For anyone interested, I have all this data that gets dumped into an excel spreadsheet. I can use pivot tables to easily configure the information in any way you would like to see it. If there is something you would be interested in seeing, (positional breakouts/free agent performance) drop me a note in the comments section below and I will include the information in an upcoming newsletter.
Rounds 11-16: Team-by-Team Review
What continues to surprise me is how close the scoring is between players drafted in Rounds 6-10 vs Rounds 11-16. Only 133 points separate the two groupings. Most managers tend to check out on the draft once we get to the 12th round. Grab a D/ST, QB3 or an injured player to stash on IR. But their is real talent to be found.
Steals:
QBs rule the day here, with the top four spots being held by Bryce Young (27 points/game), CJ Stroud (19), Aaron Rodgers (18) and Jacoby Brissett (14). So this list will concentrate on the non-QB selections.
MFT drafted RB Kyle Monangai is averaging (15 points/game), but his scoring has been inconsistent which makes him a difficult start. But he could be helpful now that we have entered the Bye Week portion of the schedule.
Skoal Bandits selected TE Juwan Johnson (15 points/game) and has scored double-digits in every game this year.
Ghostbusters drafted (then promptly traded, then he got hurt) Jalen Coker. He was averaging 25 p/g until he got hurt.
Peeping Tomlins drafted Mike Wilson (14 p/g) in the 11th round.
Ghostbusters drafted Travis Kelce in the 11th round and he is scoring 13 p/g.
Sleepers:
Due to injuries for the Vikings, Aaron Jones (13 p/g) could be a playable option for Stick Rock.
MKBA took the Jaguars D/ST in the 13th round and they might be a plug and play defense every week regardless of the opposition.
DK Metcalf is heating up in Pittsburgh and could be a bye week fill-in for MFT.
Wrath of Khan drafted Wandale Robinson in the 12th round and could help the starting lineup with a 10 point floor each week.
Flanders selected Stefon Diggs in the 12th round and he has been averaging 13 p/g for an injury plagued Commander team.
Busts:
MKBA drafted Marshawn Lloyd in the 11th round with hopes he will lbe the bell cow back while Josh Jacobs is out, but he has only averaged 6 p/g.
JST Drafted Jake Ferguson in the 12th round. Other than a 20 point outlier in Game 2, he has averaged 5 points/game in the other 3 contests.
Thats it for now. Un-drafted Free Agent pickups will follow next week.
As always,
