10 man league. I picked 9th, snagged Gordon. Guy after me took Hopkins and Julio. Scooping Hunt was an easy choice then. Even better next time around I was able to get Kelce and Thielen. Frankly I should have walked to that league's championship but I've had some ridiculous luck (2 losses by less than a point), and losing those 2 guys these past couple weeks has me at 7-6 and having to fight for final playoff spot this week despite having the most points for in that league by 150+.
Ok, that makes sense. I had a somewhat similar situation myself. 12 team league and I had first pick. Naturally, I took Gurley first and snagged DeVante Adams and AJ Green with picks 24 and 25. Came back after that to get Marshawn, Brees, Tevin Coleman and Robert Woods to round out starters. I finished the regular season with the most points scored by over 70 points but had a 9-4 record due to other teams simply having their best game ever the week they played me.
I ended up as the #2 seed so I can’t complain too much. One dude went 13-0 this year which had never previously happened in the 22 year history of our league. He also has a pretty good team as well.
