a Freeman.

Winner: Zeke and Destroy gets yet another victory here. Anytime your WR3 is a No. 1 WR on his real life team and his team is expected to be a high-powered offense, that’s a win in my book.

Loser: JoshGordon a Freeman Really? A defense in the sixth? I’ll just leave it at that.

Round 7
1. Giovani Bernard(Cin – RB) Don’t Get In…
2. Tyler Eifert(Cin – TE) JoshGordon a…
3. Duke Johnson Jr.(Cle – RB) Run DeForest…
4. Delanie Walker(Ten – TE) BradB’s Boss…
5. DeAngelo Williams(Pit – RB) Butters Boys
6. DeSean Jackson(Was – WR) Michael’s Team
7. Allen Hurns(Jax – WR) I Wanna Ertz…
8. Coby Fleener(NO – TE) Brad R’s Team
9. Donte Moncrief(Ind – WR) Zeke and Des…
10. Graham Gano(Car – K) Le’Veon on a…
11. Ameer Abdullah(Det – RB) The Professor
12. John Brown(Ari – WR) Wentz Upon a…

Analysis: Butters Boys swoops in and steals Kellie’s (Wentz Upon a Time) Le’veon Bell handcuff by drafting DeAngelo Williams in this round. Trade bait maybe?

Winner: With his pick of Giovani Bernard, Don’t Get in My Way wins Round 7. Bernard will be a PPR machine this year and will be a great flex option on Brandon’s team.

Loser: Le’Veon a Prayer A kicker in the 7th? Man, I guess neither Gerson or Matt read my Draft Dos and Donts. NEVER get a kicker or defense before the last two rounds.

Round 8
1. Chris Ivory(Jax – RB) Wentz Upon a…
2. Michael Crabtree(Oak – WR) The Professor
3. Seattle(Sea – DEF) Le’Veon on a…
4. Jay Ajayi(Mia – RB) Zeke and Des…
5. Arian Foster(Mia – RB) Brad R’s Team
6. Zach Ertz(Phi – TE) I Wanna Ertz…
7. Carolina(Car – DEF) Michael’s Team
8. Julius Thomas(Jax – TE) Butters Boys
9. Arizona(Ari – DEF) BradB’s Boss…
10. Theo Riddick(Det – RB) Run DeForest…
11. Steve Smith Sr.(Bal – WR) JoshGordon a…
12. New York(NYJ – DEF) Don’t Get In…

Analysis: Another defense off the board in Round 8, in fact, we had two taken in this round. Though not as egregious as taking one in the sixth, it’s still way too early to be thinking about it.

Winner: Wentz Upon a Time gets Chris Ivory with the first pick in the eighth round. He will likely serve as the fill-in for Le’Veon Bell and his first four games are all favorable matchups. After Week 4, he will make an excellent flex play.

Loser: Don’t Get in My Way – This was a toss-up between BradB’s Boss Team and Don’t Get in My Way as they both took defenses here. I gave the L To Don’t Get… because I know Brandon personally and I thought he was smarter than that.

Round 9
1. Stefon Diggs(Min – WR) Don’t Get In…
2. Mohamed Sanu(Atl – WR) JoshGordon a…
3. Tom Brady(NE – QB) Run DeForest…
4. Stephen Gostkowski(NE – K) BradB’s Boss…
5. Tavon Austin(LA – WR) Butters Boys
6. Willie Snead(NO – WR) Michael’s Team
7. Kansas City(KC – DEF) I Wanna Ertz…
8. Derek Carr(Oak – QB) Brad R’s Team
9. Danny Woodhead(SD – RB) Zeke and Des…
10. Torrey Smith(SF – WR) Le’Veon on a…
11. Ladarius Green(Pit – TE) The Professor
12. Vincent Jackson(TB – WR) Wentz Upon a…

Analysis: For those wondering how far Tom Brady would fall with his four-game suspension, Round 9 felt like  the right place to draft him. This round was dominated by WRs as six of the 12 picks went to the pass catching divas that are NFL wide receivers.

Winner: Run DeForest Run Anytime you can get a top ten player at his position in the ninth round, it has to be a win. Yes, he will miss the first four weeks, but I’m confident I can find a suitable replacement for those games.

Loser: BradB’s Boss Team Back to back picks of a defense and a kicker will award you with an L in my book. Stephen Gostkowski, on his own in the ninth round, I would be okay with, but the fact that Brad took a defense in the previous round means he is going to end up with a very shallow bench at the end of this draft.

Round 10
1. Andy Dalton(Cin – QB) Wentz Upon a…
2. Charles Sims(TB – RB) The Professor
3. Tony Romo(Dal – QB) Le’Veon on a…
4. Gary Barnidge(Cle – TE) Zeke and Des…
5. Frank Gore(Ind – RB) Brad R’s Team
6. Laquon Treadwell(Min – WR) I Wanna Ertz…
7. Justin Tucker(Bal – K) Michael’s Team
8. Kirk Cousins(Was – QB) Butters Boys
9. Eli Manning(NYG – QB) BradB’s Boss…
10. Tevin Coleman(Atl – RB) Run DeForest…
11. T.J. Yeldon(Jax – RB) JoshGordon a…
12. Philip Rivers(SD – QB) Don’t Get In…

Analysis: Round 10 was the round of the QB as we had five of them go in this round. Kellie kicked off the run on QBs by taking Andy Dalton with the first pick of Round 10. I chose to wait two more round to get my Tom Brady replacement.

Winner: Don’t Get in My Way gets the win here as Philip Rivers last year was a top five QB before he lost his No. 1 receiving target Keenan Allen. I have Rivers ranked higher than at least five of the QBs that went before him, so Brandon redeems himself by landing him with the last pick of Round 10.

Loser: Run Deforest Run I drafted Tevin Coleman with the thought that Coleman would eventually eat into Devanta Freeman’s workload, but in hindsight, I should have gone with the higher upside of T.J. Yeldon who went one pick later.
